| Leonardo Santiago | Robert Hensing (roberth): is there a commit you'd recommend using for now, where settings are mostly working? I tried using latest from master but I realized most likely it was amidst a refactor because it was missing a flake::initLib() call somewhere in the C API and because of that experimental-features="flakes" wouldn't work no matter what. | 22:05:32 |
| Leonardo Santiago | if there isn't, is there any way I can contribute to it? | 22:05:46 |

| Leonardo Santiago | going to try today with latest commit again and see if this problem still persists. | 13:18:36 |
 Robert Hensing (roberth) | Hi Leonardo, I'm using commit ed129267dcd7dd2cce48c09b17aefd6cfc488bcd in the nixops4 repo | 13:37:46 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | * Hi Leonardo Santiago , I'm using commit ed129267dcd7dd2cce48c09b17aefd6cfc488bcd in the nixops4 repo | 13:37:59 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | here's the issue for getFlake, https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11399 | 13:39:22 |
| Robert Hensing (roberth) | Maybe John Ericson has ideas for how the C API should be initialized to include libflakes functionality? | 13:44:22 |

going to try today with latest commit again and see if this problem still persists. trace-function-calls is not available in current master either. Should I open an issue for this? | 13:48:03 |

Hi Leonardo Santiago , I'm using commit ed129267dcd7dd2cce48c09b17aefd6cfc488bcd in the nixops4 repo this was the commit I was using as well, but it was the one that prompted me to send this message as not all settings seem to be available | 13:50:28 |
| Leonardo Santiago | I'll try reverting even more to see if older commits still had all settings | 13:53:11 |
| Leonardo Santiago | In reply to @roberthensing:matrix.org
Maybe John Ericson has ideas for how the C API should be initialized to include libflakes functionality? I think there are 2 conflicting ideas for the C API, either it should be done through settings or through manual calling nix_libflake_init or something like that | 13:55:25 |

| Leonardo Santiago | the one that seems to make the most sense is to call it automatically when the experimental feature is set with nix_setting_set but that is stateful and might lead to problems as there is no way to "unregister" the getFlake primop if another instance don't want those settings | 13:57:33 |
| Leonardo Santiago | of course, that is considering that per-instantiator settings configuration is something that the api is trying to allow | 13:58:07 |
| Leonardo Santiago | which seems to the case, given that it is trying to run away from using the same global config for all NixEvalState instances. | 14:01:52 |
 John Ericson | I was thinking of making a libflake subclass of the evaluator | 19:50:58 |
| John Ericson | Which would also help | 19:51:03 |
| Leonardo Santiago | But how would that work from an API standpoint? | 20:43:56 |

| Leonardo Santiago | If you set experimental-features="flakes" it would return a different EvalState instance with flakes enabled? | 20:44:55 |
