Open in new browser window, not in existing one #264

yes

await open('https://google.com', { app: { name: open.apps.chrome, arguments: ['--new-window'] } })

yes

await open('https://google.com', { app: { name: open.apps.chrome, arguments: ['--new-window'] } })

sorry but this doesnt work. If a have an open chrome window, using this it will just add a new tab. what i want is to open a NEW WINDOW, not add a tab to an existing one.

You need to pass newInstance. For example:

await open('https://google.com', { newInstance: true, app: { name: open.apps.chrome, arguments: ['--new-window'] } })

You need to pass newInstance. For example:

await open('https://google.com', { newInstance: true, app: { name: open.apps.chrome, arguments: ['--new-window'] } })

This does not work, I'm using MacOS. Actually none of the argument passed works. I thought this was fixed. #234

Same here. Trying this on MacOs results in new tab opened in whatever chrome window that is currently open. If all chrome instances are closed then it would open a new chrome window correctly but would continue adding tabs in this mode, regardless of what I specify next.

Has there been any updates on this?

I know this thread is over 2 years old now, but for anyone who may still be struggling with this. I am on macOS and have managed to get the url to open in a new browser window as follows: open('https://www.google.com', { newInstance: true, app: { name: "google chrome", arguments: ["--new-window"] }, }); Just a small change to what somebody posted above, instead of open.apps.chrome, should be "google chrome".

I have tried @yishairose version and it works. Thanks
