Changelog

Lots of JavaScript package upgrades have been made to the frontend of howtocodewell.net including TailwindCSS, PostCSS, Webpack and Node itself.
I’ve decided to use PostCSS over Less and I’m seeing much faster results when generating the CSS
The plan for next week is to look at composer package upgrades as well as progressing with the staging deployment
In my contracting space I have been doing a lot of PHP 5.6, 7.4 and Angular work

How to speed up Cypress tests
In general

Discover how slow your tests are to start begin with
Don’t speed up your tests if you don’t need too
Work on the tests that take the longest. List all tests that take over x seconds/minutes and work on those
A small improvement can give you big gains in the long run
Only test what you need too and when you need too

Cypress

Group similar tests together into a single test
Separate tests that don’t need state, change of state or require a fixed state
Pay attention on the before and beforeEach hooks
Disable the video and screenshot creation on automatic builds
Enable video and screenshot creation on manual/nightly builds
