desktop-test-app-electron

Electron companion to trycua/desktop-test-app for cua-sandbox MITM proxy integration tests.

CUA_LOAD_URL=https://example.com npx electron .

HTTP API

Same contract as the Tauri app — port 6769:

Method	Path	Description
GET	/health	200 OK
GET	/events	All logged events
POST	/reset	Clear events
GET	/clipboard	Clipboard text
GET	/window-title	Current window title
GET	/screen-size	{width, height}

Security posture

Simulates a typical closed-source Electron app:

• nodeIntegration: false, contextIsolation: true, webSecurity: true
• No --ignore-certificate-errors
• Respects system CA store via --use-system-default-ca (Linux)

For MITM tests install the proxy CA with update-ca-certificates and launch:

electron --use-system-default-ca .
