Hello,
That's nice to see some effort in this direction. The more the Awesome WM ecosystem (awesome itself and third-party modules / dependencies) has automatic test, the more it can be considered as mature and stable.
Regarding our tests at Awesome, we have a similar test suite for our integration tests than the one you propose here : https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/blob/master/tests/run.sh. It starts Xephyr and run step-by-step tests withing a graphical instance of Awesome. I think, the biggest downside of it, is that it's a homegrown tool, so not exactly what you expect from a conventional/standardized tool, and you have to learn it from scratch. It's not hard, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to reuse a similar script on another context, like for the lain module.
Unit testing is done with busted (https://olivinelabs.com/busted/). Because unit tests don't load a full working environment with Awesome, but only the part that is tested, we need to mock dependent modules in our tests, and to have this preload script (https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/blob/master/spec/preload.lua). It's a common annoyance of unit testing that you can't avoid. I'm also not sure how bad it would be for third-party modules.
(just my 2cts about CI testing Awesome WM)

I think rather than using xorg-server-xephyr
we should use xorg-server-xvfb
.
Here's a dockerfile I spun up for testing just to figure out the concept. I'll modify the rc.lua
file a bit for testing and setup Github Actions. I'll make a push when I get it working.

Ok, so... I wrote a script with Github Actions, but I'm not sure how to implement the widget tests. Right now i just require("lain.widget")
. Does that enumerate through the widgets below it or not. I could just make an array with all the widget's names but It'd be important to update that list whenever a new one is added.

If you want to see what I've done so far, check the actions branch over here.
