Hi,
I’ve upgraded to 0.1.4-r446-0.0.10-r224 and I noticed this error when I start the shell:
path '/root' does not contain a 'flake.nix', searching up
error: could not find a flake.nix file
I’m activating the default environment via .zshrc with . <(flox activate).
With previous version I didn’t have this issue.
Any suggestion?
Howdy, thanks for the report.
I have a theory about why this is occurring, and I am going to file a ticket for our engineers.
I think in the short term you could use a more explicit invocation : . <( flox activate -e default; ); which should tell flox that you are trying to activate the default environment “global” to the user, as opposed to a project.
I suspect this crash occurs when you open a shell inside of a git repository, so it’s trying to locate a “project environment” in that tree.
Hi Alex, thanks for getting back to me. This worked, thank you.
I thought I didn’t need to specify the default environment since I wasn’t specifying a project. In previous versions my assumption was correct.
It’s not strictly a git repo, it’s the dotfiles environment, managed by chezmoi, which uses git to manage it.
Gotcha. This sounds like a bug to me, I think what we ought to do is get flox to fall back to globally defined envs if a project doesn’t contain an environment.
I am confused about whyits attempting to search for project environments when you aren’t in a git repo but our engineers will look into it
Just speculating here, but maybe one of these files triggers the logic?
Thanks for the follow up, I think you’re probably right. I’ll pass this along to help folks debug.
Did using -e help you?
Perfectly. I reported back in my first reply to your suggestion. Thanks again.
