Coding⚑

Python⚑

Full screen applications⚑

• New: Testing full screen applications.

• New: Pass more than one key.

  To map an action to two key presses use kb.add('g', 'g').

• New: Add note on how to debug the styles of the components.

  Set the style to bg:#dc322f and it will be highlighted in red.

Pytest⚑

• New: Exclude the if TYPE_CHECKING code from the coverage.

  If you want other code to be excluded, for example the statements inside the if TYPE_CHECKING: add to your pyproject.toml:

  [tool.coverage.report]
  exclude_lines = [
      # Have to re-enable the standard pragma
      'pragma: no cover',
  
      # Type checking can not be tested
      'if TYPE_CHECKING:',
  ]
  

DevOps⚑

Infrastructure as Code⚑

Helmfile⚑

• Correction: Use environment name instead of get values.

  Instead of .Environment.Name, in theory you could have used .Vars | get "environment", which could have prevented the variables and secrets of the default environment will need to be called default_values.yaml, and default_secrets.yaml, which is misleading. But you can't use .Values in the helmfile.yaml as it's not loaded when the file is parsed, and you get an error. A solution would be to layer the helmfile state files but I wasn't able to make it work.

• New: How to install a chart only in one environment.

  environments:
    default:
    production:
  
  ---
  
  releases:
  - name: newrelic-agent
    installed: {{ eq .Environment.Name "production" | toYaml }}
    # snip
  

• New: Add note that templates can't be used inside the secrets.

Helm Secrets⚑

• Correction: Update the repository url.

  The last fork is dead, long live the fork

• New: How to install the plugin.

Operative Systems⚑

Linux⚑

Kitty⚑

• New: Enable infinite scrollback history.

  To make the history scrollback infinite add the next lines:

  scrollback_lines -1
  scrollback_pager_history_size 0
  

• New: Reasons to migrate from urxvt to kitty.

  • It doesn't fuck up your terminal colors.
  • You can use peek to record your screen.
  • Easier to extend.
