Description

The setup done for Nightwatch when creating a new Vue project using the create-vue tool is outdated. For example, there are a lot of dependencies which we no longer need (chromedriver, @types/nightwatch, etc.).

So, we should update the same to use the latest standards (refer to the create-nightwatch tool to see how a new project is scaffolded now), and verify that the Nightwatch tests work for all different ways of generating a Vue project (by choosing different selections each time).

Research direction
Examine the current Nightwatch setup in the create vue repository (https://github.com/vuejs/create vue) and compare with the create nightwatch tool (https://github.com/nightwatchjs/create nightwatch). Update the dependencies and configuration files to match latest standards. Ensure that the Nightwatch tests pass for all combinations of project options (e.g., selecting different features).
