In their own words
axe-playwright
axe-playwright adds axe-core accessibility checks to Playwright tests. Its commands can inject and configure axe, check a page, retrieve results or violations, and report findings. Checks can cover a whole page document or a selected DOM context such as a selector. Options support axe.run settings, impact filtering, detailed reports, and verbose output; an optional setting logs violations without failing the test. The integration works with Playwright’s Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit browsers. Reporting options include terminal output, a v2 terminal format, HTML, and JUnit. The project shows configurations for WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.2 AA, best-practice, and EN 301 549 tags, and lists WCAG 2.2 coverage. Installation uses axe-playwright and Playwright as npm development dependencies. axe-core is bundled, so a separate installation is not needed. The package is distributed under the MIT License. It is available for Linux and web, with CI/CD integration. The project says it is not formally affiliated with Deque Systems, though it uses axe-core with permission.
GHCup
GHCup is a free, open-source installer and version manager for the Haskell toolchain. It installs and manages GHC, cabal-install, Haskell Language Server (HLS), and Stack versions; Stack can also be configured to use GHC versions managed by GHCup. Listed functionality includes a terminal user interface and GHC cross-compilation. Installation guidance covers terminal commands for Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, and WSL2, alongside PowerShell instructions for Windows. The project describes Windows support as being in an early stage and uses a shim wrapper because Windows does not properly support symbolic links. On macOS, GHCup may prompt for command line tools; Windows setup includes msys2. The installer should be run as a non-root user on Unix-like systems and a non-admin user on Windows. GHCup relies on precompiled binaries, so compatibility can depend on the distribution and libraries such as libtinfo. WSL1 and macOS versions earlier than 10.13 are unsupported. Some ARM binaries are experimental: Stack and HLS on Linux ARM, and HLS bindists on macOS aarch64. Configuration can be stored in ~/.ghcup/config.yaml, with command-line options taking precedence.
