Snippet expands but browser doesn't open the page

[GatorMapi]

Hi. I used to be able to have a snippet open Brave browser settings

brave://settings

 

Now when I type in a snippet a get a popup that says "There is no application set to open the URL brave://settings."

 

The snippet used to work before I switched Safari. Brave is once again my default browser in System Preferences. To remedy this I tried to clear the app cache and rebuilt the macOS metadata in Alfred however I'm still getting the same error. 

 

Any advice what I can do to fix this? Thanks?

To force that URL to always open in Brave, use a Run Script with default settings and code:

 

open -a 'Brave Browser' 'brave://settings'

I'm not familiar with coding. I've tried out different variants in the run script but they aren't taking me to Brave browser settings. This is what the workflow looks like. Am I doing something wrong or is there something else I should be doing? Thanks.

Oh and as a side note I noticed when I type "@bb1" into Alfred I get a search result for "Display text in Large Type." I've searched my workflows and I don't have anything like that installed. Any idea why that is populating below the brave:settings search result?

Here’s a correctly configured Workflow.

I was looking for a snippet or a keyword as the input function because I've several snippets I use within Brave. I've tested all three and only the keyboard shortcut seems to be recognized as an error. Snippet or keyword functions aren't populating in the debugger.

Open a terminal and run open -a 'Brave Browser' 'brave://settings'. Does it work?

I get a message: `The file /Users/pro/brave:/settings does not exist.`

Something is borked in your setup. Either on macOS or Brave, something isn’t working as it should. You’ll have to figure out what it is. Think back to what you’ve done/installed/uninstalled at the time it stopped working.
