Spectron is long deprecated and abandoned and the browser tests are so rudimentary that it’s no longer worth having them around. We will introduce a proper browser-based test suite in the short term — it’s a project in progress.
Change-type: minor
Electron 12 deprecated `electron.remote` and the functionality was removed in Electron 14, but became available as a separate `@electron/remote` module. This commit makes the transition to the external module as an intermediary step to enable updating to a newer Electron version.
Change-type: patch
The Electron version we’re currently using is on Node 14 but this is a step forward to upgrading to a newer Electron and Node version.
Updates etcher-sdk and switches the redundant aws4-axios dependency to just axios.
Also changed bundler to stop trying to bundle wasm files — they must be included inline with JS code as data — and removed some now redundant code.
The crucial changes that enable support are:
1. The update to etcher-sdk@8 where some dependency fixes and updates took place
2. The downgrade and pinning of "electron-rebuild" to v3.2.3 until we’re able to update to Electron >= 14.2. The patch we need to avoid is https://github.com/electron/rebuild/pull/907. Also see: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2673 and https://github.com/electron/rebuild/issues/913
3. A rule in webpack.config to ignore `aws-crt` which is a dependency of (ultimately) `aws4-axios` which is used by etcher-sdk and does a runtime check to its availability. We’re not currently using the “assume role” functionality (AFAIU) of aws4-axios and we don’t care that it’s not found, so force webpack to ignore the import. See https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js-v3/issues/3025
