URLDispatcher + Epichrome not working

[j2348]

Hi @zzamboni ,

URLDispatcher + Epichrome does not work for me. I am trying to use it in basically the same way as at https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-hammerspoon/blob/master/init.org#url-dispatching-to-site-specific-browsers. When I open a url that matches the url_pattern, the epichrome app is activated, but the url does not open. Does URLDispatcher + Epichrome work for you?

I saw in https://freenode.logbot.info/hammerspoon/20200311 that it was not working for anyone 6 months ago. Is that still the case or has the issue from https://freenode.logbot.info/hammerspoon/20200311 been fixed?

@j2348 are you using an Epichrome Chrome-based app? I noticed some time ago that Chrome-based apps were still having that problem, but Brave-based apps work fine. Since I switched all my Epichrome SSBs to the Brave engine, I have not seen it again. I reported this in dmarmor/epichrome#208 (comment)

Hi @zzamboni ,

I was using Epichrome 2.3.9 (now I'm using Epichrome 2.3.10) and it was Brave-based.

I got it working by commenting out this line. I'm not sure why hs.application.launchOrFocusByBundleID(id) would cause this issue, but it works once it's removed.
