Running on a headless Mac Mini server

See original GitHub issue

I get the following error when running on a headless Mac Mini server over SSH:

_RegisterApplication(), FAILED TO establish the default connection to the WindowServer, _CGSDefaultConnection() is NULL.

Do you have any pointers on what the fix could be? Its weird that electron-mocha runs fine on Travis CI macOS builds though.
