3 years ago Another instance of this can be observed when trying to build nushell:
git clone https://github.com/nushell/nushell.git
cd nushell
# the current release while I'm writing this
git checkout 0.28.0
nix-env -i -f https://github.com/kolloch/crate2nix/tarball/0.9.0
crate2nix generate
nix-env -iA nixos.niv
niv init
niv add mozilla/nixpkgs-mozilla
# Copied from crate2nix's manual
cat << 'EOF' >> nix/nixpkgs.nix
let
# Manage this with https://github.com/nmattia/niv
# or define { nixpkgs = ...; nixpkgs-mozilla = ...; }
# yourself.
sources = import ./sources.nix;
rustChannelsOverlay = import "${sources.nixpkgs-mozilla}/rust-overlay.nix";
# Useful if you also want to provide that in a nix-shell since some rust tools depend
# on that.
rustChannelsSrcOverlay = import "${sources.nixpkgs-mozilla}/rust-src-overlay.nix";
in import sources.nixpkgs {
overlays = [

rustc = super.latest.rustChannels.stable.rust;
inherit (super.latest.rustChannels.stable) cargo rust rust-fmt rust-std clippy;

I tried to use crate2nix along the "Choosing a Rust Version" readme part. My sample code had only one dependency, copypasta (version = "0.7"). Running nix-build returns the following error:
The whole trace looks like this:
