• Electron version: 0.36.9
• Operating system: OSX

I have an application that can accept CLI arguments. I noticed when I built the app that process.argv is not the same as when running electron while developing.

When running electron from the command line process.argv looks like:

electron ./my-app --foo --ping=123

[
  '/Users/bmann/Dev/my-app/node_modules/electron-prebuilt/dist/Electron.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron',
  './my-app',
  '--foo',
  '--ping=123'
]

This is good because typically when you parse CLI args you do something like:
minimist(process.argv.slice(2))

This matches what its like to use node regularly such as node index.js --foo --ping=123

However when passing args directly to my built app, process.argv looks like this:

./MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron --foo --ping=123

[
  '/Users/bmann/Dev/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron',
  '--foo',
  '--ping=123'
]

This is bad because now minimist(process.argv.slice(2)) misses the args. I get why this is happening but it is unfortunately not easy to work around, and I did not have this problem with nwjs.
