Getting this error too when trying to open Google Chrome on Arch Linux.

seanmars commented 5 years ago

Get this error too on Windows 10 + Google Chrome.

kickgod commented 5 years ago

After I reinstalled the system, I installed this plugin and it looks like there is no problem.

Reinstalled what system?

ghost commented 5 years ago

Same issue. The solution is simple. Find the name of the exec command, for google chrome in arch linux is google-chrome-stable. Edit the command name in ~/.vscode/extensions/techer.open-in-browser-2.0.0/out/config.js. Change google-chrome to google-chrome-stable. Reload vscode. As reference in the repo out/config.js

After I installed Chinese version Firefox in kali Linux，the extension can't open html file no longer.

@b1tdust

Still not working after doing that, on ubuntu 18.04 here.

seshusurendra commented 5 years ago

I'm facing the same issue in win10...could some please help with this!!!!

jaekaetea commented 5 years ago

I experienced this and I found a solution for my error!

The folder that I put the .html file had an "&" in the title. Once I removed the "&" in the folder title, I haven't experienced this error.

Happy coding! :D

SudoKillMe commented 5 years ago

@b1tdust is right，the same browser on different OS may has different name. maybe I could figure it out.

If you have a '&' in your file path, delete it.

It is necessary to edit config in in file ~/.vscode/extensions/techer.open-in-browser-2.0.0/out/config.js. google-chrome to chromium-browser at standardName:platform

Workaround in Archlinux export BROWSER="/usr/bin/firefox" && code .

Or add variable BROWSER in ~/.bashrc export BROWSER="/usr/bin/firefox" then run source ~/.bashrc

You have to set default extension name in plugin open-in-browser with new as gc, google-chrome,chrome in vs code setting extensions. It work fine!! :)

I went to Manage Extensions after opening the settings > then entered "google-chrome". After that, it's working like a charm.

JOJ0 commented 1 year ago

@aliazhar-id you posted a lot of code without any context, thus I'd like to second what @eferro70 asked already: Where is this file and what did you change excatly? In my humble opinion and kindly speaking: Your post is not very helpful like this. Please elaborate. Me and probably others would appreciate it :-)

@thanhtai9606 you seem to have understodd what @aliazhar-id ment, since you quoted their code and answered. Unfortunately I don't understand your sentence. Could you please rephrase?

What I tried so far on my system:

Question to the extension developer @kickgod: Is setting exact paths for this setting supported? Should it work or do you only handle exectuable names like chrome, google-chrome and so on. How are paths handled? Are fully qualified paths handled at all?

What I tried so far on my system:

  • I'm on arch-like distro (Manjaro)
  • I'd like to use chrome and only have problems with that (launching firefox or opera works out of the box)
  • I tried to set the exact name that chrome has on my system. Launching chrome from the shell on my system is done like this:
$ google-chrome-stable
  • The exact location of this executable on my system is:
$ which google-chrome-stable
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
  • Setting this exact path in the vscode settings for the open-in-browser extension does not work!

Question to the extension developer @kickgod: Is setting exact paths for this setting supported? Should it work or do you only handle exectuable names like chrome, google-chrome and so on. How are paths handled? Are fully qualified paths handled at all?

ugh, that was a long time ago. sorry if that confused you all

So, what I did at that time was, open ~/.vscode/extensions/techer.open-in-browser-2.0.0/out/config.js (in my case arch linux, ofc)

then update the code like this (read the comments I gave in the code below) :

const chromeItem = {
    description: "Windows, Mac, Linux",
    detail: "A fast, secure, and free web browser built for the modern web",
    label: "Google Chrome",
    standardName: platform === 'win32'
        ? 'chrome'
        : (platform === 'darwin'
            ? 'google chrome'
            : 'google-chrome-stable'), //if you use google chrome stable version use this. if beta set to "google-chrome-beta".
    acceptName: ['chrome', 'google chrome', 'google-chrome', 'gc', '谷歌浏览器']
};

I don't really remember it, but as far as I remember, it's been a long time, guys

Berreycode commented 10 months ago

Try intalling an earlier version of the browser extention. This should in most cases fix the problem if you had a recent update.

The initial issue is 5 years old. That old of a version I should install? That what you suggesting? Thanks for clarifying, I'll give it a try after that. Thanks!
