Change default browser used by VSCode/Fiori Tools ?

[nelis]

Hi,

Has anyone found a nice way to change the default browser used by VSCode with Fiori Tools ?

I am using MacOS with default browser as Safari which I'd prefer to keep it this way. For development purposes I like to use Chrome specifically and currently I'm just changing this manually after launching by copying the URL into Chrome. From VSCode documentation it suggests this is done via .vscode/.launch.json file as per the following: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/browser-debugging

Since Fiori Tools is using type "node" here in the configuration this doesn't look like it will work as suggested so it would likely need to be a change in tools somewhere. Other suggestions are to use an environment variable but I haven't had much luck in getting that working either so thought I'd try the community.

Thanks.

Regards, Nelis

Hi Nelis,

thanks for pointing that out, the preview indeed is fixed to use the default browser as of today. Your request sounds reasonable I'll take it to the backlog.

Best regards,

Christoph
