Hazards
Two frontends are in production at once, and the seam runs between two pages
that look identical. /pulls is served by the legacy frontend: rows are
.js-issue-row, each carrying an id of issue_<number>. /issues is served
by React: rows are [data-testid="issue-pr-title-link"] inside
section[aria-label="All issues"], and .js-issue-row matches nothing.
Selectors written against either list return zero on the other, with no error.
Establish which frontend served a page before reading anything off it.
Half the ids and classes in the document are generated and change without
notice. Ids like #_R_2qbd_ are React node ids and differ between renders of
the same page. Classes like .Primer_Brand__Text-module__Text___XeGJJ are CSS
module hashes and change on every deploy.
The CSS module prefix is stable even though the hash is not. The
Primer_Brand__Text-module__Text___ part comes from the source module name and
survives rebuilds, so [class*="Primer_Brand__Text-module__Text___"] works
where the full class does not. Use class*=, not class^= — ^= matches the
start of the whole class attribute, so it quietly depends on that class being
listed first, which is not something the site guarantees.
Prefer the aria-labeled landmarks to everything else. nav[aria-label="Global"],
nav[aria-label="Repository"], nav[aria-label="Repository files"],
nav[aria-label="Organization"], nav[aria-label="Pull request navigation tabs"]
and nav[aria-label="Pagination"] are written for assistive technology, are
stable across both frontends, and are the only naming on the page that
describes purpose rather than styling.
/:org and /:user are the same URL shape. Nothing in the path says which
you are on. nav[aria-label="Organization"] is present for an organization and
absent for a user.
The 404 page has no h1. Anything that treats "no heading yet" as "still
loading" will wait forever on it. img[alt*="404"] is the positive signal.
nav[aria-label="Repository files"] is on the repo root and not on a blob.
The sidebars look the same. Its absence is the cheapest test for which of the
two you are on.
Method
Mapped signed-out with a real browser against sightmap/sightmap,
sightmap/atlas and the sightmap organization page. Every selector in the
corpus was counted live on the view that declares it.
Screenshots deliberately avoid pull request and issue conversation threads, which carry contributor names, avatars, and their writing.
