This commit introduces several improvements to the macOS update process,
primarily focusing on enhancing security and reliability:
- Add data integrity checks to ensure downloaded updates haven't been
tampered with.
- Optimize update progress logging in `streamWithProgress` by limiting
amount of logs during the download process.
- Improve resource management by ensuring proper closure of file
read/write streams.
- Add retry logic with exponential back-off during file access to handle
occassionally seen file system preparation delays on macOS.
- Improve decision-making based on user responses.
- Improve clarity and informativeness of log messages.
- Update error dialogs for better user guidance when updates fail to
download, unexpected errors occur or the installer can't be opened.
- Add handling for unexpected errors during the update process.
- Move to asynchronous functions for more efficient operation.
- Move to scoped imports for better code clarity.
- Update `Readable` stream type to a more modern variant in Node.
- Refactor `ManualUpdater` for improved separation of concerns.
- Document the secure update process, and log directory locations.
- Rename files to more accurately reflect their purpose.
- Add `.DS_Store` in `.gitignore` to avoid unintended files in commits.
Improve the revert process for Firefox settings by extending
modifications to also include `prefs.js`.
- Validate profile directories similarly to execution script.
- Check and warn if Firefox is running during revert to prevent
`prefs.js` from being overriden.
- Clarify output messages for execution and revert scripts.
- Add flowchart diagram for visual documentation.
- Improve documentation for consistency and precision.
- Update `.gitignore` to account for temporary draw.io files.
This commit makes the build process more robust, simplifies
configurations and reduce the risk of incomplete or erroneous
deployments.
- Centralize output directory definitions by introducing
`dist-dirs.json`.
- Add `verify-build-artifacts` utility to ensure correct build outputs
and `print-dist-dir` to determine distribution directory.
- Add steps in CI/CD pipeline to verify build artifacts.
- Migrate Electron Builder config from YAML to CJS for capability to
read JSON.
- Fix `release-site.yaml` failing due to pointing to wrong distribution
directory, change it to use `print-dist-dir`.
- Improve `check-desktop-runtime-errors` to verify build artifacts for
more reliable builds. Ensure tests fail and succeed reliably.
- Update `.gitignore` and configure ESLint to use it to define and
ignore build artifact directories from one place, remove
`.eslintignore` that does not add anything after this change.
- Keep `"main"` field in `package.json` as `electron-vite` depends on it
(alex8088/electron-vite#270).
- Improve documentation
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`.
Move existing documentation to `docs/development.md` to have simpler
`README.md` but more dedicated and extensive documentation for
development.
Improve existing documentation for different commands for the project.
Document VSCode recommendations in `extensions.json` file and add
exception in `.gitignore` to be able to add it to repository.
