Zshrc is not replaced after `nix run .#build-switch` on MacOS #102

Closed Demianeen closed 4 months ago

Demianeen commented 4 months ago

I am starting with Nix, and everybody uses NixOS, so I was happy to find I have a good Nix guide that can help me to start with Nix. Big thanks for that)

I did go with the Full version with secrets management. I completed each step without issues (thanks to good docs) until the final step, nix run .#build-switch. Although the command ran without errors, my zshrc was not replaced with the new configuration, and the flake was not activated.

The output from nix run .#build-switch:

There were some errors due to the old zsh config. I was getting errors that brew is already there so I just did sudo mv /opt/homebrew{,.bak} which broke my zshrc

Okay, in my case the issue was that homebrew failed to install already existing apps so it failed and program stopped, I thought it would continue, the same behaviour as with mas cli. It is an unintuitive behaviour. I assume this is because I installed them not as the brew casks, so it was failing
