test: retry temp folder removal for tests that spawn Electron#4316
Merged
Conversation
When cleaning up temporary folders containing an Electron executable that is spawned by a test, `fs.promises.rm` can sometimes throw `Error: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, unlink 'path\to\electron-app.exe'` on Windows (see https://github.com/electron/forge/actions/runs/28900198935/job/85735026394#step:11:1731 and https://github.com/electron/forge/actions/runs/29090950003/job/86356018118#step:11:1763), failing the test. This PR sets the `maxRetries` option for `fs.promises.rm` so we can handle this scenario more gracefully in the two tests where it can happen.
