Environment Variables
Control application configuration and behavior without changing code.
Some behaviors of Electron are controlled by environment variables, because they are initialized earlier than command line and the app's code.
Examples on POSIX shells:
$ export ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
$ electron
on Windows console:
> set ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=true
> electron
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE
Starts the process as a normal Node.js process.
ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING
Prints Chrome's internal logging to the console.
ELECTRON_LOG_ASAR_READS
When Electron reads from an ASAR file, log the read offset and file path to
the system tmpdir. The resulting file can be provided to the ASAR module
to optimize file ordering.
ELECTRON_ENABLE_STACK_DUMPING
When Electron crashes, prints the stack trace to the console.
This environment variable will not work if the crashReporter is started.
ELECTRON_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE Windows
Shows the Windows's crash dialog when Electron crashes.
This environment variable will not work if the crashReporter is started.
ELECTRON_NO_ATTACH_CONSOLE Windows
Don't attach to the current console session.
ELECTRON_FORCE_WINDOW_MENU_BAR Linux
Don't use the global menu bar on Linux.
