 gekoke | it's what nixpkgs' emacs tooling does under the hood to load dependencies into emacs - you can browse any emacs package's Nix output directory and see what's going on | 02:57:35 |
| gekoke | In reply to @gekoke:envs.net
I played around with writing a derivation that outputs a .el script based on your package dependencies that you can eval to add paths to your load path a few days ago which would make it so you can develop the package in your own environment, whilst still having it be sourced from Nix code | 02:58:29 |
| gekoke | * maybe create a Nix package for your package and then use `pkgs.emacsWithPackages`? | 02:58:40 |
 bestlem | On a similar thing is there a way of loading non emacs packages so that they are only on the path for emacs e.g. not using home.packages = [] | 08:09:40 |
| bestlem | The complication is that I am on macOS and so use exec-path-from-shell.el which replaces the path that the emacs build sets up
| 10:06:10 |
| bestlem | and I use direv via envrc.el which again replace exec-path
| 10:38:32 |
| bestlem | * and I use direnv via envrc.el which again replace exec-path
| 10:40:25 |
| gekoke | I use envrc.el as well, and I know I can still call binaries from my path after entering devShells because I can start LSP sessions. | 12:26:32 |
| gekoke | so I suspect there is some way to wrap the program, likely with the wrapProgram shellhook that would work | 12:27:11 |
| gekoke | though I haven't investigated and I'm not on macOS | 12:27:27 |
 lxsameer | hey folks, while building a package, is it us (nix derivation) that calles loaddefs-generate on a package? | 16:21:20 |
| lxsameer | all the generated autoload files contains the same expression:
;;; haskell-autoloads.el --- automatically extracted autoloads (do not edit) -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;; Generated by the `loaddefs-generate' function.
;; This file is part of GNU Emacs.
;;; Code:
(add-to-list 'load-path (or (and load-file-name (directory-file-name (file-name-directory load-file-name))) (car load-path)))
;;; End of scraped data
(provide 'haskell-autoloads)
;; Local Variables:
;; version-control: never
;; no-byte-compile: t
;; no-update-autoloads: t
;; no-native-compile: t
;; coding: utf-8-emacs-unix
;; End:
;;; haskell-autoloads.el ends here
| 16:37:54 |
| lxsameer | is that expected? | 16:38:04 |
| lxsameer | hmmm surprisingly there is two autoload files for each lib in different locations | 17:28:26 |
 linj | In reply to @lxsameer:matrix.org
is that expected? it is part of the installation process of package.el, see package-unpack function, which elpaBuild and melpaBuild calls | 17:29:46 |
| lxsameer | cheers | 17:30:01 |
| linj | two autoload files in one package do not look right | 17:32:42 |
| lxsameer | In reply to @me:linj.tech
two autoload files in one package do not look right one is in site-lisp for example site-lisp/haskell-mode-autoloads.el and the otherone is in site-lisp/elpa/haskell-mode-20231115.1812/haskell-mode-autoloads.el | 17:35:42 |
| lxsameer | the second one contains the correct autoloads | 17:35:56 |
| lxsameer | the one that I posted above is the first one | 17:36:12 |
| lxsameer | but for some reason, emacs does not load the second autoloads | 17:36:34 |
| lxsameer | oh found the reason, there was a zombie file with the same name lurking around | 17:42:07 |
| linj | In reply to @lxsameer:matrix.org
one is in site-lisp for example site-lisp/haskell-mode-autoloads.el and the otherone is in site-lisp/elpa/haskell-mode-20231115.1812/haskell-mode-autoloads.el I only have one in site-lisp/elpa. looks an error in your config? | 17:42:11 |
| lxsameer | but still use-package does not respects the autoloads file | 17:42:27 |
| linj | emm, use-package has nothing to do with package loading | 17:48:00 |
| linj | it is a way to organize your init.el config | 17:48:51 |
| lxsameer | (use-package foo) will require foo unless :defer t is provided | 17:50:52 |
| lxsameer | or other keys | 17:51:01 |
| linj | In reply to @lxsameer:matrix.org
but still use-package does not respects the autoloads file what do you mean by "not respect" | 17:55:58 |
| linj | autoload files are loaded before your init file | 17:58:07 |
