http://dev.clojure.org/jira This file is an XML representation of an issue en-us 4.4 649 25-07-2011 http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-896 Clojure <p>clojure.java.browse/browse-url tests to see if it's running on Mac OS to fall back to "/usr/bin/open" in order<br/> to open a URI. On most other systems it'll just falls through to open-url-in-swing instead. The attached patch<br/> tests to see if freedesktop.org's "xdg-open" is present in the users path. This way browse-url will launch the<br/> program associated with the URI, in my case chromium.</p> All platforms that provide xdg-open (as part of freedesktop.org) benefit from this. Fix was tested on OpenBSD. CLJ-896

Make browse-url aware of xdg-open

Enhancement Minor Closed Completed Unassigned Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse Tue, 13 Dec 2011 17:29:14 -0600 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:55:10 -0500 Fri, 24 May 2013 07:55:10 -0500 Release 1.6 3 1 <p><a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-920" title="Adds support for FreeDesktop&#39;s xdg-open in clojure.java.browse/browse-url."><del>CLJ-920</del></a>, if not identical, at least bears a significant resemblance to this ticket. It would be good to see if the patch for one of them fixes both issues.</p> <p>clj-896-browse-url-uses-xdg-open-patch2.txt is based more on the patch attached to <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-920" title="Adds support for FreeDesktop&#39;s xdg-open in clojure.java.browse/browse-url."><del>CLJ-920</del></a> by Jeremy Heiler than on the earlier patch attached to this ticket. He and I have signed CAs.</p> <p>I think this patch improves on both of the previous patches for <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-896" title="Make browse-url aware of xdg-open"><del>CLJ-896</del></a> and <a href="http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-920" title="Adds support for FreeDesktop&#39;s xdg-open in clojure.java.browse/browse-url."><del>CLJ-920</del></a>. In particular, Jeremy's worked fine, but it caused a long slowdown in the running of tests when building Clojure. This one does not.</p> <p>Tested on:</p> <p>Mac OS X 10.6.8<br/> Windows XP SP3, both in cmd.exe and a Cygwin bash shell<br/> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS</p> <p>It would be great if someone could test it on a BSD system. The only possible issue I can think of is whether the output of the "which" command is different there than on the Linux system I tested.</p> <p>If someone wants to make a patch that doesn't use "which", but instead checks the PATH, I'd recommend they also test on Windows in cmd.exe to make sure it works correctly there.</p> <p>Screened. Verified on Mac OS X.</p> <p>And I've tested it on OpenBSD.</p> Approval Ok Global Rank Patch Code Waiting On richhickey
