Description

Hi! @Xe, I'd like to ask you to update the article since it's pinned on the nix flakes page.

Here is a list of problems which I've encountered while reading the article.

part 1

  1. #519 - flake.nix has a bit different content now
  2. nix develop doesn't enter a shell. There doesn't appear a prefix like [cadey@pneuma:~/tmp/gohello]$
  3. nix develop doesn't work for xess example unless I add it to the outputs like here

part 2

  1. Can't run the web-server via nix run

Research direction

Start with blog/nix-flakes-1-2022-02-21.markdown and blog/nix-flakes-2-2022-02-27.markdown, then reproduce the listed nix develop and nix run examples. Check issue #519 and the linked flake.nix example for the current details. Done means both articles explain working commands and updated flake content for the reported cases.
