The meeting started on Slack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. here.
@hellofromtonya summarised last week in tests:
- Team cleared large number of tickets that needed help.
- 5.9 e2e strategy session was held and the strategy was set.
5.9 e2e strategy session was a big step forward for WP Core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., as:
- We are getting started with bringing e2e tests to Core.
- We now have clear boundaries of where e2e tests will live in Core and Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/.
- We have a process/workflow from idea => PR ready => code review => commit.
@hellofromtonya mentioned, that the next step is to do the same for PHPUnit integration tests. Both of the above will become a 5.9 Test Roadmap
Open Floor
@justinahinon shared his concerns about shipping Playwright to Gutenberg now as it’ll need lots of work. He thinks that it’s better to make this experiment in the Core before.
@hellofromtonya shared her thought that Puppeteer and Playwright might exist in the suite together
@costdev agreed
@hellofromtonya wrote the Bigger Scope which is:
- Teaching contributors
- Creating tool that will convert from Puppeteer to Playwright
- Changing to linters
@costdev reminded, that we need to agree on standard for writing e2e with Playwright
@hellofromtonya mentioned that she’s working on the Webfonts API An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways.. The API will handle the theme.json JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. webfonts. There are some tickets that need unit/integration tests:
- https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/52252
- https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/47642
- https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/49985
If anyone’s interested in writing tests please leave comment either on Slack or in ticket itself.
