I would find the DX much better if the service could figure out the location of the Electron build based on some assumptions we can make given their setup. This patch allows users not to have to set the
appBinaryPath
if they use Electron Builder or Electron Forge as build tool. The change is backwards compatible and only kicks in if the property isn't already set.Furthermore the launcher has tried to detect the Electron version by looking at the
electron
dependency. However our example has usedelectron-nightly
so I enhanced that mechanism to also check for the version of that dependency.
