The acceptance tests require several elements to be set up in order to
be run. Besides those PHP packages that it depends on, like Behat or
Mink, it requires a running Selenium server and a Docker image with the
Nextcloud server to be tested available in the system. The "run.sh"
script takes care of preparing all the needed elements and then run the
acceptance tests; once finished, either normally or due to an error, it
also cleans up the temporal elements created/started by the script and
the acceptance tests.
The Docker image with the Nextcloud server to be tested is created from
the Nextcloud code in the greatparent directory each time "run.sh" is
executed; the code is copied inside the image, so once the acceptance
tests are started the code in the greatparent directory can be modified
without affecting them. As it is based on the current code at the time
of the launch that image is created and destroyed each time the
acceptance tests are run. However, the image that it is based on, which
is created using "docker/nextcloud-local-parent/Dockerfile", does not
change between runs, so it is kept built in the system to speed up the
launch of acceptance tests.
