Verify Site Build

Verify that recently added entries in the 11ty Bundle build output rendered correctly by parsing the static _site directory. No browser required.

Step 1: Resolve what to verify

• Argument: $ARGUMENTS
• If empty or latest: verify entries with the highest issue number in bundledb (default).
• If today, yesterday, or a YYYY-MM-DD date: verify entries matching that date.

Step 2: Build the site (always fresh)

First, kill any existing server on port 8080 to ensure a fresh build with the latest data:

lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill 2>/dev/null || true

Then start a new Eleventy build:

cd /Users/Bob/Dropbox/Docs/Sites/11tybundle/11tybundle.dev && npm run latest

Run this via the Bash tool with run_in_background: true. Then poll until the server is ready:

python3 -c "
import urllib.request, time, sys
for i in range(20):
    try:
        urllib.request.urlopen('http://localhost:8080', timeout=3)
        print(f'Server up after {(i+1)*3} seconds')
        sys.exit(0)
    except Exception:
        time.sleep(3)
print('Timeout waiting for server')
sys.exit(1)
"

If it doesn't come up after 60 seconds, report the failure and stop.

Step 3: Run verification

Run the verification script from the social-posting project directory:

• Latest issue (default): python3 -m services.verify_site
• By date: python3 -m services.verify_site YYYY-MM-DD

The script parses _site/index.html and _site/showcase/index.html to check:

• Blog posts: title present in "From the firehose" section, favicon file exists
• Sites: title present in "Recent sites" section, favicon file exists
• Sites on showcase: card found, favicon file exists, screenshot file exists
• Releases: title present in "Recent releases" section

Starters are excluded — they sort by GitHub modification date, not by bundledb date.

Step 4: Commit and push on success

If verification failed, skip this step.

If verification passed (exit code 0), check for changes in the 11tybundledb repo first:

cd /Users/Bob/Dropbox/Docs/Sites/11tybundle/11tybundledb && git status --porcelain

If the output is empty, report "No DB changes to commit" and skip the commit.

If there are changes, commit and push:

cd /Users/Bob/Dropbox/Docs/Sites/11tybundle/11tybundledb && git add -A && git commit -m "New entries saved" && git push

Step 5: Report

Print the verification output and git result. The verification script produces the formatted report.
