Create a test (or series of tests) that verifies that each of the examples loads in the current project.

This should prevent problems like #1504 from happening.

Thank you for filing this, Brent. This is a solid preventive measure — having automated validation that all examples load correctly would catch issues like #1504 before they reach users.

Triage Assessment:

The intent is clear and valuable: create tests that verify each example in the project loads without errors. This directly prevents regressions where examples ship with missing required fields or incorrect identifiers.

Items needed to fully conform to CONTRIBUTING.md format:

  • Metadata section: Please add a commit message first line (e.g., test(examples): add validation tests for all example files) and branch name (e.g., test/validate-example-loading).
  • Subtasks checklist: Suggest:
    1. Enumerate all example files in examples/ that should be validated
    2. Write integration test(s) using Robot Framework that attempt to load each example
    3. Ensure test failures produce clear messages identifying which example failed and why
    4. Verify all existing examples pass the new tests (fix any that don't, or file separate issues)
  • Definition of Done: e.g., "An integration test exists that validates every example file in examples/ loads without errors. All existing examples pass. CI runs this test as part of the standard pipeline."

Label observation: This issue currently has three conflicting state labels: State/In progress, State/Unverified, and State/Verified. Per the project's ticket lifecycle, an issue should have exactly one State/* label at a time. This needs to be resolved — please confirm the correct current state so the conflicting labels can be cleaned up.

Relationship to #1504: This issue is a natural follow-up to #1504 (fixing the specific broken examples). It would make sense for #1504 to be completed first (fix the known broken examples), then this issue adds the preventive test infrastructure. Consider whether this should depend on #1504.

Label compliance fix applied:

  • Removed conflicting labels: State/Unverified, State/Verified
  • Reason: Issue had three conflicting State/* labels. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, each issue must have exactly one State/* label. State/In progress is the most advanced active state and was retained.

MoSCoW classification: MoSCoW/Should Have

Rationale: Validating that all examples load correctly is a quality gate that prevents regressions like #1504. The specification includes example configurations, and ensuring they work is important for user trust and documentation accuracy. This is a testing improvement that improves quality but doesn't block core functionality. Should Have.
