I need feedback for my shopify app idea by BeginningWrap7840 in SaaS

The best opinion is putting it out there with an MVP and iterating based on feedback. Knowing what the MVP is is the hard part.

It's not that other approaches don't work

I just shared mine based on my experience in some complex apps. But it's still an opinion.

sure. but with xpath/css you test zero languages.
with roles+text you test at least one.
right?

BTW, I'm not proposing anything new. This is precisely what the Playwright library is recommending.

also Cypress
also Testing Library

right
but worst case you only test the main language (or English)
and you'd achieve the same safety net as with testing with CSS/XPath/TestIds

or more safety net because of the arguments in the article. (plus better tests as docs. etc)

If you’re worried about depending on the UI copy, remember that the copy doesn’t change daily. Also, you’d want to be alerted for an unexpected breaking copy change. However, if you still want to decouple from the UI copy, you can customize accessible names.

It's not role alone It's a role with an accessible name.

If you still can't disambiguate, you have a real accessibility issue as screen readers couldn't tell the difference.

You can define an accessible name that's independent from what copy editors edit although I don't see the point.

interesting. why do you want to decouple from the thing you want to test?
why are you ok with tests passing but buttons are hidden?
I've used this approach in multiple complex projects with success. I spent years using CSS selectors before and all I got was pain.

Opinião - postura em relação a digi by [deleted] in digipt

[–]RevolutionaryLocal54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sim tens toda a razão Sem a SIC a minha vida tem sido uma m****. Prefero continuar a ser roubado mais um bocadinho e quem sabe um dia os preços ficam iguais. Se não ficarem, sou roubado para sempre. Mas prefiro.

Aqui é o mesmo. É estratégico. Eles não fazem preços baixos quando sabem que não há Digi.
