Electron

All-in-one packager producing the Arduino Pro IDE Electron-based application.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites are defined here.

Build:

To build the Arduino Pro IDE application you have to do the followings:

yarn --cwd ./electron/packager/ && yarn --cwd ./electron/packager/ package

The packaged application will be under the ./electron/build/dist folder.

CI:

The electron packager runs when:

• the build is manually triggered by the user, or
• on scheduled (CRON) jobs.

Creating a Release Draft:

One can create a GitHub release draft, tag the source, and upload the artifacts to GitHub with Azure.

• Go to the Azure build page.
• Click on Queue in the top right corner.
• Set the branch to master or leave as is if it is already showing master.
• Add the Release.Tag pipeline variable and set the desired release version. Note, the version must start with v and we recommend naming tags that fit within semantic versioning.

• Click on Queue.
• 🎈🎉

Publishing the Release Draft:

One has to manually publish the GitHub release.

• Go to the release page of the arduino-editor repository.
• Select your release draft.
• Click on Edit.

• Optionally, you can adjust the release draft if you want.

• Select Publish release.
