Description

Description We do not have a link checker in place at this time. Some tools that may be useful:

Ask Create a script that can be run on the command line to crawl the links in the application and ensure they are not broken.

Extra Credit: Configure this script to run before and after deployments.

To Do

  • Investigate crawling libraries
  • Build crawler
  • Test command line crawler
  • Connect crawler to CI (optional)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing crawling libraries such as rawler or link checker, then create a command line script to crawl the site and check for broken links. Optionally integrate with CI pipeline.
