Yeah, i also feel that we do not make nix* documentation particularly discoverable or accessible, unfortunately :(

(i know for nodejs stuff it's a bandwidth problem because i've mostly been having to maintain stuff alone and haven't had sufficient motivation to write more docs than i have)

Are there any mid-sized, open-source projects using nixpkg's buildNpmPackage? Maybe linking to them as examples might be useful

Does buildNpm have troubles with sourcehut git sources?
I'm trying to build https://gitdab.com/cadence/out-of-your-element but I'm getting:

If I give it git through nativeBuildInputs it'll fail to reach out of its sandbox while running git --no-replace-objects ls-remote https://git.sr.ht/~cadence/nodejs-discord-markdown which seems super weird

Is there a reason mkYarnPackage doesn't cache or am I doing something wrong? All dependecies are cached but the package itself isn't so it rebuilds every time

In reply to @lily:lily.flowers
Cache like upload to cachix or something?

No sorry not cached. I'm not sure I understand this, but I when the flake is changed, I guess the yarn package has to be recalculated or evaluated which takes some time (about 15 seconds). This is different from the other packages in the flake which are evaluated almost immediately if they haven't been changed. I experienced this as a cache miss but I realize now that it is not about that. Here's the flake:

Hmmmm if i remember i'll try to investigate later of it's just our fetcher not doing something right or if npm is the one who is choking on it

I made an impure derivation, and now it's failing with:

fwiw running nix develop on the derivation, and then manually running the npmConfigHook and such does succesfully build it

In reply to @lily:lily.flowers
That's expected since dev shell lets npm call out to the internet when it's not supposed to need to (npm gets very very happy about silently deciding something is wrong and deleting and redownloading from the internet....)
