system_open command cannot open certain types of files properly

I think it may be related to input and output, so I tried to disable output redirection and it worked properly, but I don't know why.

That's... just how xdg-open works. nvim-tree will simply call system_open.cmd with the absolute file path as the argument.

Run xdg-open something.js directly from a terminal to see what is going on.

Long ago I overrode xdg-open and have never looked back:

: ; cat /usr/local/bin/xdg-open
#!/bin/sh

# Suppress any spurious output from noisy apps like chrome.
# Invoke /usr/bin/xdg-open directly for more interactive operations.
