I was able to package omnibus for this, but the problem is that I am not sure how does it recognize programs specified on config/software, as I'm getting a:

I could not find a software named `pkg-name' in any of the software locations:
/build/source/omnibus/config/software

I have curl on the nativeBuildInputs (shown below), but it is not being recognized:

{ lib
, stdenv
, fetchFromGitHub
, substituteAll
, omnibus
, curl
}:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  pname = "chef-workstation";
  version = "23.9.1049";

  src = fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "chef";
    repo = "chef-workstation";
    rev = version;
    hash = "sha256-u0bDOXcJggPt+4VWAIq1xNnRofGZKXIp54aqbCgg4qk=";
  };

  nativeBuildInputs = [
    curl
    omnibus
  ];

  patches = [
    ./0001-omnibus-setup.patch
  ];

  preBuild = ''
    export HOME="$(mktemp -d)"
    cd omnibus
    substituteInPlace kitchen.yml \
      --replace "install_dir:         /opt/chef-workstation" "install_dir:         $out/opt/chef-workstation"
  '';

  buildPhase = ''
    runHook preBuild

    curl --help #Works
    omnibus build chef-workstation #Throws 'I could not find a software named `curl' in any of the software locations'

    runHook postBuild
  '';
}

Any help appreciated

Hi @WolfangAukang ,

I managed to package chef-workstation for my personal use.

You can circumvent omnibus entirely by simply using this Gemfile . This is what omnibus itself uses to create chef-workstation .

I wanted to PR this package to nixpkgs, but unfortunately due to what I think are bugs in rubyEnv I could only get the package working with this external rubyEnv fork..

This said, here are the files I'm using to get a chef-workstation package:

Feel free attempt to package this on nixpkgs without relying on that external flake. And please mention me if you do :)

Thank you @rafaelsgirao. In the end, I saw you have it on your nixos-config repo, so I can simply pull it from there (nix build) in case I need it.
