It seems that one of the weakest aspects of ndg currently is validating the default templates beyond a real human looking at the generating pages, and the rest of us hoping it's enough. As an alternative I'd like to integrate an end-to-end test setup that tests thet entire pipeline. Something like:
inputs (content, config, templates) -> generator binary -> output (HTML, assets) -> HTTP view (browser layer)
Each test should:
- Create a temporary workspace (mock input)
- Run ndg to generate output
- Serve the generated output
- Query the site like a browser would
- Verify HTML, links, and metadata
