What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. download dartEditor

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
there is no dartium anywhere in file system - how do you actually run it?

In Dartium, enter chrome://version and paste the results here.
n/a

Put OS and machine details here.
(If you're using Linux or Mac OS, you can get this from uname -a.)
Linux jaiyen 3.2.0-56-generic #­86-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 23 09:20:45 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.

getting something by
  $ cd .../chromium
  $ ./chrome

which seems to work, but really have no idea what I should be doing.

ps: for many of us, eclipse/java is way too much overhead/baggage - you might with to rethink coercing that on programmers as the default.

The Dartium browser is the chromium/chrome executable. Some documentation should point this out.


Removed Type-Defect, Area-Dartium labels.
Added Type-Documentation, Area-SDK labels.

We do point it out, but I suppose we could always be clearer. Or perhaps we should just call the executable Dartium or stop calling it Dartium.

Bangkokmaco, did you look at any docs for dartium to try to figure out the problem?

yes, I did look in the docs, even googling for dartium. the sdk cleanly
gives its executables in .../dart-sdk/bin, so was sort of expecting it
there, since it's been added to $PATH.

I think having dartium as its own executable is a good idea - it lets me
easily run the default chromium or dartium.

I think something like
   dart-sdk/bin/dartium => $DART_SDK/../chromium/chrome 2> /dev/null &
is the proper solution

note that running chrome from the command line

  • does not launch in background
  • stderror output is very messy

Luke, I can clarify the docs, but it seems like we could make this clearer by renaming the executable to dartium. What do you think?

I agree we should do this rename.

It's also confusing for anyone with other Chromiums on their machine. Everywhere else we refer to this tool affectionately as Dartium which makes sense.

We also see quite a bit of confusion amongst user populations about the difference between Dartium and Chrome, which being ambiguous about its name can only make worse.

My only concern is that this is a breaking change for anyone with infrastructure scripts. Can we consider doing something like renaming and adding a symlink, on the understanding that we'll take it out further down the line?
