What's the recommended testing framework to use with IDOM? Looking to implement it in timeflow. |

In short, I think the recommendation is to use an async web driver like playwrite, IDOM does provide some testing utilities of it's own, but this relies on the sync Selenium web driver. I plan on changing this soon though because synchronous web drivers present some problems. I'm not really sure when this work will be done though as it will probably be quite sweeping in its impact. |

Sounds good, thanks for the quick answer. I'll try them out and see if I can get something working. |

@liberty-rising, I just found playwrite which seems to be much better maintained than either arsenic of pyppeteer. Assuming it works I think this is probably what IDOM's test suite will use. |

@rmorshea ahh it looks much better. Thanks for letting me know, I'll see when I could get the time to migrate our testing to playwrite in that case. Cheers! |

only issue I see with playwrite is that tests are in js, while we are building apps in python |

In short, I think the recommendation is to use an async web driver like playwrite,
arsenic, orpyppeteerto run UI automation tests. I'll and put together a code sample at some point that uses one of these tools, or if you need something sooner, feel free to book a slot during office hours.IDOM does provide some testing utilities of it's own, but this relies on the sync Selenium web driver.
