Bug Description

There are at least 2 packages that are designed for downloading videos from websites, youtube-dl and clive, which could be trivially tested by passing them youtube urls and ensuring that they don't explode. I'd imagine there are more packages and web sites which could be tested too.

Brian,
Mago, at this time, may not be best suited for this type of testing. Mago starts up with a lot of overhead for testing desktop apps. We can either add the ability to test command line tools to Mago or write a simplified testing framework.

How do you feel about that?

That makes sense to me perhaps since these are command line applications perhaps this is something checkbox could handle better. In my mind this is really just a nice to have thing and might be a good way to help out upstreams.
