error: `--open` flag not opening the report in the browser in some cases

...

Additionally, I can open a separate ticket for this if required, the --open flag doesn't seem to be triggering no matter what options are present

@stickerboy, can you please help me debug this issue since I'm not with a Windows machine at the moment?

By cloning the repository and running npm install, you're all set to work/test.

I have two possible fixes, both will be changed on line 426, which is the command to open a link on Windows:

1. Changing "start" by 'start "" '

Or, if this doesn't work:

2. Changing "start" by 'cmd /c start "" '

_{Note the change from doublequote to singlequote.}

I'll be waiting. If you can't test, please let me know that I'll be testing this later on a Windows machine.

Hi, so I tried both options but neither seem to work for me unfortunately.
My main terminal is git-bash on Cmder. Switched over to Powershell just in case that was causing issues but I'm seeing the same result there too. I have another Windows machine running on Canary (27934), Node 21.5 / NPM 10.2.5 and that exhibits the same problem. Happy to help test out further, If I can

Thanks so much for your help testing it!

Since the "possibly quick solutions" didn't work, I'll look more into it over the week.

If there is any news on it, I'll be bringing it here.

Some updates:

I've tested with the open npm package, and even this didn't work. Tried a lot of different solutions, but nothing seems to work on modern Windows versions :/

This is disappointing, but we'll keep this issue open without a solution for now. I'll check this again in the future.

Also, if anyone could help here, this would be awesome!
