Description

[!NOTE]
Moved from rstudio/platform-team#412

Context

Workbench images have goss tests but coverage could be expanded, particularly for session images and IDE-specific functionality.

Current goss test templates

Current coverage

Tests check: users, groups, packages, ports, processes, files, and commands.

Potential expansion areas

  • IDE session startup and readiness
  • VS Code / Positron extension installation verification
  • R, Python, and Quarto runtime integration within sessions
  • TinyTeX installation verification
  • Session-init sidecar container readiness
  • Launcher integration (Slurm, Kubernetes plugin checks)
  • Multi-user and home directory configuration
  • Workbench license activation and status

Related: #458 (centralize common goss patterns)
