Spec Helper Type changes

It's now much easier to get the types of your response from specHelper.runAction<Action>() and specHelper.runTask<Task>()!

Just provide your Action or Task Class!

// In `__tests__/actions/randomNumber.ts`
import { Process, specHelper } from "actionhero";
import { RandomNumber } from "../../src/actions/randomNumber";

describe("Action: randomNumber", () => {
  const actionhero = new Process();
  beforeAll(async () => await actionhero.start());
  afterAll(async () => await actionhero.stop());

  test("generates random numbers", async () => {
    // now "randomNumber" is typed properly as a number
    const { randomNumber } = await specHelper.runAction<RandomNumber>(
      "randomNumber"
    );
    expect(randomNumber).toBeGreaterThan(0);
    expect(randomNumber).toBeLessThan(1);
  });
});

Version 27 also removed i18n and uglify from Actionhero

Localization Removal

1. Remove any /locales/* files you have, and move that text content into your Actions and Tasks
2. Remove any instances if connection.localize() in your code - this method is removed

Configuration

1. In src/config/api.ts:
   • Add config.general.welcomeMessage = 'Welcome to the Actionhero API!' or similar message
   • Remove config.general.paths.locale
2. In src/config/errors.ts:
   • Remove all instances of data.connection.localize and use regular JS strings

Minified Websocket Client Library Removed

ActionheroWebsocketClient.min.js will no longer be generated in your Actionhero projects. Most users include /public/javascript/ActionheroWebsocketClient.js in their build and it is compiled into their react or angular project... or cached and minified by their CDN. Minifiying this client-side javascript is now outside of the scope of Actionhero.
