 Rene | Hello. I have a flake that has an app that talks to a MySQL database. If I do nix develop and run the tests manually, it can connect to the database. If I do nix build (which includes running the tests), all the tests fail with an error that it can't connect to the database. What's the right way to write the flake so it finds the database? | 21:03:46 |
 Jeff | nix build runs in a sandbox so you can't connect to external resources. You'll need to set up a database inside the build to run the tests against. | 22:40:06 |

| Rene | Hello. Can anyone point me to an example of a flake to build a NodeJS/Angular project?
I found some tutorials about node2nix, but it keeps failing when trying to build the canvas Node package. It's using an older version of node-gyp that doesn't like python-3.13. The recommended solution of also installing Python's setuptools does not solve the issue (by adding it to buildInputs or nativeBuildInputs). | 15:24:52 |
| Rene | I managed to get the newer version of node-gyp, now it can't find pkg-config:
npm error /nix/store/rlq03x4cwf8zn73hxaxnx0zn5q9kifls-bash-5.3p3/bin/sh: line 1: pkg-config: command not found
npm error gyp: Call to 'pkg-config pixman-1 --libs' returned exit status 127 while in binding.gyp. while trying to load binding.gyp
I have pkg-config in the buildInputs, and have even overridden the Node package's buildInputs to add it, it still can't find it.
| 17:20:22 |
 flyx | if I fetch a .zip file as flake input with flake = false;, it gets unzipped automatically. how can I set the filename encoding when unzipping? | 21:50:57 |
| 28 Nov 2025 |
| Rene | After further research, this error is not because pkg-config is missing, it's because pixman-1 can't be found. The PKG_CONFIG_PATH is not being set.
Is there an expression to add something in buildInputs to PKG_CONFIG_PATH? | 13:04:33 |
