 cleverca22 | hmmmm, but now CI fails:
error: unexpected flake input attribute 'submodules', at /nix/store/9v6yq23xyzhciq4d6w2w4qy66mv4bfaw-source/flake.nix:8:5 | 14:40:12 |
| cleverca22 | because CI runs 2.24.9 and doesnt understand that flag | 14:41:44 |
 emily | if you can use git subtrees | 14:46:14 |
| emily | your life will be a lot easier | 14:46:19 |
| cleverca22 | problem is convincing an upstream repo to entirely change how they manage things, when i will likely never be returning as a contributor | 14:55:47 |
| cleverca22 | bumping the nix version in the github action does fix the last error | 14:56:05 |
| emily | well if they ship a flake they should probably care about flake UX | 15:01:46 |
| emily | but I guess it depends on how Nix-y the project is | 15:01:56 |
| cleverca22 | given that it refuses to build when used as a flake input (because of the above issues), i think its just one nix user, that hasnt tested things fully | 15:35:41 |
|  vidariondr set a profile picture. | 18:31:01 |
| cleverca22 | [clever@amd-nixos:~/apps/vali/PSn00bSDK-Nix]$ nix flake info
warning: 'nix flake info' is a deprecated alias for 'nix flake metadata'
warning: Git tree '/home/clever/apps/vali/PSn00bSDK-Nix' is dirty
error:

error: input attribute 'submodules' not supported by scheme 'github'
| 21:00:39 |
| cleverca22 | emily: dang-it, lol | 21:00:51 |
| cleverca22 | git+https:// however does work | 21:08:14 |
| cleverca22 | only issue, is that github: poisons the lock file | 21:08:31 |
| cleverca22 | once you update with that, you cant update again to change the scheme | 21:08:43 |
| cleverca22 | correction.... | 21:09:13 |
| cleverca22 | git+https:// fetches, and then silently ignores the submodules = true;..... | 21:09:40 |
| cleverca22 | so basically, inputs.self.submodules = true; is almost useless
it seems to only work on git+file:// and nowhere else | 21:26:27 |

 woile | Maybe someone here in flakes can help me with this:
hi people, I need some help with importNpmLock.npmConfigHook. I'm trying to build this package using buildNpmPackage. But when building it I get:
mv: cannot stat 'package.json': No such file or directory
Which is inside the npm-config-hook. I'm not sure what's going wrong. The traceback shows the source folder being used and it contains the ./site/package.json and the npm-config-hook.sh does a pushd "$npmRoot", so it should be there. Any thoughts? Thanks!

 dramforever | wonder if anyone else uses git+https flake input for nixpkgs | 01:50:06 |
| dramforever | incremental updates are so much faster | 01:50:23 |
| dramforever | on the other hand seems to nix substitute flake input fetches | 01:53:28 |
| dramforever | so that's still one download | 01:53:34 |
| dramforever | * so that's still one download whenever it does get gc'd | 01:53:41 |
| dramforever | but that's easy to work around, just hold on to it in the system closure or something (which by default the flake registry thing already does yay) | 01:54:03 |
