Rust RFC Proposes a Security Tab on crates.io for RustSec Advisories
Rust’s crates.io team is advancing an RFC to add a Security tab that surfaces RustSec vulnerability and unsoundness advisories directly on crate pages.
electron-chromedriver
Advanced tools
Simple node module to download the ChromeDriver version for Electron.
The major version of this library tracks the major version of the Electron
versions released. So if you are using Electron 2.0.x you would want to use
an electron-chromedriver dependency of ~2.0.0 in your package.json file.
This library is used by spectron.
npm install --save-dev electron-chromedriver
chromedriver -h
You can set the ELECTRON_MIRROR or NPM_CONFIG_ELECTRON_MIRROR
environment variables to use a custom base URL for downloading ChromeDriver zips.
# Electron mirror for China
ELECTRON_MIRROR="https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/"
# Local mirror
# Example of requested URL: http://localhost:8080/1.2.0/chromedriver-v2.21-darwin-x64.zip
ELECTRON_MIRROR="http://localhost:8080/"
The version downloaded can be overriden by setting the ELECTRON_CUSTOM_VERSION environment variable.
