fileManagerPrivateInternal.executeTask:Unknown error when opening suggest apps dialog

Project Member Reported by yamaguchi@chromium.org, Oct 26 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: 64.0.3251.0
Also observed in M63.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Create a file of an unknown type. (e.g. ".ddd" in its suffix)
(2) ctrl-shift-j to open developer console. Switch to [console] tab.
(3) Double-click the file.

> fileManagerPrivateInternal.executeTask: Unknown error.

It can still show the suggest apps dialog correctly.

Looks some conditions in private api are inconsistent.
However the error looks harmless as the failure triggers the suggested app dialog.
Ideally the result type should distinguish between true error and unknown file type.


It attempts to open with browser as the action is "view in browser",

However it fails due to unknown file type. It's because it doesn't match any of the filename extension, nor it is a hosted document.
