Specifying pdf opener does not work on macOS

[patricorgi]

Description

My default pdf viewer is set to Preview.app which is a native app on macOS, and I have no intention to change this...On the other hand, I want to use zathura when watching a typst project.

I have tried the following

typst watch main.typ --open zathura # -> no pdf viewer opened
typst watch main.typ --open $(which zathura) # -> no pdf viewer opened
typst watch main.typ --open # -> default OS pdf viewer opened (Preview.app in this case)

They all print out the following message in terminal, and no error is shown.

watching main.typ
writing to main.pdf

[21:09:21] compiled successfully in 3.30s

However, I can open this main.pdf file fine in zathura with

zathura main.pdf

Reproduction URL

1. Install zathura on macOS using homebrew

brew tap zegervdv/zathura
brew install zathura

2. Create a main.typ file with the following content

#lorem(69)

3. Try typst watch with default opener (Preview.app in this case)

typst watch main.typ --open

This will compile and open the compiled main.pdf file in the default pdf viewer.

4. Try typst watch by specifying zathura

typst watch main.typ --open $(which zathura)

Nothing will happen after a successful compilation.

5. Try opening main.pdf directly with zathura

zathura main.pdf

This will open main.pdf in zathura without any problem.

Operating system

macOS 14.2.1 (23C71)
