Launchy :: ApplicationNotFoundError:

Question

Trying to get save_and_open_page to work at all gives me the following error:

 1) index page my first test Failure/Error: save_and_open_page Launchy::ApplicationNotFoundError: No application found to handle 'C:/Sites/Sublist_v2/tmp/capybara/capybara-201304211638563116158687.html' # ./spec/features/comics_page_spec.rb:6:in `block (2 levels) in <top (required)>' 

Spec:

 require 'spec_helper' feature 'index page' do scenario "my first test" do visit root_path save_and_open_page # Launchy.open('http://stackoverflow.com') end end 

If I uncomment the Launchy line, it works fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is ... maybe the problem is with the path c:/ ?

Gemfile

 group :development, :test do gem 'spork-rails' gem 'rspec-rails' gem 'factory_girl_rails' end group :test do gem 'faker' gem 'capybara' gem 'launchy' gem 'database_cleaner' gem 'shoulda-matchers' end 

Answer 1

This is because the drive letter in the file path is not correctly defined as part of the uri scheme.

You can fix this temporarily by changing line 12 in /launchy/lib/launchy/applications/browser.rb:

return true if File.exist?( uri.path ) and uri.scheme.nil?

to

return true if File.exist?( uri.path ) && !schemes.include?( uri.scheme )

I am the author of Launchy and was just informed about this issue. I generally make bug fixes through GitHub and put this issue there. Problem number 65

At any time when you encounter a problem with Launchy, enable debugging and indicate the problem with the project in github

You can enable debugging by setting the environment variable LAUNCHY_DEBUG=true . You can do this either from the shell or using the ruby ​​code if you paste the launch into the application.

Or if you insert starty:

I just needed to do:

 fileUri = 'file:///' + outputFile.path Launchy.open(fileUri) 

notice the three slashes after "file:". This is with github-markdown-0.5.5 on Windows 8.
