Automatically open browser?

[jlister76]

Great plug-in. I am able to run my gulp command and start the localhost and everything works. The only part of the config that I do not fully understand is how to automatically open the browser.

The documentation says "open:" accepts a boolean / string. I believe the string would be the path. However, I am not sure which path it is referencing. Any assistance with this is much appreciated.

Here is my task:
//Webserver
gulp.task('webserver', function() {
gulp.src('app/builds/development/')
.pipe(webserver({
livereload: true,
directoylisting: false,
open: true
}))
});

• open: false -> doesn't open,
• open: true -> opens in browser,
• open: String ->
  • if string begins with 'http', the opened url will be the string as-is.
  • else, open will be appended after the port.

Can I choose the browser instead of the default one?
Eg. I use the Safari as the default browser for daily web browsing, but I use Chrome mainly for development.

So I hope it can open the Chrome in my case.
