Альтернативный способ хранения скриншотов в Playwright и способ их обновления

В ходе автоматизации тестирования пользовательских интерфейсов зачастую используется такой подход как визуальное тестирование. Он позволяет поддерживать стабильность и отсутствие ошибок в отображении страниц. Одним из инструментов, предоставляющих возможность автоматизации данного вида тестирования, является Playwright. В этой статье я расскажу о работе с визуальным тестированием в рамках упомянутого инструмента, как мы справились со сложностями хранения эталонных скриншотов и автоматизировали их обновление.

PlaywrightでChromeコンソールログからClaudeへのエラーコピペの手間を無くす

"The last word of the title is surprising in “Two #Jews Walk Into a War…” The opening words suggest the last one will be “bar” and that a joke will follow. #Playwright Seth Rozin thwarts only the first of these expectations. “War” is not the word we anticipate, but many jokes do follow.

The #play is delightful and thought-provoking in the excellent production by the New #Jewish #Theatre.

The action takes place in the recent past in a nearly abandoned #synagogue in #Kabul. #Afghanistan. Gunfire is so common in the war-torn city that it gets no response from Ishaq and Zeblyan, the last surviving Jews in the country."

For new projects I rarely use #Ruby anymore. Rather #Python on the backend to implement APIs and ETL pipelines, or Javascript & Typescript on the frontend together with ReactJS and NextJS and whatever JS framework is the latest trend. Even for crawlers and scrapers Javascript is a good choice in combination with #Puppeteer or #Playwright. Is it similar for you?

Today in Labor History July 22, 1916: Someone set off a bomb during the pro-war “Preparedness Day” parade in San Francisco. As a result, 10 people died and 40 were injured. A jury convicted two labor leaders, Thomas Mooney and Warren Billings, based on false testimony. Both were pardoned in 1939. Billings and Mooney were both anarchists and members of the IWW. 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 San Francisco paper. They also threatened to arrest Berkman.

In 1937, Mooney filed a writ of habeas corpus, providing evidence that his conviction was based on perjured testimony and evidence tampering. Among this evidence was a photograph of him in front of a large, ornate clock, on Market Street, clearly showing the time of the bombing and that he could not have been at the bombing site when it occurred. The Alibi Clock was later moved to downtown Vallejo, twenty-five miles to the northeast of San Francisco. Alibi Bookshop, in Vallejo, is named after this clock. On May 11, 2024, I did a reading there from my working-class historical novel, Anywhere But Schuylkill, during the Book Release Party for Roberta Tracy’s, Zig Zag Woman. Her novel takes place at the time of the Los Angeles Times bombing, in 1910, when two other labor leaders, the McNamara brothers, were framed.

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."

Some nice news for early August:

I’ll read my #monologue “The Downstairs Neighbors” during First Person Singular, a free night of monologues written by the Greater Lafayette Playwrights. It's a comedic play about #Hell and #MidwestNice, just like you'd expect!

First Person Singular will be held in the Ivy Tech Conference Room at #MatchBOX Coworking Studio, 17 N. 6th Street, #LafayetteIN.

14 short monologues presented, and it's free!

Wow, vibe scraping and vibe coding entirely from a mobile phone while having coffee with friends.

The final remark made me chuckle:

"Next time I'll remember to specify accessibility as a requirement in the initial prompt. I'm disappointed that Claude didn't consider that without me having to ask."
