| eveeifyeve | Does anyone know how to run tests just by them selves without meson. Because I am trying to run tests to get to the point of failing tests both locally and CI of this pr: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/actions/runs/21536152140/job/62062248779?pr=15041 | 17:23:45 |

| eveeifyeve | It should be this: TEST_NAME="post-hook" NIX_REMOTE='' PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE[0]-$0}:$LINENO) '' tests/functional/post-hook.sh but it's not running the thing... | 17:25:47 |
| eveeifyeve | Nvm it's TEST_NAME="post-hook" NIX_REMOTE='' PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE[0]-$0}:$LINENO)' tests/functional/post-hook.sh. | 17:27:43 |

| eveeifyeve | John Ericson: Hmm interesting error: post-build-hook: error: not an absolute path: 'netrc'. Idk where to start to fix that. | 17:47:04 |

 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @eveeifyeve:matrix.orgIn my experience that’s a moot point. Just run via meson test —interactive | 18:50:29 |
 figsoda joined the room. | 20:22:49 | |
| figsoda | Is there some way to specify the name of the output path when using nix flake prefetch or fetchTree? I digged a little through the source code, and it seems like name is an attribute that defaults to source and passed around, but I couldn't find any way to change it to something other than the default. | 20:27:47 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @figsoda:matrix.orgDon’t think so, it’s only allowed for fetchGit | 20:44:05 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | FetchTreeParams::allowNameArgument | 20:44:24 |
| figsoda | Thanks for the pointers, do you know if there is a design reason why that's the case? Or is it just that they haven't got around to implementing it, and it was just there so fetchGit can use fetchTree | 20:48:11 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In reply to @figsoda:matrix.orgHonestly I don’t know. “source” is special-cases in all sorts of places in the store layer and the justification is probably along the lines of why that used to be preferred for FOD fetchers in nixpkgs - when changing the fetcher the outpath would stay the same. Whether that’s a good idea is another question | 20:50:09 |
