Hello nix community,
I wanted to better understand the nix develop
command.
I also wanted to play around with the interval that is used to poll for updates.
I am suspecting the build-poll-interval
option to be relevant here, is this correct?
Unfortunately I didn’t find a resource explaining this option.
I also wanted to see what nix does if I execute
nix flake init --build-poll-interval 10000000
since the option is also listed here.
But the flake content doesn’t show anything related after being generated.
{
description = "A very basic flake";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs?ref=nixos-unstable";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.x86_64-linux.hello = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hello;
packages.x86_64-linux.default = self.packages.x86_64-linux.hello;
};
}
Do I have a misperception on what build-poll-interval
does or regarding the missing information in the flake.nix
file?
