error: getting status of '/nix/store/bbi0bn9i9dslcrc1nasckhbkb8gqd66m-source/doom/doom.d': No such file or directory

Hello,

I am receiving this error when I run nix develop from my workspace folder. I'm new to nix, so it's likely something that I'm doing wrong.

In a workspace folder:

doom/
├── flake.lock
└── flake.nix

0 directories, 2 files

In home (excluding extra files/folders):

.doom.d
├── config.el
├── custom.el
├── init.el
├── packages.el

Your doom.d directory should be in the same location as your flake files; that's why it errors with .../doom/doom.d: No such file or directory. My understanding is you put them in ˜, which would not be accessible by your flake project if that's different from your project root location. Pure nix evaluations (like using flakes without --impure) generally require all files to be in the project's version control system.
