Just Add Water direnv support for the nix-shell.
Add sorri to your project:
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmattia/sorri/master/sorri --create-dirs --output nix/sorri
Update your .envrc to use sorri:
$ echo ". nix/sorri $(basename $PWD)" > .envrc
You're all set!
The sorri helper bootstraps projects for you. Install it with:
nix-env -if https://github.com/nmattia/sorri/tarball/master
... and from then on use:
$ sorri init
inside your project.
This is a simple, lightweight implementation of Tweag's lorri
sorri reuses lorri's tricks for figuring out the files to track for changes, but uses direnv's own mechanism for actually tracking those files. sorri uses a local cache at '~/.cache/sorri//v/'. Each entry is a directory containing two files:
~/.cache/sorri/niv/v1/
└── 0716a121e4f986f9f8cf11f7c579d332
├── link -> /nix/store/jfzkisfgmv3qgpzz3i8nai12y1cry77v-nix-shell
└── manifest
link is the result of a previous evaluation. manifest is used to find
that result of a previous evaluation. The directory name
(0716a121e4f986f9f8cf11f7c579d332 above) is the hash of the manifest.
link is a symlink to a shell script that sets a shell's variables.
cat ~/.cache/sorri/niv/v1/0716a121e4f986f9f8cf11f7c579d332/link
declare -x AR_x86_64_apple_darwin="/nix/store/amsm28x2hnsgp8c0nm4glkjc2gw2l9kw-cctools-binutils-darwin-927.0.2/bin/ar"
declare -x BZ2_LIB_DIR="/nix/store/7yikqcm4v4b57xv3cqknhdnf0p1aakxp-bzip2-1.0.6.0.1/lib"
declare -x BZ2_STATIC="1"
declare -x CARGO_BUILD_TARGET="x86_64-apple-darwin"
declare -x CARGO_TARGET_WASM32_UNKNOWN_UNKNOWN_LINKER="/nix/store/swiic36rl7njy6bfll5z0afl42c9q4s5-lld-9.0.1/bin/lld"
manifest is a list of files used for an evaluation alongside their checksums:
$ cat ~/.cache/sorri/niv/v1/0716a121e4f986f9f8cf11f7c579d332/manifest
/Users/nicolas/niv/shell.nix:029451f2a9bee59f4ce002bdbdf20554
/Users/nicolas/niv/nix/default.nix:7ff8c9138044fc7e31f1d4ed2bf1c0ba
/Users/nicolas/niv/nix/overlays/buf/default.nix:c4a24e0bba0178b73f0211d0f26147e6
...
sorri first checks the existing cache entries (sorri/niv/v1/0716..., etc); if it finds a cache entry with a manifest where all the manifest entries (nix/default.nix:7ff...) match local files, the link is loaded; if no manifest matches, a new entry is created and loaded.
