You can also create an issue first if the feature is more complex so we can discuss possible implementations. diff --git a/command-not-found.sh b/command-not-found.sh index 5f30bad..d894809 100755 --- a/command-not-found.sh +++ b/command-not-found.sh @@ -24,6 +24,9 @@ command_not_found_handle () { >&2 echo "$cmd: command not found" ;; 1) + >&2 cat <&2 cat <&2 cat <&2 cat <&2 cat <&2 cat <&2 cat <&2 echo " nix profile install $toplevel#$attr" - else - >&2 echo " nix-env -iA $toplevel.$attr" - fi - done <<< "$attrs" - + # ensure we get each element of attrs in a cross platform way + if [ -n "$__HM_SESS_VARS_SOURCED" ]; then + >&2 cat <&2 echo " home.packages = with pkgs; [ ${attr%.out} ];" + done <<< "$attrs" + echo \n + fi + if [ -e "/etc/NIXOS" ]; then + >&2 cat <&2 echo " environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ ${attr%.out} ];" + done <<< "$attrs" + echo \n + fi >&2 cat <&2 echo " nix shell $toplevel#$attr -c $cmd ..." + >&2 echo " nix shell $toplevel#${attr%.out} -c $cmd" else - >&2 echo " nix-shell -p $attr --run '$cmd ...'" + >&2 echo " nix-shell -p ${attr%.out} --run '$cmd'" fi done <<< "$attrs" + if [ -e "$HOME/.nix-profile/manifest.json" ]; then + >&2 cat <&2 echo " nix profile install $toplevel#${attr%.out}" + done <<< "$attrs" + echo "\n" + fi ;; esac
