analyze put a URL out of my gitignored .env.local straight into the generated env yaml
Ran analyze on an app I had just been given, applied the proposal, opened the result and found this in projects/portal/envs/local.yaml: That value is not in any tracked file. It…
asked by Helle Borg352 ·sdods mcp install claude dies with claude mcp add failed and writes nothing
On a locked-down work laptop: I do not have write access to that file and IT will not change it this quarter. Does the hint actually help me, or is it just a different way to fail?
asked by Helle Borg352 ·What do the columns of sdods heal report actually mean?
I get a table with description, original, occurrences, succeeded, strategy and suggested. Most of it I can guess. Two I cannot:
asked by Helle Borg352 ·Four environments, same app — how should base URLs be laid out so nobody copies the wrong one?
We are moving off a home-grown runner where the base URL was a giant switch statement in a helper. Four targets: a stack we bring up on the laptop, a shared dev box, staging and…
asked by Helle Borg352 ·@jira:demo12 must look like PROJ-123 — what patterns do the issue tags accept?
Two errors from the same commit: I get that the second one wants a number. What is wrong with demo12? Our board key really is lowercase in the URL.
asked by Helle Borg352 ·Dataset table needs env.db in envs/staging.yaml — which database is it asking for?
Added a db dataset for our reference data: Works on local, fails on staging: We already have a database configured — DATABASE_URL is set in CI and sdods db status is happy. So…
asked by Helle Borg352 ·My page object needs a signed-in session before goto() — where does the login belong?
Every one of our scenarios opens with the same three steps: go to login, fill two fields, submit. Then the real scenario starts. It is slow — about four seconds a scenario across…
asked by Helle Borg352 ·Is there a dry run? I want to see what -t and -m select before I wait ten minutes
Writing a new pipeline step and I keep guessing at the selection, running it, waiting, and finding out I was wrong. Twice now the wrong thing was "it selected nothing", which is…
asked by Helle Borg352 ·How much disk does a full SDODS install actually need?
I have to justify this on a laptop with a small SSD and a quota I did not choose. Before I ask for more space I would like a real number rather than "a few hundred megabytes".…

Our brand indigo measures 4.47:1 on white — do we have to change the brand?
Audit finding we cannot argue our way out of. The brand colour is an indigo that measures 4.47:1 against white, which is under the line by a hair, and it is used for links, for…
asked by Paulo Mendes97 ·If we wire an accessibility checker in ourselves, why does everyone insist on human triage?
We accepted that the tag does nothing and we are adding our own step, so we will shortly have a machine-readable list of violations per page. The advice I keep getting is "do not…
asked by Tanvi Bhatt126 ·Two documentation pages say opposite things about @a11y. Which one should I believe?
Not a bug report, a request for a ruling, because I have to tell a client which it is. The guide describes a hook that runs an accessibility pass after each UI step, violations…
asked by Rasha Halabi572 ·Tagged a scenario @a11y and it went green in four seconds — how do I tell if axe ran?
Added @a11y to two existing scenarios expecting them to get slower and probably to fail, because the pages in question are not good. Both passed, in about the same time as…
asked by Koen Vermeulen309 ·perf.budgets validates and resolves, and a nine-second page still passes. What am I missing?
Project yaml: Environment override, and a process that asks for the gate: shows perf.budgets.pageLoadMs resolving from envs/staging.yaml, so the plumbing is clearly there. But a…
asked by Anouk de Vries238 ·Uninstalled SDODS and got almost no disk space back
Ran the uninstall and it reported success: It removed the install root and the command. But df barely moved. I was expecting most of a gigabyte.
asked by Anouk de Vries238 ·Team-wide setup for keeping credentials out of the repo — what actually works day to day?
We are onboarding six more testers and the current answer is "ask someone in chat for the staging password". I would like to write down one way of doing this that survives…
asked by Anouk de Vries238 ·Lint says the accessibility step is undefined, but the step library reference lists it
Copied the scenario straight out of Accessibility and performance budgets: The phrasing is identical to the table in the step library reference, down to the quotes. What am I…
asked by Chandra Pillai873 ·What is the accepted way to delete the records a scenario created?
Our regression suite has left about nine hundred posts behind in the sandbox and the list endpoint is getting slow. Right now the deletes are in an after-hook in our own step…
asked by Thom Vasseur5,470 ·config show --explain says envYaml for a value that came out of .env.staging
The documented layer names include dotenv, but standardPassword is only in the yaml as a ${VAR} and its actual value comes from .env.staging. Why does the row say envYaml and not…
