 Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | Is there a place explaining NIX_PATH parsing with more complex paths like "nixpkgs=flake:github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-22.05" which include many colons? | 17:08:25 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | I'm trying to implement the full NIX_PATH parsing logic in snix but I dont even understand the behavior in Nix. | 17:09:17 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | Could someone write a NIX_PATH string that includes all the 5 search path attrsets in this example? https://nix.dev/manual/nix/2.33/language/builtins#builtins-findFile | 17:11:33 |

(If that's even possible?) Looking at the code, it's not; -I only works because it skips parseNixPath or something | 17:16:32 |
| SomeoneSerge (back on matrix) | But nix path parsing is already stateful, so you could make a backwards incompatible change to accommodate those? | 17:18:07 |

But nix path parsing is already stateful, so you could make a backwards incompatible change to accommodate those? Greedy behaviour here would have been nice, but from my discussion with raito that’s not exactly a priority atm | 17:39:42 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Valentin had a meme for this | 17:40:23 |

 raitobezarius | it would be ideal to find a path forward to destroy NIX_PATH parsing | 18:15:16 |
| raitobezarius | especially due to the meme | 18:15:24 |

 roberth | I think a lot of folks share that sentiment, on a spectrum between discourage and destroy. What would you suggest for a solution? | 18:24:30 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | FWIW: That search path is taken from the docs of findFile, makes it a whole lot more confusing when you realize it works with -I but not with NIX_PATH | 18:25:12 |
| raitobezarius | There's not much solutions to propose at this step | 18:25:26 |
| raitobezarius | It depends on a rework of the setting system | 18:25:32 |
| raitobezarius | because it is deeply related to that | 18:25:36 |
| Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | FWIW, I get totally different behavior on Lix, something with how Lix ignores NIX_PATH with flakes maybe? I'm really not sure | 18:26:53 |

https://gist.github.com/Kranzes/da0ee0920adf9ce94183b6cec3bbe9c2 I also have a feeling that port in URL’s authority will parse funnily | 18:27:11 |
