Workbench: Invalid path to Chrome

[nick-youngblut]

I'm running shinytest2 v0.2.0 on Posit Workbench installed on a Ubuntu server. When running shinytest2::record_test(), I get the error:

Caused by error in `initialize()`:
! Invalid path to Chrome

I get that chrome is not installed on Ubuntu by default, but there doesn't seem to be any info the shinytest2::record_test() function docs or the shinytest2 docs on how to setup shinytest2 for Workbench.

This is not a {shinytest2} bug. The underlying bug is in {chromote}. Transferred issue.

Hi @nick-youngblut
Were you able to find some workaround to run shinytest2 on Posit Workbench until the issue has been solved?

[nick-youngblut]

@shahreyar-abeer No, I was not. I just don't use shinytest2
