On April 11, 2023 at 16:00 UTC , <test-chat> started on #core-test.
There was no agenda preceding the chat.
Announcements 📣
- What’s new on Learn WordPress in March 2023: A rundown of the latest updates from the Training Team.
- Proposal: The Interactivity API – A better developer experience in building interactive blocks: Check out this project to provide WordPress extenders with a common set of methods to add frontend interactions to blocks.
- FSE Program Exploration: Build a block theme: In this latest #fse-outreach-experiment call for testers, approach block theme development with a design mindset, using only the editor and available tools (no code!) Accepting feedback through April 26, 2023.
Focal Groups 🧪
@ironprogrammer re-introduced this section as pertaining to Test Team discussions from 2021. Because contributorship has changed a lot since then, he asked that contributors interested in representing a particular focal group reach out to @boniu91 or @ironprogrammer (himself). He also noted that the team can adjust the focal groups to align with current needs, particularly if it would help inspire greater collaboration.
E2E
@oglekler noted their positive experience with Cypress, an open-source testing tool which uses Mocha and jQuery, and can be run headless. @ironprogrammer asked if it was compatible with the current WordPress E2E standard, Playwright, and suggested that discussion with other E2E contributors be held to discuss further.
@ironprogrammer suggested that a follow-up Make/Test post be considered to gauge interest on possible focal group rep interest, particularly for E2E.
Test Handbook
@ironprogrammer gave a brief update on the Test Handbook, noting that a new Contributor Day page was under final review. The page will provide new Test Team contributors a good place to start at WordCamp events. He encouraged contributors to share the page at future WordCamp Contributor Day events, and to raise suggestions for improvement in the #core-test channel, or to create a PR in the handbook’s official GitHub repo.
Next Meeting 🗓
The next scheduled meeting is on April 18, 2023 at 16:00 UTC for <test-triage> in #core-test.
