- Include the script's directory path #304.
- Exclude Windows-specific instructions on non-Windows OS.
- Standardize language across dialogs for consistency.
Other supporting changes:
- Add script diagnostics data collection from main process.
- Document script file storage and execution tamper protection in
SECURITY.md.
- Remove redundant comment in `NodeReadbackFileWriter`.
- Centralize error display for uniformity and simplicity.
- Simpify `WindowVariablesValidator` to omit checks when not on the
renderer process.
- Improve and centralize Electron environment detection.
- Use more emphatic language (don't worry) in error messages.
This commit introduces native operating system file dialogs in the
desktop application replacing the existing web-based dialogs.
It lays the foundation for future enhancements such as:
- Providing error messages when saving or executing files, addressing
#264.
- Creating system restore points, addressing #50.
Documentation updates:
- Update `desktop-vs-web-features.md` with added functionality.
- Update `README.md` with security feature highlights.
- Update home page documentation to emphasize security features.
Other supporting changes include:
- Integrate IPC communication channels for secure Electron dialog API
interactions.
- Refactor `IpcRegistration` for more type-safety and simplicity.
- Introduce a Vue hook to encapsulate dialog functionality.
- Improve errors during IPC registration for easier troubleshooting.
- Move `ClientLoggerFactory` for consistency in hooks organization and
remove `LoggerFactory` interface for simplicity.
- Add tests for the save file dialog in the browser context.
- Add `Blob` polyfill in tests to compensate for the missing
`blob.text()` function in `jsdom` (see jsdom/jsdom#2555).
Improve environment detection logic:
- Treat test environment as browser environments to correctly activate
features based on the environment. This resolves issues where the
environment is misidentified as desktop, but Electron preloader APIs
are missing.
- Rename `isDesktop` environment identification variable to
`isRunningAsDesktopApplication` for better clarity and to avoid
confusion with desktop environments in web/browser/test environments.
- Simplify `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to consistently detect
non-desktop application environments.
- Improve environment detection for Electron main process
(electron/electron#2288).
This commit fixes an issue seen on certain Windows environments (Windows
10 22H2 and 11 23H2 Pro Azure VMs) where scripts were being deleted
during execution due to temporary directory usage. To resolve this,
scripts are now stored in a persistent directory, enhancing reliability
for long-running scripts and improving auditability along with
troubleshooting.
Key changes:
- Move script execution logic to the `main` process from `preloader` to
utilize Electron's `app.getPath`.
- Improve runtime environment detection for non-browser environments to
allow its usage in Electron main process.
- Introduce a secure module to expose IPC channels from the main process
to the renderer via the preloader process.
Supporting refactorings include:
- Simplify `CodeRunner` interface by removing the `tempScriptFolderName`
parameter.
- Rename `NodeSystemOperations` to `NodeElectronSystemOperations` as it
now wraps electron APIs too, and convert it to class for simplicity.
- Rename `TemporaryFileCodeRunner` to `ScriptFileCodeRunner` to reflect
its new functinoality.
- Rename `SystemOperations` folder to `System` for simplicity.
- Rename `HostRuntimeEnvironment` to `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` for
clarity.
- Refactor main Electron process configuration to align with latest
Electron documentation/recommendations.
- Refactor unit tests `BrowserRuntimeEnvironment` to simplify singleton
workaround.
- Use alias imports like `electron/main` and `electron/common` for
better clarity.
