We plan to promote Electron 29 in the May 2024 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:

  • 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

• All OS:

  • Check out the electron-29.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

@deepak1556 on macos, when closing multiple windows that are grouped, when reopened, should they be split or grouped? other than that, everything works as expected.

[deepak1556]

Depends on the setting value for Prefer tabs when opening documents, if it is set to "always" then the windows should be grouped on restart.

@deepak1556 There's currently no Linux build published for explorations: https://builds.code.visualstudio.com/builds/exploration?released=true&dev=true
I'll run from sources...

[deepak1556]

Sorry yeah there is no x64 linux available at this time due to a pending runtime update, please use the arm flavor if possible. Otherwise just testing from the sources is fine for this item.

[ntrogh]

Works as expected on Windows.

Running from sources all seems to work as usual on Linux.
Unfortunately the open dialogs are still behind the windows. Would be great if this could get some priority.
