| mmkaram | hello! I was trying to install the @prisma/language-server package from nixpkgs but it was marked as broken in March. It has since been fixed on npm, so I was thinking of trying to make a pr to add it back. The PR that removed it is here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/8af4a78d0d0486de96e0207eba72ff43382eb2dd
My question is all they changed was pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages.json and pkgs/development/node-packages/main-programs.nix. There was no actual package.nix that was changed. To revert this change, would I just have to add the lines that were removed back? | 08:33:30 |
| mmkaram | I initially posted this in #dev:nixos.org but I was told that people here could help me with the details because nodePackages is supposed to be phased out or something | 08:34:19 |
 Marie | in theory yes, in practice no.
Ideally you would package it from source in a new package in pkgs/by-name/pr/prisma-language-server | 08:37:45 |
| mmkaram | I’m sure it can’t be that difficult I’ll try my hand at it today | 08:41:31 |
| mmkaram | Does anyone remember the name of the formatter for nix files? | 08:42:00 |
| Marie | nixfmt | 08:45:32 |
| mmkaram | right, probably could've guessed that... thank you | 08:45:53 |
| mmkaram | are there any examples of programs like mine that have been packaged in /pkgs/by-name | 08:58:48 |
| Marie | anything which uses buildNpmPackage really | 09:02:07 |
| Marie | it's also documented in the nixpkgs manual | 09:02:12 |
| mmkaram | awesome! | 09:04:31 |
| mmkaram | for the name should I keep it as @prisma/language-server because the contrib manual says to keep the name the same as upstream | 09:04:49 |
| mmkaram | but also I know things with @ symbols aren't indexed on search.nixos.org | 09:05:03 |
| Marie | uh that sounds wrong, where does it say that? | 09:05:34 |
| Marie | prisma-language-server would be my suggestion | 09:05:51 |
| mmkaram | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/README.md#:~:text=It%20should%20be%20identical%20to%20the%20upstream%20package%20name. | 09:06:20 |
| Marie | oh yeah thats not a hard requirement | 09:08:39 |
| mmkaram | sweet | 09:08:58 |
| mmkaram | would anyone here happen to have encountered this error before:
> npm error code ENOTCACHED
> npm error request to https://registry.npmjs.org/universal-user-agent failed: cache mode is 'only-if-cached' but no cached response is available.
