Description

Currently, as per the vite types, server.open can only accept boolean | string
→

Further more, the Vite docs say:

server.open
See the open package for more details.

When checking the Open docs, for best cross-platform support, they suggest to set the browser like so:

const open = require('open');

await open('https://google.com', {
	app: {
		name: open.apps.chrome
	}
});

Ref: https://github.com/sindresorhus/open#openapps

However, trying to use open.apps.chrome in Vite like so, gives a type error:

server: { open: open.apps.chrome }

Suggested solution

We need to be able to set Chrome but make sure it works for both Windows and MacOS.

My suggestion is to allow readonly string[] which is returned by open.apps.chrome so that we can use this option in the Vite config.
