 getchoo | when dogfooding is an enabled with this experimental installer option, you'll end up with an 4: Failed to execute command HOME="/root" "/nix/store/dkmylx2wyz9i6ycbmr07lpv15mph0d7y-nix-main-2.32.0pre/bin/nix-store" "--load-db"`` errori traced it back to this pretty naive snippet of code that basically just takes the first path in the store matching nix-* and runs it, with no checks for if /bin/nix-store actually exists https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/blob/20be610e1f29c8a127146da67ed56f879b173ac6/src/action/base/setup_default_profile.rs#L55-L70 | 04:19:47 |
| getchoo | this worked before the component split in 2.29 since there would only be one main nix store path at this point, but now it matches the nix-main store path first, which doesn't a bin dir or any of the nix binaries | 04:21:02 |
| getchoo | i figured this was something probably fixed in an update upstream and i'd need to wait on a rebase, but the code there actually remains entirely the same https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/blob/8a7bb095d93ada552d20d2f22ffd9f1668f8e394/src/action/base/setup_default_profile.rs#L56-L69 | 04:22:07 |
| getchoo | i think this might only work because the hash part of the release nix store path happens to be sorted before the other components, while it isn't in the pre-release tarball from the artifacts i'm pushing into this lol | 04:33:40 |
