Development

Requirements

Install dependencies:

npm i

Run

npm run dev

If you don't need autofocus when your files was changed, then run dev with env START_MINIMIZED=true:

START_MINIMIZED=true npm run dev

To start the app in production environment:

npm run build
npm run start

To start the app in production environment with debugging enabled:

DEBUG_PROD=true npm run start

Testing

Run normal tests:

npm test

Packaging

To package apps for the local platform:

npm run package

To package apps for all platforms:

First, refer to the Multi Platform Build docs for dependencies.

Then,

npm run package-all

To package apps with options:

npm run package --[option]

💡 You can debug your production build with devtools by simply setting the DEBUG_PROD env variable:

DEBUG_PROD=true npm run package

Publishing

First, create a personal access GitHub Token with the repo permission.

macOS

The macOS build must be published from a mac, with a valid code signing certificate available in your keychain. Then, simply:

GH_TOKEN=<github token> npm run publish-mac

This will push all relevant assets to a draft release on GitHub.

Windows

The Windows build can be built from a linux box. There are a few dependencies requried, see https://www.electron.build/multi-platform-build#to-build-app-for-windows-on-linux.

Then run:

GH_TOKEN=<github token> npm run publish-win

This will push all relevant assets to a draft release on GitHub.

Linux

The linux build must be built from a linux machine.

You also must have installed the snapcraft cli tool:

sudo snap install snapcraft --classic

To publish the linux snap build, you also must be logged into snapcraft:

snapcraft login

And should also install the review-tools snap for enhanced checks before uploading the snap:

sudo snap install review-tools

Finally, install deps for building rpms:

sudo apt install rpm

Then run:

GH_TOKEN=<github token> npm run publish-linux

This will push all relevant assets to a draft release on GitHub and push the new build to the snap store.
