[Quest] Remove jquery

[ro0gr]

This is one of the obvious improvements which is long awaited. We still have several dependencies on jquery:

• Query selectors, like: :eq(, :visible, :contains(, and :last. We rely on those internally. This is supposed to be solved by introducing the Query Engines #567. Also we allow to pass jquery selectors as a scope, so migrating to the querySelector( would be a breaking change.
  • Implement Query adapters - Query #580
  • Replace jQuery query adapter by DOM query adapter
• DOM accessors. Seems we should just re-implement the utils:
  • $.attr( - get rid of $.attr( #618
  • $.prop( - get rid of $.prop( #635
  • $.html(
  • $.val( - replace jQuery.val( with local implementation #633
  • $.text( - replace usages of $.text( with local implementation #629
• Surprisingly, visitable( also depends on the $.param( - get rid of $.param( #619
• findElementWithAssert(, findElement( return jquery collection. Let's deprecate, and drop these finders in favour of findOne( and findMany(
  • deprecate - deprecate findElement and findElementWithAssert #620
  • remove
