create automated integration tests that invoke the new project wizard via the forge/generator REST API and assert that the created projects work

ideally we'd have 2 kinds of system test:

• using something like selenium to drive the actual web console
• talking to the obsidian/forge REST API directly

Which then creates a project using each of the quickstarts/wizard options and then asserts that

• the git repo + openshift project is created and the pipeline completes successfully
• a user then makes a git commit + push somehow (I guess ideally via Che but for now could just be via git) and then assert that a 2nd pipeline is triggered and it completes successfully

Upstream on the fabric8 project we used a slightly different distro of forge + forge addons and have these system tests here:
https://github.com/fabric8io/fabric8-forge/tree/master/fabric8-forge-rest-client

we just need to migrate them to

• use the new forge-service / obsidian REST API. I wonder if the obsidian folks have something for this already?
• use the new obsidian wizards

The code to do asserts on builds completing and whatnot should be similar; though we could just use the OpenShift APIs for all that now via the OpenShiftClient checking the project is created - via the BuildConfig and that the Build starts and completes OK and tails the log etc.

James - can you assign this issue to me? Thx!

done! I can give you a hand on how to migrate that test over to the new forge API & wizards if you like

fwiw I've started putting a little REST / Java client for testing forge/obsidian/generator commands here: https://github.com/fabric8io/forge-service-client

Hoping to have a project wizard test case soon...
