Xdg open error

Running "open:server" (open) task
Warning: Command failed: /bin/sh -c sudo -u sojharo /media/sojharo/Data/blood-donations/node_modules/open/vendor/xdg-open "http://localhost:9000"
sudo: /media/sojharo/Data/blood-donations/node_modules/open/vendor/xdg-open: command not found

What is your Ubuntu version?
I dont have exact the same issue, but I encounter some errors in Ubuntu 15.04, while in Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS everything works just fine and smooth.

How about run the following command in your terminal

to confirm if your xdg-open is installed in your ubuntu system
mine shows

if not installed, you can try

sudo apt-get install xdg-utils --fix-missing

Please let me know if this solves your problem. Have a nice day!

Thank you for nice response

My Ubuntu version is 14.04.3 LTS. I just installed it 10 days back.

I ran the command which xdg-open and it exactly showed me /usr/bin/xdg-open

I ran the command ‘sudo apt-get install xdg-utils —fix-missing’

It showed

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
xdg-utils is already the newest version.
xdg-utils set to manually installed.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  linux-headers-3.19.0-25 linux-headers-3.19.0-25-generic
  linux-image-3.19.0-25-generic linux-image-extra-3.19.0-25-generic
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

The problem is still not resolved for me. However, I start the server using this command now : grunt serve --force. It doesn’t crash but shows the problem. However, after this I am successfully able to go to the localhost:9000 in my browser

Until you figure this out, I’d suggest removing the 'open' task from grunt serve instead of using --force

Nice to know you can access your app now!

However it is strange that the error occurs even your xdg-open is installed.
my next guess is:
Are you using sudo to run

or did you use command like

in the generation process at any point?

When I use

I get permission denied error.

When I use

I get the error xdg-open command not found for which I have opened this issue.

I remember npm install also gave me some permission issues, therefore I had to use command:

Should I clone my project again and then try with npm install?

Yes, I highly recommend you to do it again without sudo
The things you need to sudo install are the packages supposed to be used globally (everywhere in your machine):
like npm itself, grunt-cli, bower, yo, generator-angular-fullstack etc. using

sudo npm install -g packagename

Please try again with a clean generation use

mkdir yourapp
cd yourapp
yo angular-fullstack

Good luck

I created a new and clean application using yo angular-fullstack. I did not use sudo anywhere. Still, I got the same Permission denied error.

And when I used sudo grunt serve, I got command not found error.

Thanks @Awk34 for suggestion to remove the ‘open’.

Could you please show us your permission error messages?
and can you confirm by:

sudo npm list -g --depth=0

to find out what has been installed globally, and show us the result please?
Without knowing the details of your machine and your setup process, I’m guessing that you might be installing your grunt or something globally which might cause the error.
If it is the case, the following commands might solve your problem:

sudo npm uninstall -g grunt
cd yourapp
npm install grunt

(Highly recommended) Also remove all the packages that are not supposed to be install globally by running

sudo npm uninstall -g packagename

and install them locally withou sudo

On sudo npm list -g --depth=0 I got:

/usr/local/n/versions/node/5.2.0/lib
└── npm@3.3.12

On sudo npm list -g --depth=1, I got:

This is the permission error I get when I run without sudo:

Running "open:server" (open) task
Warning: Command failed: /bin/sh -c /media/sojharo/Data/blood-donations/node_modules/open/vendor/xdg-open "http://localhost:9000"
/bin/sh: 1: /media/sojharo/Data/blood-donations/node_modules/open/vendor/xdg-open: Permission denied
 Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

I notice you are using n to manage your node version.
Things might be, you have install some global package to version A, when you switch to version B, you have to install global package again for that version, because they don’t share global package folder among different versions.

On sudo npm list -g --depth=0
only npm is shown, means that you did not install others for this node version (in this case node version 5.2.0)
try

sudo npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower generator-angular-fullstack

Also I suggest you use node 4.2.4(don’t forget to check installed global packaged again, if you switch node version to 4.2.4, if needed do the above again for 4.2.4)

While running this command I also noticed warning which said,

wanted: {"node":"^4.2.3","npm":"^2.14.7"} (current: {"node":"5.2.0","npm":"3.3.12"})

I think I am now beginning to understand the problem. I would test with reinstalling the packages again. If failed, I would remove current nodejs and then would go for 4.2.4.

Thanks. I would let know here about results.

Still getting permission denied error. I think I should move towards nodejs 4.2.4. I would do this tomorrow and would let you know here. Thanks for your help

I installed 4.2.4 but still no luck.

The short term hack if 'open' doesn’t work is to just delete that task in your Grunt/Gulp config. All it does is open your browser to your project (localhost:9000). It’s not necessary.

Hey, it worked for me. I Was facing a similar issue with xdg-open command. It’s solved. Thank you! :’)
