The Typescript Game
Project Description
Uyuni recently made the switch from Javascript to Typescript. Alas, the team has a very mixed bag of experience with the technology and we could use a way to get everyone up to speed quickly.
One great way to learn new things is through games. There are numerous examples of learning-oriented games in the tech space already: Grid Garden, Flexbox Froggy etc. There don't seem to be any games aimed at learning Typescript, but we could make one!
Goal for this Hackweek
During Hackweek, the aim is to:
- ideate a set of game mechanics that can be used to teach Typescript in an engaging way
- develop a working prototype that demonstrates gameplay, ideally a few levels or comparable
The target audience will probably be people with some prior programming knowledge, but the smaller the resulting constraint, the better.
If the resulting prototype is good, the project can be followed up on after the Hackweek with proper polish, additional levels etc.

The result of the Hackweek is a working prototype that integrates Typescript validation with an editor and gameplay logic. Only had time to build one simple level, but it demonstrates all modules correctly working and how the gameplay works. See https://etheryte.github.io/the-typescript-game/ for a demo.

Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright by oscar-barrios
Description
The goal of this project is to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from using Selenium to Playwright. This migration will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging the modern features of Playwright. The work involves rewriting existing Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript. This will include updating test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. As we also need to move from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.
Goals
- Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
- Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakynes.
- Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS
Resources
- Existing Uyuni Test Framework (Cucumber Ruby + Capybara + Selenium)
- My Template for CucumberJS + Playwright in TypeScript
