get-graphql-schema

TIL
Opt-in integration tests with pytest --integration
— For both [s3-credentials](https://github.com/simonw/s3-credentials) and [datasette-publish-fly](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-publish-fly) I have a need for real-world integration tests that actually interact with the underlying APIs (AWS or Fly) to create and destroy resources on those platforms.

— Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Common Raven, in San Mateo County, CA, US
TIL
Using the undocumented Fly GraphQL API
— [Fly](https://fly.io/) has a GraphQL API which is used by some of their own tools - I found it while [browsing around their code](https://github.com/superfly/flyctl/blob/603b0adccf5416188eabaa7dc73f9c0ec88fa6ca/api/resource_volumes.go#L5-L40) on GitHub.
TIL
Linking from /latest/ to /stable/ on Read The Docs
— [Read The Docs](https://readthedocs.org/) has a handy feature where documentation for older versions will automatically link to the latest release, for example [on this page](https://docs.datasette.io/en/0.56/spatialite.html):
TIL
Promoting the stable version of the documentation using rel=canonical
— I was thinking about documentation SEO today. Like many projects, Datasette offers multiple versions of the documentation:
TIL
Pixel editing a favicon with Pixelmator
— I wanted to [add a favicon](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1603) to Datasette, using a PNG image served from `/favicon.ico` as suggested in [this article by Adam Johnson](https://adamj.eu/tech/2022/01/18/how-to-add-a-favicon-to-your-django-site/).
TIL
Helper function for pagination using AWS boto3
— I noticed that a lot of my boto3 code in [s3-credentials](https://github.com/simonw/s3-credentials) looked like this:
TIL
json_extract() path syntax in SQLite
— Several of the [SQLite JSON functions](), such as `json_extract()` and `json_array_length()`, take a path argument. This uses custom syntax along the lines of `$.a[2].b`, as described [in the documentation here](https://sqlite.org/json1.html#path_arguments).
TIL
Streaming indented output of a JSON array
— I wanted to produce the following output from a command-line tool:
TIL
JavaScript date objects
— A few notes on JavaScript `Date` object, based on trying to do some basic things with them in Observable notebooks.
TIL
Configuring Dependabot for a Python project
— GitHub's Dependabot can automatically file PRs with bumps to dependencies when new versions of them are available.
Release
datasette-graphql 2.0.1
— Datasette plugin providing an automatic GraphQL API for your SQLite databases
TIL
Testing a Click app with streaming input
— For [sqlite-utils#364](https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/issues/364) I needed to write a test for a [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com/) app which dealt with input streamed to standard input. I needed to run some assertions during that process, which ruled out the usual [CliRunner.invoke()](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/8.0.x/testing/) testing tool since that works by running the command until completion.
TIL
Writing pytest tests against tools written with argparse
— I usually build command-line tools using [Click](https://click.palletsprojects.com/) (and my [click-app](https://github.com/simonw/click-app) cookiecutter template), which includes a really nice [set of tools](https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/8.0.x/testing/) for writing tests.

— Northern Elephant Seal, Brewer's Blackbird, in Año Nuevo State Reserve, CA, US
TIL
Adding a CORS policy to an S3 bucket
— Amazon S3 buckets that are configured to work as public websites can support CORS, allowing assets such as JavaScript modules to be loaded by JavaScript running on other domains.
