Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe/issues/523

Originally assigned to: @qwertychouskie on GitHub.

Quick Checks

I have read the help post
I have searched other issues, looking for an issue similar to mine
I have made sure my application/script runs before trying to package

Describe the bug

When running in Wine, the application does not load unless --default-browser is manually passed

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior (install dependencies, do this in the auto-py-to-exe UI):

Install auto-py-to-exe in Wine
Run
See error:

Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specifie
d file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found.

Expected behavior

It should auto fall-back to the default browser without having to manually pass the --default-browser flag

Your Environment:

Wine version (wine --version): wine-10.2 (Staging)
Python version (python --version): 3.13.2
auto-py-to-exe version (pip show auto-py-to-exe): 2.46.0
PyInstaller version (pip show pyinstaller): 6.12.0
Eel version (pip show eel): 0.18.1

Apologies for the delay. What I think is happening here is that Chrome has been found on your machine, but then wine is trying to run the Linux binary.

If you execute the following, what does it return?

from eel import chrome
chrome.find_path()

I'm keen to first understand how we can tell whether the path from chrome.find_path() is usable or not. Our function __can_use_chrome in /auto_py_to_exe/ui.py can then be updated to handle this case.

@qwertychouskie if you try out the bugfix/523-dont-run-chrome-by-default-in-wine branch in this repo, does it fix your issue? I haven't got Wine setup at the moment so cannot test.
