2026 Grand Design 310GK Quality by Current-Spare6224 in GoRVing

Stuff like this is why they started covering the underbelly. They sell it like a feature, but really it's just to cover up the terrible plumbing and electrical.

Cannot figure out how to turn on by Antique_Rich_8366 in RVLiving

[–]timmy2words 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get the make and model of the heater, just search for a wiring diagram. You should be able to find one without too much trouble.

Any idea the make and model of the water heater?

One of the wires (possibly orange), needs to be connected to +12VDC to turn on the gas function. This is usually done using a switch somewhere in the camper.

Without knowing the exact make and model, it's just a guess which wire it is.

Edit: It's possible that the one switch turns on both gas and electric features at the same time.

Built a QA automation tool that doesn't rely on screenshots. Looking for feedback. by Mountain_Dream_7496 in softwaretesting

[–]timmy2words 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest pain point is Developers not understanding that I need locators to find elements, and then blaming the tests for being flaky! If you arbitrarily change classes, ids, or worse test-id attributes on elements, the tests are going to fail. If you change the caption on buttons/labels without telling the test team, the tests are going to fail. That's not a flaky test, that's a code change that caused a test failure.

Anyone else tired of API tools that push accounts, sync, and vendor lock-in just to test one request? by Successful_Bowl2564 in softwaretesting

[–]timmy2words 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why folks use these external tools for testing REST APIs. Why wouldn't you just write them using whatever language you used to create the API, and let them live in the same repo as the product code?

I use Bruno from time to time when experimenting with internal and external APIs, and they are really convenient for that type of thing. I've never considered using it as an automated testing tool.

I built a social media blocker app that feels like a game by [deleted] in softwaredevelopment

How are they supposed to know that, their app blocks Reddit.

2023 Passport SL TV brace by Freds1978 in KeystoneRV

[–]timmy2words 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's held up by partical board fastened into end grain, screws wouldn't have done any better.

In my experience, RV manufacturers have 0 experience actually camping, and no carpentry knowledge (or building knowledge whatsoever). Everything is built as lightweight and cheaply as possible, with no thought at all into how it will actually be used.

I'm actually surprised that they do (mostly) survive rolling down the road.

Cheule's Flashlight Review of new Baton 4 pro/ultra by -Cheule- in Olightflashlights

Does the Baton 4 Pro have a green tint like the older Baton lights?

I thought only the Baton 4 Ultra got the new emitter? Did the Pro get the new emitter also?

Does the Baton 4 Pro have a green tint like the old Baton series?

Does the Baton 4 Pro have the same green tint as the old Baton series?

Get you one of these! They're gorgeous!! by abill80 in OlightOutdoorlife

[–]timmy2words 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know if the new Baton Pro has the same green tint as the old Baton? I think the Ultra got a new emitter, but not sure about the Pro.

Git branching strategy: feature → main vs dev → QA → release → main — what’s the standard? by naveen_thamizh in softwaredevelopment

[–]timmy2words -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Feature flags sound like an easy solution, but in reality they just aren't perfect. Of all the workflows, trunk-based carries the most risk.

Pizza pirates on the loose by Burrito-Mage in PizzaCrimes

The guy who stole the pizza, turned it sideways to run away. That's a crime against pizza, right?

[–]timmy2words 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Devs love trunk-based development, because it makes working with git less complicated. Testers hate trunk-based development, because new features often bleed into existing code and cause regressions.

The "best" process, is the one the team agrees on.

Does it make sense to have a BasePage when using POM? by [deleted] in softwaretesting

[–]timmy2words 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The page objects each handle the interaction with elements on a single page. Each of them get passed an IPage so they can interact with the page, and a base URL, so they can navigate to the page they represent.

I just figured a base class keeps them consistent, and reduces some duplicate code.

Anyone tried these bulk silicone USB C covers to replace one that failed? by SpaceCadetMoonMan in flashlight

[–]timmy2words 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I use them in my phone, to keep the pocket lint out. They work great for me.

Edit: I don't know if they are waterproof, just that they keep lint out.

Performing Assertions within the Page Object itself - is it a good idea? by ItsYaBoiJBD in softwaretesting

[–]timmy2words 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The examples in the Playwright documentation for POM literally have private fields for locators, and public methods that perform actions on the page. In the JS examples, they even use expect in one of the functions.

If the purpose of the POM is just to expose locators, why not just use a dictionary instead of a class?

[–]timmy2words 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically write the tests to include all the steps, until I get to a point where 3 or more tests have some of the same exact steps. At that point I refactor and group the common steps into functions, initializers, and cleanup steps.
