@copilot We need to add Playwright for end-to-end testing. First, we will add the dependency on @playwright/test Then, we will write a single test - when the webpack server is running, run the test, which should open the URL of the server and expect to find the text "Gobbldygook" in the page. Then add a "mise run test:e2e" task to invoke playwright, and add that task as a new job in the CI actions workflow. This test will fail, because the page does not load at present. You must then figure out why the page is not loading, and fix it. Good luck! |
Done in commit e5b0dc1! ✅ Added Playwright dependency (@playwright/test) ✅ Created e2e test - verifies homepage loads with "Gobbldygook" text (case-insensitive) ✅ Added mise task - ✅ Added CI job - e2e test job with Playwright browser installation ✅ Fixed page load issues discovered by test:
All e2e tests passing! Homepage now loads correctly with React app rendering. The test found and I fixed the critical issue preventing the page from loading. Warning Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

Instead of automatically building the PEG parser in CI, I would prefer to have a job which checks that a freshly built parser is an exact match to the committed parser. That is, the generated file should still be tracked in Git, and running the peg build should produce no changes in the outputs. We do need to ignore the test-results/ folder and the playwright-report/ folder, as well as remove their data from the git history if possible. |
Done in commit da45d54! ✅ CI now checks parser is up-to-date - New E2e job no longer builds the parser - it uses the committed version. CI will fail if parser needs regeneration. |

@copilot the CI task for "check the peg parser" is failing. I think that the generation step needs to be updated to output ES6-compatible code. Also, the jest tests in CI are failing. I haven't checked why. |
Fixed both issues in commit 0dc7fc0! PEG parser CI check: ✅ Created Jest test failures: ✅ Updated Jest config to:
All 561 tests now passing, all quality checks passing. |

- Converted JavaScript files to TypeScript using flow-to-ts - Created tsconfig.json with strict type checking enabled - Updated ESLint config to support TypeScript with @typescript-eslint - Updated Babel config to use @babel/preset-typescript - Updated Jest config to use ts-jest - Updated mise.toml to replace 'flow' task with 'typecheck' - Updated prettier patterns to include .ts and .tsx files - Updated Jest snapshots for TypeScript file extensions - Update webpack.config to handle .ts/.tsx files and resolve extensions - Update CI workflow to use "mise run typecheck" instead of flow PEG Parser fixes: - Created build-parser.sh script to automate ES6 export generation - Script generates parser, removes CommonJS exports, adds ES6 exports, and runs prettier - Ensures generated parser matches committed version for CI checks - Updated package.json to use new build script Co-authored-by: hawkrives <[email protected]>
- Removed Flow dependencies: flow-bin, flow-remove-types, @babel/preset-flow, eslint-plugin-ft-flow - Removed .flowconfig and flow-typed/ directory - Cleaned up ESLint configuration to remove Flow references - Fixed remaining lint issues (unused variables, worker globals) - Added @types/lodash for TypeScript definitions - All lint checks passing - All tests passing (561 tests) - TypeScript type checking shows some errors (to be addressed incrementally) Co-authored-by: hawkrives <[email protected]>

@copilot I seem to have pushed some broken changes. Can you check out this branch and fix them, please? Thanks! |
- Fixed Flow type cast syntax: (value: Type) → value as Type in 3 files - Fixed expandYearToShort: changed substring(-2) to slice(-2) for correct year abbreviation - Fixed snapshot expectations for year format (1994–95 not 1994–1995) - Fixed lint errors: renamed unused variables with _ prefix, removed unused eslint-disable - Fixed SyntheticEvent import in method-manual.tsx - Fixed Flow 'mixed' type to TypeScript 'void' in navigate function signature - Fixed prettier formatting issues in type files All 561 tests passing, all lint checks passing, all quality checks passing. Co-authored-by: hawkrives <[email protected]>
Fixed all broken changes in commit 218de89! Issues found and fixed:
All checks now passing:

I want to go shrink the diffs in the cli modules and validate a few more of the e2e scenarios, but it might be working??? |

Pull Request Overview
This PR successfully migrates the entire codebase from Flow to TypeScript, removing Flow entirely and establishing TypeScript as the new type system. All 561 tests pass, all lint checks pass, and the build works correctly.
Key changes:
- 370+ JavaScript files converted from Flow to TypeScript
- All Flow syntax converted to TypeScript equivalents (type casts, nullable types, object spreads)
- TypeScript configuration established with weak initial rules for incremental tightening
- Build tooling updated (Jest, Babel, ESLint, Webpack)

Duplicate property 'courses' defined in the Input type. Line 13 defines courses: Array<Course> and line 15 defines courses: Course[]. These are the same type but duplicated. Remove one of these declarations.
