Add Edge to
run
Run supports all chromium based browsers by specifying such target which includes Edge, Opera... etc.
It does by specifying the --target as chromium and specifying --chromium-binary to the path of your Edge binary. I guess you are saying the current Edge, the legacy Edge is not supported.
Very cool, this works nicely:
web-ext run --no-config-discovery --start-url URL --verbose --target chromium --source-dir build/chrome-mv3-dev --chromium-binary "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
Adding such an example snippet to the documentation and/or README would be very useful
Sure, especially since there are developers who might think chromium only relates to chrome although the chromium-binary doc already says so. But anyway, since this is a open-source repo suggest you do an issue/pull-request to improve the documentation to include this use-case.
Does it work the same way on Linux/macOS? I.e. I provide the binary location?
I'm pretty sure it does since the documentation does not mention any specific OS (but I cannot personally confirm)
Patches are welcome. Preferably depending on either an official Microsoft-owned package to handle the path detection, or just embedding the OS-specific paths in this web-ext project itself, without any other dependencies.
I've been working on OSX and specifying my own browser using --firefox=/Application/browser.app/Contents/MacOS/binary, but (obviously) that fails on Linux. On Linux, it is easier since I can just use PATH, and specify --firefox=binary, but that doesn't seem to be 'the way' for OSX.
Is there a way to specify different values for --firefox per platform? Perhaps it is via the ENV? [EDIT: indeed setting WEB_EXT_FIREFOX in my shell 'rc' (different for each platform), and removing the option completely in my package.json, does the job :)]
