What a banging Friday night:

Boshing out a new blog about running Playwright in Gitlab CI

#playwright #gitlab

https://www.mikestreety.co.uk/blog/running-playwright-in-gitlab-ci/

Has anyone already figured out how to write an automated test that involves find-in-page search?

Specifically to test hidden=until-found dependent behaviour.

New blog post:

Using Playwright to run your smoke tests

I’m liking using axe for checking #a11y issues with #playwright

Unfortunately react axe support was dropped when react broke their API in the 18 version. It was super useful when testing for issues and seeing things reported whilst using the app. Especially with dynamic apps, seeing an issue when the app changes rather than just testing for automated issues with something like lighthouse which works on page load.

Adding these a11y checks inside the e2e tests is nice, and found real issues.

Three ways writing code is like writing theatre (and one way it’s not)

Today in labor history April 28, 1896: Tristan Tzara was born. He was a Romanian-French poet, journalist, playwright, literary and art critic, film director. He co-founded the anti-establishment Dada movement. During Hitler’s rise to power, he participated in the anti-fascist movement and the French Communist Party. In 1934, Tzara organized a mock trial of Salvador Dalí because of his fawning over Hitler and Franco. The surrealists Andre Breton, Paul Éluard and René Crevel helped run the trial. In the 1940s, Tzara lived in Marseilles with a large group of anti-fascist artists and writers, under the protection of American diplomat Varian Fry. These included Victor Serge, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Andre Breton and Max Ernst. Later he joined the French Resistance, writing propaganda and running their pirate radio station. After the Liberation of Paris, he wrote for L'Éternelle Revue, a communist newspaper edited by Jean-Paul Sartre. Other contributors to the newspaper included Louis Aragon, Éluard, Jacques Prévert and Pablo Picasso. Varian Fry, and his communal home for radicals in hiding, was portrayed in the historical drama series “Transatlantic.”

I have been working towards a #Django starter template that solves a lot of my problems. Figured I would share ;)

This template focuses on the frontend and includes things like #HTMX #DjangoChannels #Playwright and a few more of my favorite tools.

How to Easily Reproduce a Flaky Test in Playwright, by @charpeni.bsky.social:

https://www.charpeni.com/blog/how-to-easily-reproduce-a-flaky-test-in-playwright

still building this beautiful #python #asetniop #curses editor with special focus for me as a #playwright.

unlike the screenwriter-focused #fountain, it is truly and fully #markdown based, with some additional styling added.

also it’s fully customizable; you just have to modify a very readable style.py to your liking! no .css vomit or wysiwyg menu hell

trying out #cryptpad since google and ms are simps for fascism now.

i am pleased! it even has dark mode!

I recently wrote my first #Playwright tests.

When I run them with "npx playwright test --ui", they always pass.

When I run them with "npx playwright test", there is usually one test that fails.

Anybody have an idea what might be going on here? Thanks!

If you are working with #Django and curious about how to test your #HTMX frontends, then #PreludeTech's next "Modern frontend development with Django, HTMX, #Tailwind, #Playwright and #AlpineJS " learning sprint could be exactly what you need.

You'll learn about how to apply #TDD while building and debugging modern, interactive frontends.
