Running/debugging project in Rider will not open browser window


When I run/debug a project in Rider, I have somehow turned off the property that opens the browser window after the project has built successfully. I have checked Run > Edit Configurations and compared it against an API project I have that does open the browser when ran/debugged, and cannot see a difference. I did some searching online and didn't find a definitive answer, so I'm reaching out here.

If anyone knows the specific property/setting/whatever to toggle in order to get the browser to open when running/debugging the project, I would be most appreciative.


Solution

  • While examining the Run/Debug configs between the project that wasn't doing the expected behavior and the API project that was, I noticed that in the non-working project's Run/Debug config, the URL property wasn't set. After setting that to the localhost value I had been using, the page would start up as expected.
