Make opening browser optional #120

Open peterhil opened 1 year ago

peterhil commented 1 year ago

I am using FreeBSD for development, and just spent two days to convert bundling from Rollup to Vite, because this plugin seemed promising for handling V3 manifest inconsistencies.

Only after I got that done, I realised that this plugin always opens a browser on dev mode using web-ext, which does not support FreeBSD. So PLEASE make this feature optional through config.

Bit tired of this...

Why don't you just remove that part of the script from the package.json?

peterhil commented 1 year ago

I was not using web-ext on the package.json script, but just this plugin, which under the uses web-ext and tries to open a web browser after building on dev mode. That's why opened this issue.

This plugin doesn't use web-ext at all.

If you used npm init @samrum/vite-plugin-web-extension@latest to generate a template extension, that'll use web-ext to open a browser when you use run serve:chrome or serve:firefox, but nowhere else.

If you're seeing a browser open some other way, this plugin isn't doing it.
