Notable side-effects:
- loopback no longer exports "caller" and "arguments" properties
- kv-memory connector is now properly added to the connector registry
- the file "test/support.js" was finally removed
The remote-connector test has misconfigured the client (remote) model,
where the client model was trying to keep track of changes. That's
redundant because it's up to the server model (attached directly to the
database) to track changes.
This commit fixes that configuration and also cleans up the test code
a little bit to make it easier to distinguish between the remote
(client) model and the server model.
1) Add integration tests running change replication over REST to verify
that access control at model level is correctly enforced.
2) Implement a new access type "REPLICATE" that allows principals
to create new checkpoints, even though they don't have full WRITE
access to the model. Together with the "READ" permission, these
two types allow principals to replicate (pull) changes from the server.
Note that anybody having "WRITE" access type is automatically
granted "REPLICATE" type too.
3) Add a new model option "enableRemoteReplication" that exposes
replication methods via strong remoting, but does not configure
change rectification. This option should be used the clients
when setting up Remote models attached to the server via the remoting
connector.
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.
creating a cache
- Use the SharedClass class to build the remote connector
- Change default base model from Model to DataModel
- Fix DataModel errors not logging correct method names
- Use the strong-remoting 1.4 resolver API to resolve dynamic remote
methods (relation api)
- Remove use of fn object for storing remoting meta data
- Move DataModel remoting setup into setup phase
- Add a remoting type converter for DataModels
- Move model tests into re-usable test utilities
- Move other test utilities into new test utilities folder
