…osoft#40184)" This reverts commit e09b169. # Conflicts: # packages/playwright-core/src/electron/electron.ts
Follow-up to the revert of PR microsoft#40184 that brings the tree to a working state on top of the main-branch changes that landed after the PR: - Re-add Electron protocol entries to packages/protocol/spec/electron.yml and the Electron initializer to packages/protocol/spec/playwright.yml (protocol.yml was split into per-interface spec/*.yml files in microsoft#40645). - Keep Electron docs in docs/src/electron-api/ but restore their pre-PR full content (the PR had truncated docs to match the trimmed-down CDP-only API). doclint cli.js merges electron-api docs. - Drop the leftover docs/src/electron/loader bundling step from utils/build/build.js (loader is back at server/electron/loader.ts). - Update the restored server/electron/electron.ts import after the toConsoleMessageLocation -> stackTraceToLocation rename in microsoft#39767. - Drop the explicit _electron registration from inprocess.ts; with the server-side dispatcher restored, _electron is wired through the Playwright initializer again. - Remove duplicate _electron exports in index.mjs and overrides.d.ts. - Restore the pre-PR ElectronApplication evaluate/evaluateHandle override signatures so the generated types are consistent.
…soft#40184 The revert of microsoft#40184 deleted tests/electron/electron-options-app.js but left the spec changes that reference it ('should set timezone via process.env.TZ' and 'should ignore https errors via --ignore-certificate-errors switch' tests added in microsoft#40184). Restore the helper so those tests pass again. Also re-add `acceptDownloads: true` to the 'should report downloads' test — microsoft#40184 had dropped it because the new architecture made it the default, but the reverted server-side flow still requires it.

Summary
client/electron.ts,server/electron/*,server/dispatchers/electronDispatcher.ts) because the CDP-based replacement broke_electron.launch({ executablePath })for packaged apps such as VS Code (the loader can't be injected, so__playwright_electronis never set in the Node debugger context).packages/playwright-electron/andpackages/playwright-core/src/electron/.packages/protocol/spec/electron.ymland theelectroninitializer topackages/protocol/spec/playwright.yml(monolithicprotocol.ymlwas split into per-interface files in chore: split protocol.yml #40645).timezoneId,ignoreHTTPSErrors,recordVideo,recordHar,acceptDownloads,artifactsDir,bypassCSP.electronApp.close({ timeout })API), so this branch ships a clean revert with no timeout option.tests/electron/electron-options-app.jsso the migration tests added in feat(electron): move Electron API to a separate package #40184 (should set timezone via process.env.TZ,should ignore https errors via --ignore-certificate-errors switch) keep passing, and re-addsacceptDownloads: truetoshould report downloads.
