World First: Test Tracing

[eandre]

We're very excited to announce something the world's never seen before (probably): Test Tracing!

With Encore v1.31.0, encore test now automatically captures a trace of every test, providing much more visibility into what's happening and making it easier to understand why a test failed.

The test traces automatically include everything you expect from Encore's automatic tracing:

• API calls (including mocked calls with Encore's new mocking support!).
• Database queries
• Pub/Sub messages
• HTTP requests
• ... and so on

And best of all: it works with all your existing tests.

Upgrade to Encore v1.31 to try it out: encore version update

✨ Local Development Dashboard Enhancements

We've made several quality-of-life improvements to the local development dashboard. These enhancements include the ability to view all Encore apps via the local dashboard, regardless of whether they are currently running or not. We've also made several UI improvements to the dashboard, including displaying request logs when an API call is made, notifications when the app is compiling, and notifications when the app has just restarted.

📆 Roadmap

We're currently pushing to get TypeScript support out the door and hope to release the first general availability in the next few weeks. We've also been working on some smaller features based on your comments on Slack which will drop in the next few days: cloud cost insights and the ability to pause and trigger cron jobs from the Cloud Dashboard.

Check out the roadmap and leave your comments!
