m.open_folder() on WSL #104

Closed jnhopark closed 5 months ago

jnhopark commented 3 years ago

I am running GEKKO in the WSL system, and getting this error when I run the m.open_folder(). 

Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "inode/directory"
Can't call method "get_value" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/mimeopen line 159.

It looks like this is an issue with the Python script trying to open a Linux xdg-dialog even though it is on a Windows system. I would expect that there are a number of other people starting to run into this type of issue now that WSL is getting more popular.

Maybe something like this would work? https://github.com/cpbotha/xdg-open-wsl

Something like this also looks quite promising. It looks like probably a good patch for the time being as well. https://github.com/4U6U57/wsl-open

@jnhopark You can just follow the standalone installation instructions at the bottom of the page and Gekko will probably work as is. No guarantees though.

This looks like an issue with WSL that should hopefully be fixed by the OS developments. I don't think we need to do anything from gekko development. Someone can always print(m._path) to find the temporary directory.
