sootsim open

Resolve a port, dev-server URL, bundle URL, or full shell URL, then load it into the current session by default. Fresh browser sessions open in a separate Chromium-family window.

sootsim open <port|target|bundle-url|sootsim-url> [--new]

Options

Examples

sootsim open 8081
sootsim open --new 8085
sootsim open http://localhost:8082

Resolution Rules

open accepts four inputs:

• a raw dev-server port like 8081
• a dev-server base URL like http://localhost:8081
• a full bundle URL
• a full sootsim shell URL

For raw targets, open now hands the input to the shell instead of guessing a fallback bundle URL. Numeric targets open as /rn/<port>, while non-port inputs fall back to /rn?open=... so ConnectRN can resolve them inside the shell.

Desktop Preference

When the desktop companion is installed, open prefers it first. If the companion does not connect back to the bridge in time, the command falls back to the bridge-owned browser path and finally a plain browser open.

That policy gives you one command that works whether you live in the browser, in Electron, or in a mixed workflow.
