Add `electron-webpack test` command #266

Right now, if I want to run tests, I need to:

install jest (or another test framework)
add manually a babel.config.js in the root folder, so that jest knows how to parse the tests

The 2nd step should be removed.

I'd suggest to do like react-scripts, add a test command, which will run jest with the correct babel config.

Agreed. It's way too painful trying to figure out where the test framework is slipping up. I recently swapped one of my projects from a fully custom setup to using electron-webpack (which went fairly smoothly) but had to do a lot of trial and error to finally discover that the stock tsconfig options don't play nice with Jest out of the box.

What is the correct way to configure Jest so it's most compatible with your electron-webpack settings?

Would love to know as well, currently fighting with all of these components
