Regression of: "Route to profile without creating new instance?"

Open huyz opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Exactly the same as https://github.com/johnste/finicky/issues/189 which has been closed.

Describe the bug When using profiles, Finicky now opens a new Chrome (applies to Brave too) instance rather than reusing the running instance. This used to work fine for a while but started breaking a few months ago.

Your configuration

    {
      match: /./,
      browser: {
        name: "Google Chrome",
        profile: "Profile 3",
      },
    },

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on http://google.com/ outside the browser.
  2. Notice a second instance of the Chrome browser in the dock
  3. See error: image

Now, change the configuration so that there's no mention of a profile, and the problem disappears.

I've tested a few other URL handlers on macOS and this seems to be a new issue for all of them with Chrome profiles. I'm not sure what the root cause is. I do see this error in Console:

can not access /Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/RunningChromeVersion, error: No such file or directory
