Spectron deprecated since Feb 2022 - new solution for integration testing needed #798

Open tobias-klein opened 1 year ago

Spectron is deprecated since February 2022. The background is explained here.

The currently used version 19.0.0 still works with Electron 17.x, but when moving to future Electron releases the integration test suite will likely break.

Alternative options for automated testing are described here.

When switching to a different test framework it would be nice if we could keep using the existing Cucumber test scenarios.

A very simple alternative could be cucumber-electron, which executes cucumber in the context of Electron.

Just tried to get WebDriverIO running, but failed ... seems quite involved.
