* The TestCafe process no longer terminates before the report is written to a file ([#2502](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2502))

## v0.23.1 (2018-11-7)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Select Tests and Fixtures to Run by Their Metadata ([#2527](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2527)) by [@NickCis](https://github.com/NickCis)

You can now run only those tests or fixtures whose [metadata](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#specifying-testing-metadata) contains a specific set of values. Use the [--test-meta](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--test-meta-keyvaluekey2value2) and [--fixture-meta](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--fixture-meta-keyvaluekey2value2) flags to specify these values.

```sh
testcafe chrome my-tests --test-meta device=mobile,env=production
```

```sh
testcafe chrome my-tests --fixture-meta subsystem=payments,type=regression
```

In the API, test and fixture metadata is now passed to the [runner.filter](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#filter) method in the `testMeta` and `fixtureMeta` parameters. Use this metadata to build a logic that determines whether to run the current test.

```js
runner.filter((testName, fixtureName, fixturePath, testMeta, fixtureMeta) => {
    return testMeta.mobile === 'true' &&
        fixtureMeta.env === 'staging';
});
```

#### :gear: Run Dynamically Loaded Tests ([#2074](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2074))

You can now run tests imported from external libraries or generated dynamically even if the `.js` file does not contain any tests.

This was not possible previously because test files should contain the [fixture](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#fixtures) and [test](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#tests) directives. However, you can now provide the [--disable-test-syntax-validation](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--disable-test-syntax-validation) command line flag to bypass this check.

```sh
testcafe safari test.js --disable-test-syntax-validation
```

In the API, use the [disableTestSyntaxValidation](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#run) option.

```js
runner.run({ disableTestSyntaxValidation: true })
```

### Bug Fixes

* Touch events are now simulated with correct touch properties (`touches`, `targetTouches`, `changedTouches`) ([#2856](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2856))
* Google Chrome now closes correctly on macOS after tests are finished ([#2860](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2860))
* Internal attribute and node changes no longer trigger `MutationObserver` notifications ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1769](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1769))
* The `ECONNABORTED` error is no longer raised ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1744](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1744))
* Websites that use `Location.ancestorOrigins` are now proxied correctly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1342](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1342))

## v0.23.0 (2018-10-25)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Stop Test Run After the First Test Fail ([#1323](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1323))

You can now configure TestCafe to stop the entire test run after the first test fail. This saves your time when you fix problems with your tests one by one.

Specify the [--sf](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--sf---stop-on-first-fail) flag to enable this feature when you run tests from the command line.

```sh
testcafe chrome my-tests --sf
```

In the API, use the [stopOnFirstFail](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#run) option.

```js
runner.run({ stopOnFirstFail: true })
```

#### :gear: View the JavaScript Errors' Stack Traces in Reports ([#2043](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2043))

Now when a JavaScript error occurs on the tested webpage, the test run report includes a stack trace for this error (only if the [--skip-js-errors](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#-e---skip-js-errors) option is disabled).

![A report that contains a stack trace for a client JS error](docs/articles/images/client-error-stack-report.png)

#### :gear: Browsers are Automatically Restarted When They Stop Responding ([#1815](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1815))

If a browser stops responding while it executes tests, TestCafe restarts the browser and reruns the current test in a new browser instance.
If the same problem occurs with this test two more times, the test run finishes and an error is thrown.

### Bug Fixes

* An error message about an unawaited call to an async function is no longer displayed when an uncaught error occurs ([#2557](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2557))
* A request hook is no longer added multiple times when a filter rule is used ([#2650](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2650))
* Screenshot links in test run reports now contain paths specified by the `--screenshot-pattern` option ([#2726](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2726))
* Assertion chains no longer produce unhandled promise rejections ([#2852](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2852))
* The `moment` loader now works correctly in the Jest environment ([#2500](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2500))
* TestCafe no longer hangs if the screenshot directory contains forbidden symbols ([#681](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/681))
* The `--ssl` option's parameters are now parsed correctly ([#2924](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2924))
* TestCafe now throws a meaningful error if an assertion method is missing ([#1063](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1063))
* TestCafe no longer hangs when it clicks a custom element ([#2861](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2861))
* TestCafe now performs keyboard navigation between radio buttons/groups in a way that matches the native browser behavior ([#2067](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2067), [#2045](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2045))
* The `fetch` method can now be used with data URLs ([#2865](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2865))
* The `switchToIframe` function no longer throws an error ([#2956](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2956))
* TestCafe can now scroll through fixed elements when the action has custom offsets ([#2978](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2978))
* You can now specify the current directory or its parent directories as the base path to store screenshots ([#2975](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2975))
* Tests no longer hang up when you try to debug in headless browsers ([#2846](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2846))
* The `removeEventListener` function now works correctly when an object is passed as its third argument ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1737](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1737))
* Hammerhead no longer adds the `event` property to a null `contentWindow` in IE11 ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1684](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1684))
* The browser no longer resets connection with the server for no reason ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1647](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1647))
* Hammerhead now stringifies values correctly before outputting them to the console ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1750](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1750))
* A document fragment from the top window can now be correctly appended to an iframe ([testcafe-hammerhead/#912](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/912))
* Lifecycle callbacks that result from the `document.registerElement` method are no longer called twice ([testcafe-hammerhead/#695](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/695))

## v0.22.0 (2018-9-3)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: CoffeeScript Support ([#1556](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1556)) by [@GeoffreyBooth](https://github.com/GeoffreyBooth)

TestCafe now allows you to write tests in CoffeeScript. You do not need to compile CoffeeScript manually or make any customizations - everything works out of the box.

```coffee
import { Selector } from 'testcafe'

fixture 'CoffeeScript Example'
    .page 'https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/'

nameInput = Selector '#developer-name'

test 'Test', (t) =>
    await t
        .typeText(nameInput, 'Peter')
        .typeText(nameInput, 'Paker', { replace: true })
        .typeText(nameInput, 'r', { caretPos: 2 })
        .expect(nameInput.value).eql 'Parker';
```

#### :gear: Failed Selector Method Pinpointed in the Report ([#2568](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2568))

Now the test run report can identify which selector's method does not match any DOM element.

![Failed Selector Report](docs/articles/images/failed-selector-report.png)

#### :gear: Fail on Uncaught Server Errors ([#2546](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2546))

Previously, TestCafe ignored uncaught errors and unhandled promise rejections that occurred on the server. Whenever an error or a promise rejection happened, test execution continued.

Starting from v0.22.0, tests fail if a server error or promise rejection is unhandled. To return to the previous behavior, we have introduced the `skipUncaughtErrors` option. Use the [--skip-uncaught-errors](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#-u---skip-uncaught-errors) flag in the command line or the [skipUncaughtErrors](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#run) option in the API.

```sh
testcafe chrome tests/fixture.js --skipUncaughtErrors
```

```js
runner.run({skipUncaughtErrors:true})
```

#### :gear: Use Glob Patterns in `runner.src` ([#980](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/980))

You can now use [glob patterns](https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#glob-primer) in the [runner.src](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#src) method to specify a set of test files.

```js
runner.src(['/home/user/tests/**/*.js', '!/home/user/tests/foo.js']);
```

### Bug Fixes

* `RequestLogger` no longer fails when it tries to stringify a null request body ([#2718](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2718))
* Temporary directories are now correctly removed when the test run is finished ([#2735](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2735))
* TestCafe no longer throws `ECONNRESET` when run against a Webpack project ([#2711](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2711))
* An error is no longer thrown when TestCafe tests Sencha ExtJS applications in IE11 ([#2639](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2639))
* Firefox no longer waits for page elements to appear without necessity ([#2080](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2080))
* `${BROWSER}` in the screenshot pattern now correctly resolves to the browser name ([#2742](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2742))
* The `toString` function now returns a native string for overridden descriptor ancestors ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1713](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1713))
* The `iframe` flag is no longer added when a form with `target="_parent"` is submitted ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1680](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1680))
* Hammerhead no longer sends request headers in lower case ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1380](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1380))
* The overridden `createHTMLDocument` method has the right context now ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1722](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1722))
* Tests no longer lose connection ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1647](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1647))
* The case when both the `X-Frame-Options` header and a CSP with `frame-ancestors` are set is now handled correctly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1666](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1666))
* The mechanism that resolves URLs on the client now works correctly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1701](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1701))
* `LiveNodeListWrapper` now imitates the native behavior correctly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1376](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1376))

## v0.21.1 (2018-8-8)

### Bug fixes

* The `RequestLogger.clear` method no longer raises an error if it is called during a long running request ([#2688](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2688))
* TestCafe now uses native methods to work with the `fetch` request ([#2686](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2686))
* A URL now resolves correctly for elements in a `document.implementation` instance ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1673](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1673))
* Response header names specified via the `respond` function are lower-cased now ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1704](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1704))
* The cookie domain validation rule on the client side has been fixed ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1702](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1702))

## v0.21.0 (2018-8-2)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Test Web Pages Served Over HTTPS ([#1985](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1985))

Some browser features (like [Service Workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API), [Geolocation API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation_API), [ApplePaySession](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/applepaysession), or [SubtleCrypto](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto)) require a secure origin. This means that the website should use the HTTPS protocol.

Starting with v0.21.0, TestCafe can serve proxied web pages over HTTPS. This allows you to test pages that require a secure origin.

To enable HTTPS when you use TestCafe through the command line, specify the [--ssl](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--ssl-options) flag followed by the [HTTPS server options](https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_createserver_options_requestlistener). The most commonly used options are described in the [TLS topic](https://nodejs.org/api/tls.html#tls_tls_createsecurecontext_options) in the Node.js documentation.

```sh
testcafe --ssl pfx=path/to/file.pfx;rejectUnauthorized=true;...
```

When you use a programming API, pass the HTTPS server options to the [createTestCafe](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/createtestcafe.html) method.

```js
'use strict';

const createTestCafe        = require('testcafe');
const selfSignedSertificate = require('openssl-self-signed-certificate');
let runner                  = null;

const sslOptions = {
    key:  selfSignedSertificate.key,
    cert: selfSignedSertificate.cert
};

createTestCafe('localhost', 1337, 1338, sslOptions)
    .then(testcafe => {
        runner = testcafe.createRunner();
    })
    .then(() => {
        return runner
            .src('test.js')

            // Browsers restrict self-signed certificate usage unless you
            // explicitly set a flag specific to each browser.
            // For Chrome, this is '--allow-insecure-localhost'.
            .browsers('chrome --allow-insecure-localhost')
            .run();
    });
```

See [Connect to TestCafe Server over HTTPS](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/connect-to-the-testcafe-server-over-https.html) for more information.

#### :gear: Construct Screenshot Paths with Patterns ([#2152](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2152))

You can now use patterns to construct paths to screenshots. TestCafe provides a number of placeholders you can include in the path, for example, `${DATE}`, `${TIME}`, `${USERAGENT}`, etc. For a complete list, refer to the command line [--screenshot-path-pattern flag description](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#-p---screenshot-path-pattern).

You specify a screenshot path pattern when you run tests. Each time TestCafe takes a screenshot, it substitutes the placeholders with actual values and saves the screenshot to the resulting path.

The following example shows how to specify a screenshot path pattern through the command line:

```sh
testcafe all test.js -s screenshots -p '${DATE}_${TIME}/test-${TEST_INDEX}/${USERAGENT}/${FILE_INDEX}.png'
```

When you use a programming API, pass the screenshot path pattern to the [runner.screenshots method](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#screenshots).

```js
runner.screenshots('reports/screenshots/', true, '${TEST_INDEX}/${OS}/${BROWSER}-v${BROWSER_VERSION}/${FILE_INDEX}.png');
```

#### :gear: Add Info About Screenshots and Quarantine Attempts to Custom Reports ([#2216](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2216))

Custom reporters can now access screenshots' data and the history of quarantine attempts (if the test run in the quarantine mode).

The following information about screenshots is now available:

* the path to the screenshot file,
* the path to the thumbnail image,
* the browser's user agent,
* the quarantine attempt number (if the screenshot was taken in the quarantine mode),
* whether the screenshot was taken because the test failed.

If the test was run in the quarantine mode, you can also determine which attempts failed and passed.

Refer to the [reportTestDone method description](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/extending-testcafe/reporter-plugin/reporter-methods.html#reporttestdone) for details on how to access this information.

## v0.20.0 (2018-5-15)

### Request Hooks: Intercepting HTTP requests ([#1341](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1341))

TestCafe now allows you to record HTTP request data or mock responses. You can also create a custom HTTP request hook to emulate authentications like  **Kerberos** or **Client Certificate Authentication**.

See [Intercepting HTTP Requests](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/intercepting-http-requests) for more information.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Specifying resources accessed by bypassing a proxy server ([#1791](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1791))

TestCafe now allows you to bypass the proxy server when accessing specific resources.

To specify resources that require direct access, use the [--proxy-bypass](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--proxy-bypass-rules) flag in the command line or the [useProxy](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html) API method's parameters.

```sh
testcafe chrome my-tests/**/*.js --proxy proxy.corp.mycompany.com --proxy-bypass localhost:8080,internal-resource.corp.mycompany.com
```

```js
runner.useProxy('172.0.10.10:8080', ['localhost:8080', 'internal-resource.corp.mycompany.com']);
```

#### :gear: Specifying testing metadata ([#2242](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2242))

TestCafe allows you to specify additional information for tests in the form of key-value metadata and use it in reports.

You can define metadata for a fixture or a test using the [meta](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#specifying-testing-metadata) method:

```js
fixture `My Fixture`
    .meta('fixtureID', 'f-0001')
    .meta({ author: 'John', creationDate: '05/03/2018' });
```

```js
test
    .meta('testID', 't-0005')
    .meta({ severity: 'critical', testedAPIVersion: '1.0' })
    ('MyTest', async t => { /* ... */});
```

To include testing metadata to reports, use the [custom reporter methods](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/extending-testcafe/reporter-plugin/reporter-methods.html).

#### :gear: Passing a regular promise to `t.expect` is deprecated now ([#2207](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2207))

TestCafe now throws an error if you pass a regular promise to the assertion's `expect` method.

If you need to assert a regular promise, set the [allowUnawaitedPromise](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/assertions/#optionsallowunawaitedpromise) option to `true`.

```js
await t.expect(doSomethingAsync()).ok('check that a promise is returned', { allowUnawaitedPromise: true });
```

## v0.19.0 (2018-3-1)

### TestCafe Live: See instant feedback when working on tests ([#1624](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1624))

We have prepared a new tool for rapid test development.

TestCafe Live provides a service that keeps the TestCafe process and browsers opened while you are working on tests. Changes you make in code immediately restart the tests. That is, TestCafe Live allows you to see test results instantly.

[![TestCafe Live Video](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DevExpress/testcafe/master/media/changelog/testcafe-live-video.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWQtB6Xv01Q)

See [TestCafe Live](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-live) for more information.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Taking Screenshots of Individual Page Elements ([#1496](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1496))

We have added the [t.takeElementScreenshot](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/actions/take-screenshot.html#take-a-screenshot-of-a-page-element) action that allows you to take a screenshot of an individual page element.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

test('Take a screenshot of a fieldset', async t => {
    await t
        .click('#reusing-js-code')
        .click('#continuous-integration-embedding')
        .takeElementScreenshot(Selector('fieldset').nth(1), 'my-fixture/important-features.png');
});
```

This action provides additional customization that allows you to adjust the screenshot's center or crop it. Refer to the [documentation](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/actions/take-screenshot.html#take-a-screenshot-of-a-page-element) for more information.

Note that if the screenshot directory is not specified in the [runner.screenshots](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/programming-interface/runner.html#screenshots) API method or [screenshots](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#-s-path---screenshots-path) command line option, the `t.takeElementScreenshot` action is ignored.

#### :gear: Filtering Elements by Their Visibility ([#1018](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1018))

You can now filter the selector's matching set to display only visible or hidden elements using the [filterVisible](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors/functional-style-selectors.html#filtervisible) and [filterHidden](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors/functional-style-selectors.html#filterhidden) methods.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

test('Filter visible and hidden elements', async t => {
    const inputs        = Selector('input');
    const hiddenInput   = inputs.filterHidden();
    const visibleInputs = inputs.filterVisible();

    await t
        .expect(hiddenInput.count).eql(1)
        .expect(visibleInputs.count).eql(11);
});
```

#### :gear: Finding Elements by the Exact Matching Text ([#1292](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1292))

The current selector's [withText](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors/functional-style-selectors.html#withtext) method looks for elements whose text content *contains* the specified string. With this release, we have added the [withExactText](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors/functional-style-selectors.html#withexacttext) method that searches by *strict match*.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

test('Search by exact text', async t => {
    const labels       = Selector('label');
    const winLabel     = labels.withExactText('Windows');
    const reusingLabel = labels.withText('JavaScript');

    await t
        .expect(winLabel.exists).ok()
        .expect(reusingLabel.exists).ok();
});
```

#### :gear: Using Decorators in TypeScript Code ([#2117](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/2117)) by [@pietrovich](https://github.com/pietrovich)

TestCafe now allows you to use [decorators](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/decorators.html) when [writing tests in TypeScript](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/typescript-support.html).

Note that decorators are still an experimental feature in TypeScript.

## v0.18.5 (2017-11-23): Security Update

### Vulnerability Fix ([testcafe-legacy-api/#26](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-legacy-api/issues/26))

We have fixed a vulnerability related to the dependency on [uglify-js v1.x](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS). We used it in our [testcafe-legacy-api](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-legacy-api/) module that provides backward compatibility with older APIs from the paid TestCafe version.

This vulnerability affected only those who run tests created with the commercial version of TestCafe in the new open-source TestCafe.

## v0.18.4 (2017-11-17)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: WebSockets support ([testcafe-hammerhead/#911](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/911))

TestCafe provides full-featured WebSocket support (`wss` and `ws` protocols, request authentication, etc.).

### Bug Fixes

* You can click on elements under the Status bar and specify the `transition` css property ([#1934](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1934))

## v0.18.1 (2017-10-17): a recovery release following v0.18.0

### --reporter flag name fixed ([#1881](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1881))

In v0.18.0, we accidentally changed the [--reporter](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#-r-namefile---reporter-namefile) CLI flag to `--reporters`. In this recovery release, we roll back to the previous flag name.

### Compatibility with RequireJS restored ([#1874](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1874))

Changes in v0.18.0 made TestCafe incompatible with [RequireJS](http://requirejs.org). It is fixed in this recovery release.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

## v0.18.0 (2017-10-10)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Testing in headless Firefox

We have added support for [headless](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Headless_mode) testing in Firefox (version 56+) and Chrome.

```sh
testcafe firefox:headless tests/sample-fixture.js
```

```js
runner
    .src('tests/sample-fixture.js')
    .browsers('firefox:headless')
    .run()
    .then(failedCount => {
        // ...
    });
```

#### :gear: Outputting test results to multiple channels ([#1412](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1412))

You can now print a report in the console and saved it to a `.json` file by specifying multiple reporters when running tests.

```sh
testcafe all tests/sample-fixture.js -r spec,json:report.json
```

```js
const stream = fs.createWriteStream('report.json');

runner
    .src('tests/sample-fixture.js')
    .browsers('chrome')
    .reporter('spec')
    .reporter('json', stream)
    .run()
    .then(failedCount => {
        stream.end();
    });
```

#### :gear: Entering the debug mode when a test fails ([#1608](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1608))

TestCafe can now automatically switch to the debug mode when a test fails. Test execution is paused so that you can explore the tested page to determine the failure's cause.

To enable this behavior, use the `--debug-on-fail` flag in the command line or the `debugOnFail` option in the API.

```sh
testcafe chrome tests/fixture.js --debug-on-fail
```

```js
runner.run({ debugOnFail: true });
```

#### :gear: Interacting with the tested page in debug mode ([#1848](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1848))

When debugging your tests, you can now interact with the tested page. Click the **Unlock page** button in the page footer to enable interaction.

![Unlock page button](docs/articles/images/unlock-page-button.png)

Click **Resume** to continue running the test or click **Next Step** to skip to the next step.

#### :gear: Chrome and Firefox are opened with clean profiles by default ([#1623](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1623))

TestCafe now opens Chrome and Firefox with empty profiles to eliminate profile settings' and extensions' influence on tests.

However, you can **return to the previous behavior** using the `:userProfile` browser option.

```sh
testcafe firefox:userProfile tests/test.js
```

```js
runner
    .src('tests/fixture1.js')
    .browsers('firefox:userProfile')
    .run();
```

#### :gear: Customizable timeout to wait for the `window.load` event ([#1645](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1645))

Previously, TestCafe started a test when the `DOMContentLoaded` event was raised. However, there are many pages that execute initialization code on the `window.load` event (which is raised after `DOMContentLoaded` because it waits for all stylesheets, images and subframes to load). In this case, you need to wait for the `window.load` event to fire before running tests.

With this release, TestCafe waits `3` seconds for the `window.load` event.
We have also added a `pageLoadTimeout` setting that allows you to customize this interval.
You can set it to `0` to skip waiting for `window.load`.

The following examples show how to use the `pageLoadTimeout` setting from the command line and API:

```sh
testcafe chrome test.js --page-load-timeout 0
```

```js
runner.run({
    pageLoadTimeout: 0
});
```

You can also use the `setPageLoadTimeout` method in the test API to set the timeout for an individual test.

```js
fixture `Page load timeout`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

test(`Page load timeout`, async t => {
    await t
        .setPageLoadTimeout(0)
        .navigateTo('http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/');
});
```

#### :gear: Access messages output by the tested app to the browser console ([#1738](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1738))

You can now obtain messages that the tested app outputs to the browser console. This is useful if your application or the framework it uses posts errors, warnings or other informative messages to the console.

Use the `t.getBrowserConsoleMessages` method that returns the following object:

```js
{
    error: ["Cannot access the 'db' database. Wrong credentials.", '...'], // error messages
    warn: ['The setTimeout property is deprecated', '...'],                // warning messages
    log: ['[09:12:08] Logged in', '[09:25:43] Changes saved', '...'],      // log messages
    info: ['The application was updated since your last visit.', '...']    // info messages
}
```

Note that this method returns only messages posted via the `console.error`, `console.warn`, `console.log` and `console.info` methods. Messages the browser outputs (like when an unhandled exception occurs on the page) are not returned.

For instance, you can use React's typechecking feature, [PropTypes](https://reactjs.org/docs/typechecking-with-proptypes.html), to check that you assigned valid values to the component's props. If a `PropTypes` rule is violated, React posts an error to the JavaScript console.

The following example shows how to check the React prop types for errors using the `t.getBrowserConsoleMessages` method:

```js
// check-prop-types.js
import { t } from 'testcafe';

export default async function () {
    const { error } = await t.getBrowserConsoleMessages();

    await t.expect(error[0]).notOk();
}

// test.js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';
import checkPropTypes from './check-prop-types';

fixture `react example`
    .page `http://localhost:8080/`  // https://github.com/mzabriskie/react-example
    .afterEach(() => checkPropTypes());

test('test', async t => {
    await t
        .typeText(Selector('.form-control'), 'devexpress')
        .click(Selector('button').withText('Go'))
        .click(Selector('h4').withText('Organizations'));
});
```

#### :gear: Defining drag end point on the destination element ([#982](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/982))

The `t.dragToElement` action can now drop a dragged element at any point inside the destination element.
You can specify the target point using the `destinationOffsetX` and `destinationOffsetY` options.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

const fileIcon      = Selector('.file-icon');
const directoryPane = Selector('.directory');

fixture `My Fixture`
    .page `https://example.com/`;

test('My Test', async t => {
    await t
        .dragToElement(fileIcon, directoryPane, {
            offsetX: 10,
            offsetY: 10,
            destinationOffsetX: 100,
            destinationOffsetY: 50,
            modifiers: {
                shift: true
            }
        });
});
```

#### :gear: TestCafe exits gracefully when the process is interrupted ([#1378](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1378))

Previously, TestCafe left browsers open when you exited the process by pressing `Ctrl+C` in the terminal.
Now TestCafe exits gracefully closing all browsers opened for testing.

## v0.17.0 (2017-8-2)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Testing Electron applications ([testcafe-browser-provider-electron](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-browser-provider-electron))

We have created a browser provider that allows you to test Electron applications with TestCafe.

To do this, install the browser provider plugin from npm:

```sh
npm install testcafe-browser-provider-electron
```

Create a `.testcafe-electron-rc` file that contains the Electron plugin's configurations.
The only required setting here is `mainWindowUrl`. It is a URL (or path) to the main window page that relates to the application's directory.

```json
{
    "mainWindowUrl": "./index.html"
}
```

Place this file in the application root directory.

Next, install the Electron module.

```sh
npm install electron@latest
```

You can now run tests. Specify the `electron` browser name and the application path
when the test launches.

```sh
testcafe "electron:/home/user/electron-app" "path/to/test/file.js"
```

```js
testCafe
    .createRunner()
    .src('path/to/test/file.js')
    .browsers('electron:/home/user/electron-app')
    .run();
```

Nota that you can also test the Electron app's executable files. See the plugin [readme](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-browser-provider-electron) to learn more about the Electron browser provider.

#### :gear: Concurrent test execution ([#1165](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1165))

We have added concurrent test launch. This makes a test batch complete faster.

TestCafe launches one instance of each specified browser by default. Tests are run one by one in each of them.

Enable *concurrency* and TestCafe launches multiple instances of each browser. It distributes the test batch among them. The tests are run in parallel.

To enable concurrency, add `-c`in the command line or use the `runner.concurrency()` API method.
Specify the number of instances for each browser.

```js
testcafe -c 3 chrome tests/test.js
```

```js
var testRunPromise = runner
    .src('tests/test.js')
    .browsers('chrome')
    .concurrency(3)
    .run();
```

See [Concurrent Test Execution](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/concurrent-test-execution.html) for more details.

#### :gear: Further improvements in automatic waiting mechanism ([#1521](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1521))

We have enhanced the waiting mechanism behavior in certain scenarios which required `wait` actions.

#### :gear: User roles preserve the local storage ([#1454](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1454))

TestCafe now saves the local storage state when switching between roles. You get the same local storage content you left when you switch back.

This is useful for testing websites that perform authentication via local storage instead of cookies.

### Bug Fixes

* Selector's `withAttribute` method supports searching by strict match ([#1548](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1548]))
* Description for the `path` parameter of the `t.takeScreenshot` action has been corrected ([#1515](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1515))
* Local storage is now cleaned appropriately after the test run.([#1546](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1546))

* WebWorker content is now correctly proxied in FireFox 54. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1216](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1216))
* Code instrumentation for the `document.activeElement` property works properly if it is `null`. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1226](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1226))
* `length`, `item` and `namedItem` are no longer own properties of `LiveNodeListWrapper`. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1222](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1222))
* The `scope` option in the `serviceWorker.register` function is processed correctly. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1233](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1233))
* Promises from a fetch request are now processed correctly. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1234](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1234))
* Fix transpiling for the `for..of` loop to support browsers without `window.Iterator`. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1231](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1231))

## v0.16.2 (2017-6-27)

### Bug Fixes

* Typing text now raises the `onChange` event in latest React versions. ([#1558](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1558))
* Screenshots can now be taken when TestCafe runs from the Docker image. ([#1540](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1540))
* The native `value` property setters of `HTMLInputElement` and `HTMLTextAreaElement` prototypes are now saved. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1185](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1185))
* The `name` and `namedItem` methods of an `HTMLCollection` are now marked as non-enumerable. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1172](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1172))
* Code instrumentation of the `length` property runs faster. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#979](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/979))

## v0.16.1 (2017-6-21)

### Bug Fixes

* A typo in RoleOptions typedefs was fixed ([#1541](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1541))
* TestCafe no longer crashes on node 4 with an unmet dependency ([#1547](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1547))

* The `innerHtml` property is no longer processed for elements that don't have this property. ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1164](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1164))

## v0.16.0 (2017-6-13)

TypeScript support, seamless testing in headless Chrome and device emulator, and numerous bug fixes.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: TypeScript support ([#408](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/408))

In this release, we have added the capability to write tests in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/). By using TypeScript to write your TestCafe tests, you get the advantages of strongly-typed languages such as: rich coding assistance, painless scalability, check-as-you-type code verification, and much more.

TestCafe bundles TypeScript declaration file with the npm package, so you have no need to install any additional packages.

Just create a `.ts` file with the

<!-- Use `js` instead of `ts` for this code block for proper code highlighting -->

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';
```

and write your test.

For details, see [TypeScript Support](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/typescript-support.html)

#### :gear: Support running in Chrome in headless mode and in device emulator ([#1417](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1417))

Now TestCafe allows you to run your tests in Google Chrome in headless and device emulation modes.

[Headless mode](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/04/headless-chrome) allows you to run tests in Chrome without any visible UI shell. To run tests in headless mode, use the `:headless` postfix:

```sh
testcafe "chrome:headless" tests/sample-fixture.js
```

Device emulation mode allows you to check how your tests works on mobile devices via Chrome's built-in [device emulator](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/device-mode/). To run tests in device emulation mode, specify `emulation:` and [device parameters](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/browser-support.html#available-chrome-options):

```sh
testcafe "chrome:emulation:device=iphone 6" tests/sample-fixture.js
```

For details, see [Using Chrome-specific Features](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/browser-support.html#using-chrome-specific-features).

#### :gear: Support HTML5 Drag and Drop ([#897](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/897))

Starting with this release, TestCafe supports HTML5 drag and drop, so you can test elements with the `draggable` [attribute](http://w3c.github.io/html/editing.html#the-draggable-attribute).

#### :gear: Fixed URL for opening remote browsers ([#1476](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1476))

We have simplified the format of links that TestCafe generates when you [run tests on remote browsers](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/common-concepts/browser-support.html#browsers-on-remote-devices).

Now, you have no need to type a unique link for each test run, all the links became constant. So, it is easier now to run tests on a remote device repeatedly: you can run them by navigating a link from your browser history.

### Bug Fixes

* No TestCafe UI on screenshots created during testing ([#1357](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1357))
* `mouseenter` and `mouseleave` events are not triggered during cursor moving ([#1426](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1426))
* The runner's speed option affects the speed of `doubleClick` action ([#1486](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1486))
* Press action shortcuts work wrong if input's value ends with '.' or starts with '-.' ([#1499](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1499))
* A test report has too small line length on Travis ([#1469](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1469))
* Service messages with cookies do not have enough time to come to server before a new page is loaded ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1086](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1086))
* The `window.history.replaceState` function is overridden incorrectly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1146](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1146))
* Hammerhead crashes if a script file contains a sourcemap comment ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1052](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1052))
* The proxy should override the `DOMParser.parseFromString` method ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1133](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1133))
* The `fetch` method should emulate the native behaviour on merging headers ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1116](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1116))
* The `EventSource` requests are broken when used via proxy ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1106](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1106))
* The code processing may cause syntax errors in some cases because of wrong `location` property wrapping ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1101](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1101))
* When calling the `fetch` function without parameters, we should return its native result instead of `window.Promise.reject` ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1099](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1099))
* The `querySelector` function is overridden incorrectly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1131](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1131))

## v0.15.0 (2017-4-26)

Plugins for React and Vue.js, TestCafe Docker image, support for Internet access proxies and lots of bug fixes.

### Breaking Changes

#### New calls to selector's withText method no longer override previous calls

We have changed the way the [withText](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#withtext)
method behaves when it is called in a chain.

```js
const el = Selector('div').withText('This is').withText('my element');
```

In previous versions, this selector searched for a `div` with text `my element` because the second call to `withText` overrode the first one.

Now this code returns an element whose text contains both `This is` and `my element` as the second call compounds with the first one.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Plugin for testing React apps

In this release cycle, we have created a plugin for testing React applications.
This plugin allows you to select React components by their names.

```js
import ReactSelector from 'testcafe-react-selector';

const TodoList         = ReactSelector('TodoApp TodoList');
const itemsCountStatus = ReactSelector('TodoApp div');
const itemsCount       = ReactSelector('TodoApp div span');
```

And it enables you to get React component's `state` and `props`.

```js
import ReactSelector from 'testcafe-react-selector';

fixture `TODO list test`
    .page('http://localhost:1337');

test('Check list item', async t => {
    const el = ReactSelector('TodoList');

    await t.expect(el.getReact().props.priority).eql('High');
    await t.expect(el.getReact().state.isActive).eql(false);
});
```

To learn more, see the [testcafe-react-selectors](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-react-selectors/) repository.

#### :gear: Plugin for testing Vue.js apps

In addition to the React plugin, we have released a plugin that facilitates testing Vue.js applications.

In the same manner, it allows you to select Vue.js components with `VueSelector` selectors.

```js
import VueSelector from 'testcafe-vue-selectors';

const rootVue   = VueSelector();
const todoInput = VueSelector('todo-input');
const todoItem  = VueSelector('todo-list todo-item');
```

These selectors allow you to get Vue component's `props`, `state` and `computed` properties.

```js
import VueSelector from 'testcafe-vue-selector';

fixture `TODO list test`
    .page('http://localhost:1337');

test('Check list item', async t => {
    const todoItem = VueSelector('todo-item');

    await t
        .expect(todoItem.getVue().props.priority).eql('High')
        .expect(todoItem.getVue().state.isActive).eql(false)
        .expect(todoItem.getVue().computed.text).eql('Item 1');
});
```

To learn more, see the [testcafe-vue-selectors](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-vue-selectors) repository.

#### :gear: TestCafe Docker image ([#1141](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1141))

We have created a Docker image with TestCafe, Chromium and Firefox preinstalled.

You no longer need to manually install browsers or the testing framework on your server.
Pull the Docker image from the repository and run TestCafe immediately.

```sh
docker pull testcafe/testcafe
docker run -v //user/tests:/tests -it testcafe/testcafe firefox tests/**/*.js
```

To learn more, see [Using TestCafe Docker Image](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/installing-testcafe.html#using-testcafe-docker-image)

#### :gear: Support for Internet access proxies ([#1206](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1206))

If your local network uses a proxy server to access the Internet, TestCafe can use it reach the external webpages.

To specify the proxy server, use a command line option

```sh
testcafe chrome my-tests/**/*.js --proxy 172.0.10.10:8080
```

or a method in the API.

```js
runner.useProxy('username:password@proxy.mycorp.com');
```

Note that you can pass the credentials with the proxy server host.

#### :gear: Debugging mode option ([#1347](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1347))

As an alternative to calling the [t.debug](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/debugging.html#client-side-debugging) method
in test code, you can now specify the `--debug-mode` command line option to pause the test before the first action or assertion.
When the test is paused, you can debug in the browser developer tools as well as continue test execution step by step.

```sh
testcafe chrome my-tests/**/*.js --debug-mode
```

If you use TestCafe API, provide the `debugMode` option to the `runner.run` method.

```js
runner.run({ debugMode: true });
```

#### :gear: Filtering selector's matching set by attribute ([#1346](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1346))

You can now use the `withAttribute` method to select elements that have a particular attribute set to a specific value.
You can omit the attribute value to select elements that simply have the specified attribute.

```js
const el = Selector('div').withAttribute('attributeName', 'value').nth(2);
```

#### :gear: hasAttribute method added to DOM node state ([#1045](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1045))

For you convenience, the DOM node state object now provides the `hasAttribute` method that allows you to determine if an element has a particular attribute.

```js
const el = Selector('div.button');

t.expect(el.hasAttribute('disabled')).ok();
```

#### :gear: Redirection when switching between roles ([#1339](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1339))

[User roles](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/authentication/user-roles.html) now provide a `preserveUrl` option
that allows you to save the webpage URL to which the browser was redirected after logging in. If you enable this option when creating a role,
the browser will be redirected to the saved URL every time you switch to this role.

```js
const regularUser = Role(url, async t => {
    /* authentication code */
}, { preserveUrl: true })
```

### Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug where incorrect call site and callstack were generated for an assertion that failed in a class method ([#1267](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1267))
* Incorrect validation result no longer appears when a test controller is used inside an async function ([#1285](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1285))
* Click on the status panel no longer affects the page state ([#1389](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1389))
* The `input` event is now raised with a correct selection value when input value was changed ([#1388](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1388))
* Inline source maps are now placed in transpiled files so that breakpoints work correctly ([#1375](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1375))
* `value` and `selectedIndex` in the `input` event handler for the dropdown element are now valid ([#1366](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1366))
* A `presskey('enter')` call now raises the `click` event on a button element ([#1424](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1424))
* The cursor position in Monaco editor is now set correctly on the click action ([#1385](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1385))
* `hasScroll` now works correctly if the `body` has absolute positioning ([#1353](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1353))
* Text can now be typed into HTML5 input elements ([#1327](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1327))
* `focusin` and `focusout` events are now raised when the browser window is in the background ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1044](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1044))
* `caretPositionFromPoint` and `caretRangeFromPoint` now ignore TestCafe UI elements on the page ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1084](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1084))
* Images created with the `Image` constructor are now loaded through the proxy ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1087](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1087))
* The `innerText` return value is now clear of script and style code ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1079](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1079))
* Non-string values for element's text properties are now converted to `String` ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1091](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1091))
* SVG elements are now processed correctly in IE ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1083](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1083))

## v0.14.0 (2017-3-28)

Authentication via user roles, client-side debugging and numerous bug fixes.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Authentication via user roles ([#243](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/243))

Many test scenarios involve the activity of more than one user. TestCafe addresses these scenarios by providing a convenient way
to isolate authentication test actions and apply them easily whenever you need to switch the user account.

A piece of logic that logs in a particular user is called a *role*. It is a good practice to create a role for each user account participating in your test.

Create roles via the `Role` constructor. You can keep them in a separate helper file.

*helper.js*

```js
import { Role } from 'testcafe';

export var regularAccUser = Role('http://example.com/login', async t => {
    await t
        .typeText('#login', 'TestUser')
        .typeText('#password', 'testpass')
        .click('#sign-in');
});

export var facebookAccUser = Role('http://example.com/login', async t => {
    await t
        .click('#sign-in-with-facebook')
        .typeText('#email', 'testuser@mycompany.com')
        .typeText('#pass', 'testpass')
        .click('#submit');
});

export var admin = Role('http://example.com/login', async t => {
    await t
        .typeText('#login', 'Admin')
        .typeText('#password', 'adminpass')
        .click('#sign-in');
});
```

In test code, use the `t.useRole` method to switch between roles.

*test.js*

```js
import { regularAccUser, admin } from './helper';
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

const entry        = Selector('#entry');
const removeButton = Selector('#remove-entry');

fixture `My Fixture`
    .page `http://example.com`;

test('test that involves two users', async t => {
    await t
        .useRole(regularAccUser)
        .expect(entry.exists).ok()
        .expect(removeButton.visible).notOk()
        .useRole(admin)
        .expect(removeButton.visible).ok()
        .click(removeButton)
        .expect(entry.exists).notOk()
});
```

To learn more, see [User Roles](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/authentication/user-roles.html).

#### :gear: BrowserStack support

We have released the [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com/) browser provider [plugin](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-browser-provider-browserstack).

Install this plugin from `npm`.

```sh
npm install testcafe-browser-provider-browserstack
```

And save the BrowserStack username and access key to environment variables `BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME` and `BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY`.

Now you can run tests on any virtual machine available on BrowserStack.

```sh
testcafe "browserstack:Chrome@53.0:Windows 10" "path/to/test/file.js"
```

#### :gear: Client-side debugging ([#918](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/918))

We have added a new `t.debug` method to debug test behavior on the client.

When test execution reaches `t.debug`, it pauses so that you can open browser's developer tools
and check the web page state, DOM elements location, their CSS styles.

```js
fixture `My fixture`
    .page `https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example`;

test('My test', async t => {
    await t
        .debug()
        .setNativeDialogHandler(() => true)
        .click('#populate')
        .click('#submit-button');
});
```

In the footer, you'll find buttons that allow you to continue test execution or step to the next test action.

![Page Footer in the Debug Mode](media/client-debugging-footer.png)

TestCafe logs points in code where the debugger stopped.

![Logging Debugger Breakpoints](media/log-debugger.png)

#### :gear: Testing local webpages ([#1286](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1286))

You can now run tests against local webpages. To do this, specify a URL with the `file://` scheme or a relative path when calling the [page](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#specifying-the-start-webpage) function.

```js
fixture `MyFixture`
    .page `file:///user/my-website/index.html`;
```

```js
fixture `MyFixture`
    .page `../my-project/index.html`;
```

You can also navigate to local pages with the [t.navigateTo](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/actions/navigate.html) action.

```js
fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://www.example.com/`;

test('Navigate to local pages', async t => {
    await t
        .navigateTo('file:///user/my-website/index.html')
        .navigateTo('../my-project/index.html');
});
```

#### :gear: Adding custom methods to the selector ([#1212](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1212))

You can now extend selectors with custom methods executed on the client. Use the [addCustomMethods](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#custom-methods) method to provide custom methods.

```js
const myTable = Selector('.my-table').addCustomMethods({
    getCellText: (table, rowIndex, columnIndex) =>
        table.rows[rowIndex].cells[columnIndex].innerText
});

await t.expect(myTable.getCellText(1, 1)).contains('hey!');
```

Use this feature to build selectors that reflect the specifics of your web app.

#### :gear: Removing the native dialog handler ([#243](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/243))

We have added the capability to remove a [native dialog handler](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/handling-native-dialogs.html) by passing `null` to the `t.setNativeDialogHandler` method.

```js
fixture `My fixture`
    .page `https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example`;

test('My test', async t => {
    await t
        .setNativeDialogHandler(() => true)
        .click('#populate')
        .setNativeDialogHandler(null)
        .click('#submit-button');
});
```

### Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug that led to an incorrect callstack in test run report ([#1226](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1226))
* Cursor is now hidden on screenshots created using the `t.takeScreenshot` action ([#1245](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1245))
* Error no longer appears when selecting a non-existent child by index ([#1240](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1240))
* The blur event is now raised on time when an input is hidden in IE ([#1275](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1275))
* TestCafe no longer fails if a client function argument contains ES6 class method syntax ([#1279](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1279))
* TestCafe now reports errors that occur during browser provider initialization ([#1282](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1282))
* Click on the debugger panel no longer affects the tested page ([#1200](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1200))
* An unhandled error no longer occurs when running a fixture without tests ([#1302](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1302))
* The `input` event is now raised when the value of a `select` element is changed ([#1311](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1311))
* You can now perform actions with ShadowDOM elements ([#1312](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1312))
* Server no longer responds with status 222 when window.fetch() is called in Chrome ([#1134](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1134))
* The JSON reporter no longer returns `screenshotPath: null` if a screenshot path is not specified ([#1269](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1269))
* The `navigateTo` action no longer fails silently with schemes like `http*string*://` ([#965](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/965))
* The SVG `use` tag is no longer broken when the parent page has a `file://` URL ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1051](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1051))
* Fixed a bug where `toString` was used instead of `instanceToString` from DOM utils ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1055](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1055))
* File download is no longer raised if the resource is fetched by setting the script src ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1062](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1062))
* Fixed wrong CORS emulation for `fetch` requests ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1059](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1059))
* `Navigator.sendBeacon` function is now overridden ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1035](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1035))

## v0.13.0 (2017-2-16)

IDE plugins, fixture hooks, `speed` option for test actions, a couple of API enhancements and lots of bug fixes.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: IDE Plugins

With this release, we have prepared test runner plugins for
[VSCode](https://github.com/romanresh/vscode-testcafe) and [SublimeText](https://github.com/churkin/testcafe-sublimetext).
These plugins allow you to

* Run a particular test, fixture, all tests in a file or directory via the context menu or built-in commands,
* Automatically detect browsers installed on the local machine,
* Repeat last test run,
* Debug tests,
* View test results in the `Debug Console` panel.

#### :gear: Fixture hooks ([#903](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/903))

You can now specify fixture hooks that will be executed before the first test in a fixture is started and after the last test is finished.

```js
fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://example.com`
    .before( async ctx => {
        /* fixture initialization code */
    })
    .after( async ctx => {
        /* fixture finalization code */
    });
```

Unlike test hooks, fixture hooks are executed between test runs and do not have access to the tested page.
Use them to perform server-side operations like preparing the server that hosts the tested app.

##### Sharing variables between fixture hooks and test code

Use the `ctx` parameter passed to `fixture.before` and `fixture.after` methods (*fixture context*) to share values and objects with test code.
You can assign to `ctx` parameter's properties or add new properties.

In test code, use the `t.fixtureCtx` property to access the fixture context.

```js
fixture `Fixture1`
    .before(async ctx  => {
        ctx.someProp = 123;
    })
    .after(async ctx  => {
        console.log(ctx.newProp); // > abc
    });

test('Test1', async t => {
    console.log(t.fixtureCtx.someProp); // > 123
});

test('Test2', async t => {
    t.fixtureCtx.newProp = 'abc';
});
```

#### :gear: Speed option for test actions ([#865](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/865))

You can now specify speed for individual test actions using the `speed` option.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

const nameInput = Selector('#developer-name');

fixture `My Fixture`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`

test('My Test', async t => {
    await t
        .typeText(nameInput, 'Peter')
        .typeText(nameInput, ' Parker', { speed: 0.1 });
});
```

If speed is also specified for the whole test, the action speed setting overrides test speed.

#### :gear: Setting test speed from test code ([#865](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/865))

You can now specify test speed from code using the `t.setTestSpeed` method.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

fixture `Test Speed`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

const nameInput = Selector('#developer-name');

test(`Test Speed`, async t => {
    await t
        .typeText(nameInput, 'Peter')
        .setTestSpeed(0.1)
        .typeText(nameInput, ' Parker');
});
```

#### :gear: Using test controller outside of test code ([#1166](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1166))

You may sometimes need to call test API from outside of test code. For instance, your [page model](../recipes/using-page-model.md)
can contain methods that perform common operations used in many tests, like authentication.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

export default class Page {
    constructor () {
        this.loginInput    = Selector('#login');
        this.passwordInput = Selector('#password');
        this.signInButton  = Selector('#sign-in-button');
    }
    async login (t) {
        await t
            .typeText(this.loginInput, 'MyLogin')
            .typeText(this.passwordInput, 'Pa$$word')
            .click(this.signInButton);
    }
}
```

In this instance, you need to access the test controller from the page model's `login` method.

TestCafe allows you to avoid passing the test controller to the method explicitly.
Instead, you can simply import `t` to the page model file.

```js
import { Selector, t } from 'testcafe';

export default class Page {
    constructor () {
        this.loginInput    = Selector('#login');
        this.passwordInput = Selector('#password');
        this.signInButton  = Selector('#sign-in-button');
    }
    async login () {
        await t
            .typeText(this.loginInput, 'MyLogin')
            .typeText(this.passwordInput, 'Pa$$word')
            .click(this.signInButton);
    }
}
```

TestCafe will implicitly resolve test context and provide the right test controller.

#### :gear: Inserting text with one keystroke with t.typeText action (by [@ericyd](https://github.com/ericyd)) ([#1230](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1230))

The new `paste` option allows you to insert a portion of text with one keystroke, similar to the paste operation.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

const nameInput = Selector('#developer-name');

test(`My test`, async t => {
    await t
        .typeText(nameInput, 'Peter')
        .typeText(nameInput, ' Parker', { paste: true });
});
```

#### :gear: prevSibling and nextSibling selector's DOM search methods ([#1218](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1218))

The new `prevSibling` and `nextSibling` methods allow you to search among sibling elements that reside before and after the selector's matching elements in the DOM tree.

```js
Selector('li .active').prevSibling(2);
Selector('li').nextSibling('.checked');
```

#### :gear: Deprecated functionality removed ([#1167](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1167))

The following deprecated members have been removed from the API.

* `t.select` method - use `Selector` instead:

```js
const id = await t.select('.someClass').id;

// can be replaced with

const id = await Selector('.someClass').id;
```

* `selectorOptions.index` - use [selector.nth()](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#nth) instead.
* `selectorOptions.text` - use [selector.withText()](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#withtext) instead.
* `selectorOptions.dependencies` - use [filtering](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#filter-dom-nodes) and [hierarchical](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#search-for-elements-in-the-dom-hierarchy) methods to build combined selectors instead.

### Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug where tests failed with a script error ([#1188](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1188))
* Text can now be typed to an input field with type "email" in Firefox ([#1187](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1187))
* `npm install` no longer displays warnings ([#769](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/769))
* Dev Tools can now be opened with a keyboard shortcut or right click on macOS ([#1193](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1193))
* A warning no longer appears when using ClientFunction with dependencies ([#1168](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1168))
* Tests can now run against React Storybook ([#1147](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1147))
* Script error is no longer thrown in iOS webviews (Firefox, Chrome of iOS) ([#1189](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1189))
* XhrSandbox.createNativeXHR now works correctly ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1042](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1042))
* Window.prototype is no longer used for NativeMethods initialization ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1040](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1040))
* Functions from the 'vm' module are now overridden on the client ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1029](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1029))
* Input type is now changed while setting the selection range in Firefox ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1025](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1025))
* An iframe with the `about:blank` src can now send `postMessage` ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1026](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1026))
* The `formaction` attribute is now overridden correctly after it is appended in DOM ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1021](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1021))
* Fixed a bug where the Authorization Header was wrongly removed ([testcafe-hammerhead/#1016](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/1016))

## v0.12.1 (2017-1-20)

:racing_car: A recovery release following [v0.12.0](#v0120-2017-1-19) with an important fix. :racing_car:

### Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug when the cursor was not visible while running tests ([#1156](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1156)).

## v0.12.0 (2017-1-19)

HTTP authentication support, a CI-friendly way to start and stop the tested app and lots of API enhancements.

### Enhancements

#### :gear: HTTP authentication support ([#955](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/955), [#1109](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1109))

TestCafe now supports testing webpages protected with HTTP Basic and NTLM authentication.

Use the [httpAuth](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/http-authentication.html) function in fixture or test declaration to specify the credentials.

```js
fixture `My fixture`
    .page `http://example.com`
    .httpAuth({
        username: 'username',
        password: 'Pa$$word',

        // Optional parameters, can be required for the NTLM authentication.
        domain:      'CORP-DOMAIN',
        workstation: 'machine-win10'
    });

test('Test1', async t => {});          // Logs in as username

test                                   // Logs in as differentUserName
    .httpAuth({
        username: 'differentUserName',
        password: 'differentPa$$word'
    })
    ('Test2', async t => {});
```

#### :gear: Built-in CI-friendly way to start and stop the tested web app ([#1047](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1047))

When launching tests, you can now specify a command that starts the tested application.
TestCafe will automatically execute this command before running tests and stop the process when tests are finished.

```sh
testcafe chrome tests/ --app "node server.js"
```

```js
runner
    .startApp('node server.js')
    .run();
```

You can also specify how long TestCafe should wait until the tested application initializes (the default is 1 sec).

```sh
testcafe chrome tests/ --app "node server.js" --app-init-delay 4000
```

```js
runner
    .startApp('node server.js', 4000)
    .run();
```

#### :gear: Screenshot and window resize actions now work on Linux ([#1117](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1117))

The `t.takeScreenshot`, `t.resizeWindow`, `t.resizeWindowToFitDevice` and `t.maximizeWindow` actions can now be executed on Linux machines.

#### :gear: Adding custom properties to the element state ([#749](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/749))

The state of webpage elements can now be extended with custom properties.

We have added the [addCustomDOMProperties](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#adding-custom-properties-to-element-state)
method to the selector, so that you can add properties to the element state like in the following example.

```js
import { Selector } from 'testcafe'

fixture `My fixture`
    .page `https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example/`;

test('Check Label HTML', async t => {
    const label = Selector('label').addCustomDOMProperties({
        innerHTML: el => el.innerHTML
    });

    await t.expect(label.innerHTML).contains('input type="checkbox" name="remote"');
});
```

#### :gear: Skipping tests ([#246](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/246))

TestCafe now allows you to specify that a particular test or fixture should be skipped when running tests.
Use the `fixture.skip` and `test.skip` methods for this.

```js
fixture.skip `Fixture1`; // All tests in this fixture will be skipped

test('Fixture1Test1', () => {});
test('Fixture1Test2', () => {});

fixture `Fixture2`;

test('Fixture2Test1', () => {});
test.skip('Fixture2Test2', () => {}); // This test will be skipped
test('Fixture2Test3', () => {});
```

You can also use the `only` method to specify that only a particular test or fixture should run while all others should be skipped.

```js
fixture.only `Fixture1`;
test('Fixture1Test1', () => {});
test('Fixture1Test2', () => {});

fixture `Fixture2`;
test('Fixture2Test1', () => {});
test.only('Fixture2Test2', () => {});
test('Fixture2Test3', () => {});

// Only tests in Fixture1 and the Fixture2Test2 test will run
```

#### :gear: Specifying the start webpage for a test ([#501](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/501))

An individual test can now override the fixture's `page` setting and start on a different page.

 ```js
 fixture `MyFixture`
     .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example`;

 test('Test1', async t => {
     // Starts at http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/example
 });

 test
     .page `http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/blog/`
     ('Test2', async t => {
         // Starts at http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/blog/
     });
 ```

#### :gear: Initialization and finalization methods for a test ([#1108](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1108))

We have added the [before](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#initialization-and-clean-up)
and [after](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/test-code-structure.html#initialization-and-clean-up) methods to the test declaration.
Use them to provide code that will be executed before a test is started and after it is finished.

```js
test
    .before( async t => {
        /* test initialization code */
    })
    ('My Test', async t => {
        /* test code */
    })
    .after( async t => {
        /* test finalization code */
    });
```

#### :gear: Sharing variables between hooks and test code ([#841](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/841))

You can now share variables between `fixture.beforeEach`, `fixture.afterEach`, `test.before`, `test.after` functions and test code
by using the *test context* object.

Test context is available through the `t.ctx` property.

Instead of using a global variable, assign the object you want to share directly to `t.ctx` or create a property like in the following example.

```js
fixture `Fixture1`
    .beforeEach(async t  => {
        t.ctx.someProp = 123;
    });

test
    ('Test1', async t => {
        console.log(t.ctx.someProp); // > 123
    })
    .after(async t => {
        console.log(t.ctx.someProp); // > 123
    });
```

#### :gear: Assertion methods to check for regexp match ([#1038](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1038))

We have added `match` and `notMatch` methods to check if a string matches a particular regular expression.

```js
await t.expect('foobar').match(/^f/, 'this assertion passes');
```

```js
await t.expect('foobar').notMatch(/^b/, 'this assertion passes');
```

#### :gear: Improved filtering by predicates in selectors ([#1025](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1025) and [#1065](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1065))

Selector's filter predicates now receive more information about the current node, which enables you to implement more advanced filtering logic.

The `filter`, `find`, `parent`, `child` and `sibling` methods now pass the node's index to the predicate.
The `find`, `parent`, `child` and `sibling` methods now also pass a node from the preceding selector.

```js
Selector('ul').find((node, idx, originNode) => {
    // node === the <ul>'s descendant node
    // idx === index of the current <ul>'s descendant node
    // originNode === the <ul> element
});
```

In addition, all these methods now allow you to pass objects to the predicate's scope on the client. To this end, we have added
an optional `dependencies` parameter.

```js
const isNodeOk = ClientFunction(node => { /*...*/ });
const flag = getFlag();

Selector('ul').child(node => {
    return isNodeOk(node) && flag;
}, { isNodeOk, flag });
```

#### :gear: Filtering by negative index in selectors ([#738](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/738))

You can now pass negative `index` values to selector methods. In this instance, index is counted from the end of the matching set.

```js
const lastChild = Selector('.someClass').child(-1);
```

#### :gear: Improved cursor positioning in test actions ([#981](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/981))

In action options, X and Y offsets that define the point where action is performed can now be negative.
In this instance, the cursor position is calculated from the bottom-right corner of the target element.

```js
await t.click('#element', { offsetX: -10, offsetY: -30 });
```

#### :gear: Client functions as an assertion's actual value ([#1009](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1009))

You can now pass client functions to assertion's `expect` method. In this instance, the
[Smart Assertion Query Mechanism](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/assertions/#smart-assertion-query-mechanism)
will run this client function and use the return value as the assertion's actual value.

```js
import { ClientFunction } from 'testcafe';

const windowLocation = ClientFunction(() => window.location.toString());

fixture `My Fixture`
    .page `http://www.example.com`;

test('My Test', async t => {
    await t.expect(windowLocation()).eql('http://www.example.com');
});
```

#### :gear: Automatic waiting for scripts added during a test action ([#1072](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1072))

If a test action adds scripts on a page, TestCafe now automatically waits for them to finish before proceeding to the next test action.

#### :gear: New ESLint plugin ([#1083](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/1083))

We have prepared an [ESLint plugin](https://github.com/miherlosev/eslint-plugin-testcafe).
Get it to ensure that ESLint does not fail on TestCafe test code.

## v0.11.0 (2016-12-8)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Redesigned selector system. ([#798](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/798))

##### New selector methods

Multiple [filtering](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#filter-multiple-dom-nodes) and [hierarchical](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#find-elements-by-dom-hierarchy) methods were introduced for selectors.
Now you can build flexible, lazily-evaluated functional-style selector chains.

*Here are some examples:*

```js
Selector('ul').find('label').parent('div.someClass')
```

Finds all `ul` elements on page. Then, in each found `ul` element finds `label` elements.
Then, for each `label` element finds a parent that matches the `div.someClass` selector.

------

Like in jQuery, if you request a [property](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/dom-node-state.html#members-common-across-all-nodes) of the matching set or try evaluate
a [snapshot](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#dom-node-snapshot), the selector returns values for the first element in the set.

```js
// Returns id of the first element in the set
const id = await Selector('ul').find('label').parent('div.someClass').id;

// Returns snapshot for the first element in the set
const snapshot = await Selector('ul').find('label').parent('div.someClass')();
```

------

However, you can obtain data for any element in the set by using `nth` filter.

```js
// Returns id of the third element in the set
const id = await Selector('ul').find('label').parent('div.someClass').nth(2).id;

// Returns snapshot for the fourth element in the set
const snapshot = await Selector('ul').find('label').parent('div.someClass').nth(4)();
```

------

Note that you can add text and index filters in the selector chain.

```js
Selector('.container').parent(1).nth(0).find('.content').withText('yo!').child('span');
```

In this example the selector:

1. finds the second parent (parent of parent) of `.container` elements;
2. peeks the first element in the matching set;
3. in that element, finds elements that match the `.content` selector;
4. filters them by text `yo!`;
5. in each filtered element, searches for a child with tag name `span`.

------

##### Getting selector matching set length

Also, now you can get selector matching set length and check matching elements existence by using selector [`count` and `exists` properties](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#get-selector-matching-set-length).

##### Unawaited parametrized selector calls now allowed outside test context

Previously selector call outside of text context thrown an error:

```js
const selector = Selector(arg => /* selector code */);

selector('someArg'); // <-- throws

test ('Some test', async t=> {
...
});
```

Now it's not a case if selector is not awaited. It's useful when you need to build a page model outside the test context:

```js
const selector = Selector(arg => /* selector code */);
const selector2 = selector('someArg').find('span'); // <-- doesn't throw anymore

test ('Some test', async t=> {
...
});
```

However, once you'll try to obtain element property outside of test context it will throw:

```js
const selector = Selector(arg => /* selector code */);

async getId() {
  return await selector('someArg').id; // throws
}

getId();

test ('Some test', async t=> {
...
});
```

##### Index filter is not ignored anymore if selector returns single node

Previously if selector returned single node `index` was ignored:

```js
Selector('#someId', { index: 2 } ); // index is ignored and selector returns element with id `someId`
```

however it's not a case now:

```js
Selector('#someId').nth(2); // returns `null`, since there is only one element in matching set with id `someId`
```

##### Deprecated API

* [`t.select` method](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#one-time-selection) - use `Selector` instead:

```js
const id = await t.select('.someClass').id;

// can be replaced with

const id = await Selector('.someClass').id;
```

* [selectorOptions.index](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selector-options.html#optionsindex) - use [selector.nth()](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#nth) instead.
* [selectorOptions.text](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selector-options.html#optionstext) - use [selector.withText()](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#withtext) instead.
* [selectorOptions.dependencies](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selector-options.html#optionsdependencies) - use [filtering](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#filter-multiple-dom-nodes) and [hierarchical](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#find-elements-by-dom-hierarchy) methods to build combined selectors instead.

#### :gear: Built-in assertions. ([#998](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/998))

TestCafe now ships with [numerous built-in BDD-style assertions](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/assertions/assertion-api.html).
If the TestCafe assertion receives a [Selector's property](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/dom-node-state.html#members-common-across-all-nodes) as an actual value, TestCafe uses the [smart assertion query mechanism](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/assertions/index.html#smart-assertion-query-mechanism):
if an assertion did not passed, the test does not fail immediately. The assertion retries to pass multiple times and each time it re-requests the actual shorthand value. The test fails if the assertion could not complete successfully within a timeout.
This approach allows you to create stable tests that lack random errors and decrease the amount of time required to run all your tests due to the lack of extra waitings.

*Example page markup:*

```html
<div id="btn"></div>
<script>
var btn = document.getElementById('btn');

btn.addEventListener(function() {
    window.setTimeout(function() {
        btn.innerText = 'Loading...';
    }, 100);
});
</script>
```

*Example test code:*

```js
test('Button click', async t => {
    const btn = Selector('#btn');

    await t
        .click(btn)
        // Regular assertion will fail immediately, but TestCafe retries to run DOM state
        // assertions many times until this assertion pass successfully within the timeout.
        // The default timeout is 3000 ms.
        .expect(btn.textContent).contains('Loading...');
});
```

#### :gear: Added [`selected` and `selectedIndex` DOM node state properties](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/dom-node-state.html#members-common-across-all-nodes). ([#951](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/951))

#### :gear: It's now possible to start browser with arguments. ([#905](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/905))

If you need to pass arguments for the specified browser, write them right after browser alias. Surround the browser call and its arguments with quotation marks:

```sh
testcafe "chrome --start-fullscreen",firefox tests/test.js
```

See [Starting browser with arguments](https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#starting-browser-with-arguments).

### Bug Fixes

* Actions now scroll to element to make it completely visible (there possible) ([#987](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/987), [#973](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/973)).
* Dispatched key events now successfully pass `instanceof` check ([#964](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/964)).
* Ember elements doesn't throw `Uncaught TypeError: e.getAttribute is not a function` anymore ([#966](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/966)).
* First run wizards now automatically disabled in Chrome in Firefox ([testcafe-browser-tools#102](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-browser-tools/issues/102)).
* `<td>` now correctly focused on actions ([testcafe-hammerhead#901](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/901)).
* `document.baseURI` now returns correct value ([testcafe-hammerhead#920](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/920)).
* `Function.constructor` now returns correct value ([testcafe-hammerhead#913](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/913)).
* Setting `location` to the URL hash value doesn't lead to JavaScript error anymore ([testcafe-hammerhead#917](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/917)).
* Fixed corruption of `<template>` content ([testcafe-hammerhead#912](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/912)).
* Fixed `querySelector` for `href` attribute if value contains URL hash ([testcafe-hammerhead#922](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/922)).
* HTTP responses with [Brotli](https://github.com/google/brotli) encoding now processed correctly ([testcafe-hammerhead#900](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/900)).
* `Element.attributes` now behaves as a live collection ([testcafe-hammerhead#924](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/924)).
* TestCafe doesn't fail with `Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.` error on network errors ([testcafe-hammerhead#937](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/937)).
* Element property value setters now return correct value ([testcafe-hammerhead#907](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/907)).
* `window.fetch` without parameters now returns rejected promise as expected ([testcafe-hammerhead#939](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-hammerhead/issues/939)).

## v0.10.0 (2016-11-8)

### Enhancements

#### :gear: Snapshot API shorthands. ([#771](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/771))

  Previously, if you needed to use a single property from the snapshot, you had to introduce two assignments

  ```js
  const snapshot = await selector();
  const nodeType = snapshot.nodeType;
  ```

  or additional parentheses.

  ```js
  const nodeType = (await selector()).nodeType;
  ```

  Now snapshot methods and property getters are exposed by selectors
  (and selector promises as well) so that you can write more compact code.

  ```js
  const nodeType = await selector.nodeType;

  // or

  const nodeType = await selector('someParam').nodeType;
  ```

  However, shorthand properties do not allow you to omit parentheses when working with dictionary properties
  like `style`, `attributes` or `boundingClientRect`.

  ```js
  const width = (await selector.style)['width'];
  ```

  That is why we have also introduced shorthand methods for these dictionaries: `getStyleProperty`, `getAttribute` and `getBoundingClientRectProperty`.

  ```js
  const width = await selector.getStyleProperty('width');
  const id    = await selector.getAttribute('id');
  const left  = await selector.getBoundingClientRectProperty('left');
  ```

  Finally, we have added the `hasClass` method.

  ```js
  if (await selector.hasClass('foo')) {
      //...
  }
  ```

  See [Snapshot API Shorthands](http://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/test-api/selecting-page-elements/selectors.html#obtain-element-state).

#### :gear: Improved automatic wait mechanism. ([#245](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/245))

  We got rid of unnecessary waiting so that tests now run almost two times faster.

  ![Tests running in v0.10.0 vs v0.9.0](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DevExpress/testcafe/master/media/new-0-10-0-autowait.gif)

#### :gear: Test execution speed control. ([#938](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/938))

  We have introduced an option that allows you to specify how fast tests run.

  By default, tests run at the maximum speed. However, if you need to watch a test running to understand what happens in it,
  this speed may seem too fast. In this instance, use the new `speed` option to slow the test down.

  This option is available from the command line

  ```sh
  testcafe chrome my-tests --speed 0.1
  ```

  and from the API.

  ```js
  await runner.run({
      speed: 0.1
  })
  ```

  You can use factor values between `1` (the fastest, used by default) and `0.01` (the slowest).

#### :gear: `t.maximizeWindow` test action. ([#812](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/812))

  We have added a test action that maximizes the browser window.

  ```js
  import { expect } from 'chai';
  import { Selector } from 'testcafe';

  const menu = Selector('#side-menu');

  fixture `My fixture`
      .page `http://www.example.com/`;

  test('Side menu is displayed in full screen', async t => {
      await t.maximizeWindow();

      expect(await menu.visible).to.be.ok;
  });
  ```

### Bug Fixes

* The `t.resizeWindow` and `t.resizeWindowToFitDevice` actions now work correctly on macOS ([#816](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/816))
* Browser aliases are now case insensitive in the command line ([#890](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/890))
* Tests no longer hang if target scrolling coordinates are fractional ([#882](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/882))
* The 'Element is not visible' error is no longer raised when scrolling a document in Quirks mode ([#883](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/883))
* `<table>` child elements are now focused correctly ([#889](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/889))
* The page is no longer scrolled to the parent element when focusing on a non-focusable child during click automation ([#913](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/913))
* Browser auto-detection now works with all the Linux distributions ([#104](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe-browser-tools/issues/104),
  [#915](https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/915))

## v0.9.0 (2016-10-18)

:tada: Initial release :tada:
