Javascript debug configuration crashes chrome launch ("parameter is incorrect")

Hello,

What PhpStorm and Chrome versions do you run?

How do other browsers behave (like Internet Explorer)?

Please attach a screenshot of File | Settings | Tools | Web Browsers.

Chrome: 67.0.3396.79

PhpStrom: 2018.1.4 (181.5087.24)

I have not tested other browsers (IE has been replaced with Edge on my Windows 10 computer).

Just tried on 2018.1.5, no difference

Do I get right that chrome.exe path is wrong?
If so, please click the Path column for Chrome in Web Browsers and provide it with a proper path.

Eugene's suggestion of manually setting the path worked. I had to set from default to Chrome and set the chrome path manually for the debugger to not throw this error. Are there any suggestions as to how to get the default configuration to work? I'd rather not have to manually set this for every file I'm launching the debugger on

Maybe it has to do something with current Chrome installation - can't reproduce that at both of my Windows 10 systems.

Did you try reinstalling Chrome?

I did, but I will try again and investigate further.

On 2018.1.6, I've had the issue happen even after setting the path to chrome manually. I deleted everything under .PhpStorm2018.1 and reinstalled it to have the manual path setting work again. I will try reinstalling chrome again to see if it will work without manually setting the path. I don't know if my windows version could affect this but here it is

what is the result of running `start chrome` in Windows cmd console?

running start chrome on powershell (on my laptop and my desktop) launches Chrome

should I open a ticket on youtrack?

This is likely a system configuration issue, not a problem in IDE. When a path to Chrome is specified as `chrome` in Settings | Tools | Web Browsers, PhpStorm runs start chrome Windows command to start the browser. Looks as if this command points to the wrong Chrome executable on your system

You can replace `chrome` with a full path to Chrome executable as a workaround

ok. thanks for the support. I will try finding out why my IDE is pointing to the wrong executable then. :)
