Description

Currently no tests cover RDoc#generate which means we're not testing:

  • The file generation logic
  • The output message of doc generation

To test it right, we need to make sure we generate the documentation in a isolated place (e.g. a temp folder) and the files must be cleaned up after each test run.

Research direction

Locate RDoc#generate and the existing test structure first. Add end-to-end coverage for file generation and the documentation output message, using an isolated temporary folder and cleaning generated files after each test run.
