When entering the following command in Windows 10 and start a headless chrome version, nothing is happening (with/without extensions):
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
--disable-extensions --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf
It just returns to the command line silently and I can't find any pdf file.
Does anybody had the same issue and manage to solve it ?
I'm using : Google Chrome 63.0.3239.84 (Official Build) (64-bit) (cohort: 63_win_84)
It looks like Chrome doesn't have rights to write in the directory.
Try to launch command with --enable-logging flag. Like:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
--enable-logging --disable-extensions --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf
You will receive an error. Fix it and it will start to work.

How do I use Headless Chrome in Chrome 60 on Windows 10?
I was experiencing this problem.
My solution was to go and download the Canary Build for Chrome.
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/canary.html
This will then get installed to C:\User\userName\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application. Try running your commands pointing to this install.
chrome needs full path also.
To use it in cmd.exe:
start chrome --enable-logging --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=%cd%\output.pdf https://www.google.com/

I am working in WSL2 on Windows 11 trying to run an index.js file with Live Server. Whenever I open Live Server it seems that I can only do so when I use Microsoft Edge. This seems to add another layer of problems because the JavaScript does not seem to be working as I would expect. For example, if I click a button element I don't see any animations to signify a "click".
I have checked that "liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser": "chrome" is indeed reflectin Chrome in the VS Code settings, but when this is the case there are no windows that pop up at all. The only thing that I see trigger is a notification that tells me that the server is active on Port 5000, just no window popping up to demonstrate that. Ideally I would like to try and open Live Server with Chrome, but if this isn't possible in Windows 11 then is there a way to make JavaScript behave in Microsoft Edge?
I've the same configuration and the same issue. I've raised the issue #2445 in Github.
A workaround solution is to call directly your chrome program installed under windows to your liveserver setting.
check that chrome is well installed on W10 or W11. You can test it by opening a command line and running "start chrome", then chrome browser must open.
look for chrome' installed directory. You can use this command to find it: sudo find /mnt/c/ -type f -iname chrome.exe 2>&1 | grep -v "Permission denied". For me this it's here:mnt/c/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application.chrome.exe.
Now change liveserver setting on your settings.json file:
{
"liveServer.settings.AdvanceCustomBrowserCmdLine": "/mnt/c/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222",
}
Now chrome should start when you run liverserver.
Hope this help
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)
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.
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".
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:
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
Doctor summary (to see all details, run flutter doctor -v):
[✓] Flutter (Channel stable, 2.2.1, on Linux, locale en_US.UTF-8)
[✓] Android toolchain - develop for Android devices (Android SDK version
30.0.3)
[✓] Chrome - develop for the web
[✓] Android Studio (version 4.2)
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.
For Linux users, you can add Edge Browser like this...
first, add this path in .bashrc file path
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/microsoft-edge-stable
then execute this command
export CHROME_EXECUTABLE="/usr/bin/microsoft-edge-stable"
For MacOS Users
cd to /Users/<your user>
sudo nano ~/.zshenv
Add the following:
export PATH="$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
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.
in my case it was because the name of my chrome was "google chrome 2.app"
i renamed it to "google chrome.app"
You can also try with just chrome instead of google-chrome.
I have Ubuntu LTS 20.04 running on wsl2 in Windows, this way I'm able to compile my JS/React code and run my php server in linux and use windows to code using Visual Studio Code.
This is running great, but a strange thing is happening, I installed nvm and gulp through the Visual Studio Code terminal and if I use them on the terminal it works fine but not if I do it outside the terminal (using Windows terminal), it says not found for both gulp and nvm.
I assume VSCode is adding a few things to the PATH but I don't know what to do for them to be found by the windows terminal (outisde VSCode terminal). Screen below. On the left is the result of running nvm list inside VS Code terminal and on the right on Ubuntu terminal, which can't find.
I'm a bit confused by your question. It sounds like you're installing programs on Windows through the VSCode terminal, and then trying to run them on Windows but it's not working. But then your screenshot shows the WSL Ubuntu prompt failing to find the command. Assuming you want to run these under WSL, log in to WSL Ubuntu and run this:
find / -name nvm
If you actually want to use the Windows terminal to run the program, you'll have to find where it is installed in Windows and make sure that's in your %PATH% but this doesn't seem like it's what you're trying to do.
The correct answer was provided by the comment from MindSwipe.
On VSCODE terminal if I "echo $PATH" it has the nvm directory in it while the $PATH on WSL doesn't, I assume VSCODE alters its own terminal PATH when the tools are installed using it instead of the global WSL path.
I've changed the WSL path and it's now working, how can I present the bounty to MindSwipe ?
I am using VS code 1.8.1 on Mac 10.12.3 (16D32). After launch vscode, I run cmd shift p to open command search field. Then run Install code command in Path. I can see the code got added on PATH but it got removed after I close vs code. Is there a way to add it permanently?
So I've just had this issue during setup of a new laptop and found a simple (but slightly embarrassing) solution that worked for me. After faffing about with it for way too long I noticed I had left it in Downloads. I moved the .app file to /Applications and ran the command-line install function again and now the "code" command persists.
Add this to your ~/.bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"
source: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/mac
I am assuming you've checked this link.
VSCode application generally resides in /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code.
Follow these steps to access VSCode through code on shell.
Open bash_profile page
sudo vi /etc/paths
Add an extra line in the list of PATH folders as
/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/
Exit from vi: Esc > :wq! > Enter Key
Restart shell. Then do echo $PATH to confirm VSCode has been added successfully.
Check code command is added by typing which code. You should see VSCode path printed on screen.
Try this link if it doesn't work out.
Edit: I am using version 1.9.1 and after I ran Install code command in Path it got added permanently.
Visual Studio Code
rm /usr/local/bin/code
ln -s "/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code" /usr/local/bin/code
Visual Studio Code - Insiders
rm /usr/local/bin/code-insiders
ln -s "/Applications/Visual Studio Code - Insiders.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code" /usr/local/bin/code-insiders
For Big Sur:
From the official docs:
Note: Since zsh became the default shell in macOS Catalina, run the
following commands to add VS Code to your path:
cat << EOF >> ~/.zprofile
# Add Visual Studio Code (code) export PATH="\$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio
Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin" EOF
I did this and it worked for me.
I am running Visual Studio Code - Insiders 1.23.0 on a Mac/Mac OS 10.10.5 Yosemite. I added the "Shell Command: Install 'code-insiders' command in PATH" from within VSC - Insiders. From the terminal in any directory I just add 'code-insiders .' and it launches in VSC - Insiders without issue.
Hope that helps.
For me, the problem was that Visual Studio Code.app was not in the Applications folder, but rather in the Downloads folder. Moving it there and re-running the add to path command fixed it for me.
I am trying to open .html file with the help of powershell. I am using Yeoman and opening it with the command "Grunt Server" but it keeps opening it in default browser. Which command should I use to open it (for example) with Chrome?
I could change my default browser to Chrome but it is just interesting to know.
You should try running start chrome <your_filename_path> from the command line.
Also if you know the Chrome path try opening via (for example):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" <your_filename_path>
hello pals if you want to open a index.html file by firefox, run on power-shell.
> c:\path/to/firefox.exe index.html
example in my case
> 'c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' .\index.html
