Description
Hello,
Great project!
I have simple question I have a shells/custom/default.nix where:
{
lib,
pkgs,
namespace, # if I remove this because unused, the `args` do not contain it anymore?
...
}@args:
let
toolchains = import ../toolchain.nix args; # args is not the full attrset?
in
{
...
}
I am unsure why I need to name all keys in args in the function arguments, when I want to forward to my function toolchain.nix.
If I remove namespace in {...}@args the below import does not work anymore? Why is that?
