I don’t know how to write such a test, but I’d be happy to assist! Feel free to reach me directly though matrix if you’re willing to help me write it =)
(Same nickname there as here - on the nixos.org server).
Breaking in what sense? Please remember that nix develop throws you in a non-interactive shell, it uses ${bash}/bin/bash, which does not load completions and also doesn’t do a lot of stuff in general that humans like to have. This bash is basically a bash that is meant run scripts, not to be used by humans. If you want to enter a dev-env that retains your shell and the comfort, then use direnv with the nix-direnv extension.
I would suggest continuing this thread in the github issue if you don’t mind, so that we can let it get back on-topic here =)
There, I’ve updated the thread with information which answers your suggestions^^
I think this could be quite helpful for me, but going by the chat timestamps in the spatial.chat room, there appears to be very little overlap with the Asia Pacific region so far.
Late evening for you might be early in the morning for someone else. This might open up opportunity for someone who wouldn’t be able to make it with the usual times.
thank you @tomberek for the additional time you stayed around to discuss things with me!
Hugely helpful. if nothing else its great to have this direct voice time with experienced nix developers. this is a hugely beneficial thing in itself. i asked a lot of questions about debugging, releases, community and easing new user adoption. voice/video is 100x more beneficial than just text in nixos channels.
I learned about nix repl’s autocompletion, the debugging paths to take during errors in system configurations, nix adoption, many other things.
I’ll be around for tomorrow if anyone is interested in collaborating or hanging out. I haven’t been working on anything in particular but im a huge fan of more direct nix-globe related hangouts
Edit: maybe not because i got busy with other things today
