Open Browser after the server has started

[Lunchb0ne]

When serving, for testing have an option to automatically open the browser. This would be a very nice to have feature.

I can start working on this ASAP

This has been discussed before.

It is possible to do this without a dependency, I saw that maintaining tests and other things in the build chain was your main gripe.

Can you post a link to the issue so I can have a look at what "my gripe was"?

will this launch a new instance of the default browser or will it open a new tab?

[Lunchb0ne]

It'll open a new tab if the browser is already opened.

why not create a wrapper for it like

hugo server &
open http://localhost:1313

For MacOS
with whatever configuration you like?
