Repository navigation
Testing tutorials link to a repository structure that no longer exists #6815
Description
Checking every external link in this manual turned up 8 dead GitHub links, all
in the testing tutorials. They are not ordinary link rot — the referenced
repositories were restructured, so the tutorials describe a setup that is no
longer there.
Documentation/Testing/Tutorial/Enetcache.rst
Seven links point into the styleguide extension. The repository moved from
TYPO3/styleguide to TYPO3-CMS/styleguide (GitHub redirects that part), but
the paths are gone:
| Line | Link | Status today |
|---|---|---|
| 509 | Build/Scripts/runTests.sh |
no Build/ directory; no runTests.sh anywhere in the repository |
| 510 | Build/testing-docker/docker-compose.yml |
same |
| 756 | Tests/Acceptance/Support/BackendTester.php |
Tests/ contains only Functional and Unit |
| 758 | Tests/Acceptance/Support/Extension/BackendStyleguideEnvironment.php |
same |
| 814 | .github/workflows/tests.yml |
no .github/workflows directory |
| 881 | https://github.com/TYPO3/styleguide/actions |
— |
| 325 | typo3/typo3 → Build/testing-docker/local/docker-compose.yml |
the Core has no Build/testing-docker any more |
Documentation/Testing/Tutorial/Acceptance.rst
Line 169 links to site-introduction/tree/main/Tests/Acceptance/Support. That
repository has no Tests/ directory; Build/ contains only
DownloadSitePackage.
Why this is not just a link fix
The links sit inside the instructions themselves ("Next, we run another
iteration of runTests.sh and docker-compose.yml …"), so repointing the URLs
is not enough — whoever knows the current testing setup needs to check whether
the tutorials still describe a workable path.
Verified against the GitHub API on 2026-09-10. Nothing in CI catches this:
rendering does not fetch external URLs.
