Your hunch is exactly right. macOS upgrades typically do precisely that and it's quite annoying. I work at Determinate Systems as a full-time macOS user and it's one of those things I kind of quietly tolerated and didn't give

Unfortunately, you will need to uninstall Nix[1] and then re-install it using that script. But given how we've built the installer that should be pretty seamless. 1. https://github.com/determinateSystems/nix-instal

Point of clarification: we are fully open to upstreaming the installer in whole or in part and have been from the get-go.[^1] But the installer is a pretty radical departure from the current official installer. The official installer is wri

mvn2nix is a flake, though. How would I run a project that uses Niv and isn't a flake?

nix run github:DeterminateSystems/flake-checker What's the Niv equivalent of this?
107.
by biggestlou 3y ago
Niv is fine and good but there's a lot that it will never provide, like the ability to `nix run` packages or `nix flake show` what your project provides with only a URL in hand.

You may find something like node2nix helpful ( https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix ). This converts your package.json into a Nix expression that can then be cached. You're right that it does require some setup a

Yes! The Action isn't directly aware of what Nix itself is doing or which commands are being run; it's only aware of the Nix store. So whether you're using flakes or channels it works the same.

When Nix "realises" a derivation, it realises the entire dependency tree (here, "realises" means either building or fetching, depending on whether a dependency is already in the Nix store). For every single derivation (d

Could you possibly clarify what you mean by "skip those first steps?" Which steps are you referring to?

I know that Python builders do exist out there. Personally, I've found Nushell much more concise than Python et al and quite adequate for the task at hand. But who knows, maybe I should do a whole series :)

Apologies for my "well, actually" pedantry but Nickel is a type-safe alternative to Nix for creating expressions and, as far as I know, not a builder. _But_, that being said, there's indeed a lot of fun areas to explore here
