Patrick Kilgore (Jun 22 2022 at 21:29): Patrick Kilgore (Jun 22 2022 at 21:29):I get an infinite loop of shells using direnv + nix develop. Anyone have a preferred way of avoiding this? use flake? use nix?
Ayaz Hafiz (Jun 22 2022 at 23:03):I have a direnv with “use flake” set and haven’t run into infinite loops. can you record what you’re seeing?
Patrick Kilgore (Jun 23 2022 at 00:24):@Ayaz Hafiz I'll use that then. I'm unfamiliar with nix, so I just dropped nix develop into the .envrc -- I found use flake later in the docs but wasn't sure if that was the same thing. I'll stick w/ use flake. Thanks!
Ricardo Valero de la Rosa (Jan 11 2024 at 21:19):Do I need --impure?
When using roc with nix flakes and direnv is it necessary to have in .envrc:
use flake . --impure;
I don't use It with --impure and It seems to work just fine.

Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 12 2024 at 00:43):So anything built in nix can't be used outside of nix
Brendan Hansknecht (Jan 12 2024 at 00:43):Not sure if --impure would fix that.
