How to set environment variable of Google Chrome for Flutter 2 Web on Arch Linux

Using flutter doctor I understand that flutter cant find google-chrome executable. I'm using fish shell. I set the environment variable in /. config/fish using the set CHROME_EXECUTABLE /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable command how doctor says, but it didn't help.

Solution

  • On Arch Linux, the executive file of the proprietary version of google chrome has the name google-chrome-stable, but flutter tries to find exactly google-chrome. Therefore, setting the environment variable for /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable has no effect.

    Therefore, to solve the problem, you need to create a link to google-chrome-stable with the name google-chrome using the command sudo ln -s /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable /usr/local/bin/google-chrome
