Setting up Headless Chrome for client-side test cases

Odoo uses Headless Chrome to perform JavaScript test cases and tour test cases. Headless Chrome is a way to run Chrome without the full UI. This way, we can run JavaScript test cases in the same environment as the end user. In this recipe, we will install Headless Chrome and other packages in order to run JavaScript test cases.

How to do it...
