* Bug: wsl org-open-at-point [9.1.14 (9.1.14-9-g131531-elpa @ /home/boss5/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20181112/)]

On WSL, using emacs 25.1, in org-mode there is a bug/design issue.
It the issue is:
When opening a link in org-mode using C-c C-o, org-open-at-point doesn't
work. It does find the browser, if you have set
(setq browse-url-firefox-program "/mnt/c/PROGRA~1/MOZILL~1/firefox.exe")
and does run the process, but it doesn't bring up a browser. You can
see the process in list-processes and if you run that command in the
console it works, but in org-mode the console never show and the
process remains.
The function browse-url-default-browse finds and runs the correct
browser. However, it runs the browser using the wrong command
depending on the case. If you are on WSL, without the graphical
interface, you need to run the shell-command to use the windows
browser. This is how it is done when it detects cygwin using
system-type. However, System-type cannot be used to detect WSL because
it doesn't find that you are on windows. The uname command detects it.
Obviously this isn't straight forward as in different situations you
want to do different things, graphical vs non-graphical. Perhaps
modify the function which sets system-type to return wsl then detect
graphical environment and use the non shell-command approach?
I humbly bring this to your attention. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I had to solve this problem too.
I used these functions:
(defun w32-shell-execute (operation document &optional parameters
show-flag)
(if (and operation (not (string= "open" operation)))
(error "Don't know how to %s %s" operation document)
(call-process "/mnt/c/Windows/System32/cmd.exe" nil nil t "/c"
"start" "\"\""
(concat ""
(replace-regexp-in-string "^/mnt/c/" "c:/"
(replace-regexp-in-string "^\\(/mnt/c\\)?/home/Fabrice/" "c:/home/"
document))
""))))
(defun wsl-open-url (url &rest args)
(w32-shell-execute "open" url))
(setq browse-url-browser-function #'wsl-open-url)
(setq browse-url-mailto-function #'wsl-open-url)
Regards,
Fabrice

Sent the message too quickly.
Obviously, you will have to adapt the paths in w32-shell-execute with your
own setup and the location of files you want to open.
WSL allows different options to mount your NTFS drive or to create links
between directories.

Fabrice

Hi Steve,
thanks for reporting this issue. Can you or Fabrice suggests what
change should be done in Org, if any? Also, perhaps another solution
can be found by adapting `org-file-apps'?
Thanks,

I am not sure that it is an issue that should be solved by org-mode.
It is more a problem of setting up WSL such that it meets well
some expectations. Basically, you need an equivalent of xdg-open
which redirects requests to the w32 system.
The suggestion I made to solve the issue is working for me, but as you see,
it is a crude hack: the paths need to be adapted to each individual
setting.
If someone comes up with a cleaner, more general solution, solution,
it should be published somewhere as an example of how to setup things with
WSL.

Thanks for taking the time to answer -- I'll leave this "bug" out of
my radar for now then.
