Testing deeplinking features while inside of a development environment?

[lethal swift]

Hi everyone! I am using deeplinking for my electron app via:

app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient('makeayo').

I'd like to test for the app.on('second-instance') events that occur when I open my electron app via deeplinking:

makeayo://my_url

However, this only works in packaged versions of my app. Is there a way to test out deeplinking features in a development environment i.e. via npm run start?

Thanks!

I think you need to package unfortunately
