undergroundwires ec98d8417f Migrate Cypress (E2E) tests to Vite and TypeScript
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`.

# Tests
There are different types of tests executed:
1. [Unit tests](#unit-tests)
2. [Integration tests](#integration-tests)
3. [End-to-end (E2E) tests](#e2e-tests)
4. [Automated checks](#automated-checks)
## Unit and integration tests
- They utilize [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/).
- Test files are suffixed with `.spec.ts`.
### Act, arrange, assert
- Tests implement the act, arrange, and assert (AAA) pattern.
- **Arrange**
- Sets up the test scenario and environment.
- Begins with comment line `// arrange`.
- **Act**
- Executes the actual test.
- Begins with comment line `// act`.
- **Assert**
- Sets an expectation for the test's outcome.
- Begins with comment line `// assert`.
### Unit tests
- Evaluate individual components in isolation.
- Located in [`./tests/unit`](./../tests/unit).
- Achieve isolation using [stubs](./../tests/unit/shared/Stubs).
- Include Vue component tests, enabled by `@vue/test-utils`.
#### Unit tests naming
- Test suites start with a description of the component or system under test.
- E.g., tests for `Application.ts` are contained in `Application.spec.ts`.
- Whenever possible, `describe` blocks group tests of the same function.
- E.g., tests for `run()` are inside `describe('run', () => ...)`.
### Integration tests
- Assess the combined functionality of components.
- They verify that third-party dependencies function as anticipated.
## E2E tests
- Examine the live web application's functionality and performance.
- Uses Cypress to run the tests.
## Automated checks
These checks validate various qualities like runtime execution, building process, security testing, etc.
- Use [various tools](./../package.json) and [scripts](./../scripts).
- Are automatically executed as [GitHub workflows](./../.github/workflows).
## Tests structure
- [`package.json`](./../package.json): Defines test commands and includes tools used in tests.
- [`vite.config.ts`](./../vite.config.ts): Configures `vitest` for unit and integration tests.
- [`./src/`](./../src/): Contains the code subject to testing.
- [`./tests/shared/`](./../tests/shared/): Contains code shared by different test categories.
- [`bootstrap/setup.ts`](./../tests/shared/bootstrap/setup.ts): Initializes unit and integration tests.
- [`./tests/unit/`](./../tests/unit/)
- Stores unit test code.
- The directory structure mirrors [`./src/`](./../src).
- E.g., tests for [`./src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts`](./../src/application/ApplicationFactory.ts) reside in [`./tests/unit/application/ApplicationFactory.spec.ts`](./../tests/unit/application/ApplicationFactory.spec.ts).
- [`shared/`](./../tests/unit/shared/)
- Contains shared unit test functionalities.
- [`Assertions/`](./../tests/unit/shared/Assertions): Contains common assertion functions, prefixed with `expect`.
- [`TestCases/`](./../tests/unit/shared/TestCases/)
- Shared test cases.
- Functions that calls `it()` from [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/) should have `it` prefix.
- [`Stubs/`](./../tests/unit/shared/Stubs): Maintains stubs for component isolation, equipped with basic functionalities and, when necessary, spying or mocking capabilities.
- [`./tests/integration/`](./../tests/integration/): Contains integration test files.
- [`cypress.config.ts`](./../cypress.config.ts): Cypress (E2E tests) configuration file.
- [`./tests/e2e/`](./../tests/e2e/): Base Cypress folder, includes tests with `.cy.ts` extension.
- [`/support/e2e.ts`](./../tests/e2e/support/e2e.ts): Support file, runs before every single spec file.
- [`/tsconfig.json`]: TypeScript configuration for file Cypress code, improves IDE support, recommended to have by official documentation.
- *(git ignored)* `/videos`: Asset folder for videos taken during tests.
- *(git ignored)* `/screenshots`: Asset folder for Screenshots taken during tests.
