Scoop installed SDODS into Program Files instead of the Scoop apps directory
I maintain an internal bucket and I copied the SDODS manifest as a starting point for another app. Mine keeps landing in the default install directory instead of the one Scoop…
asked by Owen BrackleyHow do I fill a Stripe Elements card field from a feature file?
Checkout uses Elements, so the card number is inside an iframe. The obvious step does not find it: Which is fair enough — it is not in the main frame. I cannot find a frame step…
asked by Owen BrackleyHow do I prove the checkout scenario is flaky instead of arguing about it?
One scenario fails maybe one run in six. Every time I raise it I am told it passed locally, and every time I run it locally it passes, so I am the person crying wolf about the…
asked by Owen BrackleyHow long should we keep .sdods/runs around? It is 40 GB now
Nobody set a retention policy when we turned this on and the build agent is now 40 GB of .sdods/runs, almost all of it step screenshots. I do not want to rm -rf blindly because…

Building a small internal dashboard on top of the MCP server. There appear to be three ways to get at healing data and I cannot tell from the tool descriptions where the…
asked by Zeynep ArslanOur nth-child selectors break every sprint and healing never rescues them
Inherited suite, roughly two hundred locators in this shape: Every time the results list gains a badge or a promo row, a chunk of them break, and they break with HEAL_FAILED…
asked by Tanvi BhattWe renamed one button and 40 scenarios healed in the same run — now what?
Design renamed "Continue" to "Next" on the checkout stepper. Nothing failed. The nightly regression run is green and carries forty-one heal events, all with the same description,…
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 BorgShould I commit the suggested locator from a heal log, or go and find out why?
