Since flutter 1.9 : how to run flutter app in a browser ? Flutter run -d chrome not working

Asked 12/9, 2019 at 9:2 Answered 9/1 at 6:17

Since flutter 1.9 flutter_web is merged inside flutter. I'm trying to run the initial flutter app in a chrome browser but it fails. OS is ubuntu 19.04

The command I used with success: flutter upgrade

flutter create test_1_9

cd test_1_9

flutter run

The command not working:

flutter run -d chrome

=> No devices found with name or id matching 'chrome'

I tried with google-chrome as device name with same result

I have followed this steps and it's working! flutter.dev/docs/get-started/web – Cessation 12/9, 2019 at 9:38

You're right @SharadPaghadal, documentation has bee updated since this morning. I didn't know about the following command : flutter config --enable-web – Radiate 12/9, 2019 at 9:48

Have you enabled web support by flutter config --enable-web ?

Got Reference from this link

Cessation answered 12/9, 2019 at 9:52 Comment(4)

Even after running flutter config --enable-web still m getting error as No devices found with name or id matching 'chrome'. – Expendable 13/4, 2020 at 6:18

which channel you are on? Please update the flutter once flutter upgrade – Cessation 13/4, 2020 at 19:51

@DhavalKansara Make sure you are on stable channel – Cessation 13/4, 2020 at 19:52

It was not working on the stable channel. After I took check out for the master branch I'll found chrome in flutter devices. – Expendable 14/4, 2020 at 11:34

For these people whose chrome still cannot be detected even after flutter config --enable-web.You should check if your flutter in appropriate branch ,to list all branches, use:

flutter channel

output may looks like this:

Flutter channels:  
   beta  
   dev  
   master  
*  stable

item with asterisk prefix indicates which branch you are in.To switch to master, try:

flutter channel master

after that, your flutter doctor can list chromedevice.

fantastic, i was searching solution for 2 hours before reaching this out. 100% works! – Weswesa 2/12, 2019 at 9:40

https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/web

$ flutter channel master
$ flutter upgrade
$ flutter config --enable-web

$ flutter devices  //downloads sky_engine and sdk tools then shows a list of devices including chrome

$ flutter create test_app
$ flutter run -d chrome  //local host will run chrome


>>>>>>>Extras

if you need run in optimized mode and disable security than

flutter run -d chrome --web-renderer html --web-browser-flag  "--disable-web-security" 

to compile your code for chrome deployment use

flutter build web --release --web-renderer=html

in visual studio code for windows 10, select the main.dart file it will give you a run icon on the top right side, letting you run with debug. – Drove 14/5, 2021 at 15:49

These steps worked for me only that instead of flutter run -d chrome, I used flutter run -d linux for the obvious reason --Linux. – Assured 23/8, 2022 at 12:49

flutter run -d chrome did the magic – Ticktack 8/9, 2022 at 17:34

flutter run -d chrome --release --dart-define=FLUTTER_WEB_USE_SKIA=true --dart-define=FLUTTER_WEB_COMPRESSED=true (this commands runs the code like you will see when released to production) – Drove 15/1 at 23:29

flutter run -d chrome --web-renderer html

Thanks, bro. This works in ubuntu 21.10. – Pomade 24/11, 2021 at 3:11

In my case - flutter doctor gave me the following output

[✗] Chrome - develop for the web (Cannot find Chrome executable at google-chrome)
    ! Cannot find Chrome. Try setting CHROME_EXECUTABLE to a Chrome executable.

as on arch, the binary is called google-chrome-stable and/or google-chrome-unstable

export CHROME_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable

was all that was needed to get it working.

Marcy answered 5/9, 2020 at 22:45 Comment(2)

To add to this, all available environment variables are declared here : github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/packages/flutter_tools/…. Right now, they are CHROME_EXECUTABLE and EDGE_ENVIRONMENT. – Butadiene 17/11, 2020 at 19:52

This is really helpful! Thanks! – Maus 17/6, 2021 at 12:46

You need to run a server for web and will then be available at a port presumably 8080. If everything is set up correctly you can just:

webdev serve

otherwise try:

   flutter packages pub global run webdev serve

Sewing answered 12/9, 2019 at 9:15 Comment(1)

that was prior to 1.9 release, it's now deprecated – Radiate 12/9, 2019 at 9:44

Also make sure to upgrade flutter form the master instead of the stable branch

Granddaddy answered 13/9, 2019 at 12:26 Comment(0)

For Ubuntu, ensure you are on the master channel by running

flutter channel master

Then run

flutter upgrade

Allow HTML web rendering be running

flutter run -d chrome --web-renderer html

Dappled answered 6/3, 2022 at 14:56 Comment(0)

Adding chrome to user variables worked for me, I moved chrome to another drive and it was not being identified by flutter.

System properties > Environmental Variables > on user, create new then add:

Variable name :CHROME_EXECUTABLE

Variable Value :D:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe (location of your chrome.exe file)

If you are trying to develop web Application with dart then my suggestion is to create new Dart Project -> Angular Dart -> After successfully created angular dart -> then open terminal -> type "Webdev serve"

you need cd to your flutter install workspace, and run:

git checkout master
