Run tests on a local Activity project

[TAnas0]

This came to my attention when I wanted to run this test suite on recent changes as part of reviewing a merge request into Activity.

I have faced some issues in doing so, and thought it would be a substantial plus to be able to run the integration tests, by pointing to http://localhost:8000 instead of the deployed version.

Acceptance Criteria

GIVEN I am an Activity developer

AND I wish to run these tests on new changes I made to Activity (not even pushed yet for example)

THEN I expect this test suite to run just like it would if my changes were deployed.

Additional context

First issue I faced is that emails are not sent. Will configuring an SMTP server (in docker for example) resolve this?

I tried setting gmail as my smtp server but it seem the email is being triggered but I did not receive it.

@odenypeter @Kimaiyo077 we would love you assistance in setting up smtp locally so that the tests can also be run locally.

I think we can setup an "SMTP Sink Server": https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/96/

As long as we can read that file using Cypress, or save it elsewhere where Cypress can fetch it, we can get the verification links @sannleen
