Discussion: agent-protocol command

[J. Zane Cook]

I think this is good DX. Ultimately I don't think it matters if you need to run pip install or npm i (we might want to have brew installation in the future). The point is that you can now just run agent-protocol and it'll work without anything else.

With the npx tool, we could also instruct users to use npx agent-protocol test --url <url> [...] as well as running npm i and then running it. Speaking of brew, I think we could easily get something running on the Debian/Choco/Arch repositories as well if you wanted to head in that direction.

As far as the design of the agent-protocol command, if I'm not mistaken right now we're only looking at a single command test with the argument --url,-u <url> to run the compliance on, and no other settings, correct? (Besides I would assume, a standard --version,-v and --help,-h)

I talked about using commander.js rather than click, but for the testing is there a specific js testing framework you like to use? If I look up "best alternative to pytest for javascript" I did come across Jasmine but I'm not sure if you wanted to go with that or something more used like Mocha or Jest. I went ahead and made a github comparison, and it looks like Jest takes the cake as far as popularity goes.

For the requests in the test I'll likely use the built-in fetch unless you have an axios preference.

Does that cover all the bases? Am I missing anything?
