The last response body gets now always stashed in the REST tests and can be retrieved via `$body`. This implies that not only expected values can be retrieved from the stashed values, but actual values as well.
Added support for regular expressions to `match` assertion, using `Pattern.COMMENTS` flag for better readability through new custom hamcrest matcher (adopted in do section as well). Functionality added through new feature called `regex` that needs to be mentioned in the skip sections whenever needed till all the runners support it.
Added also example tests for cat count api
As we have different runners for the REST tests we need a mechanism that allows us to add features to any of them without breaking all others builds.
The idea is to name a feature and temporarily use skip sections that mention the required new features, so that runners that don't support it will skip the test.
Added support for `features` field in skip section.
Added `Features` class that contains a static list of the features supported by the runner. If a feature mentioned in a skip section is not listed here, the test will be skipped.
If a get field mapping request is issued, and all but the field can be
found, the response should return an empty JSON object instead of a 404.
Closes#4738
In order to make sure, that only the requested data is returned to the client,
a couple of fixes have been applied in the ClusterState.toXContent() method.
Also some tests were added to the yaml test suite
Closes#4885
Added base TransportAction class for master read operations that execute locally or not depending on the request class (local flag).
Added support for local flag where missing, in a backwards compatible manner:
- IndicesExistsRequest
- GetAliasesRequest (get alias api, aliases exist api)
- TypesExistsRequest
- GetIndexTemplatesRequest (get template, template exists)
- GetSettingsRequest
- GetRepositoriesRequest
- PendingClusterTasks
Added parsing of the local flag where missing in Rest*Action.
Updated SPEC adding local flag param where missing and added REST tests that contain use of the local flag where it was just added.
Closes#3345
Including:
* change some string params to list
* make some params or bodies required
* removed incorrect URLs
* removed incorrect params
* Fixed name of pending_tasks
Although the empty paths are still registered in the java RestActions, that is only to return a meaningful error in case the index is not provided.
Index/indices are now mandatory.
