How to use installShellFiles with the new API ?

[pinage404]

Hello,

I tried to upgrade Rust from 1.64 to 1.65 but it fails https://gitlab.com/pinage404/git-gamble/-/jobs/3342573954 ; i think it's because i use an old version of nix-cargo-integration

I'm trying to upgrade from https://github.com/yusdacra/nix-cargo-integration/tree/3df28172b283d56c5b4f08d0291087a12da7c6f1 (previous main branch) to https://github.com/yusdacra/nix-cargo-integration/tree/5cc9744efb05e9bd4f0760e487f177eb47b74dac (current main branch)

I don't understand how to upgrade

Example in https://yusdacra.github.io/nix-cargo-integration/pkg-config-options.html#overrides seems to not match the templates https://github.com/yusdacra/nix-cargo-integration/blob/master/templates/full/flake.nix (overrideAttrs vs override)

How to use installShellFiles with the new API ?

From your update_nix_dependencies branch, your pkgConfig should look like this:

      pkgConfig = common: {
        "git-gamble" = {
          build = true;
          app = true;

          overrides = {
            add-build-reqs.overrideAttrs = old: {
              nativeBuildInputs =
              	(old.nativeBuildInputs or [])
              	++ (with common.pkgs; [
                	installShellFiles
                	bash
                	git
              	]);
              preCheck = ''
                patchShebangs tests/editor/fake_editor.sh
              '';
              postInstall = ''
                echo $PATH
                type installShellCompletion
                installShellCompletion --fish target/$cargoBuildProfile/build/git-gamble-*/out/git-gamble.fish
                installShellCompletion --bash target/$cargoBuildProfile/build/git-gamble-*/out/git-gamble.bash
                installShellCompletion --zsh target/$cargoBuildProfile/build/git-gamble-*/out/_git-gamble

                PATH="$PATH:target/release/bin/" sh ./script/usage.sh > git-gamble.1
                installManPage git-gamble.1
              '';
            };
          };
        };
      };

This should work I believe. To explain, overrides for a package get applied to that packages main derivation, aka when your crate(s) are actually being built, as opposed to the deps derivation which only builds the dependencies. Since we want to install shell completion, man pages etc. these should be done in the main derivation, not the deps derivation. And overrides is basically just an attrset of dream2nix overrides. You can name them anything you want (here I chose add-build-reqs), and then you can specify the override attributes. Here I used overrideAttrs, since it lets you access previous derivation attributes.

it still failing because it can't find git in the $PATH while running tests https://gitlab.com/pinage404/git-gamble/-/jobs/3380009041

with Rust, there is three types of dependencies : build-dependencies, dependencies and dev-dependencies

git-gamble needs :

• installShellFiles while installing (kindof build-dependencies)
• git and bash when running tests (kindof dev-dependencies)
• git at runtime (kindof dependencies)

i don't know how to specify this different types of dependencies with Nix
