 @jade_:matrix.org | there might be some nonsense to get it to work exactly as you expect with --apply, but the json printer should be largely not broken even on 2.18 | 02:23:30 |

| FireFly | I mean nix eval has --raw which means I don't even need to abuse that | 02:23:59 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | because builtins.getFlake is busted garbabe | 02:23:59 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | * because builtins.getFlake is busted garbage | 02:24:00 |
| FireFly | can just output the raw string, which is what I want anyway (but for some reason nix-instantiate --eval can't do that :v | 02:24:16 |

| @jade_:matrix.org | loll | 02:24:27 |
| FireFly | I thought it had an option like that too, but apparently not | 02:24:45 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | if i recall correctly the only way to get the loaded flake as if it's the repl is to do something like nix eval .# --apply '(x: x.some.attr.path)' and of course you can import your script into there if necessary | 02:25:41 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | it's horrid lol | 02:25:49 |
 Qyriad | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6333 | 02:27:30 |
| Qyriad | why is this even specific to nix eval | 02:27:57 |
| FireFly | hum, I don't understand what --arg{,str} does for nix eval since it doesn't seem to actually auto-call functions (and if I need to manually write an expr with --apply to call the function, then it won't pick those up anyway? o.o) | 02:28:43 |

| @jade_:matrix.org | (you can guess what i am about to tell you)
(the nix team wontfix'd this) | 02:30:23 |
| FireFly | ...don't tell me nix eval just doesn't support asoetnuhnsaoedusnd | 02:30:31 |

| FireFly | but the options are literally documented in the nix help eval.. | 02:30:50 |

but the options are literally documented in the nix help eval.. "common evaluations" aren't actually common! because yay | 02:31:28 |

but the options are literally documented in the nix help eval.. they were just never implemented!! | 02:31:37 |
| FireFly | ;_; | 02:31:43 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | so obviously they are silently ignored! | 02:31:48 |
| @jade_:matrix.org | naturally! | 02:31:50 |
| FireFly | In reply to @puck:puck.moe
they were just never implemented!! and wontfix'd which is even more 🍿 | 02:31:55 |
