Should "wasm - build and run" launch the game in a browser window like WebGL builds?

    Not seeing the WASM builds running Unity just opens the build location, are additional tools needed?

    Note that build and run works for WebGL, why can't Tiny do this?

    Yeah, we dropped it in favor of other core features.
    but build and run web targets is planned to be implemented in future releases.

    Timeline and any workarounds as it seems that Unity has the tools already to run a web server instance of a local file?

    not to mention that this is the basic and first thing a web developer will want to test!

    “http-server” npm package
    what do i do with it?
    don't even have documentation for that!

    "in future"...

    Another solution if you don't need to do continuously export and test is to use GitHub Pages. You can upload the build to a GitHub repo (set to GitHub Pages from master) and play it online.

    I did this for my Ludum Dare WASM game. I played in the editor for the most part and only played it online after completing a new module to see if something stopped working.
