wsl2 ubuntu 20.04 markdownpreview无法启动chrome

[sectum-sempra]

:mess显示结果如下
[markdown-preview.nvim]: Can not open browser by using cmd.exe command

init.vim里对应部分设置如下:
let g:mkdp_preview_options = { \ 'mkit': {},
\ 'katex': {},
\ 'uml': {},
\ 'maid': {},
\ 'disable_sync_scroll': 0,
\ 'sync_scroll_type': 'middle',
\ 'hide_yaml_meta': 1,
\ 'sequence_diagrams': {},
\ 'flowchart_diagrams': {},
\ 'content_editable': v:false,
\ 'disable_filename': 0
\ }
let g:mkdp_browser = 'chrome'
let g:mkdp_filetypes = ['markdown','rmd']
let g:mkdp_auto_start = 1
let g:mkdp_command_for_global = 1
let g:mkdp_echo_preview_url = 1
let g:mkdp_open_to_the_world = 1

另外chrome已经添加到user和system的path里, 在cmd里输入chrome可以正常打开chrome

你用 wsl 关键字搜下 issue，记得之前有人遇到过

[Qiguang]

After several hours of research, I found the reason of this issue (at least for my situation).

TL;DR

Just try launch nvim by this command: sudo env "PATH=$PATH" nvim, then check if the issue is solved.

---

As this plugin launches Chorme using cmd.exe , So test if you can launch cmd.exe from your WSL console directly. If the environment of your WSL is correct, just typecmd.exe

then, cmd window will shown.

If it cannot be launched, check your $PATH variable. Reference

You can launch cmd.exe in WSL console means you can launch it in nvim. (how to run shell command in vim)

But I tried to launch cmd.exe in nvim by command :!cmd.exe, error prompted /bin/bash: cmd.exe: command not found

After researching, I found this is because I launched nvim by command sudo nvim, but sudo changed my default $PATH variable of shell, so cmd.exe cannot be found. Reference

To avoid this, run nvim by using sudo env "PATH=$PATH" nvim which keeps the default $PATH, then all issues disappears.

@sectum-sempra 你试一下在nvim里直接启动cmd.exe能启动成功吗？不能的话，可能是PATH变量的问题。

This problem is resolved.

Just try this command

export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/

[LoliPain]

Also:
/etc/wsl.conf

[interop]
enabled = true
appendWindowsPath = true

then close WSL terminal

Run cmd.exe
wsl --shutdown

Now open WSL again and $PATH is merged with Windows
