One more, as a little treat

Wanderland is a context engine with three out of the box drivers:

- HTTP via Rack
- CLI via Commander
- [Test via RSpec] <=== YOU ARE HERE

One YAML file, three runtimes, zero excuses for not testing your code

The same configuration file that powers your API runs your tests. And you can mix and match - it's just middleware. Set a header and the output of your live command will be shaped matched against whatever expect scenarios your route defines that strike your fancy.

Because why shouldn't your test cases let you test production? What else were they for?

Wanderland :: for when you really, really, really need to get out of jail with someone who likes an audit trail

[if you've been doing this long enough, you might know what I'm talking about]

One YAML, three drivers, zero problems proving what you touched and when

[you ain't touched it last, you ain't broke it]

X-Wanderland-Trace exposes what we're keeping anyways back to the caller, there's no secrets when everything is signed into a capstone sealed Merkle DAG

X-Wanderland-Verify runs one or more embedded scenarios, the same ones the --type test runs through RSpec during development

Wanderland :: for when you really, really, really need to be sure it still works the way you expect it to, and need receipts

`wanderland-core` is a context engine that mounts routes in an isomorphic manner across multiple drivers, including Rack, Commander and RSpec

You might ask why such a thing exists. You might not be a Platform Engineer if you do.

When you're building tools, why repeat yourself? You know someone's going to want it to run locally, and someone else is going to want an API. InfoSec are always wanting audits and testing for compliance sign-off and 2am always wants a better way to debug production.

One YAML. A bunch of boundaries. As many tools as you want.

API, CLI, Tests. Human or otherwise

Flip a switch and enable inline validation of any tool response, with the same test suite you used to develop it.

Neat

🧦 PIPPI - Pipeline Inspector and Interactive Processor Interface 🧦

That is a lovely thing to have done

We've got a session browser now

In Wanderland, fences are first class functions

In Wanderland, ```pipeline fences chain fences into background executions

In Wanderland, ```graphnode fences chain fences into foreground executions

They all execute in the same session provider now. Each execution tracked in lovingly event sourced detail.

Edges are friends not foes

Caching is just a matter of pointing to the appropriate session

[git checkout yesterdays-run]

Nice

Now we can play an entire game of goose pong in a web page (if we remember to turn off caching first that is, otherwise it's a lot of ping without any point)

Well hello there Ms Cache, how are you today?

Unified execution context is a lovely piece of machinery

All fence executions are cached, regardless of caller. All come through the same door, first guy in lights the stove, everyone else takes their boots off and basks in the warmth of a cache it

Nice

Fences cached, pipelines hit the fence cache

Oooh... I accidentally a thing

I'm really supposed to be deprecating this version of the engine, but I kind of want to finish it first

That's about as good as caching needs to be before I can say "I've got caching"

Captures the operation, level, parameters, edges and output

Traces capture cache_check, execute, cache_store

Between that and the session management we built yesterday, I think it's time for that IDE
