# 在 NixOS 上进行开发工作
由于 NixOS 自身可复现的特性,它非常适合用于搭建开发环境。
但是如果你想直接将在其他发行版上的环境搭建经验用在 NixOS 上,可能会遇到许多问题,因为 NixOS 有自己的一套逻辑在,下面我们先对此稍作说明。
在 NixOS 上,全局环境中只建议安装一些通用的工具,比如 `git`、`vim`、`emacs`、`tmux`、`zsh` 等等,而各语言的开发环境,最好是每个项目都有一个独立的环境。
为了简便,你也可以考虑提前为常用语言创建一些通用的开发环境,在需要时切换进去。
总而言之NixOS 上的开发环境不应该装在全局,应该是一个个独立的项目环境,或许还带有一些通用的语言环境,但是它们都是完全隔离的,不会相互影响。
在本章中我们先学习一下 Nix Flakes 开发环境的实现原理,后面的章节再按使用场景介绍一些更具体的内容。
## 创建与使用开发环境
在 Nix Flakes 中,我们可以通过 `pkgs.mkShell { ... }` 来定义一个项目环境,通过 `nix develop` 来打开一个该开发环境的交互式 Bash Shell.
为了更好的使用上述两个功能,我们先来看看它们的原理。
[`pkgs.mkShell` 的源码](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/mkshell/default.nix)如下:
```nix
{ lib, stdenv, buildEnv }:
# A special kind of derivation that is only meant to be consumed by the
# nix-shell.
{ name ? "nix-shell"
, # a list of packages to add to the shell environment
packages ? [ ]
, # propagate all the inputs from the given derivations
inputsFrom ? [ ]
, buildInputs ? [ ]
, nativeBuildInputs ? [ ]
, propagatedBuildInputs ? [ ]
, propagatedNativeBuildInputs ? [ ]
, ...
}@attrs:
let
mergeInputs = name:
(attrs.${name} or [ ]) ++
(lib.subtractLists inputsFrom (lib.flatten (lib.catAttrs name inputsFrom)));
rest = builtins.removeAttrs attrs [
"name"
"packages"
"inputsFrom"
"buildInputs"
"nativeBuildInputs"
"propagatedBuildInputs"
"propagatedNativeBuildInputs"
"shellHook"
];
in
stdenv.mkDerivation ({
inherit name;
buildInputs = mergeInputs "buildInputs";
nativeBuildInputs = packages ++ (mergeInputs "nativeBuildInputs");
propagatedBuildInputs = mergeInputs "propagatedBuildInputs";
propagatedNativeBuildInputs = mergeInputs "propagatedNativeBuildInputs";
shellHook = lib.concatStringsSep "\n" (lib.catAttrs "shellHook"
(lib.reverseList inputsFrom ++ [ attrs ]));
phases = [ "buildPhase" ];
# ......
# when distributed building is enabled, prefer to build locally
preferLocalBuild = true;
} // rest)
```
可以看到 `pkgs.mkShell { ... }` 本质上就是一个特殊的 DerivationNix 包),它的 `name` `buildInputs` 等参数都是可自定义的,而 `shellHook` 则是一个特殊的参数,它会在 `nix develop` 进入该环境时被执行。
如下是一份 `flake.nix` 文件,它定义了一个 nodejs 18 的开发环境:
```nix
{
description = "A Nix-flake-based Node.js development environment";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-23.05";
};
outputs = { self , nixpkgs ,... }: let
# system should match the system you are running on
# system = "x86_64-linux";
system = "x86_64-darwin";
in {
devShells."${system}".default = let
pkgs = import nixpkgs {
inherit system;
overlays = [
(self: super: rec {
nodejs = super.nodejs-18_x;
pnpm = super.nodePackages.pnpm;
yarn = (super.yarn.override { inherit nodejs; });
})
];
};
in pkgs.mkShell {
# create an environment with nodejs-18_x, pnpm, and yarn
packages = with pkgs; [
node2nix
nodejs
pnpm
yarn
];
shellHook = ''
echo "node `${pkgs.nodejs}/bin/node --version`"
'';
};
};
}
```
建个空文件夹,将上面的配置保存为 `flake.nix`,然后执行 `nix develop`(或者更精确点,可以用 `nix develop .#default`),你会发现你已经进入了一个 nodejs 18 的开发环境,可以使用 `node` `npm` `pnpm` `yarn` 等命令了。而且刚进入时,`shellHook` 也被执行了,输出了当前 nodejs 的版本。
## 进入任何 Nix 包的构建环境
现在再来看看 `nix develop`,先读下 `nix develop --help` 输出的帮助文档:
```
Name
nix develop - run a bash shell that provides the build environment of a derivation
Synopsis
nix develop [option...] installable
# ......
```
可以看到 `nix develop` 接受的参数是 `installable`,这说明我们可以通过它进入任何一个 installable 的 Nix 包的开发环境,而不仅仅是 `pkgs.mkShell` 创建的环境。
默认情况下,`nix develop` 命令会尝试 flake outputs 中的如下属性:
- `devShells.<system>.default`
- `packages.<system>.default`
而如果我们通过 `nix develop /path/to/flake#<name>` 来指定了 flake 包地址以及 flake output name那么 `nix develop` 命令会尝试 flake outputs 中的如下属性:
- `devShells.<system>.<name>`
- `packages.<system>.<name>`
- `legacyPackages.<system>.<name>`
现在来尝试一下,首先测试下,确认我当前环境中没有 `c++` `g++` 这这些编译相关的命令:
```shell
ryan in 🌐 aquamarine in ~
c++
c++: command not found
ryan in 🌐 aquamarine in ~
g++
g++: command not found
```
现在通过 `nix develop` 进入到 `hello` 的构建环境,然后再次测试下:
```shell
# login to the build environment of the package `hello`
ryan in 🌐 aquamarine in ~
nix develop nixpkgs#hello
ryan in 🌐 aquamarine in ~ via ❄️ impure (hello-2.12.1-env)
env | grep CXX
CXX=g++
ryan in 🌐 aquamarine in ~ via ❄️ impure (hello-2.12.1-env)
c++ --version
g++ (GCC) 12.3.0
Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Copyright (C) 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
```
可以看到 `CXX` `CXXCPP` 环境变量已经被设置好了,而且 `c++` `g++` 等命令也可以正常使用了。
此外我们还可以正常调用 `hello` 这个 Nix 包的各构建阶段命令:
> 提前说明下,一个 Nix 包的所有构建阶段及其默认的执行顺序为:`$prePhases unpackPhase patchPhase $preConfigurePhases configurePhase $preBuildPhases buildPhase checkPhase $preInstallPhases installPhase fixupPhase installCheckPhase $preDistPhases distPhase $postPhases`
```shell

```
这种用法的主要应用场景是调试某个 Nix 包的构建过程,或者在某个 Nix 包的构建环境中执行一些命令。
## `nix build`
`nix build` 用于构建一个软件包,并在当前目录下创建一个名为 `result` 的符号链接,链接到该构建结果。
一个示例:
```bash
# 构建 `nixpkgs` flake 中的 `ponysay` 这个包
nix build "nixpkgs#ponysay"
# 使用构建出来的 ponysay 命令
./result/bin/ponysay 'hey buddy!'
____________
< hey buddy! >
