Jekyll-Test

jekyll-test is a highly opinionated test configuration for Jekyll sites to let you create well-formed sites with minimal configuration, built on top of html-proofer.

It provides two rake tasks:

jekyll:check will test your site for HTML validity, internal link correctness, alt tags, OpenGraph validity, https usage, and a load more. It will complain about as much as it can. You want this to pass.

jekyll:check_external_links will check all outgoing links as well. This is a separate task as this often fails due to network errors, etc, and you don't want to depend on it passing. Use it for information only.

Requirements

• Ruby 2.5 or higher (ruby -v to check version)
• Bundler (gem install bundler if it's not there)

Usage

Add jekyll-test to your site's Gemfile (or just create the file with the following content if it doesn't exist) and run bundle:

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem 'rake'
gem 'github-pages'

group :test do
  gem 'jekyll-test'
end

Then add this to Rakefile (or create a file with just this in it if you don't have one):

require 'jekyll/test/tasks'

We suggest making jekyll:check your default task by adding this line to Rakefile as well:

task default: "jekyll:check"

You can then run rake and bingo, your site will be tested with html-proofer.

Travis configuration

To configure a travis build to run these tests, run:

gem install travis
rake jekyll:configure:travis

This will initialise your repo for use on travis, if necessary, then write a multi-build configuration which will run both checks together. The link check is allowed to fail, so it will not impact your CI success / failure.

WARNING: This will aggressively overwrite bits of .travis.yml, so if you already have one, make sure it's committed or backed up so you can check the changes.

It's a good idea to run the task with each new release of this gem to get the latest configuration.
