From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

VS Code Flatpak calling Brave Flatpak (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by Undone@lemmy.fmhy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm developing an app with Flutter in VS Code installed with Flatpak. I'm trying to debug the app with Brave, which is also installed with Flatpak. As the apps are sandboxed due to Flatpak they don't see each other.

Is there a way to make VS Code able to launch Brave in debug mode?

Have you tried that?

I tried adding the location for the Brave Flatpak in VS Code Flatpak with Flatseal.

Using Flatseal to set Braves Flatpak location in VS Code filesystem

It now shows the device but I get an error when launching the app for debug from VS Code.

I'm not sure what I need to modify to make VS Code launch Brave as a device in debug mode.

How about allow system library?

[–] Undone@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No dice, it still doesn't work. I tried with all toggles active in Filesystem section but none seem to make it work.

Seems you need to alias brave with flatpak run. Because it tried to run brave, and because it's not in path it won't able to run.

flatpak run com.brave.Browser in a shell script with chmod +x to /usr/local/bin/brave

Content could be the run with $@

I'm not sure it will work, but worth to try.

You can use flatpak-spawn —host to run any command outside of the container but it’s a bit ugly.
