which: no RunDevServer in (/root/.nix-profile/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/sbin)
Makefile:27: *** IHP not found!.  Stop.
File devenv.nix does not exist. To get started, run:

  $ devenv init
warning: $HOME ('/github/home') is not owned by you, falling back to the one defined in the 'passwd' file ('/root')

<no location info>: error: Can't find Test/Main.hs
*** Exception: ExitFailure 1

Do you think we need a devenv.nix in the repository root?

Do you think we need a devenv.nix in the repository root?

No, it indicates that direnv allow was not executed

[amitaibu]

@AronNovak you are also missing this part https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp-boilerplate/pull/28/files#diff-faff1af3d8ff408964a57b2e475f69a6b7c7b71c9978cccc8f471798caac2c88R25-R30

btw, can an action user other actions? So this whole section could have be replaced.

@amitaibu

So

    # Use the cachix cache for faster builds.
    - name: Cachix Init
      uses: cachix/cachix-action@v12
      with:
        name: digitallyinduced
        skipPush: true

is at:

# Update the package repository sources and install necessary tools
RUN nix-channel --update && \
    nix-env -iA nixpkgs.git nixpkgs.cachix

and

# Use Cachix
RUN cachix use digitallyinduced && \
    cachix use devenv

not?

btw, can an action user other actions?

No, a Docker-based Action is one single Docker build process. What I can do is to rely on a base image, what I did, to rely on FROM nixos/nix:latest, not on an Ubuntu base image, to save time.

We might decide to upload the whole Docker image to Dockerhub, so no need to wait at GH action for the Docker image building.

[AronNovak]

No, it indicates that direnv allow was not executed

Then likely I need to move it from the Dockerfile to the entrypoint, trying it out now.

[AronNovak]

docker run ihp-test --workdir /github/workspace -v "/home/aaron/gizra/ihp-landing-page":"/github/workspace"

I try to speed up the testing process, to avoid to publish a new GH Action every time with a new change, this command can"t simulate yet a GH actions invocation, somehow it does not find /default.nix, maybe workdir is not effective.

[AronNovak]

docker run --workdir /github/workspace -v "/home/aaron/gizra/ihp-landing-page":"/github/workspace" ihp-test

This is the proper command to test-drive locally.

[AronNovak]

I have some progress, but not with ihp-landing-page repo, but the other closed source one, as it lacks tests, if I am not mistaken.

That's where I am now:

[AronNovak]

@amitaibu Do you plan to add tests here? Or does this repo already have some basic ones that I missed?

[amitaibu]

@AronNovak you can copy the test and the package added to flake.nix from https://github.com/amitaibu/ihp-landing-page/pull/20/files
