app.electron, app.webContents, etc.. undefined even if nodeIntegration is set to true

Hello,

Thanks for your great work on spectron. I’m trying to setup spectron in my project but even if nodeIntegration is set to true, app.electron and other variables are undefined.

You can reproduce this issue in few minutes:

$ git clone https://github.com/remipassmoilesel/abc-map-2
$ cd abc-map-2
$ npm i
$ npm run test

Here is my test code:

https://github.com/remipassmoilesel/abc-map-2/blob/master/src/tests/api/handlers/MapHandlersTest.ts

And here is the electron init script:

https://github.com/remipassmoilesel/abc-map-2/blob/master/src/electron-main.ts

And if I log the application object we can see that nodeIntegration value is set to false:

app {

What can I do to fix this ? Thanks for your help.

I’m seeing this too just using the examples in the readme.
