error: path '/home' is a symlink for PHP package

Open quazar-omega opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

What happened?

I was trying to set up PHP, it installs correctly, but if I try to enter the shell it breaks, because it can't resolve my home that is a symlink to /var/home, it's set up this way since I'm using Fedora Kinoite.

Incriminated lines in the generated flake:

      extensions = builtins.concatLists(builtins.filter (x: x != null) [
        (builtins.match "^php.*Extensions\.([^@]*).*$" "path:/home/amusing-dove/Documenti/Develop/Languages/PHP/array-mangling/.devbox/virtenv/php/flake")
        (builtins.match "^php.*Extensions\.([^@]*).*$" "path:/home/amusing-dove/Documenti/Develop/Languages/PHP/array-mangling/.devbox/virtenv/php/flake#composer")
        (builtins.match "^php.*Extensions\.([^@]*).*$" "php@latest")
      ]);

Possibly related issue: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/issues/912 (it's the installer that I used, though I never faced the mentioned issue, probably because I installed it one month after that issue was reported, so the fix might have already landed when I did)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have the system home directory be a symbolic link, e.g. on Fedora Atomic
  2. Run devbox init
  3. Run devbox add php
  4. Run devbox shell
  5. Can't enter the shell because the expression evaluation fails

Command

shell

devbox.json

{
  "$schema":  "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetify-com/devbox/0.11.0/.schema/devbox.schema.json",
  "packages": ["php@latest"],
  "shell": {
    "init_hook": [
      "echo 'Welcome to devbox!' > /dev/null"
    ],
    "scripts": {
      "test": [
        "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
      ]
    }
  }
}
