Create and activate venv via Nix Flake #229
Conversation
|
This was finished prior to #149 being merged, which appears to have added a dep for libpulse and currently prevents the program from starting successfully via the flake. I'll create pr to fix that (and some other dep issues) soon, but this was bad timing on my part. Converting to draft |

Same as my comment on #224, I've will follow up as soon as I've done a proper test and review, thank you! |

Just a heads up, the instructions for running/building from source have been moved from the README to CONTRIBUTING.md |

Currently, everything related to the actual creation of the venv works. The main blocker I'm on right now is mypy always fails with |

Thanks for the hard work on this. I'll see if I can figure something out myself for mypy. |

Really couldn't figure out a way to get mypy to function without using from nixpkgs repos. For now the versions are the same as in the |

This is a dev shell for developers to use, on NixOS you cannot just clone a repo and expect that to work and libraries don't exist the same as on a traditional distribution. This dev shell provides the utilities and libraries needed for a working development environment to use on TagStudio. |
When using the nix flake to generate a development shell, the python virtual environment will now automatically be created and dependecies from both requirements.txt and requirements-dev.txt will be installed. This removes the need for using the setup script after entering the dev shell. Exec bash must be the last thing called, as any other commands past it will not get executed by the shell hook. Also removes some duplicate dependencies that I found.
Mostly as a fallback for xserver.
Moves the previous updated blurb from the README to the new CONTRIBUTING file. Also reworks some wording to link to the Flake nix wiki page for nix users who haven't enable flakes yet.

This totally got lost with other responsibilities and life events, for which I am at fault for for not giving this the attention it needed sooner. I am going to pull this as-is right now to give me a starting place for a dev shell using devenv which it appears is what the big thing in the Nix development ecosystem is. Be on the lookout for that being merged tonight or sometime tomorrow. |
When running
nix developto generate a development shell, the python virtual environment will now automatically be created and dependencies from requirements.txt will be installed (and the venv will be activated). Effectively, this moves the setup portion of the TagStudio.sh to the flake and means the setup script for Linux/Mac is no longer needed when using nix. The README has been updated to reflect the new process ofnix developthenpython3 tagstudio/tag_studio.py.The python virtualenvironment package has been replaced with venvShellHook, which creates a virtual environment in the directory specified by $venvDir (in this case ./.venv). This also gives the postVenvCreation hook, where pip install is then executed. The previous shellHook needed to be moved to postShellHook to execute after the venv is created.
unset SOURCE_DATE_EPOCHis probably not necessary, but is to solve a potential issue between pip and nix and appears in a lot of python flake examples.
