I can't build on nix

[magnetophon]

Describe the bug
When I run the nix instruction from https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/blob/master/documents/README.org
I get an error.

Precise recipe to reproduce the issue

nix-env -i -f default.nix -I nixpkgs=channel:nixpkgs-unstable
installing 'nyxt-git'
these derivations will be built:

@jmercouris: Can you add file-attributes to the Nix flake?

[jmercouris]

I cannot, it errors out due to some other behaviors. I have already tried it... :-\

[jmercouris]

The classic "argument length is too long"

[Ambrevar]

Can you detail where, what, etc.? Maybe I can help.

[jmercouris]

I have been trying to trace it, perhaps we could do it together interactively on Monday?

[Ambrevar]

OK!

[Arian-D]

Any updates on this?
I would love to help, but I don't have much cl or asdf knowledge.
Let me know if you need help on the Nix side, though 🙂

[Ambrevar]

Looks like it's getting updated on nixpkgs-unstable: NixOS/nixpkgs#117902

[magnetophon]

I'm running that nyxt now.
Thanks!

[Ambrevar]

Fantastic!
