Description

These tests were created back in 2015 and at some point they broke without actually signalling that they did. I want to get off this awful ecosystem of tools and onto something sane. Ideally something written in Go, but I'd take something written in TypeScript too.

The new tests must:

  • Use a client generated from our swagger.json
  • Exercise a reasonable amount of the gateway behaviour (at least equal to the current tests)
  • Use a minimal amount of NodeJS and the NPM ecosystem

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing headless browser tests, locate swagger.json, and understand gateway endpoints. Then implement new tests using Go's httptest and the generated client.
