this is very complicated to set up with cypress which is probably what I want to go with. will have to reference the CI webcast talk on this page of cypress docs.
However, the snapshot testing will never work since the CI runners are going to be a different operating system with different color spacing than the macOS that I am running the tests and taking snapshots with my local machine. the pixel diff will 100% of the time be different between my mac and the linux CI. I also don't know how to view the diffs within the CI unless there is a place the CI dumps it's directory for me to view the pictures.
For now will just merge back in the cypress tests and the additional tests for the sidebar and theme changing. Will open a separate issue for setting up the CI/CD, not sure what to do about the snapshot testing inside the CI. possibly have to set up the CI with the operating system that I was using to develop the app for the snaphsot testing macOS Catalina 10.15.7.
