Unit Tests

pytest tests/ --tb=short

Integration Tests (Live Web)

pytest tests/test_integration.py -m integration

Integration tests make real HTTP calls to sites like example.com.

Add pytest.ini for markers:

# pytest.ini
[pytest]
markers =
    integration: mark tests as integration

📄 Output Format

Every page section is saved as a structured object:

{
  "content": "Text content here...",
  "metadata": {
    "section": "About Us",
    "source_url": "https://example.com/about",
    "extraction_time": "2025-07-14 12:34:56"
  }
}

📚 Logging

Logs are written to both terminal and file:

• logs/info.log: general operations

• logs/general.log: warnings, summaries

Terminal output is rich-colored with emojis and timestamps.
