Problem description

The workflow .github/workflows/test-app.yml produces deprecation warnings:

1. "Node.js 12 actions are deprecated. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-09-22-github-actions-all-actions-will-begin-running-on-node16-instead-of-node12/. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 16: actions/checkout@v2, cypress-io/github-action@v2" (Node 12 has been out of support since April 2022, as a result we have started the deprecation process of Node 12 for GitHub Actions. We plan to migrate all actions to run on Node16 by Summer 2023.)

2. "The set-output command is deprecated and will be disabled soon. Please upgrade to using Environment Files. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/" ( We are monitoring telemetry for the usage of these commands and plan to fully disable them on 31st May 2023. Starting 1st June 2023 workflows using save-state or set-output commands via stdout will fail with an error.)

Steps to reproduce

1. Fork repository
2. Push to fork
3. View Actions log

Suggested fix

In .github/workflows/test-app.yml update:

• actions/checkout@v2 to @v3
• cypress-io/github-action@v2 to @v5

Additional suggestions

Update other dependencies to latest versions including updating Cypress to latest v9 legacy configuration version.

In a further step update Cypress to latest version (currently 12.x).

(Using Cypress 11.2.0 the tests report 28 pass and 0 fail.)

Steps to reproduce

Edit package.json and change
"cypress": "^7.0.0" to
"cypress": "^12.0.0"

Execute

yarn install
npm run build
npm start

In a separate terminal window execute

npx cypress open

Take defaults for migration to Cypress 12.
Select E2E Testing
Select Electron
Start E2E Testing in Electron
Select app.spec.js to run
Note test run results 20 pass, 8 fail.

Repeat the above using "cypress": "^11.0.0" instead and note that all 28 tests pass.

Expectation

It should be possible to use the test in the latest current major version of Cypress 12.x.
