I want to open PgAdmin 4 in Chrome. I have right clicked the icon in the Windows System Tray and selected Configure... In the Browser Command input, I have added the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --app=%URL%
The program keeps loading but won't come up. What should I do?
There is a strange behavior with the new version 4.28 that is addressed in the FAQ:
When I launch pgAdmin 4 v4.28 or later on Windows, the loading page never closes. Why?
pgAdmin 4 v4.28 includes additional security features, one of which is intended to prevent security issues caused by Content Sniffing.
Unfortunately some Windows systems are mis-configured such that this causes Javascripts used by pgAdmin to fail to load. Opening the developer tools on your browser will show an error similar to this:
Refused to execute script from 'http://127.0.0.1:57313/static/vendor/require/require.min.js?ver=42800' because its MIME type ('text/plain') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
(index):39 Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined at (index):39
This will occur when the value of the registry key at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.js\Content Type is set to text/plain. To resolve the issue, use the Registry Editor and reset the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.js\Content Type to:
text/javascript
Finally, restart the pgAdmin server.
Correct name of the key is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.js\Content Type.
Restarting the PostgreSQL server after this modification accomplished by me via Services.
In addition I had to stop the pgAdmin process in task manager before I was able to successfully load a new pgAdmin tab in the browser.
