Write JavaScript toelectron,get console output back!
Boot a hidden electron instance, log to stdout and clean up:
varelectron=require('electron-stream');
varbrowser=electron();
browser.pipe(process.stdout);
browser.write('console.log(window.location.href);');
browser.write('window.close();');
browser.end();Alternatively, use an existing http server. Note you cannot write to electron-stream when outside http server is in use.
varelectron=require('electron-stream');
varhttp=require('http');
varserver=http.createServer((req,res)=>{
if(/^\/bundle\.js/.test(req.url)){
res.setHeader('content-type','application/javascript');
res.setHeader('cache-control','no-cache');
res.end('console.log( "hello" );window.close();');
return;
}
if(req.url=='/'){
res.setHeader('Content-Type','text/html');
res.end(`<!DOCTYPE html><meta charset= "utf8" ><body><script src= "/bundle.js" ></script></body>`);
return;
}
});
server.listen(8000);
varbrowser=electron({loc:'http://localhost:8000'});
browser.pipe(process.stdout);
browser.end();electron-streamlets you read all of the console output together, or split up intostdoutandstderr:
// console.log and console.error
browser.pipe(...);
browser.stdall.pipe(...);
// console.log only
browser.stdout.pipe(...);
// console.error only
browser.stderr.pipe(...);To install as a library:
$ npm install electron-streamTo install as a binary:
$ npm install -g electron-stream
$echo"console.log('foo');window.close()"|electron-streamTo use electron on travis, add this to your travis.yml:
addons:
apt:
packages:
-xvfb
install:
-export DISPLAY=':99.0'
-Xvfb:99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
-npm installCreate a writable stream around a newly spawnedelectronwhich forwards written data toelectron.This module bundleselectron-prebuilt.
Options:
show:Show the electron window. Defaults tofalse.node:Enable node integration. Defaults tofalse.basedir:Set this if you need to require node modules innodemodestatic:Serve static files from this directory at/loc:a full url likehttp://localhost:8080/for using an existing http server. Whenlocis supplied, optionsnode,basedir,andstaticare all ignored.sandbox:Run electron with sandbox. Disable to emit debug information when using Docker. Defaults totrue.
Readable streams containing the console output.console.logwill be forwarded to.stdout,console.errorto.stderr..stdallhas them both.
Kill the child process.
Emitted when the underlyingelectronexits. There can be multiple reasons for this:
electron#kill()was calledwindow.close()was sent as a script- there was a fatal error
