Where is detectwsl() defined?

[kdheepak]

I'm not able to find detechwsl() anywhere.

Is this function defined in another package?

It looks like it was a PR made to Julia in JuliaLang/julia#36425 but I'm not able to access the function:

I'm also not able to see the function any more in the base/sysinfo.jl file:

It looks like this PR is not merged yet. Wouldn't this throw an error if it hit that condition?

Ping @Roger-luo who wrote this bit. Indeed that bit || detectwsl() should be dropped.

It's in a try block though so no error is shown, just no browser started I guess.

Sometimes I wish that Julia would throw compiler errors on missing function definitions.

Anyway, maybe this code was written under the assumption that the function was defined in the same package like Pluto does:

Thanks a lot for that @rikhuijzer ; let's copy that function over here then!
