Fixing missing favicon.ico in Ext JS applications.
The original issue is tracked here: https://github.com/conjoon/conjoon/issues/24
I’m not quite sure *when *and *why *it broke, but it looks like production builds of Sencha Ext JS applications do not contain any favicon.ico originally existing in the development build (anymore).
Siesta is a JavaScript unit and UI testing tool originally written by Mats Bryntse which allows for running tests (for Ext JS (view-) components, amongst others) directly in the web browser (or headless in case you want to use it with your ci tools).
It is conjoon’s favorite among the various testing tools out there (we’re also working with Jest🃏 when there’s no Ext JS involved) and without it, it’s clear that End-to-End tests of some of the features and changes that have made it into conjoon would have slowed the project down due to their cyclic complexity — or even worse, make the software stuck in regression.
Creating a custom labeled version of conjoon has never been easier.
The installer (i.e. initializer) for conjoon received an update to make setting up a local installation of the frontend more convenient and more intuitive.
I recently stumbled upon a mean error that was hard to track down. Luckily, the issue was caused by a simple carelessness regarding fully configured response-objects of Simlets used in the dev-environment of the conjoon-project and did not require any large refactoring.
