Thanks to @ewjoachim 's contributions at last years DCEU sprints. ๐Ÿ…

Django's docs now have more [source] links which now link to the source code on GitHub.

For example, see the BoundField docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/#attributes-of-boundfield

We had another Comcast outage this morning, and I was trying to code something but forgetting the import for the url-joining function. Fortunately I had CPython checked out locally so I could search for it in the docs!!

@ewjoachim@fosstodon.org avatar

@pamelafox I believe even without the source checked out, you can use python -m pydoc urllib.parse (not on a computer to double-check, but it saved my life once or twice)

Looking to have coverage more prominent on PRs for my team. I looked into CodeCov, but I'm not confident it would be worth the expense vs https://github.com/marketplace/actions/python-coverage-comment, which seems to give us the feedback I'd want at this stage. Any other options I should consider for a Django/Python project? Anything I should know about CodeCov or that action before diving in with the GitHub Action? I saw this article about updates to GHA: https://hynek.me/articles/ditch-codecov-python/.

Heads up everyone using my approach to measuring Python code coverage as detailed in https://hynek.me/articles/ditch-codecov-python/ โ€“ GitHub rolled out v4 of upload-artifact that breaks a shitton of workflows including that one.

Do NOT update actions/upload-artifact for Coverage to v4. I have added a warning to the top of the blog post and I will try to come up with a new solution.

Unfortunately, thatโ€™s ANOTHER tone-deaf move by GitHub introducing community-wide breakage & I hope theyโ€™ll see reason & help migrate.

ewjoachim,
@ewjoachim@fosstodon.org avatar

@hynek I see a pattern where both of us saw the impact of the new version on coverage purposes (if you recall, at the time you blogged, I worked on a GitHub action that does the same stuff which I'm maintaining), and the ticket discussing this on the upload-artifact repo was openned by none other than @nedbat (https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/issues/472) Looks like GitHub really has missed realizing how that feature was the only usable way of doing coverage merging. We're ALL screwed.

ewjoachim,
@ewjoachim@fosstodon.org avatar

@hynek I'm the naive one thinking they had no idea pushing multiple times to the same artifact name merged the content, they were probably sure that it overwrote the content so "it probably wasn't used". They didn't bother checking though.

The annoying part, to me, is that such important software should get an alpha release for some time that should get tested by passionate people BEFORE dependabot upgrades everyone. A week might have been enough.

ewjoachim,
@ewjoachim@fosstodon.org avatar

@hynek In case you missed it, they just released a new version of download-artifact that supports patterns and a migration faq: https://github.com/actions/download-artifact/blob/main/docs/MIGRATION.md

@sethmlarson One sanity feature Iโ€™ve set up is a total time limit on all ยซ feed ยป apps like this (including mastodon) on my phone 1h/day, I believe Iโ€™m still generous with 1h, Iโ€™ll probably lower it in the future. Itโ€™s easy to do with an iPhone, I donโ€™t know for Android but I guess too.

ewjoachim,
@ewjoachim@fosstodon.org avatar

@sethmlarson Regarding bluesky, I recently joined. Iโ€™m considering using a mastodon/bluesky bridge so that everything happens in the mastodon app and it will be more seemless but that might mean having to duplicate toots/skeets (lol) etc.

One thing Iโ€™m missing after Twitterโ€™s collapse as a community hub is conference FOMO. Yes, rn is not a great time to gloat about the amazing time youโ€™re having, but itโ€™s been like that all year.

I went to my first PyCon after seeing ppl posting photos and live-tweeting talks all day & I couldnโ€™t take it anymore. We used to mute hashtags!

Now all buzz is siloed away to (usually) Discord & I only notice they happened b/c the reminders of ticket sales stop.

This canโ€™t be good long-term.

@ehmatthes Thanks for writing this article.

https://mostlypython.substack.com/p/dont-start-with-unit-tests

I finally got a E2E test harness up. Your prompting of "think how to test your application from end to end" was helpful. With enough thinking I found a solution that worked really well for us.

ewjoachim,
@ewjoachim@fosstodon.org avatar

@CodenameTim @ehmatthes I like the article but at the same time, I think it misses a point thatโ€™s important to me: the same way writing integration tests early forces you to create a testable project, writing unit tests forces you to write testable code at the low level, and that often means clarifying what your function needs, making your abstractions explicit etc. I think even if you threw away the tests after having written them, your code would benefit from writing them in the first place.

    Iโ€™ve been reflecting on the concept of โ€œseniorityโ€ this afternoon. Iโ€™ve realized that one big thing I look for when Iโ€™m looking to hire someone โ€œseniorโ€ is someone who has made consequential technical decisions, and then had to live the consequences of those decisions.

    Iโ€™ve also realized that I donโ€™t have questions that get right at this in my interview bank. Something to develop!
