      Using generators for blocks that are missing the tests/generator/lib.php files should work, for example:

      Given the following "blocks" exist:
        | blockname | contextlevel | reference | pagetypepattern | defaultregion |
        | html      | Course       | C1        | course-view-*   | site-pre      |

      At the moment, there are many blocks that are missing a testing generator and trying to create them in a Behat test throws the following error:

      Component block_XXXX does not support generators yet. Missing tests/generator/lib.php

      However, if you try to implement the generator you will find that you only need to extend the testing_block_generator class without implementing any method or adding anything that couldn't be inferred automatically.

      Keeping that in mind, we could provide a default generator for blocks that don't define their own. If any block still needs specific functionality, we can always implement a specific generator to replace the defaults.
