Build for a specific platform.

Windows x64 | npm run dist:win |
macOS | npm run dist:mac |
Linux x64 | npm run dist:linux |
Builds for macOS may not work on Windows/Linux and vice-versa.
Visual Studio Code
All development of the launcher should be done using Visual Studio Code.
Paste the following into .vscode/launch.json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug Main Process",
"type": "node",
"request": "launch",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/electron/cli.js",
"args" : ["."],
"outputCapture": "std"
},
{
"name": "Debug Renderer Process",
"type": "chrome",
"request": "launch",
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron",
"windows": {
"runtimeExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/electron.cmd"
},
"runtimeArgs": [
"${workspaceFolder}/.",
"--remote-debugging-port=9222"
],
"webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
}
]
}
This adds two debug configurations.
Debug Main Process
This allows you to debug Electron's main process. You can debug scripts in the renderer process by opening the DevTools Window.
Debug Renderer Process
This allows you to debug Electron's renderer process. This requires you to install the Debugger for Chrome extension.
Note that you cannot open the DevTools window while using this debug configuration. Chromium only allows one debugger, opening another will crash the program.
