HTML5 on netbeans 7.3 can not integrate with chrome Netbeans Connector

Question

I just created an empty HTML5 project and could not run it through the new Chrome netbeans Connector feature. I have added the netbeans connector extension to my chrome browser, but I keep getting this warning "Could not access Url through external browser. Check browser configuration." I have the latest netbeans version 7.3 and jdk 7u17. Chrome browser Version 25.0.1364.172 m.

Anyone with some suggestions?

Answer 1

I got the same error using OpenSUSE 12.3 x86_64.

My solution was this: go to Netbeans Menu > Tools > Options . In the General tab press Edit and then edit the command for Chrome browser to:

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

Hope it works for you.

Answer 2

I'm having the same issues with Netbeans 7.3.1 and Chromium 29.0; editing the "Chrome" browser executable in the "Tools>Options>General" section to point to the "chromium" exec location didn't seem to make a difference at first.

Open the project properties , you can further edit the application with which the file will open/execute. The default browser is "Chrome with NetBeans integration". So far, changing that " Browser " field in the project properties to point to the edited Chrome exec runs the file in the Chromium browser. However, I'm not sure how well--if at all--it integrates with NetBeans itself.

Answer 3

Try running it in the embedded browser. Does it work?

In this case it's probably best to file a bug report at http://netbeans.org/community/issues.html . Where/when does the warning appear? If you file a bug, please attach the IDE log and a screenshot of the error. Thanks.
