Integrate Testing System https://www.electronjs.org/spectron

[Roger Qiu]

Spectron seems like a viable testing system. We should have a template for this.

Spectron has some native dependencies. Need to package this in nixpkgs first. Seems like the chromedriver is the main thing here.

[Roger Qiu]

Spectron relies on:

  "dependencies": {
    "@electron/remote": "^1.0.4",
    "dev-null": "^0.1.1",
    "electron-chromedriver": "^12.0.0",
    "got": "^11.8.0",
    "split": "^1.0.1",
    "webdriverio": "^6.9.1"
}

Out of all of that, it seems electron-chromedriver is the one with a native downloaded dependency. So we will need to prespecify it to prevent network access. Relevant issue: electron/chromedriver#78

@gideonairex what testing systems are you using in Polykey?

[Roger Qiu]

Vue testing is currently working. Haven't integrated spectron testing yet.

[Roger Qiu]

We can work with vue testing for now, spectron testing can come later.

[Roger Qiu]

For now we will stick with vue testing until we find a need to use spectron. Spectron requires packaging in Nixpkgs as well to be able to be used and so it will involve some extra work.
