app.client inaccessible

I am using spectron with mocha. All functions which don’t use app.client work very well like

  it('screenshot', function (done) {
    this.app.browserWindow.capturePage().then(function (imageBuffer) {
      fs.writeFile(__dirname+'/page.png', imageBuffer, function () {
        done();

      });
    });
  });

It opens the window, take a screenshot and close the window.

But all functions like this.app.client.getTitle(), this.app.client.getWindowCount() or this.app.client.getText('#title') totally mess up. For example getWindowCount() returns 2 whereas there is only one window.

Do you know the origin of this bug ?

As for ignoring Dev Tools windows @kevinsawicki ?

I’ll have to take a look about what information ChromeDriver returns for dev tools windows to see if they can be distinguished from regular browser windows.

You may use an environment variable or an argument of your application in order to hide the devTools with spectron. In fact, they wont be there in production.
