gphotosdl is returning a 'err="browser not found"' error

[gohanko]

Command: ./gphotosdl -login
Full Error Message: ERROR Configuration failed err="browser not found"

---

I'm running this on a Fedora 42 system.

Anyone has an idea of why this happens? I looked a bit into this, and it seems like gphotosdl is using go-rod under the hood, but I'm not quite sure if solutions for that would work for this.

same here on WSL2 windows 11

This is the code that tries to find the browser

gphotosdl/main.go

Lines 111 to 116 in f086ec1

	// Find the browser
	var ok bool
	browserPath, ok = launcher.LookPath()
	if !ok {
	return errors.New("browser not found")
	}

go-rod can also download a suitable version of chromium and use that which might be a good choice. I think I may have disabled that code by accident though.

You can also try installing chromium by hand - that should work.

You can use the -rod option to pass options direct to go-rod
