## Generating Examples in Schema
The `tests/autogenerate-rpc-examples.py` test script regenerates RPC examples for methods defined
in `doc/schemas/lightning-*.json`. These examples are located at the end of each schema page,
detailing `shell` and `json` request formats along with their corresponding `json` responses.
The script utilizes the pytest suite to automate this task by running a test, `test_generate_examples`,
that sets up test nodes, records RPC requests, and captures responses. Any new RPC command's examples
should also be included in this scripts. This test only executes example generation if `GENERATE_EXAMPLES=True`
is set, preventing accidental overwrites from unrelated tests.
The `tests/autogenerate-rpc-examples.py` test script regenerates RPC examples for methods defined
in `doc/schemas/lightning-*.json`, if the environment variable `GENERATE_EXAMPLES` is set to 1.

4. Run `make` after the script completes to ensure schema updates are applied in other places too, such as `...msggen/schema.json`.
