@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchs hm, something referenced by my nix config (it's flake-based and I updated inputs) has started using a determinateNix option, and the backtrace I'm getting is extremely unhelpful, even with --show-trace. https://gist.github.com/antifuchs/37c6fd57d62e1867aeff12201377bbfb is that trace from the repl, I can't see anything useful in there, is there a different thing I could do to get more info? 16:17:48
@lillecarl:matrix.orglillecarlHow do you guys conveniently dogfood Lix development? If you replace system nix daemon and you break something badly enough and you want to revert for example. I can think of ways but I imagine someone has thought about it more than me 😄18:26:10
@hexa:lossy.networkhexathere is always single user mode18:36:33
@lillecarl:matrix.orglillecarl hexa: Yeah i guess just calling the old activationscript too. I realize never ever roll backwards 18:40:38

Possibly try a grep -rnFe ‘determinateNix’ or similar in /nix/store

Whatever nix code calling it must exist in the store somewhere.

@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsyeah, that tracks. and ooof18:47:49
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchs(grep's still running on my store, btw)19:25:16

(grep's still running on my store, btw)
grep -rnFe determinateNix /nix/store/*-source* might work better
19:38:59
@vczf:matrix.orgvczfNot at my computer right now though19:39:13

* grep -rnFe determinateNix /nix/store/-source/**.nix` might work better
19:41:04
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsyeah, I probably could do something smarter with find/xargs there19:41:30
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchs find /nix/store -type f -name \*.nix -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l determinateNix so I don't run into argv limits 19:42:20
@vczf:matrix.orgvczf Or **/*.nix as the grep arg should work 19:43:39
@k900:0upti.meK900 rg -t nix determinateNix ez 19:45:02

Not in my shell, no. But anyways I’m off to walk the dog, should be done by then
19:47:26
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchs(Also I don’t trust rg’s file selection mechanisms at all, unless I’m in a git repo. Been burned too many times by that)19:47:57
@vczf:matrix.orgvczfOh lol ripgrep is almost 10 years old and I still haven’t gotten around to trying it19:48:27
@522_:catgirl.cloud0x4fbb09 it/its ⛯✇ΘΔthe automatic exclusions?19:48:35
@toonn:matrix.orgtoonn Start today! 19:48:41
@522_:catgirl.cloud0x4fbb09 it/its ⛯✇ΘΔ yeah, rg -uuu is the way to specify "search absolutely everything" 19:49:14
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsI felt like I could trust it once, then the cli changed and I haven’t trusted it since. Maybe in 10 years I will use that again, but for now? Nah20:18:59
@antifuchs:asf.computerantifuchsIt’s great in git repos tho!20:19:44
@sofiedotcafe:matrix.orgSofie 🏳️‍⚧️ (she/her)rip grep all 😭20:24:33
