an integrated and ready-to-use solution with package.json containing a test command, a configuration file of vite, and the boilerplate almost described here https://dev.to/lotes/comment/2aiog or in the post
Not only DSL developers will enjoy a testing facility out of the box and ready-to-use, but it will enforce best practices, and not forcing developers to dig into the API/documentation.
I am seeing it as a "feature" of the langium generator, and perhaps a flag or a configuration option somewhere should be introduced to generate or not testing facilities.

Hi,
