How do you discover the override attributes for a derivation?

Help

@danbst I wonder if this is the reason for home being set incorrectly? Yet when I attempt home = self.jetbrains.jdk.home I get infinite recursion.

Okay, setting the passthru.home appending /Contents/Home works. Dunno if there’s a more elegant way.

So the overlay that works for me, thanks to @danbst, is as follows:

self: super:
{
  jetbrains = super.jetbrains // {
    jdk = super.jetbrains.jdk.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
      version = "520.11";
      src = super.fetchurl {
        url = "https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jbr/download_file?file_path=jbrsdk-11_0_4-osx-x64-b520.11.tar.gz";
  	sha256 = "3fe1297133440a9056602d78d7987f9215139165bd7747b3303022a6f5e23834";
      };
      passthru = oldAttrs.passthru // {
        home = "${self.jetbrains.jdk}/Contents/Home";
      };
    });
    idea-ultimate = super.jetbrains.idea-ultimate.overrideAttrs (_: {
      name = "idea-ultimate.2019.2.4";
      src = super.fetchurl {
        url = "https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-2019.2.4-no-jbr.tar.gz";
	sha256 = "09mz4dx3zbnqw0vh4iqr8sn2s8mvgr7zvn4k7kqivsiv8f79g90a";
      };
    });
  };
}

huh, this must be some Mac specific stuff. I see that there was a change done recently to support Mac and IDEA: jetbrains.idea-community: add darwin support by uri-canva · Pull Request #64467 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub

Maybe it is not complete? If you have time, you can clone nixpkgs, update IDEA sources and try install it from nixpkgs source. If it doesn’t work, then yes, some more Mac specific ifs must be added.
