How do I set ionic serve to use Chrome as the defa

Question

I want to run ionic serve with Google Chrome.

I've tried:

ionic serve --browser chrome
ionic serve --browser google-chrome

But that doesn't work. I can get it to use firefox if I type:

ionic serve --browser firefox

How do I set the default browser for ionic serve to Chrome?

Answer 1

On Mac, option -f chrome is not working, on ionic version 2.1.8

Use ionic serve --browser "google chrome"

It will set the default browser to Chrome.

Answer 2

ionic serve -w chrome this works for me and successfully launch my app on chrome

Answer 3

Try ionic serve -f chrome. This will set default ionic browser to Chrome and subsequent ionic serve commands will run in Chrome.

Answer 4

And this works on my Mac:

ionic serve --browser "google chrome"

Answer 5

As of working in Ionic v3.9.2, you can open this using

$ionic lab --browser chrome 

command to open the app in Google Chrome by default.

Answer 6

Try ionic serve -w chrome, this will serve ionic2 in Chrome (ionic2 RC4+)
