Safari starting up on refresh

[waldbach]

There seems to be a bug where Safari (on a Mac) starts up when it's not running on refresh. The currently running browser (in my case Firefox Developer Edition) is refreshing after launching Safari. For now, as a temporary workaround, I commented out Safari, since I don't use that for testing.

In BrowserRefresh.py I commented out:

        elif browser_name == 'all':
            refresher.chrome()
           # refresher.safari()
            refresher.firefox()
            refresher.opera()

I guess the reason is that you have some applications like Slack opened - which is using the Safari browser. So if your config is

"browser_name" : "all"

It will also open a Safari window and try to refresh.

I specified a browser_name in sublime settings and it's ok now.

"browser_name" : "Google Chrome"

How would I go about making the plugin refresh both chrome and safari, if I'm not setting the prefs to "all"

@chrleon The plugin is supposed to refresh all open browsers when set to "all". Currently it seems that Safari is starting on refresh because the plugin is wrongfully detecting Safari running when it's not.

There's no way to specify 2 specific browser to refresh but that seems like a great fix for this particular issue.

I propose removing the "all" option and replacing the "browser_name" option for something like this

"browsers": ["chrome", "firefox"]

This way you could recreate the "all" option by listing all the browsers you want and we could remove the running browser logic from the plugin.

Yes I tried that, but it still fired Safari. I'll have a look again, and see if I (likely) messed something up, before I posted.
