 msgilligan | * There are some really basic tests in corretto | 04:41:11 |
 Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | Oh huh, so there are, those should be ported to all of the other JDKs as a sanity check | 04:42:26 |
| msgilligan | Yeah, I was thinking it would make sense to have one set of tests that can run against all the different JDKs | 04:43:50 |
| Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | Something in pkgs/test at least | 04:44:09 |
| msgilligan | I made this draft PR earlier today: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421637 | 04:52:23 |
| Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | Put a review. installCheckPhase vs passthru tests I'm not entirely sure, but I think things like checking version should be installCheckPhase, and checking compilation should be passthru tests. | 05:07:24 |
| Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | (Above and beyond the checkPhase they should probably already have) | 05:07:48 |
| msgilligan | Yeah, I started writing that before I even knew about passthru. All the different options for tests are pretty confusing for a beginner. | 05:26:41 |
| Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | Nix in a nutshell, really | 05:27:02 |
| msgilligan | Well, it’s always easier to add a test when there are existing tests to add to. But I do think a paragraph or two about where the tests are or will/should be a would be helpful | 05:32:09 |
| msgilligan | Maybe someday we can run this:

| msgilligan | I just realized this suggestion is wrong. The Languages and frameworks section is under Build Helpers and there is no JDK Build Helper. | 14:29:20 |

| msgilligan | I'm getting schooled by @dtomvan (and GitHub checks) on testing on (above) PR #421637 😁 | 00:05:28 |

| msgilligan | * Merged: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421637
Thanks everyone for their help! | 15:30:40 |
| msgilligan | and I rebased https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/421362 so it will now get (minimally) tested. | 16:00:56 |

| @softmoonworld:matrix.org | has anyone had any luck with using nix-ld within the context of using a flake as a java dev env? I could use some clarity since I'm new to nixOS and flakes | 00:10:44 |
| msgilligan | * Does anyone on this list have the ability to merge PR #421362 (above) ? It's a straightforward version bump and has 2 approvals. Update: it's been merged! | 15:54:14 |
| @softmoonworld:matrix.org | i think i don't need to use a flake, i'm going to focus on working with nix-shell and ensuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH is path.
| 15:58:35 |
| msgilligan | Can you describe the big picture of what you are trying to do? Why do you want to use nix-ld? I have used a C library from Java in Flake-based dev shell, but it was already in Nixpkgs. I have not used nix-ld before and just now read what it is. Can you describe your use case a little? | 16:03:13 |
| @softmoonworld:matrix.org | of course! i'm working on a codebase that is written in Java, and that requires me to install JVM and gradle as you know. But this project when running needs to dynamically load a libGL library. However when it does it can't seem to locate it. I believe that if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set, it should be able to find it
| 16:36:39 |
| @softmoonworld:matrix.org | nix-ld seems to be a way to draw in from external libraries for compiling a package? I need to spend more time wrapping my head around it

 emily | just add autoAddDriverRunpath to nativeBuildInputs | 16:40:36 |
