App

What type of change do you want to see?

New feature

Overview

Add a new command shopify app install --store <dev-store> --skip-login to generate an app install URL from the CLI and skips any login prompts. Since the CLI was previously authorised for a certain Shopify Partner account, all development shops of this Partner account should be available to be installed from the CLI without any login requests.

Motivation

For end-to-end testing, we need a reliable way to test the flow from installation to all possible paths. At the moment, we are usually blocked by the captcha for the store login. We could login manually and copy the local session data to the automated browser to avoid the login, but this is not reliable for E2E testing.
