Canv Electron Smoke Test

Category: Engineering · Sub-category: testing · Last updated: 2026-05-24

Use when verifying or debugging behavior that only manifests in the running Electron app — title-bar / window-control overlay, mount-time focus, keyboard shortcuts that depend on real focus state, devtools-detach interactions, dropdown anchoring, drag regions. Drives the dev build via `playwright._electron.launch`, captures DOM probes, focus history, and screenshots. Triggers on "verify this in the real app", "drive the Electron app", "smoke test this UI change", or any task where vitest cannot reproduce the symptom because the bug is renderer / Electron-shell specific.

From the source SKILL.md

You are about to drive the running Electron app to verify behavior that doesn't reproduce in vitest. vitest tests render React into jsdom — they miss everything that depends on the Electron shell: titleBarStyle, titleBarOverlay, detached devtools, window-level focus, drag regions, the Vite-served renderer plus Electron's preload bridge.
