 avocadoom | Anybody got some experience with getting either Cypress or Playwright to work under Nix? Since they both heavily rely on their binaries it is quite a pain to set up and I honestly would prefer an approach where I don't have to always match the npm and binary dependency which may be bundled in nix. Is there maybe a way to launch those binaries in an FHS env for example? | 00:00:12 |

| Tumble | Ah here it is | 13:23:55 |
| Tumble | This should hopefully be a channel i want
Im looking into using flake to develop with nodejs | 13:25:00 |
 Cobalt | What are you looking in particular? Packaging, development shell(s) or something else? | 13:26:31 |

 Lily Foster | In reply to @tumble1999:matrix.org
Changing my workflow to involve flakes? what are you wanting flakes to get you? using flakes just for using flakes won't automatically give you much | 13:30:11 |
| Tumble | packages are only installed when nececery
like if i used rust one day, cargo and rust up will be in my system
when i stop developing in rust for a but it will eventialy stop being installed on mys system
when i develop with js, node things would be installed,
when i take a break, they will eventialy stop being installed on my system
thats how i see it
also if i go on anouther system (that doesnt have nixos but does have nix), i wont have to install stuff just use the flake and everything will set its self up | 13:41:51 |
| avocadoom | I guess you confuse flakes with shells. Shells are not coupled with flakes. You don't need to understand the concept of flakes to use shells | 13:43:37 |
| Tumble | flakes let you get specific versions of things though dont they | 13:45:56 |
| avocadoom | Sure you can pin nixpkgs, though you can also do this with standard nix derivations | 13:49:59 |
| Tumble | also using a flake with my nixos config makes channels easier to manage | 13:51:03 |
| Cobalt | Using flakes for devshells is a good approach ime. For nodejs you don't need anything special in most projects. Just use a normal devshell inside a flake and use the relevant packages, like `nodejs`, as build inputs. | 13:55:50 |
| Cobalt | There are also some more elaborate setups possible, like setting a specific nodejs version for your nixpkgs instance used in the devshells. | 13:57:55 |
| Tumble | would it ever need to go in .packages/.app for doing stuff like nix run | 13:59:03 |
| Cobalt | `nix run` stuff is the `apps` output iirc. | 13:59:34 |
