Simple question, what is the path to the chrome executable to set the above ?


Chrome - develop for the web (Cannot find Chrome executable at google-chrome)
    ! Cannot find Chrome. Try setting CHROME_EXECUTABLE to a Chrome executable.

Thanks

Does setting it to /usr/bin/garcon-url-handler work?

What is CHROME_EXECUTABLE used for? garcon-url-handler lets you pass URLs for Chrome to open, but if Flutter needs more (launch with specific CLI arguments, etc) then try installing a copy of Chrome inside Crostini: Go to https://www.google.com/chrome/?platform=linux , download Chrome for Linux, select the deb, download and install, point CHROME_EXECUTABLE at where it's installed.

Cheers,
Dave.

I'm having the same issue, setting CHROME_EXECUTABLE to  /usr/bin/garcon-url-handler did not work for me.

Thank you David, installing the Linux version inside Crostini worked for me as well. Although I don't recall having to do this when Flutter for Web was still in beta.
