Vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder: Support Electron 7

[ethernomad]

Electron 7 has been released:

https://electronjs.org/releases/stable

[ethernomad]

Actually - it is supported - it's just not in the wizard.

[xland]

No. It is not supported.
See #540 #546

Electron 7 works fine with this plugin (except for https://github.com/nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder/issues/546, but that is quite minor). I don't have it available in the wizard because of issues with spectron. Feel free to use it in you apps (as long as you aren't using spectron).

[xland]

Thanks

How do you enable Electron v7? Is it just a matter of installing with v6 then changing the electron entry in package.json and running npm install?

[nklayman]

Yep, as long as you don't use spectron that works fine.

[bluelovers]

is spectron mean vue-cli-service electron:serve ?

[nklayman]

No, spectron is a e2e testing framework for electron.

@nklayman please keep in mind Electron 7.x no longer uses the electron.asar file. Perhaps some changes will need to be made in vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder to adapt to that change.

Also, do you have a specific date in mind for the release that supports Electron 7.x (which is gonna be 2.0.0 I assume) or at least an approximate date?
