Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

The ng serve command does not open the browser by default. You need to add the argument -open to it, like ng serve -open.

Cheers,

[peterheard01]

Ok great, but the documentation doesn't say this...

Should I update it?

[Meligy]

Oh. That document is very outdated!

It doesn't even have the serve command!

Might be a good idea to remove it, redirect to readme or something.

An outdated doc file is a separate issue from what this issue is though.

[peterheard01]

Do I have to make a new issue or can I rename this one then?

What does //CC @filipesilva mean?

[Meligy]

It's like a "mention" in twitter/facebook :)

Since he hasn't replied anyway, I expect it'll be a bit until there's talks about it. Maybe close this issue and create another one, linking to this issue for context.

Thanks a lot man!

"start": "ng serve -open" or "start": "ng serve -opn" opens the browser before the compilation is done and moreover, it opens an empty browser window. Does anyone have a precise solution?
