As expected sticking to a weekly schedule for these is harder than I thought and there’s not always something interesting going on so instead it’s turning into an as and when. With that in mind, recent things:

• Playwright It’s still early days for me and Playwright and due to the way that I’m setting up some things to make them applicable to testing via Playwright I’ve not spent as much time with it as I would like to. But from from I have seen it’s quite straightforward and does what I need it to do.
• WCFCore WCFCore has been a blessing and a curse. It’s possible a lack of understanding for the library on my part but fragile is the best way to describe it when it comes to getting things working. I’m mainly using it to get a mock WCF service running in .net 8 so that I can bypass having to run something in IIS and start the process from within a test application. Ideally I wouldn’t have to spool an external application to mock, and could do it within code itself, but legacy apps being legacy apps this isn’t always possible.
