This means integration tests no longer need to depend on a $CI_CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION_ARG environment variable to specify which chromedriver version to download to match the locally installed chrome. This was bad DX and not having it specified was not reliable as webdriver-manager would not always download the chromedriver version to work with the locally installed chrome.
webdriver-manager update --gecko=false --standalone=false $CI_CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION_ARG is now replaced with node webdriver-manager-update.js in the root package.json, which checks which version of chrome puppeteer has come bundled with & downloads informs webdriver-manager to download the corresponding chrome driver version.
Integration tests now use "webdriver-manager": "file:../../node_modules/webdriver-manager" so they don't have to waste time calling webdriver-manager update in postinstall
"// resolutions": "Ensure a single version of webdriver-manager which comes from root node_modules that has already run webdriver-manager update",
"resolutions": {
"**/webdriver-manager": "file:../../node_modules/webdriver-manager"
}
This should speed up each integration postinstall by a few seconds.
Further, integration test package.json files link puppeteer via file:../../node_modules/puppeteer which is the ideal situation as the puppeteer post-install won't download chrome if it is already downloaded. In CI, since node_modules is cached it should not need to download Chrome either unless the node_modules cache is busted.
NB: each version of puppeteer comes bundles with a specific version of chrome. Root package.json & yarn.lock currently pull down puppeteer 2.1.0 which comes with chrome 80. See https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer#q-which-chromium-version-does-puppeteer-use for more info.
Only two references to CI_CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION_ARG left in integration tests at integration/bazel-schematics/test.sh which I'm not entirely sure how to get rid of it
Use a lightweight puppeteer=>chrome version mapping instead of launching chrome and calling browser.version()
Launching puppeteer headless chrome and calling browser.version() was a heavy-handed approach to determine the Chrome version. A small and easy to update mappings file is a better solution and it means that the `yarn install` step does not require chrome shared libs available on the system for its postinstall step

The CLI app is now checked in, rather than generated dynamically with
`ng new`. This loses some assertion power, but gains hermeticity.
It also checks in lock files for all integration tests, avoiding
floating version numbers.
We'll need another place to integration test between changes in
the various repositories - but the angular/angular PR-blocking status
is not the right place to do this.
