Got a Playwright question - in my tests I'm clicking a button which in the backend sends an email. I tried to use Jest to mock that function in the backend so it doesn't send an email, but that doesn't seem to work. Should it?
I could check for NODE_ENV in the backend and not send an email, but I'd like access to the email contents in my playwright test, but without actually sending an email.
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 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 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.”
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.
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?
Today in Labor History November 3, 1793: French playwright, journalist and feminist Olympe de Gouges was guillotined during the Reign of Terror (1793–1794) for attacking the regime of the Revolutionary government and for her association with the Girondists. Her writings on women's rights and abolitionism reached a large audience in many different countries. She was also an outspoken advocate against the slave trade in the French colonies. In her Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Female Citizen (1791), she challenged the practice of male authority and the notion of male-female inequality.
Today in Labor History October 12, 1998: Matthew Shepard died from injuries sustained after being beaten and tortured in a homophobic assault in Laramie, Wyoming. The crime led to numerous attempts to enact new anti-hate crime laws at the local and federal level. All were opposed by conservative groups and most failed. It wasn’t until 2009 that the Matthew Shepard Act was finally signed into law. NBA player Jason Collins wore jersey number “98” in honor of Matthew Shepard during the 2021-2013 season, before coming out himself. “The Laramie Project” was a play about Matthew Shepard’s life and death written by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project.
Today in Labor History October 5, 1923: Swedish anarcho-syndicalist playwright & novelist Stig Dagerman was born. Over the course of 5 years, 1945–49, he wrote four successful novels, a collection of short stories, a book about postwar Germany, five plays, hundreds of poems and satirical verses, several essays and a large amount of journalism. He wrote the essay “Anarchism and Me” about his views on anarchism, and society, in post-World War 2 Europe. He killed himself in 1954, by running his car with the garage closed.
Planning a new article on #Kotlin, #Javalin, #HTMX, #TailwindCSS, #Playwright. Probably #Gradle, although I'm more and more interested in rediscovering #Maven. Maybe #RetroFit to include some OHS/ACL (#DDD Context Mapping), but maybe this is already a lot to combine just for an exploration.
