 cleverca22 | is there a way to get the local path of the flake from within the flake? i was using toString ./. but now that its a flake, thats pointing off into the store | 11:06:30 |
 elikoga | inputs.self? | 11:06:53 |
| elikoga | Ah wait local path, no not possible. Since it's pure. | 11:07:12 |
| elikoga | If you were able you would be able to smuggle information into the evaluation process | 11:07:43 |
| elikoga | Why do you want to access that string? | 11:08:07 |
| cleverca22 | In reply to @elikoga:matrix.org
Why do you want to access that string? i need the path to something in the working tree, to pass to a util i'm running in a shell
i dont want to have to re-load the shell every single time things get modified, thats already caused bugs because this wasnt noticed
i could use the working directory, but then it will fail if you cd into the wrong sub-dir
| 11:54:07 |
| elikoga | I use git rev-parse --show-toplevel in a shellHook in the dev shell and if you run it from outside the repo that's on you | 11:55:42 |
| cleverca22 | ah yes, that sounds perfect | 11:56:48 |
| cleverca22 | i'm also using direnv, so you cant run it from outside the repo | 11:57:19 |
| cleverca22 | the shell would unload all of those utils | 11:57:24 |
| cleverca22 | error: attribute 'self' missing
22| _module.args = {
23| inherit (flake) inputs self;
| ^
24| };
| 12:01:32 |
| cleverca22 | now that just leaves this puzzle, it was working earlier | 12:01:40 |
| elikoga | I do not know inherit (flake) I've never met this man in my life | 12:02:34 |
| elikoga | Also self is in inputs | 12:02:49 |
| cleverca22 | nix-repl> x = builtins.getFlake (toString ./.);
nix-repl> x.inputs.self

| 12:03:14 |
| cleverca22 | i think i just want flake.outputs | 12:03:55 |
| elikoga | I think you have access from the inside | 12:04:04 |
| elikoga | From the outside you can just toString getFlake to get the path I think | 12:04:25 |
| cleverca22 | in this case, i want one of the outputs on the flake | 12:04:41 |
| cleverca22 | x.outputs.packages.x86_64-linux.netinstall_image so yeah, i just want outputs | 12:05:00 |
