Question

I updated My flutter Version from 1.22 to 2.0. There are some errors in Flutter Doctor. How Could I solve this. That happen Afer Updated my Flutter Version.
I am Using Android Studion 4.1.2, Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS(64 bit)

Answer 1

For Ubuntu 20.04, chromium is managed by snap. I set the environment variable as shown below.
CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/snap/bin/chromium
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE
Try 'type chromium' to make sure of the location on your system. I assume something similar will work for chrome.

Answer 2

For ones who use MacOS and with another chromium-based browser than Google Chrome (Brave in my case). You can set in .zshrc or .bashrc
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/Applications/Brave Browser.app/Contents/MacOS/Brave Browser"
After that, don't forget to source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc in the current terminal window.
flutter doctor -v
Now, "Chrome" will be seen as "Brave".

Answer 3

I had the same error in Windows 10, Using VS Code even after setting CHROME_EXECUTABLE system environmental variable to the path of chrome.exe. I solved it by removing the double quotes around the path:

Answer 4

Even though you have a google chrome app in your system. It may have command like google-chrome-stable or chrome or any name to open chrome browser from terminal. Just duplicate the file with google-chrome name in /usr/bin/
Eg: I have google-chrome-stable as executable so my approach is like
sudo cp /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable /usr/bin/google-chrome
You may have bin in snap folder or some other folder depending on your installation way
If you're not having chrome as executable from terminal then create a symbolic link. Find your chrome binary file and use this command
sudo ln -s $PATH/[google-chrome-bin] /usr/bin/google-chrome
Replace [google-chrome-bin] with your binary file name

I'm on a Chromebook. I installed Flutter and Android Studio. When I ran $flutter doctor -v, I got the same error message that you got.
I didn't need to export the file path to my path environment. I just needed to install Chrome so that Flutter could find it on my Chromebook.
Here was the command that worked for me:
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
Then I installed it using the Linux beta command (right click on the downloaded file, install using Linux beta). It installed it to this directory:
/usr/bin/
(Alternatively, for the install, I could've used this command:
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb)
I ran flutter doctor -v and now it finds Chrome.

you can export PATH in your .bashrc or .zshrc if you use Linux or MAC OS
you can found installed chrome PATH using which
for example
which google-chrome
# example result : /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
then add to .zshrc or .bashrc like this
# Chrome PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/google/chrome
then restart source
source .zshrc # change if you use .bashrc
running the flutter doctor
you will see the output like this

The answers here have helped me setup Flutter on Mac with Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome.
For that, you simply run from your terminal:
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge"
If you want to make this permanent, you should add the above line to the file
~/.zshenv or ~/.zshrc
Then save and restart terminal.

Answer 8

For Linux users, you can add Edge Browser like this...
first, add this path in .bashrc file path
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/microsoft-edge-stable
then execute this command
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/usr/bin/microsoft-edge-stable"

Answer 9

For MacOS Users
cd to /Users/<your user>
sudo nano ~/.zshenv
Add the following:
export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge"
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/Applications/Microsoft Edge.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Edge"
Save the file and restart the IDE terminal
Run flutter doctor

Answer 10

For MacOs User (Vivaldi Browser)
This command sets your PATH variable for the current terminal window only. To permanently add CHROME_EXECUTABLE to your path
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/Vivaldi"
To permanently add CHROME_EXECUTABLE to your path
Open (or create) the rc file for your shell. Typing echo $SHELL in your Terminal tells you which shell you’re using. If you’re using Bash, edit $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc. If you’re using Z shell, edit $HOME/.zshrc. If you’re using a different shell, the file path and filename will be different on your machine.
If you are using zsh create .zshrc enter a command touch .zshrc which will create a .zshrc file at your hardisk and vice versa for bash.
Go to your finder and press shift + command + H after that again hit a command shift + command + . you will find .zshrc file.
now open .zrch file and add your path
CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/Applications/Vivaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/Vivaldi"
and restart your terminal and you are done.

Answer 11

in my case it was because the name of my chrome was "google chrome 2.app"
i renamed it to "google chrome.app"

Answer 12

You can also try with just chrome instead of google-chrome.
