Opening Preview in Chrome or Firefox from application in WSL2?

[ajmas]

Does anyone know how to have an application running in WSL2 have the email preview open up in Chrome or Firefox of the host system?

It is for an application using this package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/email-templates

Note, this works fine on macOS, but not when running in WSL2.

Hi there, WSL2 most likely is running a VM, and that doesn't have access to host machine. Also, this isn't the place to ask your question. Your question should belong in the https://github.com/forwardemail/test-preview-emails-cross-browsers-ios-simulator-nodejs-javascript repository since that is with regards to preview-email package.

@ajmas See sindresorhus/open#174 (comment). You'd need to have your email-templates instance, e.g. const email = new EmailTemplates({ ... }) have an option in the { ... } part of:

{
  previewEmail: {
    open: {
      urlTransform: (path: string) => `file://\\\\wsl.localhost/${process.env.WSL_DISTRO_NAME}${path}`
    }
  }
}
