E2E testing with Playwright, main process unit testing, IPC testing, dialog/menu mocking, CI headless setup.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Electron Testing Patterns > **Quick Guide:** Use Playwright's `_electron.launch()` for E2E tests -- it controls the full app via CDP. Unit test main process code (IPC handlers, business logic) with your test runner by mocking the `electron` module. Test preload scripts by mocking `contextBridge` and `ipcRenderer`. Spectron is dead since Electron 24 -- Playwright and WebDriverIO are the replacements. Run Electron tests on headless Linux CI with `xvfb-run` or the `xvfb-maybe` wrapper. --- <critical_requirements> ## CRITICAL: Before Using This Skill **(You MUST `await electronApp.close()` in test teardown -- leaked Electron processes break CI and consume resources)** **(You MUST mock the `electron` module in unit tests -- Electron APIs are only available inside the Electron runtime)** **(You MUST use `xvfb-run` or `xvfb-maybe` for headless Linux CI -- Electron requires a display server)** **(You MUST stub native dialogs in E2E tests -- `showOpenDialog`/`showSaveDialog` block the process and cannot be interacted with by Playwright)** </critical_requirements> --- …

How to install
mdr add agents-inc/skills/desktop-testing-electron@sha256:2a8d0cbabe7690a8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.afd0e14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
