[Announcement] V2.0 beta stability poll

Hello everyone👋! I’m getting ready to move the 2.0 beta to RC (release candidate) status as it is long overdue, but I first want to make sure that there aren’t any breaking changes requested. If you think that the 2.0 beta is ready for RC then please 👍 this issue. If not, please 👎 and leave a comment explaining why.

Specifically, I’d like feedback on the following major changes:

• Is the new spectron testing process preferred over the old one? Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement?
• Does it make sense to disable node integration by default? This means that apps will likely be more secure, but native modules and other electron-provided functions will not work without configuring nodeIntegration.
• Has it been stable for you? Are there any new bugs that have popped up?
• Is the migration guide on the release announcement sufficient? Were there any additional changes you had to make? Did it all go smoothly?

Thanks for all your feedback!

I think electron-builder should not have node integration disabled by default. By messing with Electron properties it adds an unnecessary complication layer. All Electron settings should be in 1 place - in the main Electron process - so that when you need to change things like node integration you didn’t have to waste time figuring out where’s what and why does electron-builder docs conflict with Electron docs. And what if I need to disable it only for 1 renderer but not the other ones? Will it override webPreferences.nodeIntegration of every window? People will flood you and the Electron repo with questions asking why don’t their modules work anymore.

Please don’t add unnecessary complexity layers.

Yes, I’d love for this plugin to support vue 3. I’ll take a look at it sometime this week probably.
