gulp-run-electron's Introduction

gulp-run-electron

Gulp plugin for starting Electron. Requires a peer dependency of electron.

Usage

var runElectron = require("gulp-run-electron");
gulp.src("app")
	.pipe(runElectron(["--cli-argument", "--another"], {cwd: "path"}));

runElectron(args: array, opts: object)

Runs the electron executable on the src folder with the specified arguments, and passes the opts object to child_process.spawn.

Both arguments are optional. If you only want to use the opts object, pass an empty array for args.

runElectron.rerun

For gulp.watch, exits Electron and opens it again; use like so:

gulp.watch("files/*", ["files", runElectron.rerun]);

gulp-run-electron's Issues

`electron-prebuilt` to be depreciated

As of Electron version 1.3.1, you can npm install electron to install the latest precompiled version of Electron.

Currently electron-prebuilt and electron packages are exactly the same. Electron team will be publishing both of them until end of 2016 and recommends to move from using electron-prebuilt to electron.

cb is not a function when saving file

Seems to happen when I save a file and the rerun function is called.

Error I'm getting is:

/Users/dave/my-app/node_modules/gulp-run-electron/src/index.js:18
            cb(null, file);
   ^
TypeError: cb is not a function
    at done (/Users/dave/my-app/node_modules/gulp-run-electron/src/index.js:18:4)

After inspecting cb, it's value at the point of failure is:

{ type: 'changed',
  path: '/Users/dave/my-app/services/js/uninstall.js' }

But if I remove the uninstall.js file then it will still fail (cb will be an object with a different path).

On close event

I'd like to receive a close event from runElectron. The reason is that when Electron closes, I would like to quit Gulp (so it stops watching for file changes).
