We will use Intern as a testing framework because it seamlessly integrates with chai for running tests, as well as vast testing capabilities and onboard TypeScript support. The sample.js contains a simple test that should integrate with TravisCI and will be deleted when tests are implemented.
Whoops, I forgot to add the object descriptor..
This completes the basic setup and makes it possible to: - run tests using the intern testrunner (npm test) - mock dependencies using testdouble Note: Electron can't be mocked by td itself, so providing a manual mock is needed. This should be modularized in the future.

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for your work on this! Is this good for me to do a full review yet, or are you still working on it? I have taken a glance, but not a thorough review. |

You can take a review if you want. The basic setup is complete, so all that's left to add are the actual tests. A review on the structure or syntax you prefer would actually help me out a lot as well since I can keep it in line with the rest of the project. |

This is a work in progress proposed fix to #19. I'll gradually add more tests but the foundation is there for now. As a quick overview of what I decided on using and how this all works, here's a small writeup:
The testing framework used is Intern. This allows using chai asserts which are easier to read in my opinion. As well as a close to zero configuration setup which lets us focus on writing tests instead of configuring things that aren't really necessary.
Furthermore, because we can't use electron or node_modules directly. We rely on testdouble which allows us to mock external dependencies by either:
