@lassulus:lassul.uslassulus why does nix repl behave different when I run nix repl . vs running :lf in nix repl? 11:32:12
@lassulus:lassul.uslassuluslike inputs is not available in the first case, is there a rationale for that I'm not understanding?11:32:39

I recall there was an issue or a discussion about this. Can’t find it now though

Also find this confusing

@joerg:thalheim.ioMic92 matthewcroughan: any chance this can be git bisected? https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/14130 15:26:01

@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanIt's not reproducible, it seems to happen more often on bcachefs 15:30:04

@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfault I think https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14135 is good to merge pending Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)'s approval. The last thing I wanted to look at was ReleaseStaticDefaultClientBootstrap, but that's private and already called by the ApiHandle destructor 22:43:07
@jade_:matrix.orgjade_oh yeah i found this bug in lix the other day, i don't have any idea why it's like that, it sucks!22:57:36
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonoh sheesh that sounds like some code dedup that I wanted to do that we never quite got to22:58:15
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonshouldn't be too hard though22:58:24

@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria Maybe you are thinking of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/13727 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) 00:40:36
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria nix edit vs :edit; Looks like the repl might allow file paths vs. "installables" in a few more cases 00:40:58
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultokay, I have a fix for https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/431303:43:47
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultwe'll need to bikeshed on naming a little bit but I think it's good03:44:00
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaultjust need to get the tests looking a little nicer03:44:16
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfaulthttps://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/1413803:52:59
@lovesegfault:matrix.orglovesegfault the bikeshedding needed is on that isArchiveBased() name, idk what else to call it or if that's good 03:54:37
@getchoo:matrix.orggetchooopened https://github.com/NixOS/experimental-nix-installer/pull/49 so we can use builds with the previous installer fix in nix's main ci05:13:58
