Help
1

Hello, I try to build a simple package with nix-buildand fetchFromGitHub and add the package outside of the Nixpkgs tree.

First I define $HOME/nixos/nixpkgs/video-downloadhelper/default.nix

❯ bat default.nix

with import <nixpkgs> {}; 

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  name = "video-downloadhelper";

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "aclap-dev";
    repo = "video-downloadhelper";
    rev = "0i2rdb3z78860x5sln3jfyz91x3wm74wylbh6s5fm5i95lb1y4bd";
    sha256 = "1bc1654l5ilxinxd6mp5yqk8ddwwgg32l7qf9az1q1wl5rq07msp";
  };

  nativeBuildInputs = [ nodejs python3 ];

  buildInputs = [ youtube-dl ];

  installPhase = ''
    mkdir -p $out/bin
    cp video-downloadhelper.py $out/bin/video-downloadhelper
    patchShebangs $out/bin/video-downloadhelper
  '';

}

How to eliminate this error:

I think your rev is incorrect. Generally git hashes are 40 characters long, yours is 52 characters long. fcd3258aa51cc1112ba3ac9076f98200955b356b is the latest for that repo

thanks for your fast replay.
… and you `re right, the rev number was wrong.

beyond of this, I locate my misfortune, it was Error-Code 40,

         .................40 cm in front of my  local  screen

bye
