EPIC Automated functional tests

[obscurerichard]

We could use something like cucumber-watir or webdriver.io or maybe even SeleniumBase in the vein of this excellent Stack Overflow answer featuring behave/BDD to build a suite of automated functional tests for freezing-web. We have had issues with things such as package upgrades breaking the software that these would catch.

We should be able to perform automated functional tests of some kind in all of these environments:

• Local development
• In CI, with GitHub Actions
• On the live production site

Related Issues

• Add wget-spider.sh, clarify licensing freezing-web#161 - a super simple functional test wget-spider.sh that is the first baby step towards getting this done.
• Add Docker build freezing-web#256 added a production site live test with test/wget-spider.sh to the live site after deployment via GitHub Actions
• Deploy most of Freezing Saddles site via GitHub Actions for integration tests freezing-compose#57 - which blocks multiple issues:
  • Test with wget-spider.sh on every build freezing-web#390
  • End-to-end test crossing all functional projects #14
• Have action callable from other projects that will execute functional tests freezing-web#408
