Automated UI tests #268

Open dgelessus opened 1 year ago

dgelessus commented 1 year ago

We should try creating some automatic UI tests again. Ideally they should be able to run headless as part of our CI build.

A while ago we had some UI tests based on TestFX, but they were not very reliable (both locally and on Travis CI), so we removed them (hhu-stups/prob2_ui@3b88ca0683582f142ba6b7d4ea740f3799fc8baf, hhu-stups/prob2_ui@989db5df6ec5b8d48710e5c40cb3a55f5bf55f89). We should try using TestFX again and see if it works better now. Although considering that the latest TestFX release is an alpha version and over three years old, we should also check if there are any alternatives that are more actively maintained.
