Okay took a tiny bit of fiddling, but I got the working files back in working state, and got my tests passing again.
oh look at the time

Sharing so it’s easier for me to remember: #justfile recipes can take splat arguments.
Means I can do

writing a test to ensure that no unlinked files go into my site build (kinda important when you have private notes mixed in with the public brain) and couldn’t figure out why it keeps failing on this file and uh oh right because that file’s not linked by any of my pages
good job me

@jack oh hey you might have a suggestion for this: using pytest’s --pdb flag to launch the debugger on test fail — print debugging is awkward for examining large lists — and I was wondering if there’s a friendlier debugger, with a pytest plugin perhaps?

Nothing critically private sitting there unlinked that I was able to find. Just 50 or so stray images that have been coming along for the ride in the last several iterations of the site.

I made a change, expecting my tests to fail. And they did. In the way I expected them to.

Probably not going to do anything with it long-term, but having a little fun with CSS background-image.

@adamchainz improvements to pdb would definitely be appreciated. It’s not the worst debugger experience I’ve had, but it contrasts with the rest of the Python experience.
