Do the tests still work without Firefox needing to be there? I see geckodriver is still in there. Maybe I put in both without needing to do Firefox at all?

The tests don't work without firefox. I have firefox installed outside of nix (and open at the time of testing) which seems to be the only option for darwin systems short of emulating a linux system |

I found an overlay for firefox on darwin, but I'm not sure how comprehensive you'd like this fix to be or whether you want to trust that outside overlay |

Gah, while this builds with nix's geckodriver, it won't run in the tests. It's only running for me with local env geckodriver and firefox. I adjusted the PR to reflect this reality. |

I've typically seen things done like this before, would it work here?
buildInputs = [
pkgs.bitcoind
clightning-dev
pkgs.openssl
pkgs.zlib
pkgs.postgresql
pkgs.gcc
pkgs.pkg-config
pkgs.poetry
pythonEnv
pkgs.gcc.cc.lib
] ++ pkgs.lib.optionals pkgs.stdenv.isDarwin [
pkgs.libiconv
];
};

pkgs.firefox's metadata list darwin in badPlatforms. See: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/d89f18a17e51532ed5f4d45297b0ddf11e46b9c8/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/packages.nix#L21 This applies to firefox-119 and may change

Without this change, using the flake produces the following. I don't think the readme should say darwin has first-class nix support, but this is a nice change to have.
