Xvfb on that setup defaults to a virtual screen size of 640x480
(XVFBARGS='-screen 0 640x480x16') which in turn makes the Arduino user
interface tests fail with exceptions like this:
[junit] org.fest.swing.exception.ActionFailedException: The component to click is out of the boundaries of the screen
[junit] at org.fest.swing.exception.ActionFailedException.actionFailure(ActionFailedException.java:33)
[junit] at org.fest.swing.core.RobotEventGenerator.pressMouse(RobotEventGenerator.java:74)
Setting the xvfb screen size to 1024x768 solves this error.

Coool! There is a way to try this before merging? |

Ok I found it: just pushed to a branch on I see that the tests are failing but there is still a green light? Should it be marked as failed? BTW great work! This will surely improve the workflow. I'm wondering if we could run the same on Windows and Mac virtual gh-hosted envs? |

I noticed some Arduino IDE tests were failing when I ran them (fx #9695).
This PR increases visibility of existing tests by building the Arduino IDE and running Arduino IDE tests automatically on the GitHub platform.
Background: A GitHub-hosted runner is a virtual machine hosted by GitHub with the GitHub Actions runner application installed. This makes it possible to build and run Arduino tests automatically.
