AppleScript to open new Chrome window with passed url

[deadlyhifi]

I want to open a new Chrome window and set the active tab to the URL that I pass.

 

I'm nearly there, but not quite. The passed URL doesn't get put into the tab, I end up at Google.

on alfred_script(q)
	tell application "Google Chrome"
	    make new window
	    set URL of active tab of window 1 to q
	end tell
end alfred_script

Any tips?

Are you prefixing your url with http://? If you don’t, it’ll not work, but if you do, your code should work fine as it is. If you don’t want to type it every time (understandably), what you can do is tell your script to prepend that to your query.
