Warning: Failed to upgrade ../ReadRealTimeWriteCSV/ using `nix profile upgrade`: ../ReadRealTimeWriteCSV/: package not found

[josephwinston]

What happened?

Using Devbox 0.10.7 and the command upgrade now produces this new warning on WSL2

Steps to reproduce

1. Have custom flake being built as:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
    nuget-packageslock2nix = {
      url = "github:mdarocha/nuget-packageslock2nix/main";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, nuget-packageslock2nix, ... }: {
    packages.x86_64-linux.default =
      let
        pkgs = import nixpkgs { system = "x86_64-linux"; };
        dotnet-sdk = pkgs.dotnetCorePackages.sdk_8_0;
        dotnet-aspnetcore = pkgs.dotnetCorePackages.aspnetcore_8_0;
        dotnet-runtime = pkgs.dotnetCorePackages.runtime_8_0;
      in
      pkgs.buildDotnetModule {
          dotnet-runtime = dotnet-runtime;
          dotnet-sdk = dotnet-sdk;
          dotnet-aspnetcore = dotnet-aspnetcore;

        pname = "ReadRealTimeWriteCSV";
        version = "0.0.1";
        src = ./ReadRealTimeWriteCSV;
        nugetDeps = nuget-packageslock2nix.lib {
          system = "x86_64-linux";
          name = "ReadRealTimeWriteCSV";
          lockfiles = [
            ./ReadRealTimeWriteCSV/packages.lock.json
          ];
        };
      };

      formatter.x86_64-linux = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.nixpkgs-fmt;

      devShells.x86_64-linux.default = let
        pkgs = import nixpkgs { system = "x86_64-linux"; };
      in
      pkgs.mkShell {
        buildInputs = with pkgs; [
          dotnet-sdk_8
        ];
      };
  };
}

2. Added flake using devbox add path:../ReadRealTimeWriteCSV
3. devbox update reports the new warning

Command

No response

devbox.json

{
  "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetify-com/devbox/0.10.6/.schema/devbox.schema.json",
  "packages": [
    "../ReadCSVWriteRealTime/",
    "path",
    "../WriteInputCSV/",
    "../ReadRealTimeWriteCSV/",
    "dos2unix@latest"
  ],
  "shell": {
    "init_hook": [
      "echo 'Welcome to devbox!' > /dev/null"
    ],
    "scripts": {
      "test": [
        "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
      ]
    }
  }
}

### Devbox version

0.10.7

### Nix version

nix (Nix) 2.17.1

### What system does this bug occur on?

### Debug logs

Is the devbox.json in this formatted correctly? It should be something like

  "packages": [
    "path:../ReadCSVWriteRealTime/",
    "path:../WriteInputCSV/",
    "path:../ReadRealTimeWriteCSV/",
    "dos2unix@latest"
  ],

The error message is saying that it can't find that package, most likely because ../ReadCSVWriteRealTime/ is not a valid Flake reference. Formatting it as above should fix the package not found error

[josephwinston]

I agree the devbox.json isn't correct. I'm not in the habit of editing the file by hand, but did it this time to match your example:

  "packages": [
      "path:../ReadCSVWriteRealTime/",
      "path:../WriteInputCSV/",
      "path:../ReadRealTimeWriteCSV/",
    "dos2unix@latest"
  ],

I still have the issue:

the good news is that everything works
