Trying out 0.31.0 I see an issue where my forked app (from the renderer) is quitting instantly as soon as I set its execArgv to --debug to be able to debug it. I verified that this does not happen in an earlier version of Electron (0.27.1):
main.js
var app = require('app'); // Module to control application life.
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window'); // Module to create native browser window.
// Report crashes to our server.
require('crash-reporter').start();
// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
// be closed automatically when the javascript object is GCed.
var amainWindow = null;
// Quit when all windows are closed.
app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
if (process.platform != 'darwin')
app.quit();
});
// This method will be called when Eolectron has done everything
// initialization and ready for creating browser windows.
app.on('ready', function() {
// Create the browser window.
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({width: 800, height: 600, show: true});
// and load the index.html of the app.
mainWindow.loadUrl('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html');
// Open the devtools.
mainWindow.openDevTools();
// Emitted when the window is closed.
mainWindow.on('closed', function() {
// Dereference the window object, usually you would store windows
// in an array if your app supports multi windows, this is the time
// when you should delete the corresponding element.
mainWindow = null;
});
});

The fact that app.js has a listener installed should let it keep running, but instead it closes.
