[question] any idea on how to test these in github actions?

[FranciscoKloganB]

[edit]: I managed to make it work; See reploy to original post.

Locally, on multiple computers of mine (different OS) everything works fine. However, when I run this on CI/CD via github actions, I get this pesky error which I was also getting when I was executing the against a regular chromium app (non-production build).

Getting a little desperate here. The build is available as expected on the out dir, just like locally.

    Error: electron.launch: Process failed to launch!

      21 |   process.env.CI = 'e2e'
      22 |
    > 23 |   electronApp = await electron.launch({
         |                 ^
      24 |     args: [appInfo.main],
      25 |     executablePath: appInfo.executable,
      26 |   })

Hope you have some pointers for me! 🤖

For curiosity, here's a minimum version of my checks-slow.yml (which contains the e2e tests)

A lot of the work on this repository has moved over to the electron-playwright-helpers repository. There's a GitHub workflow over there which shows how to configure a Playwright e2e test.

Sounds like you've got things working. But maybe this is helpful too.
