NEED Chrome Browser Update - Spectron 13 - app.start() never resolves

[DWboutin]

Hi! I'm trying to setup e2e tests with Spectron and I got some issues.

When I start my tests with:

  beforeEach(async () => {
    app = new Application({
      path: path.resolve(
        __dirname,
        '..',
        'out/type-relectron-darwin-x64/type-relectron.app/Contents/MacOS/type-relectron',
      ),
    })
    await app.start()
    console.log('app.start()')
  })

It keeps opening new windows and app.start() never resolve, it never logs "app.start()".

I added some console.log in the node_modules/spectron/lib/application.js file to check how far it goes.

  Application.prototype.start = function () {
  const self = this;
  return self
    .exists()
    .then(function () {
      console.log('self.startChromeDriver();')
      return self.startChromeDriver();
    })
    .then(function () {
      console.log('self.createClient();')
      return self.createClient();
    })
    .then(function () {
      console.log('self.api.initialize();')
      return self.api.initialize();
    })
    .then(function () {
      console.log('self.client.setTimeouts(')
      return self.client.setTimeouts(
        self.waitTimeout,
        self.waitTimeout,
        self.waitTimeout
      );
    })
    .then(function () {
      console.log('self.running = true;')
      self.running = true;
    })
    .then(function () {
      console.log('return self;')
      return self;
    }).catch(err => {
      console.log(err)
    });
};

It never go pass self.createClient(); and with a newly added .catch it gives me this error.

Can you make something about this or show me the way to get a Chrome version 87 with Spectron?

Thank you

Running into the same issue as well. Using Electron 10.1.6 and Spectron 12.0.0

I see a similar error with Spectron 13, Electron 11.2.0 & chrome 87.0.4280.141 when trying to reference the app.start() return object. Is there a temporary workaround for this?

let testApp = await app.start(); ... javascript error: javascript error: Cannot convert undefined or null to object (Session info: chrome=87.0.4280.141)

Same issue

[pmerwin]

Me too, I am wondering if it a typescript issue in wdio....

[jtoy]

Is there a work around in the meantime?

I saw that chromedriver seemed to be trying to launch Chrome with a remote debugging port of 0, so tried adding this: chromeDriverArgs: ["--remote-debugging-port=9515", "--verbose"], to the spectron Application options. It changed the error - Chrome at least launches now - but the chrome logs now report a series of entries like this

1612043442.902][DEBUG]: DevTools HTTP Request: http://localhost:9515/json/version
[1612043442.904][DEBUG]: DevTools HTTP Request failed

[jtoy]

so no one is using electron and spectron recently?

[pmerwin]

Any workarounds found for this? Thanks :)

[ashmortar]

Bumping this thread, is there a functioning pairing of spectron and electron? electrno 10.1.6 and spectron 12.0.0.
