Using Cordova plugins with Electron platform support

I have a cordova plugin which supports electron platform, together with android and ios platforms. The plugin has electron entry in its plugin.xml and a source file in ./src/electron folder.

When I do npx cap sync

the sync correctly recognizes this cordova plugin for android and ios and copies it to the appropriate folders in native projects:

• ./android/capacitor-cordova-android-plugins/ for android, and
• ./ios/capacitor-cordova-ios-plugins/ for ios.

However, no such thing happens for electron, nothing is copied as far as I can tell. I also tried npx cap sync @capacitor-community/electron but the cordova plugin isn’t copied either.

When I try npx cap ls a part of the output says [info] Listing plugins for electron is not possible.

Is this feature implemented, or is it even possible to implement?

Any progress related? I wanted to make an application that would list and give the user the possibility to open the file through the app, it would use this plugin (supports electron), do you know if there is another way for me do this with the electron capacitor?

You could use electron API’s directly (see https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/dialog) or a capacitor plugin ( see https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/filesystem )

I havent looked into using cordova plugins with electron, but I will add this to the future plans list.
