@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Doing some printf debugging of c-ares, it doesn’t appear to be picking up the network interface when it gets the resolver. ☹️ 05:02:26
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode channel->sock_funcs isn’t being set up correctly. I wonder if this ever worked on Darwin. 06:01:18
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt doesn’t even work on Linux.06:06:59

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode I am so glad that curl is not in the Darwin bootstrap. 06:27:58

@sylvester-roos:matrix.orgsylvester-roos

Hello everyone. For some reason the App Management permission doesn't seem to work on darwin. As far as I can tell I'm doing this correctly, but I'd like to double-check with someone more knowledgeable

When I try to activate my home-manager config I get the following error:

Activating checkAppManagementPermission
error: permission denied when trying to update apps, aborting activation
home-manager requires permission to update your apps, please accept the notification
and grant the permission for your terminal emulator in System Settings.

If you did not get a notification, you can navigate to System Settings > Privacy & Security > App Management.

I did not get any notification, so I tried to add Ghostty (~/.nix-profile/Applications/Ghostty.app) to the list of App Management apps

I can add it to the list, but when I try to switch to the new home-manager config, Ghostty is removed from that list and the error shows up once more

What do I do here?

How might I make something like this test work on darwin too?

{ pkgs }:
let
  postgresConf = pkgs.writeText "postgresql.conf" ''
    unix_socket_directories = '/tmp'
  '';

  pgSetup = ''
    CREATE USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'postgres' CREATEDB SUPERUSER;
    CREATE DATABASE nix_phoenix_template_dev;
  '';
in
pkgs.writeShellApplication {
  name = "postgres-dev";

  runtimeInputs = with pkgs; [
    postgresql
  ];

  runtimeEnv = {
    PGDATA = ".database";
  };

  text = ''
    if [ ! -d $PGDATA ]; then
      initdb -D $PGDATA

      cat "${postgresConf}" >> $PGDATA/postgresql.conf

      postgres --single -E postgres <<< "${pgSetup}"
    fi

    exec postgres
  '';
}

I get these types of errors when building
