v1.0.0 🎉

[vobu]

v1.0.0

Here we are, with the first major release of wdi5!
It includes a plethora of features and changes. Let's dive in 🤿

🔐 Authentication support

Long in the making, now here: configure wdi5 to authenticate against

• BTP (default IdP)
• Office 365
• a custom IdP
• and with Basic Auth

📖 https://ui5-community.github.io/wdi5/#/authentication
Authentication is config-only, so no changes in test code required 😎

🤲 UI5 Managed Object API alignment

In addition to the UI5 Control API alignment, now the managed objects in wdi5-/Node.js-scope are also aligned:

// assuming title is a sap.m.Title
const title = await browser.asControl(selector)
// bindingInfo is a UI5 Managed Object, not a UI5 control!
const bindingInfo = await title.getModel() // same .getModel in wdi5 and UI5!
const name = await bindingInfo.getProperty("/path/in/model") // same .getProperty in wdi5 and UI5!

more on this in https://ui5-community.github.io/wdi5/#/usage

🗑️ deprecation of the wdi5-specific url configuration option

the always mandatory basicUrl and the wdi5-specific url was confusing, so it now is baseUrl only
→ less config clutter
📖 https://ui5-community.github.io/wdi5/#/configuration?id=url-deprecated
♻️ no worries, legacy support is in place, so all your configs keep on working

📝 documentation enhancements

• more recipes, now sorted alphabetically
• @wdi5 fosstodon account
• Journey- and Test-Recorder → tools

💑 Thanks a ton to all contributors, testers and supporters all over UI5-land!
This one's for you! 👏 ✌️

PS: expect next releases to follow a more proper major-minor-patch semantic versioning strategy. So far, we stuck to 0.9.x patch releases in order to prep for this 1.0, which is now done. So true semantic versioning it will be from now on.

@vobu How do we pass authentication details such as username and password?

[monavari-lebrecht]

you can do this by providing it as an ENVIRONMENT variable. E.g. you can create a file named ".env" within your working directory with the contents:

wdi5_username=[email protected]
wdi5_password=myPassPhrase

For MultiRemote Access add the name of the remote.
