Peter Schuler hat uns von seinem Vortrag „Wie automatisierte Akzeptanztests Continuous Delivery
ermöglichen“ die Folien, ein Demo Repository und sogar eine Aufzeichnung zur Verfügung gestellt! 🧡
„To be honest there is one #TYPO3 magician called jpmschuler who is updating everything on each night, but then you need to have lot of frontend/functional testing to be sure everything is working as before"
Peter lässt uns heute Abend an seiner Magie auf Basis von #Playwright teilhaben.
Biggie Announcement: I'm officially a #playwright! Woohoo!
My comedy 10-minute play "Carthago Delenda Est" was selected to be produced - with real actors on stage - for the Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette's Play Festival! I'm giddy with all the good feelings. 🤩 If you're in #LafayetteIN over the last weekend in June, come out and see it!
Thanks to all the people who helped proofread, and gave me suggestions to make it better.
This landed hard.
I love literature and the theatre. I love diving into other people’s work; I love creating my own. It has become increasingly clear (especially since the pandemic) that my work is not commercial and my “brand” (whatever that is) does not excite. I will never be on Broadway or off. But I have to live the life that is mine even though there is no goal beyond that. #writer#writerlife#playwright
Today in Labor History February 28, 1933: Erich Mühsam, was arrested and blamed for the Reichstag fire. He was sent to the Oranienberg concentration camp, where he was tortured and murdered. Mühsam was an anarchist, poet and playwright who condemned Nazism and satirized Hitler. In the wake of the fire, President von Hindenburg issued the Reichstag Fire Decree, suspending civil liberties, and launching a "ruthless confrontation" with the Communists, making the fire pivotal in the establishment of Nazi Germany.
Today in Labor History February 11, 1938: BBC Television produced the world's first ever science fiction television program, an adaptation of a section of the Karel Čapek play R.U.R., that coined the term "robot." He derived the word “robot” from the Czech word for forced labor by Serfs. R.U.R. is an archetype for many of the science fiction stories and films that followed, like Bladerunner, West World and Terminator, and others about robots, replicants and hosts that rebel against humans. However, “R.U.R.,” like Čapek’s 1936 novel “War with the Newts,” is also a satirical critique of totalitarianism, which was already on the rise in Europe at the time he wrote the play.
Today in Labor History February 10, 1898: Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht was born. Brecht was a doctor, poet and playwright. He fled the Nazis only to be persecuted in the U.S. by HUAC during the Cold War. He is most well-known for his play, “The Three Penny Opera.” He also wrote “Mother Courage and Her Children” and “The Days of the Commune,” about the Paris Commune. Additionally, he wrote poetry and composed the lyrics to many of the songs performed in his plays, like “Mack the Knife” and “Alabama Song” (AKA Whiskey Bar).
Today in Labor History February 7, 1917: A court wrongly convicted labor organizer Tom Mooney for the San Francisco Preparedness Day bombing in July 1916. The governor finally granted him an unconditional pardon after 22.5 years of incarceration. 10 people died in the bombing and 40 were injured. A jury convicted two labor leaders, Thomas Mooney and Warren Billings, based on false testimony. Both were pardoned in 1939. Not surprisingly, only anarchists were suspected in the bombing. A few days after the bombing, they searched and seized materials from the offices of “The Blast,” Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman’s local paper. They also threatened to arrest Berkman.
In 1931, while they were still in prison, I. J. Golden persuaded the Provincetown Theater to produce his play, “Precedent,” about the Mooney and Billings case. Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times wrote, “By sparing the heroics and confining himself chiefly to a temperate exposition of his case [Golden] has made “Precedent” the most engrossing political drama since the Sacco-Vanzetti play entitled Gods of the Lightening… Friends of Tom Mooney will rejoice to have his case told so crisply and vividly.”
Today in Labor History January 31, 1912: A General Strike began in Brisbane, Australia. It lasted until March 6. The strike was a response to the suspension of tramway workers for wearing union badges. Within a few days, the strike committee became the de facto government of Brisbane. No work could be done in the city without the committee’s permission. They created their own independent police force and provided ambulance service for the city. They issued strike coupons, redeemable at stores that were in solidarity with the strikers. People wore red ribbons to show their support and even put them on their dogs and dray horses. On the second day of the strike, 25,000 people marched, with another 50,000 supporters watching. On Black Friday, February 2, the cops attacked a women’s march with batons. Emma Miller, a trade unionist and suffragist who was in her 70s and weighed less than 80 pounds, pulled out a hat pin and stabbed the rump of the police commissioner’s horse. The horse reared and threw the commissioner. As a result of his injury, he limped for the rest of his life. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of the unionists, and their right to wear union badges while on the job. Errol O’Neill wrote a play about the strike, “Faces in the Street.”
I just felt inspired and wrote a 10-minute play this morning for the Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette's annual Short Play Festival. I've had it rolling around in my head a while, and it's good to finally get it on (digital) paper.
Entries are due March 1st, and it's open to all Indiana residents. Selected plays would be presented June 28-30.
On Wednesday January 24, #JaneAusten & Co proudly present award-winning novelist and playwright, #UzmaJallaludin to talk about her Austen-Adjacent novels and plays. Event is from 7 pm - 8:30 pm EST and is on YouTube. The event is free.
Today in Writing History January 19, 1829: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's “Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy” premiered. It’s the story of a scientist who makes a pact with the devil to gain power and knowledge. It took him 37 years to complete the play. Goethe also published scientific works on anatomy and botany. In the late 1700s, he wrote that variation in plants and animals was due to descent from common ancestors. This idea later influenced Darwin, who also credited Goethe with discovering the intermaxillary bone. Goethe’s novel, “Sorrows of Young Werther,” led to a suicide craze in Europe.
Testing is great. Even just a simple #playwright test that checks you can log in and see the first screen of your app can save a lot of time when you break something without realising it.
I have an E2E smoke test that does a couple of login tests with different users and credentials and makes sure they all work at a minimal level. Takes about 8-10 seconds to run in #pytest with playwright (chromium only), and that's including the database setup and teardown. 100% worth it.
Been looking at the draft results of the Django Developer survey - htmx, Playwright and django-ninja have all gained ground in popularity 📈
Do you use any of these, and if so, why? If you are a new user, what made you try it out/make a switch?
