Hello guys!

If I try to build rio with nix build github:raphamorim/rio then I’m getting the following error message:

error: builder for '/nix/store/k7p4293v0qpid41l2gav1p07b698z0rh-rio.drv' failed with exit code 129;

       For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/k7p4293v0qpid41l2gav1p07b698z0rh-rio.drv'.

But nix log /nix/store/k7p4293v0qpid41l2gav1p07b698z0rh-rio.drv gives me the following output in the end:

Also building the project with cargo build (just clone the repo, navigate into it, enable direnv, then execute cargo build) works (even cargo run)!

May I ask what could be the reason why the build fails with nix build?

Is that all this reported? It isn’t a given that the failure is at the end.

Here’s the full output.

I think you’re running into something real in the underlying repo’s main branch. I see a very similar error in their most recent nix build job:

Maybe try targeting the same commit as the latest green build here: Nix Build · Workflow runs · raphamorim/rio · GitHub (or try targeting a specific release).
