"Open in Browser" from Dev Container

[raphaelcamus]

Hello,
I am running robotcode within a DevContainer. It works (though tests are slow to start), but from "Simple Browser" showing the report/log, when I click on "Open in Browser", it opens my local browser in host, but to http://localhost:3102
On Dev container, log is in http://localhost:3101 and it also works locally on windows host.

Can I set it to open port 3101 which works instead of 3102 ?

This is a weird behavior in VSCode, not from RobotCode, it detects that a new port is opened in the devcontainer and asks you if you want to open this port as HTTP in your browser, but it tries to open a browser with no path. And that is not allowed in RobotCode. I cannot disable this behavior, so you should ignore it and not click the Open In Browser button. Use the button in the Simple Browser if you want to open it in a different Browser window.
The port number of RobotCode's internal webserver can change depending if the port that it should use is free. Depending on the system it can happen that when you change a setting or so, that shutting down the server and free the used port takes longer then starting a new server. That's why a new port is used. Reload you vscode instance fixes the problem then.

You can change the range that RobotCode tries to open a free port with the following setting in you settings.json

    "robotcode.documentationServer.endPort": 3199,
    "robotcode.documentationServer.startPort": 3100
