Error in "Get Started" page #1555

Closed bb-harlan closed 8 years ago

bb-harlan commented 8 years ago

The following excerpt from https://www.dartlang.org/docs/tutorials/get-started/ is erroneous.

"When you download Dartium, you get a special build of the Chromium web browser that has the Dart VM (virtual machine) embedded. (While the app is referred to as Dartium, the executable is actually named Chromium.)"

The executable is not named Chromium; it is named Chrome. (... spent a lot of time looking for Chromium before realizing the error in the docs.)

@bb-harlan in my current version (1.15.0-dev.1.0, MacOS) it's still called Chromium. What version are you using?

bb-harlan commented 8 years ago

@kwalrath, I have the Windows version of Dart, version 1.14.1.

kwalrath commented 8 years ago

It's quite possible the name is different in Windows, but unfortunately I don't have a Windows system to check with.

bb-harlan commented 8 years ago

FWIW, here's screen shot of contents of Dartium folder.

Why would MacOS and Windows have the Chromium executable named differently?

kwalrath commented 8 years ago

Thank you! The executable name difference might be attributable to the installation tool, not to the actual build. I'll look into it.

kwalrath commented 8 years ago

Proposed fix is in #1561.

kwalrath commented 8 years ago

1561 is committed. The website probably won't be updated until next week.

Thank you for following through.
