rod VS agg

I have tried the following. 1. Login to Okta via browser programatically using go-rod. Which I managed to do so successfully, but I'm failing to load up Slack as it's stuck in the browser loader screen for Slack. 2. I tried to authenticate via Okta RESTful API. So far, I have managed to authenticate using {{domain}}/api/v1/authn, and then subsequently using MFA via the verify endpoint {{domain}}/api/v1/authn/factors/{{factorID}}/verify which returns me a sessionToken. From here, I can successfully create a sessionCookie which have proven quite useless to me. Perhaps I am doing it wrongly.

I usually find libraries by googling them or searching awesome go on GitHub, for selenium/puppeteer I've always found go-rod useful and easy in every way, Sometimes I also Google "X in Nodejs for Golang"

I recently tried out https://github.com/go-rod/rod. I think it's based on chromedp (so, Chrome dev tools and headless browser) but it also has code to download and run a supported version of Chrome that doesn't interfere with your local browser.

One of the dependencies is `rod`[0], which is a web scraping/automation library, and I believe requires a browser to work. I don't know what they're using it for though as I haven't looked at the code (and I'm not familiar with Go anyways).

I don't have personal experience, but https://github.com/go-rod/rod is far more active than chromedp

asciinema to record the terminal and then agg to convert that to gif.

I wrote a blog post[1] breaking down tools to record terminal sessions just a couple weeks ago. I wasn't aware of this particular one but it looks like it's going to have issues with recording anything that requires user input.

My post describes how to make high quality recordings of terminal sessions that can be replayed in the terminal, or shared on the web. I'm defining high quality as recordings with zero typos, and relatively controlled timing between commands.

I'm going to assume this works well because all the stuff from Charm seems to, BUT its limitations are ... problematic. I think the techniques i list in the post combined with agg[2] or gifcast[3] to covert it to a gif would be a better solution for non-trivial cases.

I'll add notes about agg and gifcast to the post this evening hopefully.

Now, we need to generate the animated gif file. The tool to this job is the might agg - asciinema gif generator.
