This commit addresses occasional pipeline failures caused by transient
network errors during dependency installation with `npm ci`. It
centralizes the logic for installing npm dependencies and introduces a
retry mechanism.
The new approach will attempt `npm ci` up to 5 times with a 5-second
interval between each attempt, thereby increasing the resilience of
CI/CD pipelines.
This commit adds a new script `npm-install.js` with `npm run
install-deps` command to centralize npm dependency installation process
throughout the project. Separate testing of scripts to a separate
workflow.
It removes unused `install` dependency from `package.json`.
- Move external URL checks to its own module under `tests/`. This
separates them from integration test, addressing long runs and
frequent failures that led to ignoring test results.
- Move `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to `tests/checks` to keep all
test-related checks into one directory.
- Replace `ts-node` with `vite` for running
`check-desktop-runtime-errors` to maintain a consistent execution
environment across checks.
- Implement a timeout for each fetch call.
- Be nice to external sources, wait 5 seconds before sending another
request to an URL under same domain. This solves rate-limiting issues.
- Instead of running test on every push/pull request, run them only
weekly.
- Do not run tests on each commit/PR but only scheduled (weekly) to
minimize noise.
- Fix URLs are not captured correctly inside backticks or parenthesis.
