yui-runner, what it's for ?

I've released the first public version of yui-runner, a small framework for automating the running of YUI javascript unit tests and reporting of their results.

See https://github.com/lacostej/yui-runner

As the main goal is to be able to run your tests from anywhere, the integration is done thanks to a JUnit runner. This means your tests will run in maven thanks to surefire or in your favorite editor.

An example project can be found under https://github.com/lacostej/yui-runner/tree/master/yui-runner-it/src/test/resources.

The project will soon be available on ibiblio, something I'll blog about.

Note: the API for yui-runner is going to change for more flexibility in selecting the URLs to load.

user.js scripts for browser (firefox & chromium)

I wrote a Greasemonkey script for a friend: Disable keyboard input. As strange as it sounds, the goal is to let someone navigate with a mouse but not use they keyboard to enter stuff. The user suffers Alzheimer's disease.

I found out by accident that chrome also supports firefox greasemonkey user.js. It treats them as extensions. Now chromium doesn't seem to have a GUI to manage the installed scripts, and as it changes the script's file name upon installation, I had to use grep to find the proper file. On linux, that particular installation went under:

/home/jerome/.config/chromium/Default/Extensions/hlikiangigedihjlmhceanglikpccjoi/1.0_0/script.js

Stop the browser, delete the directory and restart the browser to get the extension removed.
