Unable to use things installed via Nix in Zed tasks.json

Running devenv up from the project directory works fine from the terminal, so it’s something specific with the Zed setup.

Here’s the error I get:

error:
       … while updating the lock file of flake 'git+file:///home/eric/Projects?ref=refs/heads/main&rev=1f8421d7944060b49e905f5d88626790bb506a73'

       … while updating the flake input 'nixpkgs'

       … while fetching the input 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-23.11'

       error:

Sorry, I don’t know what Zed is, but what I would investigate is where that nixpkgs-23.11 is coming from. I don’t see it in your flake.
