SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of building an Electron application, deploying the newly built version to a test location, and relaunching it, ensuring that subsequent automated tests run against the most current code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Build: Executes a specified command to build the Electron application.
  • Deployment: Copies the built application bundle to a designated test application path.
  • Relaunch: Ensures the test application is running with the latest build before automated testing begins.
  • Use Case: After making changes to your Electron app's codebase, this skill can be triggered to automatically build, deploy, and restart the app, allowing Playwright tests to immediately verify the new code.

Quick Start

Build and deploy the Electron app using the configured build command and paths.

Frequently Asked Questions about Electron Build-Deploy Skill

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate building and deploying an Electron app for testing?▼

Automated Electron app deployment executes a build command, overwrites the existing test application bundle, and relaunches the app to ensure tests run against current code.

How do I relaunch an Electron app after deploying a new build?▼

Relaunching an Electron app post-deployment overwrites the test application path with the new build and restarts it, ensuring the running version matches the latest codebase changes.

Can I use this to deploy an Electron app before running Playwright tests?▼

Yes, the deployment process is designed to update the test application before automated testing begins, allowing Playwright to immediately verify newly built Electron code.

What is the best way to keep a test Electron app up to date with the latest code?▼

Keeping a test Electron app current requires automating the build, deploy, and relaunch cycle, which overwrites the old application and restarts it for verification.

Why does my Electron app test environment run outdated code after a build?▼

Test environments run outdated Electron app code when the deployment step fails to overwrite the existing application or does not relaunch the newly built version before testing.
