I'd like to review this one before it's merged 🥳

Thank you so much @kylepotts for working on this! I'm super excited to take a look 🥳 🚀

StefanS-O · 2022-08-21T19:12:20Z

For me it looks good, it has it's own Github Action so it won't interfere with the build. I am not sure about storing screenshots as artifacts, because i don't know limits to that.

I have never worked with playwright, only cypress. I wonder how we could test more complicated pages with more JavaScript interaction, like the single episode page with the audio player. Looking forward to exploring that.

I think it is a good starting point for exploring further, thanks @kylepotts 🚀

StefanS-O · 2022-08-21T19:13:21Z

Let's see what @elreydetoda says!

gerbrent · 2022-08-22T20:22:09Z

nice contribution @kylepotts ! Waiting for additional feedback from our resident experts....

elreydetoda

Overall, very nicely done @kylepotts! 🥳 🎉

Everything seems to make logical sense, and I ran things locally to validate everything was passing like expected (which it was). Thank you so much for this contribution I know I personally really appreciate it and I'm sure the JB staff does too! 😁

Now for the review part...I know that I've left a lot of comments (not all of it is actionable, some of it's acknowledgement/praise) and I've opened 3 PRs against your repo. So, I've got a bit of feedback 😅 , but it shouldn't be too hard because the PRs should get you most of the way. Definitely feel free though to re-implement it yourself, for learning purposes, if you want to but I wanted to make sure the repo has those changes for the initial addition of the E2E testing.

Most of the feedback is smaller things and some best practices I've learned from videos/classes I've taken about pytest. Pretty much everything from a playwright perspective (beside the one pieces of feedback about the pause) looked really solid 😁

Also, something that pylint has complained about me using before is that instead of .format() for formatting string, it normally recommends using f-strings instead.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of the feedback, and it might also be beneficial if you want to run black & pylint against your files as well. It makes it more cohesive, from a formatting perspective, when we're all using/linting our stuff the same way.

BTW, how was your first experience using playwright?

I don't think this is used anywhere, is it?

Typically (from my understanding) it's better to use something like .wait_for_load_state(). That'll ensure the page has fully loaded and there is no more network traffic (i.e. loading)

Suggested change

page.pause()

page.wait_for_load_state('networkidle')

Actually I think this can probably go. I was just using it for debugging.

I've already submitted a PR against your repo to help with the transition I'm suggesting, but I'd prefer to use pipenv instead of just raw pip + pip freeze for deps mgmt. Just how we did for the scraper (look at that issue for justifications as well).

Then transition to using pipenv like how we did for scrape.yml:

I don't know how I feel about this...for now I think this is fine, but eventually I think we should be targeting the branches output. For example, if it's a feature branch and we've got the deploy previews configured, then point the base URL to that feature branch's deploy preview or with production actually point to to the production URL.

Then we should be able to remove the hugo build step here completely, and just ensure this comes after the deployment. I think that'll be simpler in the long run, but for now this should work.

@kylepotts, do you mind making an issue about this so we don't forget about it 😁

But that means that these tests don't get run on each commit which sort of defeats the purpose of having tests doesn't it? Only you plan on deploying each branch someone makes to an environment to test and then tear it down.

So, yes and no 🙃

My plan for deploy previews was a tiered approach.

Have them build on every pull request (not on JB infrastructure, but on netlify) (outlined here)

Have them run on merge into develop

Have them run on merge into prod

So, in that situation they would run on every push of commits, because netlify re-builds + GH actions re-run when commits are added to an already open PR.

(BTW, just to be on the same page I'm talking strictly about a future implementation)

gerbrent · 2022-08-24T18:25:25Z

Here's my hesitation on this PR, which is worthy of much more discussion and is more a meta-topic for the project than anything and not at all a reflection of the commits/code:

While I am positive this is probably an amazing addition to our project, and really fulfills one of the main asks for the new website - i.e. "help us w your expertise to make an amazing thing together!" - it seems we are now beginning to push outward the skills of those who are in place to understand the whole project, from a longevity point of view. Speaking personally, I am just about zero help in assessing the impacts of this PR as it surpasses my skill-set. But I see, aswell, that others who are here to check on the features and inner-workings of the new website are beginning to not comprehend the entirety of what's being integrated.

@elreydetoda has clearly been an amazing asset here, so kudos Elrey!

We need to keep thinking about the 5 year datapoint: those involved in JB at a deep level in 5 years - which will necessarily be different from today - will still need to be using and understanding everything we put into this project, or at least have a roadmap of documentation/comments/explainers to help rediscover it's parts when they break (they will).

I think what I'm asking is: Can we get an explainer/documentation of what's happening here for those of us who will likely need to maintain these parts for years? I would LOVE to understand, even on a surface level, which aspects this is solving and on simple terms, how it is solving it.

Also: ❤️ for all the hard and creative work!

gerbrent · 2022-08-24T18:45:05Z

Here's what I gather, from your helpful tests/Readme.md, and poking around:

This sets up Playwright, a helpful testing automation framework, that will allow us to use browser engines to mimic actual user interactions, and optionally capture screenshots/screencasts of said tests. This will allow us to make sure commits/PRs do not inadvertently break unrelated features by standardizing known-true states of our working site.

test/conftest.py suggests expected items to look for, and presumably report on if broken. I also assume other tests can/will be written and evolved.., even for commit/branch-specific uses.

How am I doing?! ; )

+4. Add your own test to the e2e folder and get coding!


I would imagine it would be helpful to mention the newly added tests command from the Makefile?

Also, previously we have been using docker to standardize local testing deployments, could this also be applied here in the Playwright testing environment to automate and thus avoid local dependency issues?

The Makefile uses docker, so why not the local testing environment aswell as described in the Readme?

The Readme was made before we updated to the Dockerfile for tests, so that needs to be updated.

test/Readme.md

kylepotts · 2022-08-25T21:51:01Z

@gerbrent

The goal of of testing is to make it so your code changes and deploys are inherently less risky. By nature of the website being a software project that is going to be actively worked on we need things in place to make sure that we do not break the website with our changes.

If you wanted to, you could deploy and manually spend time testing the site to see if you broke something. You might catch it you might not. But that manual process is painful and not very effective.

In the world of software, there has been a lot of time and attention placed into automating these style of manual tests make sure that as we change things were not breaking them as go.

These tests are setup to run a headless browser and verify that certain elements on the page exist. They check if the header logo is still there and if the header contains the correct links in the dropdowns. It also takes a screenshot of the page so someone can manually eyeball it for review to make sure nothing is out of place.

As far as your comment on the 5 year mark. These areas of software engineering are constantly evolving. There is always some new shiny testing framework. In 5 years I can guarantee these frameworks will likely be very different then they are now. Tests are not meant to be left in the dust and forgotten though. They are meant to be maintained just as you maintain the code you write.

In the end, this was my attempt at trying to make it so there is less risk in making changes to this project that will cause problems with the jbsite when its deployed. The tests are supposed to increase the confidence that code changes will not cause issues when deployed to production. Any good software project will have tests it is in my opinion a needed and necessary part of any software project if you expect it to be maintained and worked on.

If you decided this type of testing is not valuable because no one will know how to maintain it then that is the projects choice. I would still advocate for some kind of testing especially as you all are considering automatically deploying these changes from main into the production jb site.

gerbrent · 2022-08-26T00:29:14Z

@kylepotts thanks for all that!

I think the functionality is a wonderful addition to this project, just want to make sure it's something that can be used by many of us, and modified by many of us aswell. Sounds like that might not be a far stretch, so I fully support this idea given the technical bits can be confirmed/checked, which feels like @StefanS-O and @elreydetoda already confirmed.

Once you're happy w your merge cleanups, let me know @kylepotts and I'll happily merge this at a time when a few of us can be available to troubleshoot it's integration, if needed.

@kylepotts if you'd like to be involved during that merge session, we'd happily have you.

Great Readme!

gerbrent · 2022-08-26T02:08:42Z

This seems fun:

Test Generator

Playwright comes with the ability to generate tests out of the box and is a great way to quickly get started with testing. It will open two windows, a browser window where you interact with the website you wish to test and the Playwright Inspector window where you can record your tests, copy the tests, clear your tests as well as change the language of your tests.

Run codegen and perform actions in the browser. Playwright will generate the code for the user interactions. codegen will attempt to generate resilient text-based selectors.
