Hey y'all. I'm trying to set up a new project with Flakes and I'm.... I'm clearly doing something wrong, but I can't even guess what.

In my repo, I issue nix flake init. It exits 0 -- prints no output, but doesn't error. Then I nix flake new; from here on, no matter what I do, I get some variation on error: getting status of '/nix/store/dkp69n965c3wppsfafvg1cxn36fcbgi7-source/schema-tools/flake.nix': No such file or directory.

did you add flake.nix to your git repo with git add flake.nix?

In reply to @gastove:matrix.org
I haven't yet, but I'm happy to try it. Is the goal to have a clean working tree? I'm the only Nix user at my company so far, so I was planning on adding my flake to my .gitignore.

oh, yes, I didn't see line 57 before ... hmm ... so I can see how reaching through the module boundary like this (i.e. going around the module-provided pkgs) can lead to issues, but the error message is still rather unintuitive ...

so if this was just about self not being bound in the new file, please disregard my comments about providing it.

Is there some flake input URL syntax for the latest tag of a git repo? For example, I have

# a flake.nix
{
  inputs = {
    fish-plugin-fzf-dot-fish = {
      url = "github:PatrickF1/fzf.fish?ref=v9.5";
      flake = false;
    };
  };
  outputs = {self, ...}: {
    #...
  };
}

Instead of ?ref=v9.5, I'm looking to do something like ?latest_tag so that it automatically just shifts to the latest available tag when I run e.g. nix flake lock --update-input fish-plugin-fzf-dot-fish and therefore give me less toil.

You can just remove the ?ref=v9.5 part to get the latest commit

howdy, i have a flake i use for a devShell containing dotnet, nuget, and omnisharp, and i'm wondering how i can prevent these dependencies from clogging up $HOME. here's my flake:

  description = "Basic dotnet dev environment";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, flake-utils, ... }:
    flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem
      (system:
        let
          pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
          omnisharp = pkgs.omnisharp-roslyn;

          # nvimrc = ...;
        in
        {
          # Used by `nix develop`
          devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
            buildInputs = with pkgs; [
              #basics
              dotnet-sdk
              dotnet-runtime
              #packages
              dotnetPackages.Nuget #install nuget declaratively

              #unit testing
              dotnetPackages.NUnit
              dotnetPackages.NUnitRunners

              #language server of choice
              omnisharp-roslyn
            ];

           # My attempts at decluttering HOME

            DOTNET_ROOT = "\${XDG_DATA_HOME}/dotnet";
            DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT = 1;
            DOTNET_SKIP_FIRST_TIME_EXPERIENCE = "true";

            shellHook = ''
              echo '${nvimrc}' > .nvimrc.lua
              export NUGET_PACKAGES=$XDG_DATA_HOME/nuget
              export OMNISHARPHOME=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/omnisharp
            '';
          };
        }
      );
}

one thing i've been suggested is to use https://github.com/queer/boxxy, which i'm not against, but i would prefer something native to Nix. supposedly i can fiddle with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to recreate what boxxy does, but i don't know anything about what to do. any pointers?
