Why ? During my daily job I have sometimes to debug failed openqa test jobs. One of the testing mantra is to reproduce the issue and for that task the openqa community has developed some tooling. In practice, I often have some output like this one below from some job cloning operations: Cloning parents of sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit 1 job has been created: - sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16425390 Cloning parents of sle-15-SP5-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit 1 job has been created: - sle-15-SP5-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16425391 Cloning parents of sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit 1 job has been created: - sle-15-SP4-Server-DVD-Updates-x86_64-Build20250112-1-fips_ker_mode_gnome@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/16425392 And when I want to monitor those jobs, I’d need to copy-paste all the job URLs and pass them as arguments to the cool openqa-mon utility which will show and notify me of the job status in the terminal. ...

🎄 Intro After a very interesting and fun SUSE hackweek, as every December since some years, I took part to Advent of Code. First of all, I wish to thank Eric Wastl because he’s giving us every year a great and unforgettable advent-ure. [image source: Reddit u/edo360 ] ✨ What’s Advent of Code ? More than just a countdown to Christmas, AoC is a joyful game that invites developers of all age and levels to sharpen their problem-solving abilities and coding skills. Like a virtual advent calendar, AoC presents a new programming puzzle each day from December 1st to 25th. These puzzles are often deceptively simple at first glance, but they quickly unfold into intricate challenges requiring clever algorithms and efficient code. ...

Intro Since 2015, GoLab is one of the oldest and most renowned conferences about the Go Programming Language ecosystem in the world, attracting a large audience of Gophers from all over the globe. My bad, I forgot to take a picture of the t-shirt 🤷 In recent years, the organizers hosted some of the biggest names in the industry who have shared their insights and experiences with our attendees. ...

🤓 Intro Manual testing of GUI applications can become tedious and error-prone as features and complexity increase. Headless testing offers a solution by automating UI interactions without the need for a physical display. This approach allows for faster test execution, improved repeatability, and seamless integration with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. In this post, we’ll explore how to leverage pytest-qt, a powerful framework for headless testing of PySide/PyQt applications. ...
