Chrome offered although not present
Default browser for HTML/JS projects is Chrome with NB integration and it is not recognized if it's missing. I think there is no harm in leaving it in list of run configurations (so user will know he can run it also in Chrome...). But perhaps following would be nice: - Chrome is missing and Chromium present => change default configuration to Chromium - both Chrome and Chromium are missing => change config to Embedded browser These actions would be done (or offered?) on new project creation. The downside would be that if user does not have Chrome/Chromium, he might never know about option to run project in these browsers (since run configuration would be changed on project creation)...

When that browser is not installed, why should it be offered?
At least on Linux/Ubuntu it is common that "chrome" is not installed, but "chromium" (if any of those at all).
See issue #223957. Feel free to provide your comments there please. Thanks. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 223957 *** |
