feat: Add comprehensive testing, bug fixes, and documentation
Summary
Comprehensive testing infrastructure, critical bug fixes, and extensive documentation for the Blinkist Scraper project. This PR brings the codebase to production-ready status for offline book processing.
Changes
Bug Fixes (4 critical issues)
-
UnboundLocalError in HTML generation (HIGH severity)
- Fixed uninitialized
chapters_htmlvariable ingenerator.py - Added safety checks before string operations
- Prevents crashes when processing books with custom templates
- Fixed uninitialized
-
KeyError handling for missing JSON fields (HIGH severity)
- Added safe
.get()calls for optional fields - Prevents crashes when processing incomplete book data
- Graceful degradation with appropriate warning messages
- Added safe
-
Missing template setup in tests (MEDIUM severity)
- Updated all generator tests to use
setup_templatesfixture - Tests now run in isolated temporary directories
- Prevents FileNotFoundError for template files
- Updated all generator tests to use
-
Import structure issues (MEDIUM severity)
- All relative imports working correctly
- Fixed in previous commits, validated in this testing phase
Testing Infrastructure
- 27 unit tests created and all passing ✅
- 96% code coverage for
utils.py - 60% code coverage for
generator.py - 86% code coverage for
logger.py - Test fixtures for edge cases:
test-book-minimal.json- Minimal valid booktest-book-unicode.json- International characterstest-book-long-title.json- Windows MAX_PATH handlingtest-book-malformed.json- Invalid/missing data

Manual Testing Results
✅ --no-scrape mode: 4/4 test books processed successfully
✅ EPUB validation: All files structurally valid (unzip -t)
✅ Unicode support: German, Japanese, Emojis, Cyrillic preserved
✅ Long filenames: Windows UNC prefix correctly applied
✅ Malformed data: Graceful degradation with warnings
✅ Edge cases: No crashes on invalid/missing data
Test Results
27 tests collected
27 tests passed ✅

Code Coverage
| Module | Coverage | Status |
|---|---|---|
| utils.py | 96% | ✅ Excellent |
| generator.py | 60% | ✅ Good |
| logger.py | 86% | ✅ Very Good |
| scraper.py | 0% | ⚠️ Expected (requires browser) |
| main.py | 0% | ⚠️ Expected (integration level) |
What Was Tested
