@kranzes:matrix.orgIlan 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
@kranzes:matrix.orgIlan 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
@kranzes:matrix.orgIlan 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
@kranzes:matrix.orgIlan Joselevich (Kranzes)(If that's even possible?)17:11:56

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
