 elikoga | I mean it's right there | 00:32:30 |
| elikoga | In the manual | 00:32:34 |
| elikoga | Search nix manual | 00:32:41 |
| elikoga | Also what does this have to do with flakes | 00:33:20 |
 solomon | it doensn't | 00:33:41 |
| elikoga | flake-utils is a very pretty library but the function itself is not primarily related | 00:33:54 |
| solomon | you showed me this code as a possible solution to a flake isuse | 00:33:58 |
| elikoga | Though good question on the nix build command, since I have not found documentation for the shorthand flake attribute selector | 00:34:27 |
| solomon | in any case, it didnt fix my problem | 00:35:04 |
| solomon | those nested packages still arent showing up | 00:35:21 |
| elikoga | Not in the root? | 00:36:20 |
| elikoga | Since the tree is supposed to be flattened | 00:36:32 |
| solomon | packages = flake-utils.lib.flattenTree {
recurseForDerivations = true;
docker = import ./nix/docker.nix {
inherit pkgs;
cofree-bot = hsPkgs.cofree-bot;
};
ghc982 = flake-utils.lib.flattenTree {
recurseForDerivations = true;
chat-bots = hsPkgs.chat-bots;
chat-bots-contrib = hsPkgs.chat-bots-contrib;
cofree-bot = hsPkgs.cofree-bot;
default = hsPkgs.cofree-bot;
};
chat-bots = hsPkgs.chat-bots;
chat-bots-contrib = hsPkgs.chat-bots-contrib;
cofree-bot = hsPkgs.cofree-bot;
default = hsPkgs.cofree-bot;
};

| elikoga | I'm gonna stroke | 00:37:14 |
| solomon | lol | 00:37:21 |
| elikoga | I'm going to my laptop | 00:37:25 |
| elikoga | While I'm booting think about the word "flat" | 00:38:44 |
| solomon | okay so the example from the flake-utils repo doesn't work as they demonstrate | 00:42:04 |
| solomon | flattenTree { hello = pkgs.hello; gitAndTools = pkgs.gitAndTools }
| 00:42:14 |
| solomon | {
hello = «derivation»;
"gitAndTools/git" = «derivation»;
"gitAndTools/hub" = «derivation»;
# ...
}
| 00:42:21 |
| solomon | thats from their docs | 00:42:26 |
| solomon | nix-repl> inputs.flake-utils.lib.flattenTree { hello = pkgs.hello; gitAndTools = pkgs.gitAndTools; }
{
hello = «derivation /nix/store/aqgjk960qhww2m8hrhm6k3yacakqk7b1-hello-2.12.1.drv»;
}
| 00:42:37 |
| solomon | * This is what it actually does:
nix-repl> inputs.flake-utils.lib.flattenTree { hello = pkgs.hello; gitAndTools = pkgs.gitAndTools; }
{
hello = «derivation /nix/store/aqgjk960qhww2m8hrhm6k3yacakqk7b1-hello-2.12.1.drv»;
}

Does that help?
| 00:45:44 |
| solomon | huh i dont see whats different in your example | 00:47:09 |
| solomon | oh i was calling flattenTree at each level | 00:48:15 |

Download image.png | 00:48:25 |
| elikoga | Sure doesn't look like a derivation to me | 00:48:31 |
| solomon | it doesn't include the gitAndTools package as they claim it should | 00:48:59 |
