Markdown Preview Unable to Launch Browser #85

Closed Salamendrine closed 4 years ago

Salamendrine commented 5 years ago

Hey, I am trying to use MarkdownPreview to build .md file on macOS with freshly installed package. The settings of MarkdownPreview is 

{
    "enable_autoreload": true,
    "browser": "default",
    "enable_highlight": true
}

The problem is that every time when I try to preview in default browser (Safari), though the status bar says that "Markdown Preview launched in default browser", there is nothing actually happening in my browser. I tried to change the browser to others like /Applications/Safari.app or /Applications/Google Chrome.app but it gives cannot execute "/Applications/Safari.app". I also tried to remove and install again the package, but it does not help. It seems that no one before have encountered this exact problem and I wonder if anyone could help me out.

I'll take a look and see if I can reproduce sometime soon. I've never had issues with this, but I'll see.

macOS Catalina with Safari browser

I solved this problem:

{
     "browser": "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS"
}

Interesting, I'll have to look into to why it couldn't detect it, or at least properly open when using default.

I solved this problem:

{
     "browser": "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS"
}

Does not work for me. I get the error, cannot execute "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS" Please check your markdown preview settings.

After upgrading to MacOS Catalina, my browser stopped launching, though the status bar said it had. The solution that worked for me, via Sublime Text -> Preferences -> Package Settings -> Markdown Preview:

{ "browser": "/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari" } or...

{ "browser": "/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser" }

I quit and re-opened Sublime Text after each settings update, though that may not have been necessary.

Yeah, my mac is too old :cry:. My wife's though is new enough that I can upgrade it to Catalina, if she let's me.

Something seems to have changed, and I'm not sure what. Until I get around to trying it out on a Catalina install, I can't investigate.

This worked!

2.2.5 fixes an issue with Catalina. Detecting the default browser should work again. Closing this as a duplicate of #92.
