* Bump to Electron 12.0.5 with Chrome 89.0.4389.128
* Add newly discovered Google internal login page (#1167)
* Fix Widevine by properly listening to widevine-... events, and update docs (fix #1153) (PR #1164)
As documented in #1153, for Widevine support to work properly, we need to listen for the Widevine ready event, and as well for certain sites the app must be signed.
This PR adds the events, and as well adds better documentation on the signing limitation.
This may also help resolve #1147

This PR adds an optional, customizable menu of predefined bookmarks. In addition to containing a list of bookmarks, this file customizes the name of the menu and (optionally) allows assigning keyboard shortcuts to bookmarks. It adds a new command-line flag, `--bookmarks-menu <string>`, which can be set as the path to a JSON file containing configuration for the bookmarks menu.
Example of such a JSON file:
```json
{
"menuLabel": "Music",
"bookmarks": [
{
"title": "lofi.cafe",
"url": "https://lofi.cafe/",
"type": "link",
"shortcut": "Cmd+1"
},
{
"title": "beats to relax/study to",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A",
"type": "link",
"shortcut": "Cmd+2"
},
{
"type": "separator"
},
{
"title": "RÜFÜS DU SOL Live from Joshua Tree",
"type": "link",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy4KtD98S2c"
}
]
}

## Checks
- [x] `npm run ci` passes
## Notes
Compared to the fork linked in #1065, this PR:
- adds no dependencies
- doesn't currently support submenus (this should be easy enough to add, but I didn't need it)

As discussed in #283 this PR will allow injected JS to do SOME interaction with the Electron session.
There is a full explanation of what this feature can, and cannot do, with examples in the api.md documentation.
This will provide a path for resolving many of our issues where users may "self-service" the solution by injecting JS that performs the task needed to meet their objectives.

I'd like to 1. merge this PR, 2. immediately follow up with a small commit removing the flag & adjusting api.md, 3. release with the change well-documented / asking for feedback if this is problematic to anyone. (I'm not asking you any extra work, and like leaving an in-tree commit trace of considering the flag). If people complain with a valid reason, we'll restore the flag with a quick revert, else we're happy with one less flag and a reasonably-handled breaking change.

In 6b266b7815, as I got rid of deprecated dep `wurl`, I wrote:

Turns out it's even more problematic: @TheCleric notices in https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/pull/1124#issuecomment-790279403
that this breaks app `https://evernote.com` doing its login in `www.evernote.com`
The present change fixes this, by behaving mostly similarly to before,
but without re-introducing `wurl` or another dep needing a TLD/SLD list.
- Docker builds for Windows are fixed (fixes #997)
- Switched over to use Alpine (as was indicated as desired in https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/issues/375#issuecomment-304247033) - which may mean #375 is fixed as well.
- Fixed bug where Docker has the wrong line endings when copying from a Windows host
- Fixed the invalid `arm` arch to `armv7l`
- Add `npm t` to the docker build to ensure tests pass before we start trying to do builds
- Add a message to help the user when trying to build Mac apps on Windows as a non-Admin (currently an unhelpful exception)

I noticed that the development README suggested using multiple console
windows/tabs for a good development experience. Using the package `concurrently`,
we can streamline that and require only one window with output for both watch processes:

As documented in https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/923#issuecomment-599300317 ,
- #923 is caused by installing placeholder app deps at nativefier
*install* time, with yarn (8.0.2) or npm (8.0.3). This is new in
Nativefier 8.x, for the motivations behind it, see
https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/pull/898#issuecomment-583865045
- During testing, I did test global installs, but never to a
system / non-user-writable path (my `$npm_config_prefix` is set to
`"$HOME/.node_modules"`)
- But without such a config and when installing globally to a
non-user-writable/system path with `sudo npm i -g nativefier`,
- Installation of nativefier core works...
- ... but then `postinstall` tries to do its job of installing
app deps, and fails in various OS-dependent ways, but all about
access rights.
I suspect that, although main nativefier install runs as `su` with
access rights to system paths, `postinstall` scripts are run *out*
of `su`.
That would make sense for security reasons: out of hook scripts,
npm knows exactly what will be touched in your filesystem: it's the
static contents of the published tarball; a postinstall script with
sudo rights could do nasty dynamic stuff. So, although I don't see
any mention of that in
[npm-scripts docs / hooks](https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/scripts#hook-scripts)
and I haven't dug npm/cli's code, I can understand it.
So, reverting back to `webpack`ing the placeholder app, as done pre-8.0.
## Breaking changes
- Require **Node >= 8.10.0 and npm 5.6.0**
- Move to **Electron 8.1.1**.
- That's it. Lots of care went into breaking CLI & programmatic behavior
as little as possible. **Please report regressions**.
- Known issue: build may fail behind a proxy. Get in touch if you use one:
https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/907#issuecomment-596144768
## Changes summary
Nativefier didn't get much love recently, to the point that it's
becoming hard to run on recent Node, due to old dependencies.
Also, some past practices now seem weird, as better expressible
by modern JS/TS, discouraging contributions including mine.
Addressing this, and one thing leading to another, came a
bigger-than-expected revamp, aiming at making Nativefier more
**lean, stable, future-proof, user-friendly and dev-friendly**,
while **not changing the CLI/programmatic interfaces**. Highlights:
- **Require Node>=8**, as imposed by many of our dependencies. Node 8
is twice LTS, and easily available even in conservative Linux distros.
No reason not to demand it.
- **Default to Electron 8**.
- **Bump** all dependencies to latest version, including electron-packager.
- **Move to TS**. TS is great. As of today, I see no reason not to use it,
and fight interface bugs at runtime rather than at compile time.
With that, get rid of everything Babel/Webpack.
- **Move away from Gulp**. Gulp's selling point is perf via streaming,
but for small builds like Nativefier, npm tasks are plenty good
and less dependency bloat. Gulp was the driver for this PR: broken
on Node 12, and I didn't feel like just upgrading and keeping it.
- Add tons of **verbose logs** everywhere it makes sense, to have a
fine & clear trace of the program flow. This will be helpful to
debug user-reported issues, and already helped me fix a few bugs.
- With better simple logging, get rid of the quirky and buggy
progress bar based on package `progress`. Nice logging (minimal
by default, the verbose logging mentioned above is only used
when passing `--verbose`) is better and one less dependency.
- **Dump `async` package**, a relic from old callback-hell early Node.
Also dump a few other micro-packages unnecessary now.
- A first pass of code **cleanup** thanks to modern JS/TS features:
fixes, simplifications, jsdoc type annotations to types, etc.
- **Remove GitHub integrations Hound & CodeClimate**, which are more
exotic than good'ol'linters, and whose signal-to-noise ratio is too low.
- Quality: **Add tests** and add **Windows + macOS CI builds**.
Also, add a **manual test script**, helping to quickly verify the
hard-to-programatically-test stuff before releases, and limit regressions.
- **Fix a very small number of existing bugs**. The goal of this PR was
*not* to fix bugs, but to get Nativefier in better shape to do so.
Bugfixes will come later. Still, these got addressed:
- Add common `Alt`+`Left`/`Right` for previous/next navigation.
- Improve #379: fix zoom with `Ctrl` + numpad `+`/`-`
- Fix pinch-to-zoom (see https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/379#issuecomment-598612128 )
- Add a new `clearCache` option and `--clear-cache` parameter
to trigger session cleanups upon window launch and close
- Covers the feature request from issue #316
- Use case example: Forcing authentification / login between sessions without limiting cache size
* Fix for CSS Injection not working (#703)
Issue:
When using `onHeadersReceived`, the code was passing `null` for the filters.
This appears to trigger behaviour that matches _no_ urls at all.
This results in it never being called to inject the CSS.
Fix:
Pass an empty array instead. Now it's called for all URLs.
Tests pass & linting is clean
* Fix JavaScript injection (#731)
Issue:
It appears that on low endd evices (Core m3 MacBook), the attachment to
`DOMContentLoaded` happens _after_ the event has been raised, so does
not have a chance to inject the script.
Fix:
Move the attachment to the top of the file -- before the imports. This
triggers a bunch of linting erros, so also added disablement inplace.
Additional:
Clarified when the injected JS gets loaded, and what it can assume about
the DOM.
