@Aleš can i try setting that up ? 🤔
sure if you want
Going through all the steps carefully will take around 60 minutes.these more obscure distros sure like to make things a little hard lol @Nermal reading through the tutorial, I'm not sure you'll be even able to properly do it without actually having Nix
:monkaChrist: gimme some minutes i'll get back to you if i can set this up from some other blog

all npm i -g does is download the binary for the correct os and put it in path

This test is testing if
zcli push works correctly and can not be deleted, since zcli push operates with git initialized repository.
Can't Go build flags be used to ignore this test file while building for NixOS instead of the patch?Unknown User•5mo ago

Try to add
//go:build exclude to the top of that test file, it should be excluded during build phase.
Yeah, thing is, if that file changes, I can guarantee people would forget to update the patch file and it would break.Unknown User•5mo ago

Nice, we could probably have that tag straight in the file without the patch, since it's a test file, it isn't necessary during build phase.

One question, how does the
vendorHash work? Is hash supposed to be a checksum of the final binary?
Similar with version, does it somehow extract it from the gomodule, or is the one defined in .nix file static?
If yes, that means it has to be changed with every commit, which we would have to automate somehow 🤔Unknown User•5mo ago

We would like to avoid committing of the
vendor folder. But does anything prevent you doing go mod vendor before the build?Unknown User•5mo ago

What version of GO do you have installed? I think I encountered that when I had older version of GO.

If you run

Can you check if the vendor dir that gets created/moved isn't
/vendor/vendor/ like in this thread:

Can't update a Go package, getting
go: inconsistent vendoringThanks a lot for your help again. I finally figured this out 🎉 : This happens (probably only to me) due to installManPage in postBuild. The go-modules derivation inherits the postBuild that one would expect to be used by the main builder, not the builder of the go-modules derivation[1]: Hence since go-modules runs my postBuild, the $out dire...

Hi, sorry for such delay.
If by 1830 dependencies you mean downloaded files, that will probably be caused by packages downloading everything, including files that aren't really necessary (e.g.
_test.go, readme files etc.).
One thing I would change is the Arbel's zcli flake, since at least I would find it weird in an official repo (I have nothing against you and nermal being mentioned in maintainers of the nix flake).
Probably just to ZeropsCLI flake 🤔Hmmmmmmmm i was just thinking of testing it on a nix distro thats why i added myself
but well @Arbel i think this message is for you

Probably to something standard, it seems like it's basically a description you would have in a standard package manager, so probably just a

installed nix on parallels will test it there 😸
So did it work? If yes, ideally just a few notes for our docs would be nice (like, were you able to just run some 2 specific commands to install it), and I will merge that bad boy in and keep spamming our docs people untill it's there 😛
@Michal Saloň https://github.com/zeropsio/zcli/pull/163 feel free to merge this ~ and @Arbel mentioned he can write the guide for that
GitHub
added basic nix flake by Arbel-arad · Pull Request #163 · zeropsio...
a patch was required to disable some incompatible git file tests (nix removes .git when building)
@Aleš can we merge this ?
sure
done
thanks @Arbel!
