+Feature: Hedge for if nodes come in over the API with no ID
+  Scenario: A node list with some missing IDs
+    Given 1 datacenter model with the value "dc-1"
+    And 5 node models from yaml
+    ---
+    - ID: id-1
+      Node: name-1
+    - ID: ""
+      Node: name-2
+    - ID: ""
+      Node: name-3
+    - ID: ""
+      Node: name-4
+    - ID: ""
+      Node: name-5
+    ---
+    When I visit the nodes page for yaml
+    ---
+      dc: dc-1
+    ---
+    Then the url should be /dc-1/nodes
+    Then I see name on the nodes like yaml
+    ---
+      - name-1
+      - name-2
+      - name-3
+      - name-4
+      - name-5
+
+@ignore
+  Scenario: Visually comparing
+    Then the ".unhealthy" element should look like the "/node_modules/@hashicorp/consul-testing-extras/fixtures/dc/nodes/empty-ids.png" image
