Clippy hook fails when run using `nix flake check`
This is the relevant flake.parts code:

}
The hook works fine when run in a devShell, but it fails when run as a flake check, as there is no internet access, no access to the cargo cache. Error:

Maybe we should have a way to pass a cargoDeps derivation to allow it to run in a flake check.
Maybe a stupid question, but I'm not gaining any insight from that PR. Is there any workaround to make these checks work in nix flake check currently? Or do we have to wait til that PR lands?

nix flake check runs in a pure environment, soclippy and cargo don't have access to anything that's not tracked by git and can't fetch dependencies from the internet.
Workarounds:
Use nix develop:
nix develop -c pre-commit run --all-files
Override the run derivation (example for flake-parts):
checks.pre-commit = pkgs.lib.mkForce (let
drv = config.pre-commit.settings.run;
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "pre-commit-run";
src = config.pre-commit.settings.rootSrc;
buildInputs = [ pkgs.git pkgs.openssl pkgs.pkg-config ];
nativeBuildInputs = [pkgs.rustPlatform.cargoSetupHook];
cargoDeps = pkgs.rustPlatform.importCargoLock {
lockFile = ./Cargo.lock;
};
buildPhase = drv.buildCommand;
});
