This PR introduces the first unit test for the ImpactX dashboard, leveraging the SeleniumBase library to simulate a simulation run by a user with the GUI.
Key Features
The unit test runs a simulation using the parameters from the FODO cell example on the GUI. (takes ~1 minute)
The test is considered successful if the simulation is completed without errors.
Issues
Dependency on Running Dashboard:
The current implementation requires the ImpactX dashboard to run in a separate terminal before executing the test via pytest.
Can investigate to potentially have dashboard be launched within the test itself.
Unit test is flaky with passing/failing, unsure if this is due to code error or error in pytest implementation. Need to investigate. Started occurring after the implementation of subprocess.
Adding seleniumbase as a dependency
Unsure where to add. (implemented incorrectly)
Checklist
[X] Implement unit test for impactx-dashboard (testing with FODO cell simulation parameters.
[X] Automate the dashboard launch within the test.
[X] Fix flaky unit test
[x] Include seleniumbase dependency in CI test files
