What a fantastic 2nd WebdriverIO meetup yesterday 🙌 I've met the folks with the coolest jobs SAP working on UI5 Web Components and wdi5 & feel very ecstatic to see their excitement on the shadow piercing features coming to v9 😬 Thx Volker Buzek and the rest for being excellent hosts!

looking forward to hosting the rockstar WebdriverIO maintainer crew @[email protected] Wim Selles Erwin Heitzmann, thanks to chieftain Peter Muessig and OpenUI5 🤩

En route to Utrecht 🇳🇱 looking forward to the next days of WebdriverIO awesomeness 🙌 make sure you follow our new events page and join us if you can: webdriver.io/community/even…

Look at Jason Baum 👀 repping the new WebdriverIO shirts 👔 can't wait for mine 😬 get yours on shop.webdriver.io

There are a lot of takes about automated ways to have caught or prevented the xz backdoor sooner, and some things surely could have helped!

None will address the root cause tho - you can’t preserve maintainers’ mental health unless you relieve their capital burden.

Finally we have snapshot testing also in WebdriverIO for not only DOM but also visual snapshotting for web, mobile web AND mobile native 🙌 big shout out to Wim Selles for pushing this out 🚀

Excited to see you all in Bun's HQ later this month!

Excited to host SFNode this month at Bun’s office in San Francisco

Sooo ... WebdriverIO will solve the problem of piercing through the Shadow DOM once and for all 🚀 Super excited about the recent changes that landed in v9 🤯 updates soon!

We are excited to have this month #SFNode 💚 over at Bun HQ with two amazing speakers: Jarred Sumner and Minko Gechev both talking about their projects bun.sh and Angular 😊 Join us and rsvp on meetup.com/sfnode/events/… 👀 see you on March 28th 🙌

I am very much looking forward to this event and excited to see Jarred Sumner and Minko Gechev speak about Bun and Angular .. what a killer line up this month 🤘

📜 Component Testing with SafeTest vs. Cypress vs. WebdriverIO - @[email protected]

The newly released Netflix SafeTest framework was recently roasted by its competitors in 2 detailed articles

Illustrated with React test examples

I second this 👉 I've seen many people using Testing Library together with WebdriverIO to efficiently test components in real browser ‼️

Just ended a rant on Reddit with: '[...] there is no one right tool. Everyone should evaluate which tooling works best for them. Furthermore we as developers should appreciate the diversity of tooling we have and not only focus on one stack while disrespecting everything else.'

I couldn't resist but write a little blog post comparing component testing with Cypress.io , Netflix's new SafeTest and WebdriverIO 👀 bromann.dev/post/safetest-… 🙇 What is your favorite tool for browser based component testing, and why?

Our first month paying out WebdriverIO contributors across our whole ecosystem was a great success 💸 We are excited to welcome a lot of new project members that made impactful contributions 🙏 We are looking forward to the upcoming month and welcome everyone who likes to join!

I missed Nightwatch.js also runs tests within the browser 🙌

Very impressive to see ESLint's transparency around sponsorship and funding 🙌 kudos to the team for being an example project for sustainable #opensource 🙇 Checkout their year in review eslint.org/blog/2024/02/e…
