Bisecting Electron with Electron/Fiddle.

Recently, I have been working on an issue in Electron, which required bisecting and finding the exact version of Electron, when the regression happened.

A quick research did not reveal any guides, but as my search was progressing, I found one interesting commit - feat: add Bisect helper.

Electron Fiddle

Fiddle is an Electron playground that allows developers to experiment with Electron APIs. It has a quick startup template, which you can change as you wish. You can save fiddle locally or as a GitHub Gist, which can be shared with anyone by just entering the Gist URL in the address bar.

Moreover, you can choose what Electron version you wish to use - from stable to nightly releases.

Electron Releases

You can run fiddle using any version of Electron you wish - either stable, beta, or nightly. One can either run fiddle with obsolete versions, which is super great when comparing behaviour between different versions.

An option to choose the version of the Electron can be found at the top-left corner of the Fiddle window.

Once pressed, you can use filter to choose any Electron version you wish.

However, you may not find beta or nightly versions in the filter. For that, go to Settings (a gear icon on the left of the filter), then Electron, and select the desired channels.

Now, you can access all the available Electron versions and try any of them on the fly.

I hope this small guide helps you to triage your Electron problems :)))
