Ah, I thought it was expected. :-)  Well, my ~/.guile looks like:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(use-modules
 (ice-9 readline)
 (ice-9 format)
 (ice-9 pretty-print)

 (guix)
 (gnu packages)
 (gnu packages base))
(activate-readline)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

so it avoids me this kind of annoyance.

Well, do we open another ticket or just retitle this one?


Cheers,
simon

This command is running ‘guix describe’ with the ‘guix’ command that
happens to be in $PATH; in addition, the ‘shell’ bit does nothing, as
shown by the warning above.

What you probably meant is:

  guix time-machine -C channels.scm -- describe

btw, "shell" behaves similarly - only sees the "system" channel:

$ guix time-machine --channels=channels.scm -- shell -- guix describe
guix shell: warning: no packages specified; creating an empty

can this also be considered a bug? if so, is it worth sending a separate
bug report?

Currently you have to start with:

  (use-modules (gnu packages))

This will set up ‘%load-path’ so that channel modules become visible.
Let me know if it works for you!

This is a bug we should fix.

HTH,
