Browser-sync: Browser command line arguments.

Created on 24 Mar 2016 · 2Comments · Source: BrowserSync/browser-sync

I need to run browser with specific command line:

E.g.
chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222

Please specify which version of Browsersync, node and npm you're running

Browsersync [latest]
Node [x]
Npm [x]

Affected platforms
[ ] linux
[x] windows
[ ] OS X
[ ] freebsd
[ ] solaris
[ ] other _(please specify which)_

Browsersync use-case
[ ] API
[x] Gulp
[ ] Grunt
[ ] CLI

  bs.init({
    browser: 'chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222',
    files: 'client/**',
    ghostMode: false,
    proxy: 'http://localhost:3000'
  });

This just opens my default browser (Firefox).

This is out of scope for Browsersync core and can be easily added with something like this instead

bs.init({
    open: false,
    files: 'client/**',
    ghostMode: false,
    proxy: 'http://localhost:3000'
}, function (err, bs) {
    require('opn')(bs.options.getIn(['urls', 'local']), {app: ['google chrome', '--incognito']});
});

Great hint, but for me it was given:

[Browsersync] Watching files... (node:25781) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: spawn google chrome ENOENT at _errnoException (util.js:1022:11)

Fixed using 'google-chrome' instead of 'google chrome' though ...

require('opn')(bs.options.getIn(['urls', 'local']), {app: ['google-chrome', '--incognito']});
