The framework silently overrode the requested currentPage, so integrations paging through search criteria got repeats and gaps. Removed the “feature”, covered it with API functional tests.

Official 2.4 documentation still taught the controller style the core had just moved away from. Ported the material from my DevBlog article on controller decomposition, with a routing flow diagram and the action interfaces developers actually need.

Suites froze right after the <before> section with no error to read — a bug in the pinned Selenium Hub image. One line, after checking the hub version is independent of selenium/chrome:3.8.1.

The URN generator wrote absolute filesystem paths into .idea/misc.xml, so committing that file broke autocompletion for every other developer on the team.

Added a MySQL instance on tmpfs plus dev/tests/integration/tmp on tmpfs — the data dies with the container, which is exactly what an integration suite wants, and it runs far faster. Shipped with a page on how to use it.

Test reports lived inside the test container and disappeared with it. Allure moved to its own service, with the directory permissions fixed and docs for wiring up PHPUnit and Codeception.

Test class names did not match their file names, so MFTF never collected them — a green suite that was quietly running less than it claimed. Renaming across 71 files put the tests back, along with the failures they had been hiding.

95 test files triggered full reindexes and blanket cache:flush calls, and the functional suite paid for all of it. Switched to <magentoCron groups="index"> with cache flushes narrowed to cache:flush config where that was enough.

Write {{AdminLoginPage}} instead of {{AdminLoginPage.url}} and MFTF navigated to the literal placeholder string, failing several steps later with an error that pointed nowhere. Now it throws where the mistake actually is.

Every frontend controller had to extend AbstractAction, which made the class hierarchy the only extension point. Dispatching of controller_predispatch moved into a plugin, so a controller now only has to implement ActionInterface. 44 files, and the start of the whole controller decomposition effort with Vinai Kopp and Lena Orobei.
