Tested it (by running yarn dev in native directory) and it works nice, but it would be better if we could just run nix develop instead of nix develop --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes. Assigning @jimpo as a blocking reviewer as he had some questions

but it would be better if we could just run nix develop instead of nix develop --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes

Maybe a crude approach, but we could add something like yarn nix-dev to package.json as an alias for nix develop --extra-experimental-features nix-command --extra-experimental-features flakes?

You just need to put "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" in your nix.conf, which should be documented somewhere. Or, put NIX_CONFIG in the envrc.

Last question here is whether we're OK merging this without documentation, or whether I'm just missing where the documentation is? Probably a question for @ashoat.

Nvm, I'm going to commandeer that diff

Remove nix's flow, fix NixOS support

Nix's flow is more up-to-date, and will likely cause
work to bump flow version each time nix sees an update

You just need to put "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" in your nix.conf, which should be documented somewhere. Or, put NIX_CONFIG in the envrc.

This is documented in https://phabricator.ashoat.com/D2921

iOS and Android scenarios are not yet taken care of, as they are quite a bit more complex than the yarn workflows.

.envrc
1	Is this a directive to the reader, or a description of what happens?
1–11	What's this file? What's the format... it looks like bash, but I'm not really sure?
2	Is `watch_file` a bash command?
11	Is this `\|\|` saying "if the stuff in the `{ }` block fails, only then should we run `use nix`"?
docs/dev_environment.md
5	It appears that you've made the same edit in two diffs. These diffs should be in a stack (ie. in the same branch), and so it should impossible for this to happen. It seems pretty clear that these two diffs are not in the same branch. You also haven't specified any dependency between the two

This revision now requires review to proceed.Apr 8 2022, 8:20 AM

Setting @varun as a blocking reviewer because he's taking the lead on reviewing Nix stuff and I think we should have at least one full-time person who understands the nuances of the Haskell-like syntax that .nix files use. I'm having a hard time reading through / grokking these files and think it's important that at least one reviewer here is able to understand what is being written

sorry, just a few more q's -- i think this is really close

flake.nix
29 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	still unclear what the parentheses around `legacyPackages` means. can you clarify?
33–34 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	From the NixOS wiki: Default overlay, consumed by other flakes `overlay = final: prev: { };` Same idea as overlay but a list or attrset of them. `overlays = {};` Can you clarify why we need both `overlays` and `overlay`? Didn't really understand that. Also can we not just inherit `overlays` from the outer scope?
nix/dev-shell.nix
11 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	why is this a recursive set?

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Apr 27 2022, 10:17 AM

• jon added inline comments.Apr 27 2022, 10:44 AM

flake.nix
29 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	This is syntax sugar for `devShell = legacyPackages.devShell`. It can be extended to pull out many packages as well. E.g. `inherit (legacyPackages) devShell tunnelbroker;`
33–34 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	We don't need to expose overlays yet as we only have one, this is more or less about completeness. I can remove if it's confusing, but in the future we may want to expose more than one overlay (or more likely, another overlay which we might use).
nix/dev-shell.nix
11 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	Most likely muscle memory, this doesn't need it. However, I did prune this a bit for this diff, and may have required rec before the changes and I forgot to remove the rec. From an implications standpoint, this shouldn't really affect much, generally recursive sets are a little slower (~1.5x slower) to evaluate, but shouldn't be noticeable as this attr set is quite small

29 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	got it, thanks for explaining
33–34 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	I think it's fine to keep it. Thanks for explaining
nix/dev-shell.nix
11 ↗	(On Diff #11672)	i think we should remove it since none of the attributes refer to one another. what do you think?

@jonringer-comm why did you re-request review here? You still need to strip the rec.

The only scenario you should ever use the "Re-request review" feature in is if you want to send the diff back to your reviewers' queue without any changes
