When I try to run the open-in-browser extension (TechER version; there are a few such extensions by roughly the same name) in VS Code (1.41.1), I continually get the following error message: "Open browser failed!! Please check if you have installed the browser correctly!"
I reinstalled google-chrome, made sure it was default, double-checked the xdg settings, but it still won't work. Any suggestions much appreciated
It is because there is no binary executable named google-chrome may be yours is google-chrome-stable .
One thing you can do is to copy the binary file google-chrome-stable and create a renamed file google-chrome
Or you can set a bah alias
alias google-chrome='google-chrome-stable'
I was having this same issue with the "open in browser" extension. I clicked on the settings icon and installed an older version 1.1.0. Its working again for me.

I'm trying to open google chrome from terminal in Ubuntu but after submiting google-chrome I'm getting this error:
ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported
I've installed it by following this tutorial: https://itsfoss.com/install-chrome-ubuntu/
I've looked at this but it didn't help me How to open google chrome from terminal?
Does anyone know how I can solve this issue?
Thanks!
I just ran
sudo apt list --upgradable
Chrome was one of the upgradable list, then ran the command
sudo apt upgrade
I had the same problem, updating the GPU drivers resolved the problem.
I installed Chromium via Snap instead (sudo snap install chromium). I get the same error message, but the browser appears to be running correctly anyway. I'd still like to know what it means and how to fix it....
We have a strong regression automation suite developed with Watir for Web Apps and Calabash for IOS and Android and so far our executions are happening on Mac OS.
We want to use RVM on Windows 10 so enabled bash feature on Windows 10 and installed RVM using Bash On Ubuntu On Windows. Using this installed RVM I would like to trigger the browsers installed on my Windows. I would like to know whether I am trying something that is possible ?
Just to check, I tried to trigger chrome browser in irb.
I placed my chrome driver below.
I have set my path and find the same below
On triggering chrome browser in irb I am getting the below error even though the path is set correct.
Selenium::WebDriver::Error::WebDriverError: Unable to find chromedriver.
I would like to know whether trying to trigger the browser installed on my windows environment through the Bash On Ubuntu On Windows terminal is practically possible attempt or not ? If so, please let me know where the disconnect had happened in my setup.
Below are the versions I am installed with .
rvm 1.29.3 (latest)
ruby-2.2.7
watir (6.8.4)
The error you are getting generally indicates that you have installed the chromedriver.exe file into a directory that is not on your path. Either move the file to a directory that is in the default path, or modify the path to add the directory with chromedriver.exe to the path.
Generally it's best to do that with the default path set by Windows on boot-up lest you have to have some batchfile that is run to alter the path before running IRB or a script that runs your tests.
Use the webdrivers gem. It ensures you always have the latest chromedriver.exe in your ~/.webdrivers directory, by downloading the newest version as necessary. It directs the Ruby code to use that driver regardless of what other chromedriver is on your system and whether it is or isn't on PATH.
Google Chrome on my machine recently got updated to v44.
I'm working with Selenium WebDriver on Chrome and as soon as I updated Chrome, all my tests went dead. I use Chromedriver v2.16. My partner's PC has Chrome v42.0.2311.90 and Chromedriver v2.16. And tests run fine on his machine. Now, based on this I'm pretty sure the problem is probably not with Chromedriver.
So, how can I downgrade to Chrome 42.0.2311.90?
I've tried using an offline installer from here:
Google Chrome Alternate Offline Installer
But this always gives me the latest version to install i.e. v44.
The release that I need can be found here:
Google Chrome v42.0.2311.90 Stable Channel Update
Uninstall your current chrome version.
Remove all Chrome data for current version from: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome
Download your particular version from chrome_installer.
Disable chrome updates using instructions given on this link.
Following steps help you to install your desired google chrome version :
1 - Uninstall your current google chrome version.
2 - Download your desired google chrome version from here : Google Chrome Download
3 - Restart PC once so if any registry or temp file stored of previous google chrome then it will get refresh.
4 - Install your downloaded google chrome. And then turn off automatic chrome update.
I struggled with this same problem on Mac, trying to downgrade, and stay downgraded from Chrome 53 to 52 due to a serious bug affecting webaudio.
None of the other recommendation appear to apply any more (or on Mac OS X at least). The app attempts to upgrade itself and there doesn't be a way to configure that in a "Chrome-friendly" way.
Eventually I resorted to force...
Close and uninstall Chrome
Edit your /etc/hosts file to prevent update checks from working by overriding the DNS entry:
0.0.0.0 tools.google.com
Find and download an old release. This is left as an exercise, this was actually hard and fraught with fear of bad binaries. I was able to cross-reference MD5s from one site that didn't have downloads with another that had downloads.
Install and run the older version
Important: Check the "About" page, and point and laugh at Chrome's attempts to check in.
This is how you can use an older chrome version "in general":
Uninstall your current chrome
Install the chrome version you desire
DO NOT open chrome!! after installation
Instead disable auto-updates like here or here
Only then may you work with your desired chrome browser version
As for how to get a specific older version:
You need to google, search forums or try sites like this. It's just "grunt work" to find the version you are looking for. If you're extremely unlucky, the very version you need might even not be around any more.
If you are running on a windows machine you can leverage the package manager chocolatey, this is how we I'm doing it from Jenkins, we call a powershell that uninstalls a previous version and install a specific one: From a powershell ide script window, you need to have installed the modules for chocolatey that is a small price to pay for a lot of benefit:
choco install googlechrome --version 62.0.3202.94 -y
Then to prevent Chrome to self update I am performing this steps:
1. Verify Chrome's current version.
(Get-Item (Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\chrome.exe').'(Default)').VersionInfo
Install the version I'm aiming for:
choco install googlechrome --version 62.0.3202.94 -y
You can look for available versions here:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/GoogleChrome
(Find Version History Section)
Kill GoogleCrashHandler.exe in any of its variants 32 or 64 bits or both.
Delete the Directories
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\CrashReporter
You will loose the ability to auto update (which is the whole purpose right) and
you will loose the ability to send crash reports and piggy back on that executable to update against your will whenever google deems convenient.

I saw this two videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVSo4buDAEE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6qe_kVaBpg
and I wanted to try google workspaces on my linux desktop
I followed these instructions: https://plus.google.com/+GoogleChromeDevelopers/posts/644qQuBKZeL
And this detailed tutorial: http://devcoma.blogspot.it/2013/01/how-to-enable-workspace-experiment-on.html
But the "File system folders in Sources Panel" won't show up
I tried with "Chromium Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3)"
and also with "Chrome Version 29.0.1530.2 dev"
(I installed this dev version from http://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel)
Anybody had any luck whith this?
I found the way to test it.
These are the steps I had to follow
Install a ppa with a more recent chromium version, from here:
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/new-chromium-stable-and-development.html
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-v-shkop/chromium-dev
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
as of today it install Version 27.0.1453.6 Ubuntu 13.04 (191032)
Open the browser and in the url bar enter chrome://flags/
enabled "Enable Developer Tools experiments."
restart the browser
open the web page you want to debug using workspaces
press F12 to open the dev tool
press F1 to open the settings panel
go to Experiments and check "File system folders in Sources Panel"
restart browser
in your file system, add a file named .allow-devtools-edit
cd
touch .allow-devtools-edit
once again, press F12, F1, and select Workspace, add folder, and add the root of your project
to map your web site to your file system, right click on any js file and select 'Map to network resource', then choose the corresponding file
and that's it, in the Workspace section of your Settings, you will see that a mapping has been added, with something like
'http://localhost:9000' -> '/home/opensas/dev/apps/my_js_project'
The good news is that it seems that with the latest Google Chrome development version everything works out of the box, no need to mess around with development or experimental features.
This question is a duplicate for this one
In the Dev-channel version things were changed a bit.
So you don't need to enable devtools experiments
and don't need to manually create .allow-devtools-edit
I just downloaded PhpStorm 5 on my quite fresh ubuntu.
During the first start I installed a couple of plug-ins.
Now - after the installation of those plug-ins - PhpStorm is not starting up anymore.
No splash screen is showing up. No error gets written on the terminal:
gue#ubuntu:~$ phpstorm
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
gue#ubuntu:~$
What shall I do with that drunken sailor?
I can't find any logfiles, no configuration file/directory in my home directory.
Since I'm used to Eclipse I've no clue where to look for a trace in this IntelliJ derivate...
If you're on Windows deleting the following directory helped me:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\
Some plug-ins can cause problems and prevent IDE from starting, if it happens, you should delete the directory containing plug-in manually. Location of this directory depends on the system and product, details are available in the FAQ.
For PhpStorm on Linux it would be ~/.WebIde50/config/plugins.
This happend to me too, I had created a custom vmoptions file, and entered incorrect values. I fixed it by deleting it in ~/.WebIde50/phpstorm.vmoptions
i had the same problem , i fixed it just with removing the file C:\Users\.PhpStorm2016.2
In linux, I fixed it by deleting vmoptions file of PhpStorm and then launching it again:
mv ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/phpstorm64.vmoptions ~/.config/JetBrains/PhpStorm*/__phpstorm64.vmoptions
It might be possible if openjdk is installed then phpstorm not opened.
So remove first then follow steps that given in below link.
I solve the problem same way.
wiki.jetbrains.net/intellij/Installing_and_running_PHPStorm_on_Ubuntu
Here is how you fix this: Rename C:\Users\USERNAME.PhpStorm2016.3 to something else (anything, like PhpStorm2016.whatever) , it will start the program if you click on the phpStorm icon, then choose to import settings, and you're good to go ;)
I am using PhpStorm2020.2.1. I referred to Configuration directory. I accessed the folder %AppData%\JetBrains\PhpStorm2020.2, renamed it just in case I may need some files in future.
Voila! I can start my PhpStorm2020.2.1 again!
I had this problem yesterday and my OS is windows 10. phpStorm suddenly did not work and when I click on it nothing happened. I just downloaded JDK from this link (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html) and after installation, I set the environment value in the system setting for my java directory. You can use this link to set the environment (https://javatutorial.net/set-java-home-windows-10)
For me I had to remove all cache for the IDE located in:
~/.cache/JetBrains/
I have changed the VMOptions under the Help menu on MacOS and it just would not start up again. It just silently failed every time. I found the file at /Applications/PhpStorm.app/Contents/MacOS/phpstorm and ran it in the terminal, which gave me an output with the following error:
Invalid ReservedCodeCacheSize=3072M. Must be at most 2048M.
Luckily, it also gave me the path to the VMOptions file in one of the rows of the output, parseVMOptions: /Users/barnabas/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/PhpStorm2022.3/phpstorm.vmoptions in my case, so I could change it back to a valid configuration. Crisis averted.
Simple
Go to your task manager
end any task on php-storm
and restart the ide again
it will work
Open Terminal Linux Ubuntu 20.10
YOU#USER:~$ cd ~/.config
YOU#USER:~/.config$ ls
Obs: Locate the >>> JetBrains <<< folder, after that delete it your default app settings will disappear more it will open again
YOU#USER:~/.config$ sudo rm -rf JetBrains/
Open PHPSTORM
