Adding e2e test coverage

[christian-bromann]

PR Type

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

[ ] Bugfix
[ ] Feature
[ ] Refactoring (no functional changes, no api changes)
[ ] Documentation content changes
[x] Other: adding test coverage

What is the current behavior?

Currently this extension has a set of simple unit tests. Unfortunately there is no assurance that the functionality works across operating systems. Also the tests are run within Travis which has been ceased.

What is the new behavior?

This patch adds a simple e2e test to ensure that the server starts and a browser is able to connect and receive files. It also moves the test execution to GitHub Action.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

[ ] Yes
[x] No

Other information

I am the maintainer of WebdriverIO and recently started building VSCode extensions, e.g. Marquee. I've experienced that there wasn't good tooling for e2e test scenarios that are sometimes needed for complex extensions like yours.

[christian-bromann]

I am currently testing the new pipeline in here: https://github.com/christian-bromann/vscode-live-server/actions

[christian-bromann]

Tests are passing on Ubuntu, MacOS and Windows. To summarise this patch, it:

• moves from AppVeyor to GitHub Actions for testing
• adds an e2e test case that clicks on the "Go Live" link in the status bar and verifies that a browser is able to connect to the opened browser
• adds a release pipeline (Note: this pipeline requires OPEN_VSX_TOKEN and VSC_MKTP_PAT tokens to be stored as repository secrets)

Happy to clarify certain changes or answer other questions. This is now ready for review.

(Looks good to me but this comment about the API)

I'm a bit confused here. Does driver.getWorkbench() gives vscode instance variable? driver is from webdriverio package. right?

I'm a bit confused here. Does driver.getWorkbench() gives vscode instance variable?

Yes, it is a page object that comes with the wdio-vscode-service plugin to easier navigate through the IDE application. I will make sure to create more documentation around it.

driver is from webdriverio package. right?

Correct.

Just pushed an update and tests passed.
