Test docs for dead links #1203
Description
Activity
This is in reference to the fact that we used to do it like this right?
var gcloud = require('gcloud'); var dataset = gcloud.datastore.dataset({ projectId: <my project id> keyFilename: <my key filename> });This broke all of my things ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡

[-]Dead datastore links (dataset#createQuery, #runQuery)[/-][+]Dead docs links[/+]on Apr 5, 2016 Catching dead links would be awesome. I'll fix the Datastore links and switch the focus of this issue to creating a step in our build task that catches these for us.
@richardkazuomiller - it was indeed a breaking change: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-node/releases/tag/v0.30.0, but this issue is just about fixing the links in our docs that point to the old

on Apr 5, 2016 Ah, I didn't see that. OK, looks like I have some refactoring to do lol
Sorry about that 😞 Feel free to tag us if we can help!
Sorry @richardkazuomiller :( Definitely feel your pain. We're still in the 0.x phase, so things are much more volatile than they otherwise would be.
@jgeewax No worries. I'll remember to check the releases page from now on (^^ゞ
@richardkazuomiller make sure your package.json has gcloud saved as a safe range. For example, if you have gcloud saved as "^0.29.0", only 0.29.y releases will be pulled down automatically, which won't contain any breaking changes. You'll have to manually install new 0.x releases, and the release notes will call out the breaking changes so you can be prepared.
@stephenplusplus Thanks for the tip. I always set the exact version number I use without a
^or~and don't change it until I know it won't break in production, so go ahead and break all you like (^_-)-☆1 remaining item

Looks like we moved these up a level (to the datastore instance) rather than defining datasets on their own.
Can we do two things:
Fix the dead links?
