Is there a service out there that can alert me if a website (and all sub pages) don't have a script on them/e.g. a web dev does some work on a page and uploads new page live but does not include custom / general scripts on it like custom analytics or custom coding for a page etc.

I know theres a services to tell you if a web site is up and running but i need something more specific :)

  • its a simple question. say i have a business website and i have a custom script on say the purchase page that needs to do something when a purchase is made BUT then my designer makes some changes and excludes the custom script from the purchase page. oblivious to this the new page goes live and i lose out on that custom code doing its job. I would want a service to alert me that joeblowcustomcodeX is not live on web page and doing its job ... – user1660961 Sep 10 '12 at 18:45

    Get a better designer? Don't allow access to the file with the script? Create a crawler that checks for the existence of a tag? There are a bunch of ways, but you're going about it wrong. – Paul Dessert Sep 10 '12 at 18:52
  • yeah easier said than done. they are a dime a dozen and the good ones are really rare. I think i will have to get a script done up using something like what was suggested below (http://code.google.com/p/selenium/) and maybe i can sell it as a saas to other people like me, who i know have the same problems – user1660961 Sep 10 '12 at 18:58

The only thing that can even attempt to mimic maybe this a version control software like github or svn

  • yup for sure, but what if i have a host of ecommerce sites with custom scripts across them all? I cant manually check them all daily / hourly to make sure highly specific code is on the page waiting to do its job. I would want an alert saying "OI - joeblowcustomcodeX on ecommerce site Y doesn't exist and because of this will cost you your mistresses xmas present" – user1660961 Sep 10 '12 at 18:49

    I would highly recommend fixing your process, rather than trying to bandaid it with tools. – Tyler Eaves Sep 10 '12 at 18:52
  • sure its easier said than done, i go through designers every couple months and i go through the same story of what to include and what not to when uploading enhanced live pages. Its a losing battle trust me, otherwise i would not be here :) – user1660961 Sep 10 '12 at 18:55

Write your own service to do this? Shouldn't be too hard. Just a fetch + string match.

  • alas, i was hoping there was a custom service out there offering it at the moment as i need to get something like it up and running and i just dont have the time for developing it. – user1660961 Sep 10 '12 at 18:53
  • it wouldnt take long at all to put this together... maybe 15-20 mins on the outside – Joran Beasley Sep 10 '12 at 18:55
  • yeah going to check this out below and put something together - http://code.google.com/p/selenium/ – user1660961 Sep 10 '12 at 18:59

You could create one yourself using something like Selenium WebDriver to scrape your pages and look for the existence of your scripts.
