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 |
Ilan Joselevich (Kranzes) | (If that's even possible?) | 17:11:56 |
SomeoneSerge (matrix works sometimes) | In reply to @kranzes:matrix.org (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 (matrix works sometimes) | But nix path parsing is already stateful, so you could make a backwards incompatible change to accommodate those? | 17:18:07 |
Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @ss:someonex.net 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 |
