Is Spectron dead? #359

Open dima11221122 opened 5 years ago

dima11221122 commented 5 years ago

I'm looking for e2e test tool for electron and it seems that spectron is the only framework for this purposes. But recently I haven't seen any activity here. A lot of opened PRs, lack of Electron 4 and 5 support and so on. I have the impression that the project is dead. What can you say about it? (hope I'm wrong)

I don't think so. it just seems to be progressing very slowly / has low priority.

The desired pull request -> https://github.com/electron/spectron/pull/354

Related to this. What is going to happen to Spectron now that Electron is moving to release a new major stable version every 12 weeks and Spectron does not support v4 or v5 of Electron?

Large popular company and popular product ≠ Good Support. Sadly, but true.

I realized that updating Spectron to the latest Electron version is, in most cases, not more complex than updating electron-chromedriver and electron versions.

One can open a PR, even incomplete, and ask for help if necessary.
