Opening the browser on your device failed как исправить

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

Get this error too on Windows 10 + Google Chrome.

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

Reinstalled what system?

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.

Available with version 1.1.0

@b1tdust

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

I’m facing the same issue in win10…could some please help with this!!!!

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!

please anyone solve my problem asap

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

@b1tdust even after doing this procedure, same error appearing

I have The same problem, and it started after i installed nodeJs on my Computer, It didn’t work either
After i tryed to debugg in VS-Code with Node something happend. I have checked all the settings for Live Server Extension, The settings for the envirement variables on the computer and even re-installed VS-Code but nothing work. ???

Any suggestions ?? My Config for Live Server looks like this:
{
«webRoot»: «${workspaceFolder}»,
«window.zoomLevel»: 1,
«liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser»: «chrome»

}

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

const chromeItem = {

            : 'chromium-browser'),
    acceptName: ['chromium-browser', 'chrome', 'google chrome', 'google-chrome'$
};

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

same issue..I have installed live server too .But both are not working

@kickgod
open-in-browser by coderfee
install this extension it will work for all linux distros
then press ctrl+k then D it will open your HTML file in default browser.

I’m having this issue on Windows.
I reinstalled VS code and the extension and the same error comes up.
I looked at the Github repo. but in not sure what to do.
does someone know what to do? to resolve this issue?

i’m on arch linux with google chrome stable version and i solved this issue with this.

I had the same problem and i changed «chrome» in setting.json (Vscode) to :
«liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser»: «google-chrome-stable»,
ps: I use manjaro !

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!!
