    copied!<p>I am trying to write some c# code to start a browser using <code>Process.Start(app,args);</code> where apps is the path to the browser e.g. <code>/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome</code> and the args are <code>--no-default-browser-check</code></p> <p>If i do, which works on Windows and on Linux</p> <pre><code>Process.Start("/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome","--no-first-run"); </code></pre> <p>I get</p> <pre><code>open: unrecognized option `--no-first-run' Usage: open [-e] [-t] [-f] [-W] [-n] [-g] [-h] [-b &lt;bundle identifier&gt;] [-a &lt;application&gt;] [filenames] Help: Open opens files from a shell. By default, opens each file using the default application for that file. If the file is in the form of a URL, the file will be opened as a URL. Options: -a Opens with the specified application. -b Opens with the specified application bundle identifier. -e Opens with TextEdit. -t Opens with default text editor. -f Reads input from standard input and opens with TextEdit. -W, --wait-apps Blocks until the used applications are closed (even if they were already running). -n, --new Open a new instance of the application even if one is already running. -g, --background Does not bring the application to the foreground. -h, --header Searches header file locations for headers matching the given filenames, and opens them. </code></pre> <p>I have also tried <a href="http://www.monobjc.net/" rel="noreferrer">Monobjc</a> to try run the code with </p> <pre><code>// spin up the objective-c runtime ObjectiveCRuntime.LoadFramework("Cocoa"); ObjectiveCRuntime.Initialize(); NSAutoreleasePool pool = new NSAutoreleasePool(); // Create our process NSTask task = new NSTask(); NSPipe standardOut = new NSPipe(); task.StandardOutput = standardOut; task.LaunchPath = @"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"; // add some arguments NSString argumentString = new NSString("--no-first-run"); NSArray arguments = NSArray.ArrayWithObject(argumentString); task.Arguments = arguments; // We should have liftoff task.Launch(); // Parse the output and display it to the console NSData output = standardOut.FileHandleForReading.ReadDataToEndOfFile; NSString outString = new NSString(output,NSStringEncoding.NSUTF8StringEncoding); Console.WriteLine(outString); // Dipose our objects, gotta love reference counting pool.Release(); </code></pre> <p>But when I run my code using NUnit it causes NUnit to blow up.</p> <p>I suspect that this is a bug but can't prove it. I appreciate any and all help!</p>
