Bolt Inspect — Documentation

Drupal 11+ module that exposes a site's structure and manages disposable test content for the Bolt CLI test runner. This module is the in-Drupal half of Bolt; the Node.js CLI shells out to it via Drush.

What it does

1. Profile the site (drush bolt-inspect:profile) — emits a single JSON document describing content types, paragraph bundles, fields, menus, media types, enabled and custom modules, accessible frontend routes, representative URLs, and sample referenceable entities. This is the contract Bolt's plugins read to decide what to test.
2. Generate test content (drush bolt-inspect:generate) — creates one unpublished node per content type, populating required fields (and any field referenced by an auto_entitylabel token pattern). Supporting entities (terms, media, files, paragraphs) are created on demand and tracked.
3. Render-check (drush bolt-inspect:render-check) — renders each generated test node in isolation and reports per-bundle status.
4. Cleanup (drush bolt-inspect:cleanup) — deletes everything that was tracked, in reverse creation order. Uninstalling the module also wipes public://bolt-test/ and the tracking state.

The module is designed to leave no traces: tracked-only deletion, state cleared on uninstall, no config entities, no schema changes.

Install (standalone)

composer require electriccitizen/bolt-inspect
drush en bolt_inspect -y
drush bolt-inspect:profile | jq .

In normal use you never install this module directly — bolt init does it from the host project. See the Bolt CLI README for the host-side flow.

Uninstall

drush pmu bolt_inspect -y
composer remove electriccitizen/bolt-inspect

hook_uninstall() deletes the bolt_inspect.tracked_entities state key and recursively removes public://bolt-test/. Run drush bolt-inspect:cleanup first if tracked entities still exist — once the module is uninstalled, the tracker is gone and stragglers must be deleted by hand.
