BROWSER=none not working - react-dev-utils package from npm not up-to-date with git?

Can you reproduce the problem with latest npm?

yes

Description

I wanted to use the BROWSER=none option, to prevent react-scripts from opening a new Browser. Setting the env variable did not work at all.

after checking the openBrowser.js file in node_modules/react-dev-utils/ I realized, that it is different from the openBrowser.js in the github repo:

var execSync = require(‘child_process’).execSync; var opn = require(‘opn’);

function openBrowser(url) { if (process.platform === ‘darwin’) { try { // Try our best to reuse existing tab // on OS X Google Chrome with AppleScript execSync(‘ps cax | grep “Google Chrome”’); execSync( 'osascript openChrome.applescript ’ + url, {cwd: __dirname, stdio: ‘ignore’} ); return true; } catch (err) { // Ignore errors. } } // Fallback to opn // (It will always open new tab) try { opn(url).catch(() => {}); // Prevent unhandledRejection error. return true; } catch (err) { return false; } }

This file does not contain the check for BROWSER=none, but in https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/blob/master/packages/react-dev-utils/openBrowser.js it exists.

Expected behavior

using the env variable like BROWSER=none should prevent react-scripts from opening the browser

Actual behavior

When using BROWSER=none, the Browser still opens

Environment

Run these commands in the project folder and fill in their results:

1. npm ls react-scripts (if you haven’t ejected): wine-page@0.1.0 /home/beac0n/dev/wine-page └── react-scripts@0.8.5

2. node -v: v7.5.0

3. npm -v: 4.1.2

4. Operating system: Arch Linux

I could reproduce the issue when creating a new project with create-react-app 1.0.3. I also ran npm cache clean, yarn cache clean - both commands with sudo and without.

I also downloaded the bundle manually from the npm registry: https://registry.npmjs.org/react-dev-utils/-/react-dev-utils-0.4.2.tgz

The openBrowser.js file still isn’t the same as in the github repository.

0.9.0 is out now with support for this.

Thank you for the explanations. I found and started to use the 0.6.0-beta release, so I can use the content reloading now.
