how does marimo grab the BROWSER env var?

interesting update... running it in headless mode doesn't seem to work either, which i didnt expect. symptom is the shell hanging right after the command, no log output or anything....

Can you run with -d? for debugging? I have 2 theories

whoa okay, i have no idea why but after 10 minutes it actually loaded.. p sure i've waited longer before so dunno what changed but i have TONS of lines in debug mode saying "validating auth"

no idea if that's related or not

oh and at the top just found this:
WARNING: Current configuration will not reload as not all conditions are met, please refer to documentation.

(guessing that's the browser? but my browser did launch 🤔

Hmmm. Did you install from nixpkgs or pypi?

pypi, do y'all distribute on nixpkgs?

i did install uv through nixpkgs though

and sometimes if i don't have the right version of python installed, it will give me an error and i have to update my nix config to install the right one

when i do uv run marimo

(validating auth is still ticking fwiw)

Not sure if it's browser related since nothing happens with headless. marimo just uses the native webbrowser package in python (https://docs.python.org/3/library/webbrowser.html). I recently patched this for wasm and wondered if that might be the issue (it's not)

pypi, do y'all distribute on nixpkgs?

Yes, nixpkgs normally lags a few minor versions though. I want to add first class support for nix package management, but we'll see if I can make a strong case it's worth the time

when i do uv run marimo

Hmm. uv downloads binaries that aren't always happy with nix. Maybe something's up there?

Here's another issue with really slow start-ups:

If you could share the timestamps of your debug log on startup, that might go a way in figuring out what's up.

🤔 weird

I found out what it's related to, I'll post the WSL issue in a bit

posted some context in https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo/issues/4067#issuecomment-2727065781

Thanks!
