Opens Chrome stable if Chrome Canary is running

[kornelski]

Description

npm start opens wrong browser. I have both Chrome and Chrome Canary on my system, but I only use Canary (which is set as my default browser system-wide).

Expected behavior

npm start should open my default browser.

Actual behavior

Ignores my default browser setting, and opens Chrome (stable).

Reproducible Demo

1. Start Google Chrome Canary.app
2. run npm start

Cause of the bug

node_modules/react-dev-utils/openBrowser.js:

execSync('ps cax | grep "Google Chrome"');

grep incorrectly matches "Google Chrome Canary". Probably the same error would happen with Beta.

execSync('ps cax | grep "Google Chrome$"');

seems to fix the problem (tested on OS X 10.11). Alternatively, pgrep -x "Google Chrome" may give more precise result.

@n3tr Could this be a regression after #1165? Can you check before and after?

created PR #1215

@pornel Can you help me verify by change "Google Chrome" to "Chrome" in node_modules/react-dev-utils/openChrome.applescript line 17 and 61, does it work as expected?

[kornelski]

Yes, changing "Google Chrome" to "Chrome" in the applescript makes Canary reload the page as expected.

Should be fixed in react-scripts@0.8.4. Please verify.
