How do you use this without flakes?

[anka-213]

I get this error when I try using the latest version without flakes:

Hmm, this looks bad, thanks for reporting it. Can you work around it by setting load_nixConfig to false?

I see. At the point of hitting this error, we probably have at least a config drift, but we could fail much more gracefully.

Wdyt?

Tried this too, doesn't help

Any suggestions?

Hello, I'm hitting the same issue here.

I'd love to be able to use nix-quick-install-action in order to leverage cache-nix-action, which seems to require this specific package to work.

@jgoux Could you try using the latest revision (nix-quick-install-action@master)? I just committed a couple of fixes. It would be ideal if you could try it out both with load_nixConfig set to false and true.

@rickynils I just tried against nix-quick-install-action@master, it seems to work with the option load_nixConfig set to false. I tried true and got the same error as before. 👍

Thanks for the reactivity!

[rickynils]

@jgoux Thanks! Is it possible for me to see the output from the true case? Was it the exact same error as before?

[jgoux]

@rickynils The output is here: https://github.com/jgoux/acme/actions/runs/6623591526/job/17990926008#step:3:52

[rickynils]

@jgoux Would you mind re-running that workflow with load_nixConfig = true again?

[jgoux]

@rickynils It's now working with load_nixConfig = true! Great job! https://github.com/jgoux/acme/actions/runs/6624474804/job/17993531555?pr=25#step:3:34
