Not able to run wct on Windows 7

[Robert Stone]

I asked this over in the slack channel but didn't get any takers, so here goes:

I'm not able to run wct on Windows 7, if I type:

wct -l chrome --verbose

then it hangs after the 'hook: configure' message and in the windows task manager I can see that it is looping around trying to find opera.exe, phantom.exe and nw.exe

After a fair amount of hacking around inside the wct code I found that if I removed the opera, phantom and nw sections from the launchpad/windows.js file then wct would start successfully. It looks to me as if launchpad doesn't handle the absence of certain browsers particularly well (or even at all) on windows. I'm still not sure why it is even looking for the other browsers given that I specified chrome only.

Any thoughts ? Is anyone able to run wct successfully on windows ?

So setting the LAUNCHPAD_BROWSERS environment variable before running wct seems to fix the problem. I guess this means the browser list in wct.conf.json (or passed in via -l) is being ignored by wct ?

Hey Robert, would you mind filing an issue on the wct repo for this?
