- The `author_id` column is gone, so is the support for filtering posts by single author's id. Using author's slug(s) is the closest alternative to achieve the same result

- When moving the site tests into e2e-api they broke because they were getting the changed settings value from the settings test
- The solution is to ensure the settingsCache is reset between tests, which is what this commit does
- This commit also renames the shutdown method to reset, because this is not a permanent operation
- It also renames the resetDb method to resetData, because the concept is we want the internal data to be reset, not just the DB
- When starting ghost for e2e tests we create a content folder in the os tmp dir
- This means that the folder can change between suites as ghost is started and restarted
- For the most part this is fine, but theme storage caches the path to config (which makes sense, it's not meant to change whilst Ghost is in-memory)
- This is a quick-n-dirty fix that just makes it possible to update that path in the tests, so we know it's in sync
- Ideally we'd not cache the path, use a function to fetch it etc, or fully reset the theme storage layer, but this is the fix I have working today
and so it's going in to unblock things for now

- in the referenced commit, I made a util to speed up resetting the DB
for SQLite by copying the database file
- I inadvertently removed an optimization we had before - where we
truncate the tables and insert the fixtures instead of dropping the
entire database
- this would be missing on MySQL tests
- this seems to have a big difference so this commit re-adds the
optimization in

Instead of loading all themes for each set of tests in the e2e suite, only load the frontend at all for frontend tests, and only load themes for the theme tests.

- Being able to set up test suites without blocking a port opens a door to new ways to run tests - for example this has been one of the blockers for running mocha tests in parallel
- Additional benefit is lighter statrup, which reducec the test execution time slightly. Doesn't seem like much but these things stack up!

- we nuke and reinitialize the DB many times between tests
- this forms a good portion of the time taken and we shouldn't be spending
so much time on just resetting the DB back to a known state
- this commit switches out the knex-migrator reset + init calls for SQLite to
a function which keeps a clean copy of the DB and copies the file back
when we "reset"
- for MySQL, existing functionality is kept
- this massively speeds up tests because it saves ~700ms+ for every reset
- whilst this change seems to work, it's just the start so there's a
lot more refactoring needed. this change is currently gated to CI until
it's deemed safe/sane enough to run on local machines without blowing
up

- Allows to fully start an instance with a custom routes.yaml file without a need to do workarounds - e.g. we used to call an internal Admin API from a regression test suite, which is not a good practice
- Providing "routesFilePath" to startGhost method copies that file to the default settings location and start the instance with that configuration. No need to do API calls or check if the routing service "isFinished"
no issue
- this commit adds a counter for the number of boots we do in tests
- which therefore allows us to calculate the average boot time we
experience
- only useful for debugging test performance
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- This optimization is expected to play a role in more consistent "backend-only" boot where the previous test state might have left over a different theme version which might cause in unwanted URL Services reainitializations.
- What has been happening here is the themes.test.js suite was uploading a theme with a v4 api and when the users api test suite loaded up it switched back to a default v2 theme, which caused routing reinitialization
- The root problem here is the themese suite is leaving a mess behind so a "restartModeGhostStart" is not really possible anymore - this should be cleaned up separately
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- The global default should stay the same as it used to be and we can introduce an override for "withFrontend:false" on casa-by-case or area-by-area bases
refs https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/135
- When running e2e-API test in most cases there's no need to boot Ghost instance with full frontend. This should improve the boot time which should reflect on the speed of running test suites
- The tests where the "forceStart" and "withFrontend" are used together indicate that there's still some work to do to fully separate frontend/backend boot line. The force start is also unnecessary, but was needed to reinitialize all services properly - should be investigated!
- These two things are meant to improve performance at the cost of reliability.
- Perfect for testing, however I think they make a minimal impact on modern SSDs :(
- Still worth a shot to see if it helps with CI

Since we have a DynamicRedirectManager for handling adding/removing
redirects at runtime, we no longer need the custom-redirects middleware.
The redirects service does however need an init method now to add the
custom redirects at Ghost boot, so it's been refactored into our Class &
DI pattern.
