@korny yeah, and if you saw what happened to his other modules... there's a reason we adopted tentacles

korny07:03:15

I'm a heavy user of the fs module - has anyone taken that over?

jjl07:03:48

yes, and then immediately deprecated it 😕

jjl07:03:56

i think we'll probably take it over too

jjl07:03:09

if time allows

jjl07:03:25

that module in particular cannot be allowed to rot - so much depends on it

korny08:03:04

yeah - it has some uglinesses in it (which people probably depend on!) but it's also very handy for basic things.

jjl08:03:45

right. i don't personally like the api for doing complex things, but it's so widely used!

I'm a bit out of wack this morning as I'm travelling down to London this morning whereas I'm used to travelling down on a Monday.

korny09:03:51

on the subject of abandoned repos - anyone know if there's a replacement for clj-webdriver? I'm a bit worried about these things going fallow, also - not good for the community. Not that I've had the time to help with any of them lately 😞

jjl09:03:48

@korny haha, already forked it a few weeks ago and planning to catch up on it soon

Morning folks. Am looking forward to the JUXT full-stack training next week! 🐥

yogidevbear12:03:08

There's someone in #jobs-discuss that is asking about on-site training. Time zone is UTC so might be worth popping your heads in there if you offer this type of service

@korny we wrote all our UI tests with clj-webdriver. It depends on a now ancient version of Selenium, and most of the browser drivers have stopped working locally.

lsnape17:03:04

It’s a real shame it’s not maintained any more. It’s a very useful lib, albeit unglamorous, which I guess is why no one wants to work on it!

lsnape17:03:09

We are trying to write more cljs unit tests to make up for it. There’s also this, but not used it in anger yet: https://github.com/bensu/cljs-react-test

lsnape17:03:42

I think writing tests with cljs-react-test and running them in different js environments with doo gives you a lot of what selenium offers

seancorfield20:03:57

We rely heavily on clj-webdriver too. We only use it with Firefox (39.0) and Selenium 2.47.1. I don’t know what we’ll switch to when that all breaks with an update. But we’re replacing our old web app with a new React.js front end and that’s being tested in a different way (different team so I’m not sure of details). If we were likely to stay with Selenium / WebDriver, I’d probably step up to maintain clj-webdriver… that’s usually how I end up maintaining a library 😐
