devenv 0.2

Nov 14, 2022

Domen Kožar

After an intense weekend and lots of incoming contributions, v0.2 is out!

Highlights

• All the devenv.nix options you can define now come as an input (instead of being packaged with each devenv release). To update the options you can run devenv update and it will match devenv.nix reference.

• New devenv search command:

$ devenv search ncduname         version  descriptionpkgs.ncdu    2.1.2    Disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interfacepkgs.ncdu_1  1.17     Disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interfacepkgs.ncdu_2  2.1.2    Disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface
Found 3 results.

Terminal window

• shyim contributed Redis support and is working on MySQL.

• Languages: raymens contributed dotnet, ankhers contributed Elixir and Erlang support.

• If devenv.local.nix exists it’s now also loaded, allowing you to override git committed devenv.nix with local changes. Hurrah composability!

Bug fixes

• Variables like env.DEVENV_ROOT, env.DEVENV_STATE and env.DEVENV_DOTFILE are now absolute paths paths
• shyim fixed /dev/stderr that is in some environments not available.
• domen fixed shell exiting on non-zero exit status code.
