[Draft] Update on script npm run generator:test:cli

[Adi-204]

While running npm run generator:test:cli the script does not throw any errors but results in the following output:

The last package update introduced the deprecation of ag. If no task are executed by the script should we proceed with removing this script from package.json and the documentation, or are there any team discussions/plans regarding this?
Please provide feedback and explanation.

@derberg sir can you please provide feedback thanks : )

hey, the fact that we deprecated cli do not mean it is removed - cli test should be invoked - it is simple cli run - but should run afaik. Did you try to investigate why it doesn't run? maybe we have an error in turborepo config?

@derberg sir on investigate I found a PR https://github.com/asyncapi/generator/pull/1315/files in which the test:cli was removed
from apps/generator/package.json link - https://github.com/asyncapi/generator/pull/1315/files#diff-d6d2118910ac9ca291d509fa9f637faf7a33d983b0dc1707663f48efe54f5974

ah, ok, as it was using the deprecated CLI
we probably need to figure how to do this using AsyncAPI CLI, maybe with npx 🤔

[Adi-204]

@derberg Sir, could you please provide more details about the approach so that I can add value in resolving the issue?
From my understanding, the cli.js file contains code for the deprecated ag CLI, and we have now transitioned to the AsyncAPI CLI. This implies that we are no longer directly testing the cli.js file. Instead, are we planning to run tests directly on the AsyncAPI CLI, as shown below?
"test:cli": "npx @asyncapi/cli ..."
However, this approach does not actually test the code of cli.js file.
Could you please explain thanks : )

However, this approach does not actually test the code of cli.js file.

very good point. Just that the cli test was not there really to test the cli itself, but rather test generator in most extreme integration test possible. Now yes, problem is that on a CI level, when we run cli test, it is not really testing the current generator, but the last one available in AsyncAPI CLI

and because of above, I agree with you, please complete the removal of CLI test command - it really should be removed
