Better tool to open urls for full cross platform functionality #343

Closed tanema closed 4 years ago

tanema commented 5 years ago

There are a number of instances where we need to open a url in the users browser but the most important use case is authentication. Currently this works great on mac but terrible everywhere else requiring that the use copy and paste a link into their browser.

We need a way to do this cross platform so that user experience is consistent

There is a gem that claims to do this but it will need to be tested github.com/copiousfreetime/launchy and there are often scenarios on windows that dont work even though they should. Often pointing to opening the browser manually. /mnt/c/Windows/explorer.exe http://google.com

This is not doable in a cross platform in ruby. It is better if we output the link and ask them to follow it.
