Is this still used/maintained at Netflix?

Hi there,

Just stumbled upon safetest and really like the approach.

Was wondering how widely used and maintained it is internally at Netflix before trying to convince the team to adopt it.

Thanks!

It seems to me that https://github.com/kolodny/acto will be the successor?

This was being used by some teams internally at Netflix. The general direction things went since then has been to adapt the vanilla @playwright/test solution. @andrew-the-drawer is correct in that acto is a port of safetest over to Playwright using the dedicated Playwright runner. acto is a much lighter flavor of safetest and leverages Playwright for all the heavy lifting. Migrating should be a cinch since any safetest is also a Playwright test and the same holds true with acto

@kolodny as far as I understand Playwright doesn't currently support stubbing of third party modules (while Cypress does).
I wonder how Netflix does it internally if the direction is to go all in on Playwright, do they simply mock network calls only?

Most times I've seen just mocking network requests
