Issue

/code/coins/MetaCoin$ truffle dashboard
Truffle Dashboard running at http://localhost:24012
DashboardProvider RPC endpoint running at http://localhost:24012/rpc
Error: spawn xdg-open ENOENT
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:283:19)
at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:476:16)
at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)

Steps to Reproduce

I use the remote development of vscode. The remote server is a linux system. No browser installed. lead to errors.

Expected Behavior

Is it possible to add an option to the command truffle dashboard to decide whether to open the browser automatically?

Environment

• Operating System: local:mac os 13.4 remote: ubuntu 22.04
• Ethereum client: None
• Truffle version (truffle version): Truffle v5.9.4 (core: 5.9.4)
• node version (node --version): Node v18.16.0
• npm version (npm --version): 9.7.1

Good catch! Thanks for raising this. We're implementing this for you over in #6096.

Something else you might want to be aware of: if you're trying to use truffle dashboard via a different machine, you might want to bind the hostname to 0.0.0.0 (as opposed to 127.0.0.1), since you won't be able to access the latter from your terminal machine.

This is released now in Truffle 5.10.0!
