This script automates the processes of:
- Building
- Packaging
- Installing
- Executing
- Verifying Electron distributions
It runs the application for a duration and detects runtime errors in the packaged application via:
- Log verification: Checking application logs for errors and validating successful application initialization.
stderr

: Clears the electron distribution directory and forces a rebuild of the Electron app.--screenshot
: Takes a screenshot of the desktop environment after running the application.
