Hi folks
While writing these tests I've noticed we are missing DOM ids for many
elements, most significantly buttons in various dialogs and the detail
view. I have been adding semantically descriptive ids to buttons as I
need them, which I'll make sure to check in in more-or-less their own
checkin.
Matthew mentioned in IRC that the lack of DOM ids is actually a matter
of policy rather than oversight, so I wanted to give an opportunity
for any concerns regarding these changes to be addressed. In the
future I believe it would be a good idea to provide semantically
descriptive ids to all DOM elements we create in the UI. This will
make writing windmill tests for the UI much easier for people not
familiar with our code base.
