Alternative workaround: @thedavidmeister can you recommend a distro where nix-env --install
is known to work?
@pospi nix-env
on ubuntu and debian and mac and is tested by the CI
check the dockerfile and also this for troubleshooting :) https://forum.holochain.org/t/ubuntu-and-debian-troubleshooting-brain-dump/1007
@sdelvalle57 have you managed to get things working in your Ubuntu VM yet?
I'm trying to get
nix-env --install
working for Holonix-based projects. I'm pretty sure I need this to get a live development experience working for those on Windows; as they are running Windows IDEs with Virtualbox VMs (or perhaps cloud dev infrastructure... doesn't matter either way as it's all SSH in the end).So, what I need is a way for the Nix environment to be loaded and active at the moment the IDE's remote development tools connect to it. The only way I can see of doing this with Nix is by installing the environment. (If there are other ways, please let me know!)
It seems clear that this issue is causing a lot of productivity loss for a great number of devs; in fact I don't know anybody running Windows who has successfully gotten rls running in their editor. (possible relation to #72)
Anyway, the setup seems to be too broken to resolve itself. Even when running
NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1 NIXPKGS_ALLOW_BROKEN=1 nix-env --install
there are still failures related touritools
. Logs follow, any help much appreciated:
