nox can be used for other projects. #31

Hey there.

I added that check because people complained about the bad error reporting when run outside of nixpkgs.

Could you tell me on what projects you use that feature so we can find a new check that would work for all project instead of just removing it ?

Thanks !

Hi @madjar , so the idea is to use https://github.com/fractalide/org.fractalide which is a website to automate many of the changes in https://github.com/fractalide/fractalide . the website will run nox against a users clone of fractalide/fractalide (on the server) and give compilation feedback to users whom are developing fbp components. Basically org.fractalide is an optional IDE for fractalide/fractalide

So, I guess checking for the presence of default.nix would do the trick, right ?

I'd imagine that would do the trick!

Ho, sorry, I hadn't seen you pushed a new commit. I'll merge this right away. Can you confirm this works for you now? I'll make a new release if that's the case.

Thanks a lot!
