Overview and folder structure

WIP: End-to-end tests are a work in progress and they're going to change.

|-- e2e
  |-- helpers
	|-- tests
	|-- data.ts
	|-- e2e_account.ts

e2e/helpers
- This folder contains a few functions to setup and help write tests.
e2e/tests
- This folder contains the actual test files
- It's currently split into assorted, onboarding, room, and team folders
- There's not a clear convention on where a test should be placed yet, but the folders above exist to try to separate them into features
- Keep every test file truly idempotent
  - Each file can only impact on the tests written inside of it
  - They should not impact on other files, so pay attention on the data you use
data.ts
- Contains seeds to common test data, like server url, public channels, etc
- Currently we point to https://mobile.rocket.chat as main server
  - Pointing to a local server is not recommended yet, as you would need to create a few public channels and change some permissions
  - Ideally we should point to a docker or even a mocked server, but that's tbd
- Try not to add new data there. Use random values instead.
  - It's hard to keep track of where each value is used
e2e_account.ts
- Contains user and password with correct permissions on main server
  - Check e2e_account.example.ts for structure
- It needs to be added manually on local (it's already set on CI)
  - Ask Diego Mello for credentials

Change .env to RUNNING_E2E_TESTS=true
- You can also RUNNING_E2E_TESTS=true yarn start reset-cache, but it's easier to change the file as long as you don't commit it

brew tap wix/brew
brew install applesimutils

Create AVD
- It's important to create the same emulator as on CI. Read more: https://wix.github.io/Detox/docs/guide/android-dev-env
