Problem
On NixOS (and other non-FHS distros), ./setup fails at the Playwright Chromium check because the downloaded binary can't find system libraries like libglib-2.0.so.0:
error while loading shared libraries: libglib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file
gstack setup failed: Playwright Chromium could not be launched
Users on these systems typically have a system-installed Chrome/Chromium that works fine.
Proposed fix
Add a GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT=1 env var check that skips the Playwright browser install/verification. The browse tool already supports GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH to point at a system browser, so setup just needs to get out of the way.
# 2. Ensure Playwright's Chromium is available
-if ! ensure_playwright_browser; then
+# Skip with GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT=1 if using a system-installed Chrome/Chromium
+# (set GSTACK_CHROMIUM_PATH to point the browse tool at your system browser)
+if [ "${GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT:-0}" = "1" ]; then
+ log "Skipping Playwright browser check (GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT=1)"
+elif ! ensure_playwright_browser; thenUsage: GSTACK_SKIP_PLAYWRIGHT=1 ./setup
Workaround
Until this is merged, users can patch setup locally or auto-detect a system Chrome before the Playwright check.
