Upgrade ember-electron from 4.2.2 to 6.0.0

Description

Upgrade ember-electron from 4.2.2 to 6.0.0. In preparation for electron upgrade

As per changelog, it is safe to upgrade.

🎟️ Jira ticket

UPDATE: We change the goal from ember-electron v7 to v6. After reproducing some issues and debugging, ember-electron v7 does not support ember < 4.8 and we are using ember 4.12. So for pragmatism we decided to upgrade to 6. Once the ember upgrade is complete, we will review this dependency.

How to Test

• Pipeline test run.
• Run Desktop e2e suite.

Looking at the ember-electron changelog I agree it looks safe. Also I think the other @electron-forge/* have already been merged here, so this PR is really just ember-electron.

Thaks for the feedback. That is correct, this PR initially was a branch from the electron-forge upgrade, now pointing to main, Since electron-forge changes have been merged.

Still working on a blocking issue, that's why marked as draft, will update the PR as soon I unblock 😉 🤞

What were the issues? Considering we were already on 4.12, I'm curious what the problems were

My apologie, rather than answering your comment I click "Edit" and answer within your own comment.

I corrected that and now a propper answer:

The test finishes but not the process that runs it. In local test, test process keeps running infinetely, until you manually stops it. In CI it times out. I didn't digg that much to indentify the cause of the issue tho.

My findings are:

• We use a testem-electron file that loads the test runner from ember-electron. Here file
• We use a test wrapper within electron-app/ that call helpers from test-support.
• Initially I though the issue must be related to these 2 files mentioned above, checked ember-electron changes on those between v6 and v7 and found no differences, so I start thinking it can be related to 3rd party deps those processes uses such as electron-devtools-installer. I digg a bit on those but didn't find a good breadcrumb to follow.
• I reproduced the same behaviour on Mac and Linux, so thinking its not OS/env related.
• I also find out in v7 they dropped support for < ember 4.8. After this I thought best to keep the ember upgrade and other deps rolling, and attempt ember-electron upgrade after Ember + Electron upgrade.

Open to discuss this further if need.
