Overview

Package launcher for launching browser utils.

Example (Custom_launch) 
package main

import (
	"os/exec"

	"github.com/go-rod/rod"
	"github.com/go-rod/rod/lib/launcher"
	"github.com/go-rod/rod/lib/utils"
	"github.com/ysmood/leakless"
)

func main() {
	// get the browser executable path
	path := launcher.NewBrowser().MustGet()

	// use the FormatArgs to construct args, this line is optional, you can construct the args manually
	args := launcher.New().FormatArgs()

	var cmd *exec.Cmd
	if true { // decide whether to use leakless or not
		cmd = leakless.New().Command(path, args...)
	} else {
		cmd = exec.Command(path, args...)
	}

	parser := launcher.NewURLParser()
	cmd.Stderr = parser
	utils.E(cmd.Start())
	u := launcher.MustResolveURL(<-parser.URL)

	rod.New().ControlURL(u).MustConnect()
}

	// BeforeLaunch hook is called right before the launching with the Launcher instance that will be used
	// to launch the browser.
	// Such as use it to filter malicious values of Launcher.UserDataDir, Launcher.Bin, or Launcher.WorkingDir.
	BeforeLaunch func(*Launcher, http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)
}

Manager is used to launch browsers via http server on another machine. The reason why we have Manager is after we launcher a browser, we can't dynamically change its CLI arguments, such as "--headless". The Manager allows us to decide what CLI arguments to pass to the browser when launch it remotely. The work flow looks like: 

|      Machine X       |                             Machine Y                                    |
| NewManaged("a.com") -|-> http.ListenAndServe("a.com", launcher.NewManager()) --> launch browser |

1. X send a http request to Y, Y respond default Launcher settings based the OS of Y.
2. X start a websocket connect to Y with the Launcher settings
3. Y launches a browser with the Launcher settings X
4. Y transparently proxy the websocket connect between X and the launched browser
