We plan to promote Electron 27 in the December 2023 milestone to insiders. The following tests cover some of the common UI bits that don't have smoke tests. You can download the nightly explorations builds from here for testing.

Testing:

• macOS:

  • Enable Native Tabs (via settings: window.nativeTabs: true)
    • Ensure native tabs are enabled in the system preferences (System Preferences > General > Prefer tabs: "always":)
    • Launch application
    • Try opening new window from either command line (code-exploration ) or from the menu entry (Cmd + Shift + N)
    • Verify new window is launched as a new tab in the active instance of the application window is focused when starting from command line
    • open the code exploration application from finder or dock
    • open external terminal
    • run code-exploration
    • make sure the new window is put to foreground

• windows:

  • touch device, verify onscreen keyboard doesn't pop up when clicking inside vscode while external keyboard is attached
  • verify maximize and restore operations work as expected when OS task bar is auto-hidden for custom titlebar
  • Verify titlebar is not clipped off when exiting fullscreen
    • Maximize VS Code window
    • Press F11 or Ctrl+K Z twice to enter/exit full screen.
    • Verify titlebar is not cropped
  • Verify there is no rendering lag with custom titlebar

• linux:

  • Verify application launches successfully with the following install flavors on any of the minimum supported distro version described in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/requirements#_platforms
    • Snap
    • Deb
    • RPM

• All OS:

  • Check out the electron-27.x.y branch locally and verify you can run out of sources, set a breakpoint and debug using the VS Code launch configurations and VS Code debugger

Updated the download link to show dev builds as well.

@deepak1556, I was unable to test touch on Windows as I only have Windows VMs.
Other than that, everything worked as expected.

When trying to build on Ubuntu 18.04, I encountered this issue nodesource/distributions#1392.

When trying to build on Fedora 35, I encountered

@sbatten fedora is just missing c++ toolchain, you can make it happy by installing the prerequisites mentioned at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#prerequisites. But this is good enough, CI already ensures the build part so no need to test it again.

@deepak1556 I followed all steps in How to Contribute and still had this issue.

If you still have the vm around, what does g++ --version print ?
