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 By doing so, it eliminates reliance on outdated Electron building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.
- Add automation script for building, packaging, installing, executing
and verifying Electron distrubtions across macOS, Ubuntu and Windows.
- Add GitHub workflow to run the script to test distributions using the
script.
- Update README with new workflow status badge.
- Add application initialization log to desktop applications to be able
to test against crashes before application initialization.
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).
