Postman app is opening instead of google chrome - postman

I've installed Postman app in chrome apps. Now, whenever i click on chrome icon, postman opens default instead of chrome. This is very tedious and I've to click on chrome app launcher to open chrome every time. Is there any fix for this?

I don't know if you're on Ubuntu but this worked for me:
edit ~/.local/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Postman
Icon=google-chrome
Exec=/opt/google/chrome/chrome --profile-directory=Default --app-id={gobbledigook}
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Google-chrome
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
X-UnityGenerated=true
remove --app-id={gobbledigook} from the Exec line, save, and then try again

Wamp server error. could not execute run action

I am trying to start wamp serve which was totally running fine on my laptop two weeks ago, but now after two weeks I suddenly get this error:
could not execute menu item(internal error)[exception] could not execute run action: the directory name is invalid
When I click on wamp, then I go to apache, then I select service then test port 80 and this is what I see:
when I write localhost, it goes there but when I click on Localhost and phpMyAdmin, i get this error:
please tel me how I can fix this . thanks
WAMP is trying to open your browser, but the directory in the settings is not correct. It could be that your browser is now located somewhere else. To fix this:
Edit the file wampmanager.conf inside your wamp direcotry.
Replace the full file path under the [main] section for the navigator parameter
Save the file
Right-click on the wamp icon and select refresh
Try it now
Good luck!
The paths are incorrect in multiple ini files and the wampmanager conf file. Here are the ones I changed since my installed moved from g drive to e drive. I had to change all instances of g:/ to e:/ as well as my chrome.exe location
wampmanager.conf:
in the [main] section update the path of chrome.exe or ensure it is correct.
wampmanager.ini:
change all instances of g:/ to e:/ (or whatever your install drive letter is)
php.ini (under /wamp/bin/php/php5.5.12/)
again, change all instances of g:/ to e:/ (change to your install letter)
Wampmanager started correctly once these changes were made.
I had a similar problem, and to get my WAMP server working again on my laptop I ran the executables for Apache and MySql independant of the WAMP system tray icon.
In Windows Explorer, I ran (elevated):
{wamp folder in my case C:\wamp}bin\apache\apache2.2.22\bin\ApacheManager.exe
This put the apache manager system tray icon in.
then I used the apache system tray icon to start apache server
Then I ran (elevated):
{C:\wamp}bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\bin\mysqld.exe
This allowed me to use localhost\phpmyadmin, which to me demonstrates the php, mysql and apache are all working.
My web app was also back and running.
The age of my MySql version and apache version show how long this had been stable for.
I initially thought the problem may have been caused by a google chrome upgrade which included the notifications icon in the system tray, as the chrome upgrade was the only thing I recall changing. I unistalled chrome but this did not fix it - although this does not rule out Chrom Notifications being what broke it!
This appears to be an oversight on the WAMPSERVER developers. For some reason it does not translate the file path syntax from Linux to Windows, resulting in the following error message:
Aestan Tray Menu: Could not execute menu item (internal error)
[Exception] Could not execute run action: The directory name is invalid
To fix this, edit wampmanager.conf and replace the forward slashes in the file path with backslashes.
EXAMPLE:
Incorrect
editor ="C:/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/sublime_text.exe"
Correct
editor ="C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe"
Save the file, then right click the tray icon and select "Refresh". You should now be able to edit your files with your selected editor without issue :)
i have met this problem and fixed by editing 4 files
- wampmanager.conf in root
- wampmanager.ini in root
- php.ini in (wamp64/bin/php/php5.5.12)
- httpd.conf in (wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.18\conf)

How to install a browser's extension with c++?

I need a way to install a firefox and chrome extension with my C++ application.
How to do that and how to avoid to install it via browser ( firefox and chrome ) ?
Chrome:
http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/external_extensions.html
Firefox:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extension_Packaging
Note that you dont have to close the browser in order to install an extension.
The extension will be found the next time the browser is launched.

Cannot debug javascript on webstorm

I'm trying to get debugging to work on ff/chrome. I've checked all the post that come up when you google.
What I've done:
- setup a ff profile
- setup a in place deployment and double checked the remote urls..
- all plugins are enabled (including Javascript debugger)
As it seems the webstorm debugging extension was not installed in firefox (or chrome). I cannot find anything on how to get it installed. (I've allready tried re-installing Webstorm)
When I debug a file, firefox opens, but displays no page and the url-bar is empty..
I'm using Webstorm 4.0 and Firefox 11
Although this post might be outdated:
You need to install the JetBrains IDE extension in the corresponding browser.
When this is done, check if the same host and port are specified for Webstorm as well as for the extension as well.

Selenium RC: Running browser on another X11 desktop

I'd like not to be disturbed by the browser that is launched by Selenium RC. Is there any way how to force it to run the browser on another X11 desktop? Running Selenuim server on another desktop does not solve the problem.

Yes, on Linux you can start for example Xvfb (X in a virtual framebuffer) to provide an X environment and launch the selenium controlled browser in that.
We are doing that for years on headless server boxes and that work just fine (well from time to time you have to shoot a hanging browser, but that is the same on a desktop).
First install Xvfb:
sudo apt-get install xvfb
Then start selenium server in background via xvfb:
xvfb-run java -jar ~/Downloads/selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar
Finally run your tests as usual (phpunit, or whatever you are using).
You should be able to do this by setting the DISPLAY environment variable to a different display than the one your desktop is using. This must be set when starting up the Selenium server. Selenium will then use this value when starting up the browsers.
I solved this using workspaces/viewports not X using devilspie.
This addon lets you put a custom title on firefox, I installed it on my selenium profile:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/57/
I replaced Mozilla Firefox in the titlebar with FFSELENIUM
Then use devilspie to pin those windows to firefox:
http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/07/25/how-to-set-default-workspace-size-and-window-effects-in-gnome/ http://foosel.org/linux/devilspie
Then create a file .devilspie/selenium.ds with the contents:
(if
(and
(contains (window_name) "FFSELENIUM")
)
(begin
(set_viewport 3)
)
)
Woot firefox windows in the third viewport!
