Get wslu from https://github.com/wslutilities/wslu for your WSL2 setup and include export BROWSER=wslview in your bashrc/zshrc. The wslview tool opens links in your Windows default browser.

Unfortunately, this yields the same result

What happens when you enter wslview https://google.com in WSL?

Answer 4 · 2023-11-08T00:02:37.000Z

It works, i.e. google.com is opened with my default browser

My bad, I've forgot to set env variable. The behaviour has changed: I do not see the error anymore, but nothing happens

Answer 6 · 2023-11-08T00:24:09.000Z

The above steps worked for me on Arch Linux. I can reproduce your issue on a new install of Ubuntu 22.04.2 on WSL 2, where wslview works, but hitting enter on an issue causes no error and no action.

I believe the issue is related to the snap running in WSL2, since it works correctly when running the binary directly.

I cleared the BROWSER and JIRA_BROWSER variables which means xdg-open is used first as default (sudo apt install xdg-utils if it is missing)
Confirm that xdg-open https://google.com opens the URL in the default windows browser
Download the relevant .tar.gz from releases, and run the binary ./jira
On hitting Enter on an issue, the URL opens in the Windows browser

I would try removing the snap and using an alternative installation method, since there seems to be an issue with the Snap on WSL2.

I can confirm this is working. Thank you very much for the assistance
