How do I test Livebooks in CI/CD?

There is no such option right now. Our goal is to have an export to Elixir script option, so you can get only the code out, and we can make it available via the command line. Then you can invoke it, execute it, and match on the result.

You should also be able to replicate this by getting the .livemd file and extracting the Elixir snippets. It shouldn’t be hard.

Any progress on that?

Not yet but if someone wants to work on this, please let us know.

I’ll probably need that, so I think I’ll just use a markdown parser to extract the code snippets and concatenate them together. Should be easy unless I’m missing something

Sharing a bit of feedback on this: I’m faced with an increasing number of situations where I have multiple livebooks in one repository, so brainstorming a bit how to ensure consistency at the PR, CI/CD level.

Typical needs I’m facing at the moment:

• ensuring that file paths are not broken (quite easy by parsing the .livemd, but indeed a “–check” CLI option would be lovely)
• ensuring that the code (some being shared between livebooks when it’s generic enough, some being specific) does not break (for this I currently extract livebooks code into proper components, and reduce the code present in the livebooks themselves to the minimum)

Happy to bounce ideas with others here!
