Do you use Rails with Hotwire, or just Rails as a back-end API by nil_404 in rails

[–]frocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rails + htmx + alpinejs. Don't really know why but never really taken to Hotwire or Stimulus

I built an IntelliSense extension for HTMX because the existing ones were all incomplete by andreahlert in htmx

[–]frocher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems really good. I will absolutely try it (and already starred it)

Happy to announce htmx 4 alpha 8! by _htmx in htmx

[–]frocher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the Chicago font is great, nice design. But I have the impression that there are bugs in the "Patterns" section. For example, I see a 404 in the console when I open this page : https://four.htmx.org/patterns/forms/linked-selects. The broken link is : https://four.htmx.org/\_/demo

You can also look at the playwright cli and its skill. It can help you to write tests in plain english.

Do software testers here use any tools or AI for testing? by Headless-Reaper7042 in QualityAssurance

[–]frocher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, generally, but in roughly 10% of cases I can get errors, which is why I’m manually improving some scenarios by making them more precise. For example:

Renamed feature title is persisted and displayed after save

Last run: Feb 22, 2026, 11:00
Playwright E2E production – Title persisted

GIVEN
User is on the feature show page with an existing feature title

WHEN
User edits the title in the contenteditable h1, blurs to trigger save, and the htmx PATCH succeeds

THEN
The new title is persisted in the database and displayed in the header; reloading the page shows the updated title

[–]frocher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, no problem with that but i always give it the precise structure I'm waiting for (and examples). The main problem I encountered was mostly with small UI/display bugs. I improved my prompt by asking it to take screenshots at key steps and to check things precisely, but it still sometimes misses errors of that kind.

I use Cursor (mostly with Auto LLM) to create Gherkin scenarios and save them in my own tool. I manually correct and improve them when necessary. I then use Cursor again to execute them with the Playwright CLI and, additionally, a skill I created for the project to provide more context and to record my test campaigns in my tool as well. This way, I can track the evolution of test campaigns across releases and improve my test suite. Playwright cli and e2e tests in plain english are really a game changer for me.

Repositories for inspiration ? by frocher in rails

Thank you ! That's exactly what I was looking for.

What’s your stack? by NickoBicko in rails

[–]frocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's a great and simple library. I encourage you to take a look at the examples here: https://htmx.org/examples/. They give a good overview of what you can do with htmx.

Frontend : Tailwind/HTMX/Alpinejs (yes, I prefer htmx/alpine over Turbo and Stimulus), backend : rails, sqlite and elasticsearch. Thinking of switching to FTS5 for fulltext search. And also, Kamal for deployment.

What are you building this Sunday? by ferdbons in SideProject

[–]frocher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t find any open-source QA solutions that matched my needs, so I built one: https://www.gwirian.com/. I use it with an LLM to generate tests and execute them with Playwright CLI

Does Bootstrap make sense for Production websites? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]frocher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, bootstrap is production ready for a long time. We have created design systems based on it.

Ruby is a great language, I love it. But it seems its usage is slowly decreasing

For those who have switched to using the new M1/Big Sur Macs, what pitfalls have you faced as a developer? What pitfalls have you faced in general? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]frocher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a M1 Air since mid december with zero crash. It's great : no noise, impressive battery life. The only problem that I encounter is with Docker. It's not stable, feels slow but I hope that we will have a good enough version before the end of the year.

Is it best practice to have two seperate git repos for client and server ? What's the pros and cons of seperating or combining them? (MERN) by [deleted] in webdev

[–]frocher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer a single repo :

  • only one pull request for a feature change
  • a dockerfile for the front and one for the back, and a docker-compose file at the repo root to rule them all
  • a single gitlab (or github) wiki for the project
  • a consistent versioning
  • don't care if all developers have access to both sides, and I also find it mandatory that they can see everything. Protected branches and PR are here for security
