Launcher

This package finds and launches browsers for each operating system.

Developing

The TypeScript source files are in the lib folder.

To see the browsers detected on your machine, run the following from the packages/launcher directory. The @packages/ts require hook transpiles the TypeScript on the fly:

node -r @packages/ts/register -e "require('./lib/detect').detect().then(console.log, console.error)"

You can also check whether a specific binary is recognized as a browser by passing its path:

node -r @packages/ts/register -e "require('./lib/detect').detectByPath(process.argv[1]).then(console.log, console.error)" /usr/bin/chromium-browser

Testing

yarn workspace @packages/launcher test

Debugging

Uses debug to output debug log messages. To turn on, use

DEBUG=cypress:launcher:* yarn workspace @packages/launcher test

Verbose messages, including detailed stdout, are available under cypress-verbose:launcher:*.
