Add tests covering typical replication scenarios that happen
in the setup where multiple clients are synchronizing changes
against a single server (database).
Rework the Change model to merge changes made within the same
Checkpoint.
Rework `replicate()` to run multiple iteration until there were no
changes replicated. This ensures that the target model is left in
a clean state with no pending changes associated with the latest
(current) checkpoint.
* Replace deprecated hooks with Operation hooks (Miroslav Bajtoš)
* test: don't warn about running deprecated paths (Miroslav Bajtoš)
* karma conf: prevent timeouts on Travis CI (Miroslav Bajtoš)
* Pass options from User.login to createAccessToken (Raymond Feng)
* Config option to disable legacy explorer routes Setting legacyExplorer to false in the loopback config will disable the routes /routes and /models made available in loopback.rest. The deprecate module has been added to the project with a reference added for the legacyExplorer option as it is no longer required by loopback-explorer. Tests added to validate functionality of disabled and enabled legacy explorer routes. (Ron Edgecomb)
* test: setup GUID for all models tracking changes (Miroslav Bajtoš)

Extend `PersistedModel.replicate` to pass the newly created checkpoints
as the third callback argument.
The typical usage of these values is to pass them as the `since`
argument of the next `replicate()` call.
global.since = -1;
function sync(cb) {
LocalModel.replicate(
since,
RemoteModel,
function(err, conflicts, cps)
if (err) return cb(err);
if (!conflicts.length) {
since = cps;
return cb();
}
// resolve conflicts and try again
});
}
Before this change, in the case of a one-way replication, the remote
checkpoint was never updated, thus the "diff" step had to check
all changes made through the whole history.
This commit fixes the problem by creating a new remote checkpoint
at the same time when a local checkpoint is created.
It is important to create the new checkpoint before the replication is
started to prevent a race condition where a remote change can end up
being associated with an already replicated checkpoint.
Rework the "replicate()" to create a new source checkpoint as the first
step, so that any changes made in parallel will be associated with
the next checkpoint.
Before this commit, there was a race condition where a change might
end up being associated with the already-replicated checkpoint and thus
not picked up by the next replication run.
Modify `PersistedModel.replicate` to allow consumers to provide
different "since" values to be used for the local and remote changes.
Make the "since" filters consistent and include the "since" value
in the range via `gte`. Before this commit, the local query used
`gt` and the remote query used `gte`.
Setting legacyExplorer to false in the loopback config will disable
the routes /routes and /models made available in loopback.rest.
The deprecate module has been added to the project with a reference
added for the legacyExplorer option as it is no longer required by
loopback-explorer. Tests added to validate functionality of disabled
and enabled legacy explorer routes.
Fix all test models that are tracking changes so that they have
a generated unique string id.
Make model names unique where possible to prevent tests reusing
the same model which causes unintented side effects.
