Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

LIGHTHOUSE_CHROMIUM_PATH can be identified automatically on Linux

See original GitHub issue

Having Chrome/Chromium installed on Linux typically means that there are *.desktop files corresponding to installed application. Global files are likely located as /usr/share/applications/*.desktop and local to user as ~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop.

So in most cases it is possible to scan files at those directories and try to find something with /chrome in Exec key. This wouldn’t work in case when Chromium was extracted into some directory and no desktop file was created, but otherwise it might improve convenience of using lighthouse by not requiring to specify LIGHTHOUSE_CHROMIUM_PATH explicitly (which is boring).
