Re: [Nix-dev] Overriding a node package
This happens when you have dependencies in package.json that are not
supplied by the dependencies passed to buildNodePackage.
The build process involves running npm, which will read the package.json
file and attempt to download and install any missing dependencies. That
introduces an impurity to the nix build, so buildNodePackage runs npm with
--registry example.com, which causes the download to fail with the sort of
error you encountered.
Once you've got a nix expression that properly supplies all the necessary
dependencies, npm will not attempt any downloads and the build will succeed.
Hope this helps,
Colin

Re: [Nix-dev] Overriding a node package
Dependencies will be fetched from "npm repository" - thus is questionable whethere overriding some packages gets the job done at all IMHO. I don't know/care atm. Marc Weber ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] Overriding a node package
But this patch just adds a new package or do I misunderstand something? Overriding the whole package by a completely new one just to override src = not awesome.

This patch is outdated, but illustrates what you're looking for: https://github.com/MarcWeber/nixpkgs/commit/ad6ec783bb61e80f90d6e6ee9e0b2d026982fbbe There is npm2nix utility you have to install.

Hello? Anyone using Node.js with nixpkgs?

[Nix-dev] Overriding a node package
I have a package (`pkgs.keybase-node-client` to be precise) which is
generated by `nodePackages.buildNodePackage`. I want to install it from my
local git repo.
I have no idea how node stuff works in nixpkgs (and not in nixpkgs,
actually), so I tried the obvious thing:
packageOverrides = pkgs_: {
keybase-node-client = lib.overrideDerivation pkgs_.keybase-node-client
(drv: {
src = fetchgit {
url = "/home/kirrun/proj/keybase/node-client";
<...>
};
});
};
but this gives me a super-weird error when I try to install it:
replacing old ‘keybase-node-client-0.7.7’
installing ‘keybase-node-client-0.7.7’
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/qsdsxcvnmn6hxs4kpi2mymmplwjq5kig-keybase-node-client-0.7.7.drv
