Feature Request: add --no-browser option to Rasa X local

[Deprecated] Rasa X Community Edition
1

I didn’t find a better place to post a feature request, so here goes my problem:

When I start Rasa X in local mode, I get the following error:

This is interspersed with two additional lengthy error screens of the browser trying to load the page and failing.

To address this I propose a --no-browser option (like in jupyter notebook or lab) to not try to open the page in a browser , but only start the server in local mode.

Rasa X starts in the end and works fine.

Hi @kaiogu, For Rasa X feature request, you can use the feedback option available in the rasa x instance.

Thanks, will do!

Edit: I gave feedback over the feedback button, but that is more like a satisfaction feedback. The text box for “how would you improve rasa” (or something like it) is small and allows no formatting (not even newlines).

It would be very cumbersome to file a bug report or feature request over that channel.

Got your point. @Emma can you help on this?
