For yesterday's Mockito Javadoc issue: our build breaks with Java 8. However, since Mockito 4 still supports Java 8, we want to publish using that infrastructure. I guess we have to switch to Java 11 soon...

Turns out, running a lot of tests in a real browser doesn't mean they are slow.

Gather 'round, it's story time. A number of years ago, I was hired by a company to rebuild a component library for their design system. The one they were replacing was built with AngularJS, but AngularJS was old and rickety and nobody wanted to use it anymore. 👇

A recent tweet about running 1000 tests in 1s for Preact got a little attention. Here's a blog post diving into all the tricks and optimizations we applied to achieved that⚡️ marvinh.dev/blog/running-1…

You should really look at your build output

The most important reason why we switched to web components in Chrome DevTools

On my way to the Adyen Developers Tech Event 2022! At 17:00 I will give my talk on "How to use mocks effectively in tests". Part of the event is publicly available as well via livestream: adyen.com/landing/events…

Currently, all PRs to MockitoJava are blocked because of a Java 8 build issue. Are you looking to contribute to an open source project? I would be delighted to help you out. Some instructions and options are listed here: github.com/mockito/mockit…

Private class fields are now even faster 🎉 And ESLint can also detect unused class fields: eslint.org/docs/latest/ru…

A community member fixed it. After a couple of iterations, they came up with the simplest and most maintainable solution! Team work :D github.com/mockito/mockit…

✎ LET'S TALK ABOUT WEB COMPONENTS: bradfrost.com/blog/post/lets… Web components are part of the web. They are good for the web. We should be rooting for them.

Because web components are native to the web, they can travel to any web-based environment. They can be plugged into a WordPress/Drupal/Contentful/whatever site or integrated into a React/Vue/Angular/whatever app. Of course reality is more complicated than that rosy picture.

On Oct 25 around noon we saw a significant spike in test failures running in our physical (phone) device labs. Why did this happen .... Turns out even though our devices have wifi off and no sims there is still a vector of non-determinism...

I find this interesting because the longer my career goes, the more I prefer simple and limited (not referring to React, just generally). Context is everything in software so hard to define hard rules but I like simple because generally it means fewer footguns.

They are catching on

After months of work (and years before me!), I've just sent the PR that converts TypeScript itself to modules. The compiler is 10-25% faster, the package is 43% smaller, and more. github.com/microsoft/Type…

This is what HTML classes are now.

Installed the Mastodon PWA (super polished) and will uninstall this PWA. See you on the other side!
