Acceptance tests for sharing when the receiver has a matching file/folder

Background

Currently the sharing acceptance tests mostly use files and folders that are in the "standard" acceptance test webUI or API skeleton. e.g. user1 and user2 both have simple-folder. When user1 shares simple-folder with user2 then user2 receives a folder called simple-folder (2). So we have "accidentally" created lots of test scenarios for the case where the share receiver already has a matching file or folder name.

As part of speeding up CI, we are reducing the use of the "standard" skeleton (it takes significant time to create for every user of every scenario). Scenarios will (soon) usually result in the share receiver not already having a matching file or folder. So the (2) naming thing will not get tested much.

To Do

Create explicit test scenarios for sharing where the share receiver already has a matching file or folder name.
