I've set the remote-debugging-port
option for Chrome in my Electron main process:
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')
Now, how can I get the ws://
URL that I can use to connect to Chrome?
I see that the output while I'm running Electron shows
DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:8315/devtools/browser/52ba17be-0c0d-4db6-b6f9-a30dc10df13c
but I would like to get this URL from inside the main process. The URL is different every time. How can I get it from inside the Electron main process?
Can I somehow read my Electron's main process output, from within my main process JavaScript code?
Here's how to connect Puppeteer to your Electron window from your Electron main process code:
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('remote-debugging-port', '8315')
async function test() {
const response = await fetch(`http://localhost:8315/json/list?t=${Math.random()}`)
const debugEndpoints = await response.json()
let webSocketDebuggerUrl = ''
for (const debugEndpoint of debugEndpoints) {
if (debugEndpoint.title === 'Saffron') {
webSocketDebuggerUrl = debugEndpoint.webSocketDebuggerUrl
break
}
}
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: webSocketDebuggerUrl
})
// use puppeteer APIs now!
}
// ... make your window, etc, the usual, and then: ...
// wait for the window to open/load, then connect Puppeteer to it:
mainWindow.webContents.on("did-finish-load", () => {
test()
})
