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?
You know you are a #frontend#developer when you have way too many #browsers (all with different themes you can you tell what is what) just so you test things from multiple accounts simulatneously...
Anyone found a better soution to this little game?
@martine_dowden#playwright can run automated tests in Firefox, chrome, edge, and webkit. It installs them all for you and can open any of them in a headfull mode where you can run the dev tools!
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.

Today in Labor History August 21, 1680: Pueblo Indians captured Santa Fe from the Spanish. The Pueblo Revolt was an uprising against the Spanish colonizers in the province of Santa Fe de Nuevo México. The Pueblos killed 400 Spaniards and drove the remaining 2,000 settlers out of the province. However, the Spaniards reconquered New Mexico 12 years later. One cause of the revolt was the Spaniard’s attempt to destroy the Pueblo religion and ban their traditional dances and kachina dolls.
The Pueblo Revolt has been depicted in numerous fictional accounts, many of which were written by native and Pueblo authors. Clara Natonabah, Nolan Eskeets & Ariel Antone, from the Santa Fe Indian School Spoken Word Team, wrote and performed "Po'pay" in 2010. In 2005, Native Voices at the Autry produced “Kino and Teresa,” a Pueblo recreation of “Romeo and Juliet,” written by Taos Pueblo playwright James Lujan. La Compañía de Teatro de Albuquerque produced the bilingual play “Casi Hermanos,” written by Ramon Flores and James Lujan, in 1995. Even Star Trek got into the game, with references to the Pueblo Revolt in their "Journey's End" episode. The rebel leader, Po’pay, was depicted in Willa Cather’s “Death Comes for the Arch Bishop” and in Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.”
Today in Labor History August 21, 1752: French radical priest Jacques Roux (1752-1794) was born in Charente, France. He participated in the French Revolution and fought for a classless society and the abolition of private property. He also helped radicalize the Parisian working class. Roux was a leader of the far-left faction, Enrages, and was elected to the Paris Commune in 1791. He demanded that food be available for everyone and argued that the wealthy should executed if they horded it.
Roux is featured in a mission in the French Revolution-set game Assassin's Creed Unity. He is also portrayed in Peter Weiss's Marat/Sade. Here, Roux is dressed in a straight jacket in an asylum and the asylum directors cut off his dialogue to symbolize the state’s desire to restrain political radicals.
#art#history: she needs no introduction, but i would like to add an anecdote or two about the indelible mae west (born #otd in 1893).
she was an actress, yes, but she was also a writer - & she caused a bit of a scandal in 1927 with her play, 'the drag (a homosexual comedy in three acts)', about a closeted gay socialite, for which she cast gay actors. #maeWest#cinema#playwright#LGBTQ#actor#brooklyn
