the variable g:started_by_firenvim does not exist when firenvim is started?

[jdhao]

• OS Version: win x86-64
• Browser Version: Google Inc. Chrome 79.0.3945.88
• Browser Addon Version: 0.1.17
• Neovim Plugin Version: 0.1.17
• What I tried to do: It seems that the variable g:started_by_firenvim does not exist.
• What happened: when firenvim is started inside the textarea, echo g:started_by_firenvim does not exist.

Yes it does, here I will :echo g:started_by_firenvim:

Do you perhaps have some persistent nvim session it's connecting to that was started up another way?

Note that I am using a Windows machine, I checked the firenvim code and found that g:started_by_firenvim is only set when the platform is not Windows, as indicated by code here.

Is there anything that I am missing here?

[alerque]

That looks like an oversight and a relatively easy fix!

I fixed this issue and implemented a test to make sure this feature keeps working. Please update the neovim plugin run firenvim#install() again and let me know if everything works as expected.

Thank you for reporting this bug :).

Thanks, I have updated to the latest version of firenvim, and it is working great!
