Lighthouse: Lighthouse CL --view opens blank page

[DavidScales]

Apologies if I'm missing something basic. I'm not able to the the --view flag to open my report:

node -v
// v8.9.4

npm install -g lighthouse
// success

lighthouse https://airhorner.com/ --view
// no errors - report generated airhorner.com_2018-02-16_15-06-20.report.html
// empty browser window opens

I can open the report by manually opening the generated file, but the --view flag simply opens my browser to the default home page - no report.

I have Chrome 64.0.32 on Mac OS 10.13.3

Any ideas?

can you tell us which version of lighthouse you're running?
lighthouse --version

hm strange behavior I'm not sure I've seen this before. We're just using opn under the hood for this. Does this simple script work for you?

```js
const opn = require('opn')
opn('airhorner.com_2018-02-16_15-06-20.report.html')

The script wasn't working, and my coworker was able to run --view successfully, so like any debugging expert I basically just restarted Chrome ;) and that seems to have fixed it... haha.

Sorry about that - should have tried that sooner.
