Hello everyone,
I wanted to point out a bug/error in the system, but perhaps there’s already a workaround for it. I was just trying to use Gemini CLI via Firebase Studio, but unfortunately, an error occurs during Google authentication, preventing me from proceeding. Here’s the error:
~/web4-sbba-2 (main*) no sandbox (see /docs) gemini-2.5-pro (100% context left)
node:events:502
throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event
