Never call callback on Mac os

[Lilipi]

Hello,

I've got a problem on Mac OS. Here is my code :

...
.then(function() {
    var opn = require('opn');
    return opn(url);
})
.then(function() {
         MessageService.success("Document ouvert");
         return;
     });

It works fine on Windows, but on Mac OS, the callback (messageService.success ...) is never called.

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

Probably related to #92.

Hi, please any update?

Still the same. On Windows my CLI app exits after I call opn, on macOS it waits and does not exit / return.

[DanielRuf]

Looks like the -W flag never fires an exit code unless we close the opened browser / app.

Try opn(target, {wait: false}).

From the docs:

Wait for the opened app to exit before fulfilling the promise.

In hindsight, it would probably have been better to make the wait option false by default.

In hindsight, it would probably have been better to make the wait option false by default.

True, this came to my mind last night but that would be too late now as the opposite is the default now.

[DanielRuf]

The assumption in general is to have the same behavior on all platforms (which is not the case as for Windows we have to manually set some application name) and to be consistent by default (without any further configuration).

And I think this is the reason why I and others tripped over this.

And you are right, we should have read the docs and check the default values.
