This commit progresses the migration from Vue CLI to Vite (#230).
TypeScript migration:
- Convert JavaScript Cypress tests and configurations to TypeScript.
- Introduce `tsconfig.json` for Cypress, following official
recommendation.
Test execution:
- Use Cypress CLI to run the tests.
- Rename Cypress commands to reflect official naming conventions.
- Start Vue server prior to Cypress execution, using
`start-server-and-test` package based on official documentation.
- Remove dependency on Vue CLI plugin ((`@vue/cli-plugin-e2e-cypress`).
Configuration standardization (based on Cypress docs):
- Delete unused `plugins/` directory.
- Move test (spec) files to to the root directory.
- Add official ESLint plugin (`eslint-plugin-cypress`).
Changes for importing `vite.config.ts` into `cypress.config.ts`:
- Add TypeScript import assertations to files importing JSON files.
- Use ESM friendly way instead of `__dirname` to solve `ReferenceError:
__dirname is not defined in ES module scrope`.
Other changes:
- Simplify comments in placeholder files.
- Create Cypress specific `.gitignore` for enhanced maintainability,
clarity and scalability.
- Remove redundant `vue.config.cjs`.
As part of transition to Vue 3.0 and Vite (#230), this commit
facilitates the shift towards building rest of the application using
Vite. By doing so, it eliminates reliance on outdated Electron building
system that offered limited control, blocking desktop builds (#233).
Changes include:
- Introduce Vite with Vue 2.0 plugin for test execution.
- Remove `mocha`, `chai` and other related dependencies.
- Adjust test to Vitest syntax.
- Revise and update `tests.md` to document the changes.
- Add `@modyfi/vite-plugin-yaml` plugin to be able to use yaml file
depended logic on test files, replacing previous webpack behavior.
- Fix failing tests that are revealed by Vitest due to unhandled errors
and lack of assertments.
- Remove the test that depends on Vue CLI populating `process.env`.
- Use `jsdom` for unit test environment, adding it to dependency to
`package.json` as project now depends on it and it was not specified
even though `package-lock.json` included it.
Configure project to use ES6 modules to enable top-level await
capabilities. This change helps project to align well with modern JS
standards.
- Set `type` to `module` in `package.json`.
- Use import/export syntax in Cypress configuration files.
- Rename configurations files that do not support modules to use
the `.cjs` extension:
- `vue.config.js` to `vue.config.cjs` (vuejs/vue-cli#4477).
- `babel.config.js` to `babel.config.cjs (babel/babel-loader#894)
- `.eslintrc.js` to `.eslintrc.cjs` (eslint/eslint#13440,
eslint/eslint#14137)
- `postcss.config.js` to `postcss.config.cjs` (postcss/postcss#1771)
- Provide a workaround for Vue CLI & Mocha ES6 modules conflict in
Vue configuration file (vuejs/vue-cli#7417).
