build: add Travis job to check for dead URL links by richardlau · Pull Request #27267 · nodejs/node

richardlau · 2019-04-16T20:57:49Z

In the long run we should add tools to prevent this ?
I wonder can https://github.com/JustinBeckwith/linkinator integrate to travis-ci ? (Suggested by @bnb )

Seems easy enough to put together.

This is a proof of concept of running https://github.com/JustinBeckwith/linkinator
on our built HTML docs to find broken URL links. I don't think we want to be
running this for every PR as when I run it locally it checks 900+ links which could
be seen as a denial of service attack if we run it too often.

Also it seems to be flagging some URL's as broken which I appear to be able to
navigate to in web browser (although there does appear to be redirecting going
on). If anyone wants to look into that or adopt this PR then great as I probably
won't be spending much time on it.

Maybe just scanning all.html is a good idea? Or does that just not make a difference?

Can we make it only run when the docs are touched? (Like a make target that depends on docs?)

Can we use the same mechanism that add doc label to PR ?

Added a change that greps the PR's patch diff for *.md files in doc/api and only runs the scan if grep returns something.
For local files linkinator works on a directory level so to scan, say, just all.html would involve moving files into a temporary directory. If someone has time maybe they can run linkinator on just all.html and see how many links it scans.

Looks like some are false positive: https://travis-ci.com/nodejs/node/jobs/193473667#L688.

Like I said in the OP:

e.g. https://travis-ci.com/nodejs/node/jobs/193473667#L688

It seems very weird for a 404 Not Found response page to be redirecting -- There are specific HTTP response codes for redirection.

I think we had trouble with commit message linting before with $TRAVIS_BRANCH which is why we ended up downloading the patch files but I forget the details.

Nice idea, but why not run it in our CI? (I'm thinking it might be a good idea anyway to move out the make run-ci target into a script in ./tools/)?
Also as for the trigger; changes are a good trigger, but even existing links can go stale, so an additional croned trigger might be prudent.

Yeah, it probably makes more sense to run it on our CI. It could be run on the nightlies rather than PR's so that way we won't be hammering remote webservers.
