Re: [chromium-hterm] Google Chrome not launching Mac terminal for handling SSH protocol Inbox x Arnob Dey

[Kegan Thorrez]

Try

chrome://settings > Privacy and security > Site Settings > Additional permissions > Handlers

(Or just chrome://settings/handlers )

and delete any relevant handlers you see there.

Maybe also look at

chrome://settings > Search engine > Manage search engines

and delete any relevant search engine you see there (in the Search engines added by extensions section).

Also you can open up Secure Shell App > Options > URI Handlers

And check out what that page has.

Hi,

I had installed Secure Shell App in Google Chrome. Before that clicking on SSH links(ssh://<user>@<IP>) would auto-launch the terminal. After installing Secure Shell App the SSH links were being opened by the Secure Shell app in a new tab. 

Due to some reasons I needed to go back to auto-launching the terminal for all SSH links. So I removed Secure Shell from Chrome.

After this when I clicked on SSH links it would redirect to something like below:

chrome-extension://pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo/html/nassh.html#user@host:22

Tried removing Chrome from Applications. Cleared out the ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/. Then did a clean reinstall but still no luck.

Would really appreciate any help to resolve this. 

Thanks in advance!

Arnob

Hmm, this thread seems to be a duplicate of https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-hterm/8IJ5Kj-rPXM

Hi Kegan,

The issue is what worked before now doesn't. When I used to click on a SSH link (<a href="ssh://user@<IP>">SSH</a>) it would auto launch my Mac terminal with the corresponding SSH session but now it's behaving like a dead link -- it doesn't launch anything at all -- even when I copy paste the link to another tab.

Actually there's no handler set under chrome://settings/handlers for anything. (And I have no idea if there was something before I installed and removed Secure Shell)

Search Engines: (Not sure if any of these search engines are installed by any third party extension/app -- don't think so)

All I need to know if there's a way to register the terminal as the default ssh-protocol-handler under chrome://settings/handlers.

Thanks,

Arnob

Okay, I just set iTerm2 as default SSH App and now those SSH links are launching in iTerm2 irrespective of handlers set in Chrome.

I wish I could do that for standard terminal as well which I believe was set before by default.

[Kegan Thorrez]

Ok, yeah I was able to reproduce the problem. This is apparently due to a MacOS setting, not a Chrome setting. MacOS has a setting regarding scheme handlers, but has no easy way to modify that setting.

I was able to change the setting to use Terminal.app using

https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps

as described in

Awesome Thanks! Although I did find the thread https://superuser.com/a/548122 earlier but since I was in a rush so didn't notice about SwiftDefaultApps instead I hovered over RCDefault and moved. But thanks for bringing it to my attention. 

And yes although we can compile the swift project from https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps using Xcode but an easy alternative is to install a precompiled version using homebrew brew cask install swiftdefaultappsprefpane 

After installing navigate to /Users/<username>/Library/PreferencePanes/SwiftDefaultApps.prefPane using Finder. Double click on the file to launch. If it doesn’t launch then go to System Preferences in Mac OS--> Security and Privacy to allow it.

Another way to install it is to download the released version from github: https://github.com/Lord-Kamina/SwiftDefaultApps/releases ( SwiftDefaultApps-v2.0.1.zip )

[Arnob Dey]

Awesome, thanks!
