- We've been seeing weird errors with tables not existing when running tests locally
- This appears to happen after an error causes the tests to abort
- This change includes two fixes:
1. we triggers a full DB reset just before the entire test suite runs
- this is done by wrapping the override file for tests that use a db, and supplying a mochaGlobalSetup hook
2. catch errors when attempting to do a fast truncation-based reset & init, and do a full reset & init instead
- These two changes should ensure the DB is always in the state we expect when running a new test suite

- Having to fill out `process.env` variables in tests is a frustrating developer experience. Test environment should be configured with smart defaults, so the developer writing test cases would modify variables like this only is special test cases.

We now have @tryghost/jest-snapshot - a suite of utilities for using snapshots with mocha, should, etc
The @tryghost/express-test lib also uses it to provide chained snapshot assertions
This library was created because all the existing implementations I could find, including the in use @ethanresnick/chai-jest-snapshot
didn't properly support property matching. @ethanresnick/chai-jest-snapshot supposedly supported it, but the implementation was incorrect
and frequently lead to false test passes.
This library also has (after some back and forth) path resolution so that snapshots can live in a local __snapshots__ folder
This commit achieves a few things:
- ☑️ No longer having to remember whether a command is yarn something or grunt something
- ☑️ Simplification of tools hopefully making them easier to remember and use
- ☑️ Complete removal of the need for grunt from our test tooling
Several of the tools still use grunt under the hood, but the **entrypoint** should aways be `yarn xxx`.
- `grunt main` -> `yarn main`
- `grunt dev` -> `yarn dev`
- `grunt build` -> `yarn build`
- `grunt test:file-or-folder` -> `yarn test file-or-folder`
- `grunt test-unit` -> `yarn test:unit`
- `grunt test-acceptance` -> `yarn test:acceptance`
- `grunt test-regression` -> `yarn test:regression`
- `grunt validate` -> removed due to lack of use
There is now also `yarn test:all` to run all 3 classes of tests
This PR also reorders & restructures the Gruntfile extensively so that:
- The remaining useful commands are all at the top of the file
- Config and other blah happens after all the useful commands
- All release-only config happens in the release task at the very end of the file
---
DONE:
* Removed all references to npm/bower
* Removed all references to lint / deprecated command
* Moved debug to yarn dev:debug
* Removed all references to travis
* Removed broken help task + useless comment
* Removed unused knex-migrator and clean:test setup tasks
* Added new test commands, removed grunt validate
* Moved stubClientFiles to test utility and use in the few tests that need it
* Used mocha in yarn directly except grunt test:x
* Swapped grunt test for yarn test
* extensive cleanup and reshuffling
