Spectron is a JavaScript library for end-to-end testing of Electron applications using ChromeDriver and WebdriverIO. It was officially deprecated in February 2022 and users are encouraged to migrate to alternatives like Playwright or WebdriverIO's Electron service.
Use cases
- test electron apps end to end
- automate ui tests for desktop apps
- run integration tests on electron applications
- drive electron app windows with chromedriver
- write mocha tests for electron apps
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy electron app already using spectron
- working with an older electron version covered by the version map
When to avoid
- starting a new electron project
- using electron 20 or newer
- you need actively maintained tooling
