Test Links workflow always fails

[MikeMcC399]

• The .github/workflows/test-check_links.yml fails permanently.

• This is due to https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-website/issues/3475

Suggestion

Since it was decided to no longer maintain links, the workflow will always fail.

The suggestion is to disable the workflow

https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-website/blob/f46176e9c2c76876ea45bb8cf9aba3a13569541f/.github/workflows/test-check_links.yml#L10-L12

Thanks for your suggestion @MikeMcC399. We've disabled the workflow for now.

The organization needs to make a decision about which pages on the website will be maintained and which pages are allowed to have errors. I have some ideas about how to modify the Cypress tests for this, so let me know if you want some assistance. So long as the website continues to operate, it should use Cypress to help maintain as much quality as is necessary.

Thanks for offering your assistance! We also think that Cypress tests should continue to operate as much as possible. What we're thinking of is only checking FAQ entries that are not declared as outdated.

You also have to consider blogs which will age and over time some of their links can also be expected to fail.
