omarchy-update hangs on omarchy-theme-set-browser - Chromium never exits #4772

System details

Intel i7-1365U, Intel Iris Xe, Omarchy 3.4.0, Chromium 145.0.7632.116

What's wrong?

My update got stuck today and I had to manually kill a Chromium process to get through it. This also happened to me in a previous update.

The problem I think is in bin/omarchy-theme-set-browser line 17:

chromium --refresh-platform-policy --no-startup-window >/dev/null

This runs Chromium without backgrounding it or using a timeout, so the script waits for it to exit. But when there's no existing Chromium instance running (which is the case during the update, since it switches from omarchy-chromium to mainline chromium right before calling this), Chromium starts a new process that sits there forever instead of exiting.

Maybe skipping the command when Chromium isn't running would fix it since it picks up the policy on next launch anyway?
