PhoenixTest v.0.5.0 is out! 🥳 Lots of changes. My favorite: experimental assertion `timeout` option that waits for async operations (and handles redirects). Less visible work (but sooo valuable) -- work to allow for a playwright driver. 🤯 (huge thanks to @ftes.de 🙌) 👉 hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test...
Changelog — PhoenixTest v0.5.0

From upcoming @elixir-lang.org 1.18 > For example, you can invoke IEx.configure(auto_reload: true) and IEx will automatically reload modules changed elsewhere, either by a separate terminal or your IDE. This is beautiful! 😍 #ElixirLang
The first barebones version of a Playwright driver for PhoenixTest: hexdocs.pm/phoenix_test... Give it a drive, run your feature tests in a browser. And please let me know what doesn't work. I'm very grateful for any feedback 🙏 #ElixirLang #MyElixirStatus

AoC Day 8. Lesson the day is to carefully read the instructions. I completely misunderstood the rules and while the logic was correct, what to count was not and I tried adding way too much caching for no reason. Over complicated things. gist.github.com/joeytrapp/33...

AoC Day 7. This one went surprisingly quick. I know there’s a refactor in there for arbitrarily sized trees, but fixed tuples worked well enough. gist.github.com/joeytrapp/4f...

AoC Day 6. Got stuck on this one last night. First implementation of part 1 made part 2 way more difficult. Reset everything this morning and tried again. gist.github.com/joeytrapp/eb...

AoC Day 5. Lesson learned with this one is that the std library is good and I don’t need to solve everything with recursive functions. It was getting too complex and when it came to sorting, I got lost. Rewrote with lists:map and lists:sort and it all worked out gist.github.com/joeytrapp/a5...

AoC Day 4. I don’t think I did this efficiently. Also intended to use persistent_term to store the grid and spawn processes to handle checking horizontal, vertical and the two diagonals concurrently, but things have come up. gist.github.com/joeytrapp/dc...

AoC day 3, I wanted to focus on using binary pattern matching and using that to parse the content and derive the answers. I’d love feedback if there are techniques I’m likely not aware of yet! #Erlang gist.github.com/joeytrapp/85...
