v0.9.6

What's New

• Windows Desktop app automation - Karate Robot - also see the detailed install guide
• Revamped HTML report (see video)
• Intercept browser HTTP requests in Chrome (see video)
• configure callSingleCache - so that you don't need to wait for a "sign-in flow", every time you re-run a test in dev mode
• driver.inputFile() - Chrome-native file-upload
• WebDriver support for the new (Chromium based) Microsoft Edge browser
• Improved tree walking in UI tests, e.g. locateAll(), parent, children etc.
• Multiple mock files can be combined into one at run-time (thanks @michaelpro1)
• CLI testing support ! See this thread for details
• match can finally be used in JS with all the power you normally have in feature files, see this thread and some extras to introspect object / data types within JS blocks
• contains deep for recursive nested JSON matching (see example)

Breaking Changes

• match contains will not recurse nested items any more, use contains deep as explained above
• karate.stop() now takes a mandatory port number argument, so you can call the same (static) cURL command to resume, e.g. curl localhost:8080
• exists() API refactored for UI tests, see this thread for details
• a match with a primitive number on the right-hand-side could incorrectly pass, this should be very rare - see this thread for details
• again extremely unlikely and rare, but a backslash (\) character was getting swallowed in doc-string (triple-quote) sections, so in case you were escaping them, you don't need to any more (commit details)
