Opt out of opening browser

[jakst]

I'd like a way to opt out of opening the application in the browser automatically.

I'm currently experimenting with running snowpack for the frontend of an electron application, and every time I start the app snowpack pops open a browser tab. The application of course crashes in all sorts of ways without the electron environment.

Any chance of adding an ENV var, flag, or option in the config file to disable this behaviour?

Looks like devOptions.open="none" does this. https://www.snowpack.dev/reference/configuration#devoptions.open-%7C-string-%7C-default%3A-%22default%22

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Then I'd instead like to request that the types for that option would use a union type so I could use autocomplete to figure out the possible values 🙂

thanks @winkler1! Yea, we should revisit making this default behavior in v3
