I tried to setup languagetool in Emacs today but wasn’t successful.
How would I do this when my config is in a .org file and only gets symlinked by Nix?
I wasn’t able to find an example with Sourcegraph or else.
GitHub - mhayashi1120/Emacs-langtool: LanguageTool for Emacs This one?
You’ll need languagetool installed at least. There is a nix package for that: NixOS Search - Loading...
You can still use your .org file the same as if you weren’t using nix. Just, if the config itself gets built into a nix package, you’d need to re-build that package each time you change the config.
(For iterating on an elisp config without having to re-build the nix package, I’d suggest loading/evaluating a config.local.el or whatever that’s not part of the Nix package; then move the good elisp into your nix package once you’re happy with it).
This package here:
Installation worked without a problem but doesn’t seem to be working.
I get the following message when I try to use it:
locate-file: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
That error doesn’t help much, it just points at https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Locating-Files.html#index-locate_002dfile being misused. I’d guess it may be that some kind of binary the package expects to be installed isn’t, but that’s just a wild guess.
Have you tried turning on the debugger (M-x toggle-debug-on-error) before that function is called? That way you’ll get a traceback so we can figure out what’s actually wrong. Where is your exact configuration?
So managed to get the log.

Sorry my question was badly written.
What I meant was how can I get e.g. the Nix store path of a package into my .org config.
I don’t mind rebuilding the system after changing the Emacs config but since it’s in an org file I can’t use things like this:
(setq languagetool-java-arguments '("-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8")
languagetool-console-command "${pkgs.languagetool}/bin/languagetool-commandline"
languagetool-server-command "${pkgs.languagetool}/bin/languagetool-server")
I decided to give the extracConfig parameter a try and specify the paths the Nix way.
I got now a new error:

I got it working with the following commit.
However it feels a bit hacky and redundant to specify all those paths like that.
