Just a quickie tonight. Part of the reason for writing anything in Java is its ability to run on many devices. Before I move on from Java to dotnet and C# there are a couple of things to complete. In principle it should be no problem to call gradle to run my tests on both Linux and Macos. I’m going to cheat a little with Linux by running on Ubuntu on the Windows Subsystem for Linux. While we are at…
As promised, this time I am taking a look at the support that is offered for JUnit 5 now that we are more than 6 months past the official release of JUnit 5. If you have read through the process of developing this test suite, you will be aware that I had to use JUnit’s own JUnitPlatform Gradle plugin to run my test suite. This works just fine, but it is clunky, requires a LOT of code and most frustratingly…

On many websites there are reusable panels that appear on many pages. Many are repeatable blocks within a page and are used in lists such as the article summaries on the homepage.

After looking at it this week I have managed to understand where my difficulties lie and and implement a solution that works. I’m still not really happy with it, but its enough to be able to get going on…

Over Christmas, in between working through CheckStyle hell I had a play around with adding Opera to the list of browsers available on my grid. I know its kind of pointless as being based on the same engine as Chrome, but it is one of my favourite browsers so I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve made a few incremental changes to my grid…
