Opening localhost:port URLs is broken

[ajakk]

I'm opening this issue because:

• I'll report a bug
• I'll propose a new feature

Failure Information (for bugs)

Opening localhost:1234 via the vim-vixen command line results in a red error line that says URL constructor: . is not a valid URL.. For me, it breaks out of the prompt when the colon is typed and displays the error line.

Steps to Reproduce

Try to run the command :tabopen localhost:1234.

System configuration

• Operating system:
  Gentoo Linux
• Firefox version:
  87.0
• Vim-Vixen version:
  1.0.1

Console logs

Any relevant log in developer tools:

This is spit into the console at the breakage:

    updateCompletions Console.tsx:214

Hi @ajakk,

this looks like it is related to #106: opening what looks like illegal URLs will fail. Here, localhost:1234 looks just like about:config and others, resulting in an error.

A simple workaround exists for your case however: if you include the protocol in the URL, it will work. Moreover, after doing :tabopen http://localhost:1234, the address will appear in the smart completion list so you'll never have to type the http part again.

Hope this helps.

Looks like the same issue! Seems I didn't search the previous issues well enough, sorry! We can close this issue as a duplicate in favor of that one. Thank you!
