Feature/crq 016 nixify 2025 10 06 #1
Conversation
- Configured `lint-staged` in `package.json` to run `statix check` on `.nix` files as part of the pre-commit hook. - Updated `flake.nix` to include `pkgs.statix` in the `devShell` to make `statix` available in the development environment. - Created `scripts/test-pre-commit-nix-statix.sh`, a test driver script that verifies `statix check` functionality by testing against malformed and correctly formatted Nix files within a simulated Nix environment. - Corrected the `.husky/pre-commit` script to ensure the pre-commit checks run within the Nix development shell.
- Introduced a `lint-nix` target in `Makefile.nix` to execute `statix check .` within the Nix development shell, enabling linting of all Nix files in the project. - Integrated the `lint-nix` target into the main `Makefile` and its `help` output for easy access and discoverability.

74-79: Consider making include directory count configurable.The hardcoded limit of 5 include directories (INCLUDE_DIR_0 through INCLUDE_DIR_4) may be insufficient for some use cases. Consider documenting this limitation or implementing a more flexible approach if users frequently need more directories.
nix/shell.nix (1)
1-4: Consider pinning Node.js version for reproducibility.The shell uses
nodejs_latest, which will track the latest Node.js version in nixpkgs. This can lead to different versions across systems and over time, reducing reproducibility—a core Nix principle.Consider pinning to a specific Node.js version that matches your system requirements (README.md specifies Node.js 20+):
{ pkgs }: pkgs.mkShell { - buildInputs = [ pkgs.nodejs_latest pkgs.which pkgs.git ]; + buildInputs = [ pkgs.nodejs_20 pkgs.which pkgs.git ]; }Alternatively, if you prefer to track the latest stable version explicitly:
{ pkgs }: pkgs.mkShell { - buildInputs = [ pkgs.nodejs_latest pkgs.which pkgs.git ]; + buildInputs = [ pkgs.nodejs pkgs.which pkgs.git ]; }Where
pkgs.nodejsis the current stable version maintained by nixpkgs.test_node2nix_failure.nix (1)

94-97: Duplicate app definitions.Both
defaultandgeminiapps point to the same program. This duplication is unnecessary unless you plan to add different apps later.Consider simplifying to:
apps.default = { type = "app"; program = "${gemini-cli}/bin/gemini"; };Or if you want both names for discoverability, you can use attribute inheritance:
apps = { default = { type = "app"; program = "${gemini-cli}/bin/gemini"; }; gemini = apps.default; };

Remove temporary lockfile artifact.

Remove backup file from version control.
Backup files (.bak extension) should not be committed to the repository, as they create confusion about which configuration is authoritative and clutter version history.
If this represents the desired .gitignore content, rename it:
mv .gitignore.bak .gitignoreOtherwise, remove it entirely:
rm .gitignore.bakVerify the actual .gitignore file is present and properly configured:
#!/bin/bash
# Check for .gitignore file
if [ -f .gitignore ]; then
echo "✓ .gitignore exists"
echo "Content preview:"
head -20 .gitignore
else
echo "✗ .gitignore not found"
fi
# Check if both files exist (which would be confusing)
if [ -f .gitignore ] && [ -f .gitignore.bak ]; then
echo "⚠ Both .gitignore and .gitignore.bak exist"
echo "Differences:"

In .gitignore.bak (lines 1-55): this file is a backup and should not be
committed; either rename it to .gitignore if it is the intended canonical ignore
file or delete .gitignore.bak from the repository and commit that removal. After
doing so, ensure there is a single .gitignore with the desired content in the
repo (if you renamed, stage and commit the new .gitignore; if you deleted,
verify .gitignore exists and is correct), and remove the backup from version
control so it no longer shows up in commits or diffs.

Allow Git’s lock file alongside .gitconfig.
Git writes via ~/.gitconfig.lock before renaming back to ~/.gitconfig. Because the policy only whitelists ~/.gitconfig, any command that updates global git config (including tooling invoked by this project) will fail with Operation not permitted. Please add the lockfile path (e.g. another (subpath (string-append (param "HOME_DIR") "/.gitconfig.lock"))) and mirror the fix across the other sandbox profiles introduced here.

Mirror the .gitconfig.lock allowance here.
This profile shares the same write allow-list as the closed variant, so it will hit the same git failure path. Please add the lockfile allowance here once you update the other profiles.

🧩 Analysis chain
Update Nix installation command to reference the official repository.
The Nix installation command points to github:meta-introspector/gemini-cli?ref=feature/working-gemini-cli-nix-store, which references:
- A different GitHub organization (
meta-introspectorinstead ofgoogle-gemini) - A feature branch instead of a stable reference
This will confuse users and prevent them from installing the official version. Once this PR merges to main, the command should reference the canonical repository.
Apply this diff to use the official repository:
-nix profile install github:meta-introspector/gemini-cli?ref=feature/working-gemini-cli-nix-store
+nix profile install github:google-gemini/gemini-cliIf Nix support is not yet ready on main, consider:
- Moving this documentation to a separate branch-specific README until the feature is stable
- Adding a note that this is experimental and referencing the feature branch explicitly
- Using a more stable reference like a tag once available
Verify that the referenced documentation file exists:

Make file/size probes portable
Calls like stat -c%s / stat -c%A and numfmt --to=iec require GNU coreutils; on macOS they fail outright, so the inspection tool exits before doing any work. Please add a portability shim (e.g., detect the OS and use the BSD stat -f%z / stat -f%Sp, fall back when numfmt is absent) or reuse the python -c/ls alternatives so the script runs on both Linux and macOS.
Also applies to: 81-83

scripts/nix-inspect.sh lines 26-83: the script uses GNU-only utilities (stat
-c*, numfmt --to=iec) which break on macOS; add small portability shims and use
them instead of direct calls. Implement helper functions (e.g., get_size PATH,
get_perms PATH, get_mtime PATH, human_readable SIZE) that: 1) detect and prefer
GNU stat/numfmt when available; 2) fallback to BSD stat flags (stat -f%z, -f%Sp,
-f%Sm) if GNU stat is absent; 3) if numfmt is missing, produce a human-readable
size via a short python -c snippet or simple bash division; and 4) ensure all
calls in the file (lines ~26–83, including the bundle/gemini.js checks at 81–83)
are replaced to call these helpers and handle missing-tool errors gracefully
(print a readable value or "unknown" instead of failing).

Fix non-portable path resolution
readlink -f is GNU-only; on macOS it errors out (illegal option -- f) and the script exits before running any checks. Replace it with a portable pattern such as SCRIPT_DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)" so the test harness works across Linux and macOS.

In scripts/test-pre-commit-nix-statix.sh around lines 5 to 6, the script uses
readlink -f which is GNU-only and fails on macOS; replace that usage with a
POSIX-compatible pattern to resolve the script directory (e.g., change to a

SCRIPT_DIR assignment to use a portable form such as changing the readlink -f

| sh-5.2$ | ||
| To resolve the `nix build` error for `gemini-cli-0.3.4` and vendorize all dependencies, including `libsecret`, using `node2nix` and Nix, we need to ensure that all native dependencies (like `libsecret` for `keytar`) are managed within the Nix environment. This approach avoids relying on Termux’s package manager (`pkg`) and ensures a reproducible build. Below is a comprehensive guide to achieve this. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Overview | ||
| The previous error indicates a `node-gyp` failure when building `keytar`, likely due to missing native dependencies like `libsecret`, `python`, or build tools. Using `node2nix`, we’ll vendorize the Node.js dependencies, and we’ll configure the Nix derivation to include `libsecret` and other required tools from Nixpkgs, avoiding Termux-specific packages. Since you’re running on Termux (Android), we’ll also address potential platform-specific issues. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Steps to Vendorize Dependencies and Use Nix for `libsecret` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 1. **Install `node2nix`** | ||
| Ensure `node2nix` is installed in your Nix environment: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix-env -iA nixpkgs.node2nix | ||
| ``` | ||
| Verify the installation: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| node2nix --version | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 2. **Prepare the `gemini-cli` Source** | ||
| Navigate to the `gemini-cli` source directory: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| cd /data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/pick-up-nix2/vendor/external/gemini-cli | ||
| ``` | ||
| Ensure `package.json` and `package-lock.json` exist. If `package-lock.json` is missing, generate it: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix-shell -p nodejs --run "npm install" | ||
| ``` | ||
| This runs `npm install` in a Nix shell with Node.js, creating `package-lock.json` without relying on Termux’s Node.js. | ||
|
|
||
| #### 3. **Generate Nix Expressions with `node2nix`** | ||
| Run `node2nix` to vendorize the Node.js dependencies: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| node2nix -i package.json -l package-lock.json -o node-packages.nix -c default.nix -e node-env.nix | ||
| ``` | ||
| Since you’re using Node.js 22 (from the error log), specify the Node.js version: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| node2nix --nodejs-22 -i package.json -l package-lock.json | ||
| ``` | ||
| This generates: | ||
| - `node-packages.nix`: Lists all vendored dependencies. | ||
| - `default.nix`: The main build expression. | ||
| - `node-env.nix`: Node.js environment setup. | ||
|
|
||
| #### 4. **Modify the Generated `default.nix`** | ||
| The generated `default.nix` needs to include native dependencies for `keytar` (e.g., `libsecret`, `python3`, `pkg-config`, and build tools). Edit `default.nix` to look like this: | ||
| ```nix | ||
| { pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }: | ||
|
|
||
| let | ||
| nodePackages = import ./node-packages.nix { inherit pkgs; }; | ||
| in | ||
| nodePackages."gemini-cli-0.3.4".override { | ||
| nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [ | ||
| python3 | ||
| pkg-config | ||
| gnumake | ||
| gcc | ||
| ]; | ||
| buildInputs = with pkgs; [ | ||
| libsecret | ||
| ]; | ||
| preBuild = '' | ||
| export HOME=$TMPDIR | ||
| npm config set scripts-prepend-node-path true | ||
| ''; | ||
| postInstall = '' | ||
| mkdir -p $out/bin | ||
| cp node_modules/.bin/gemini $out/bin/gemini || true | ||
| chmod +x $out/bin/gemini | ||
| ''; | ||
| meta = with pkgs.lib; { | ||
| description = "Gemini CLI"; | ||
| license = licenses.mit; # Adjust as needed | ||
| }; | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
| Key changes: | ||
| - **Native Build Inputs**: | ||
| - `python3`: Required by `node-gyp`. | ||
| - `pkg-config`: For locating `libsecret`. | ||
| - `gnumake` and `gcc`: Build tools for native compilation. | ||
| - **Build Inputs**: | ||
| - `libsecret`: Required by `keytar` for keyring access. | ||
| - **Pre-build Setup**: | ||
| - `HOME=$TMPDIR`: Avoids permission issues in the Nix store. | ||
| - `npm config set scripts-prepend-node-path true`: Ensures `node` is found during the build. | ||
| - **Post-install**: | ||
| - Copies the `gemini` binary to `$out/bin`, with `|| true` to avoid failures if the binary is missing (as seen in the previous error). | ||
|
|
||
| #### 5. **Handle `keytar` in `node-packages.nix`** | ||
| The `keytar` dependency requires native compilation, which is likely causing the `node-gyp` error. To ensure it builds correctly: | ||
| - Open `node-packages.nix` and locate the `keytar` entry (it will be under the `nodeDependencies` list). | ||
| - Ensure it’s not skipped. You can add: | ||
| ```nix | ||
| keytar = { | ||
| name = "keytar"; | ||
| version = "<version>"; | ||
| src = fetchurl { | ||
| url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/keytar/-/keytar-<version>.tgz"; | ||
| sha512 = "<hash>"; | ||
| }; | ||
| buildInputs = [ pkgs.libsecret ]; | ||
| nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgs.python3 pkgs.pkg-config pkgs.gnumake pkgs.gcc ]; | ||
| npmFlags = [ "--build-from-source" ]; | ||
| }; | ||
| ``` | ||
| This forces `keytar` to build from source with the necessary dependencies. | ||
|
|
||
| Alternatively, if prebuilt binaries are available and compatible with Android, you can skip the build step: | ||
| ```nix | ||
| dontNpmBuild = true; | ||
| ``` | ||
| However, prebuilt binaries may not exist for Android, so building from source is safer. | ||
|
|
||
| #### 6. **Ensure `libsecret` is Available** | ||
| Instead of relying on Termux’s `pkg install libsecret`, use Nix’s `libsecret` package. The `buildInputs = [ pkgs.libsecret ];` in `default.nix` ensures it’s included. To verify it’s available: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix-shell -p libsecret --run "pkg-config --modversion libsecret-1" | ||
| ``` | ||
| If this fails, ensure your Nix channel is up to date: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix-channel --update | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 7. **Test the Build** | ||
| Run the build using the generated Nix expressions: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix build -f default.nix | ||
| ``` | ||
| If it fails, check the log for details: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix log /nix/store/i76afndbdhp59n6j1m7hfm8svcgcvqbf-gemini-cli-0.3.4.drv | ||
| ``` | ||
| For verbose logging, modify `default.nix` to add `--loglevel=verbose`: | ||
| ```nix | ||
| preBuild = '' | ||
| export HOME=$TMPDIR | ||
| npm config set scripts-prepend-node-path true | ||
| npm install --loglevel=verbose | ||
| ''; | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 8. **Debugging in `nix-shell`** | ||
| If the build fails, debug interactively: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix-shell -f default.nix | ||
| ``` | ||
| Inside the shell, run: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| npm install --build-from-source --loglevel=verbose | ||
| ``` | ||
| Check for specific errors, especially in the `keytar` build. Verify that `libsecret` is found: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| pkg-config --modversion libsecret-1 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 9. **Handle Termux-Specific Issues** | ||
| Since you’re on Termux (Android, Linux 6.1.99-android14), there may be platform-specific challenges: | ||
| - **Filesystem Permissions**: | ||
| Ensure Termux has access to the Nix store and source directory: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| termux-setup-storage | ||
| chmod -R u+w /data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/pick-up-nix2 | ||
| ``` | ||
| - **Nix Store Issues**: | ||
| If the Nix store is immutable or causes errors, try cleaning it: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| nix-store --gc | ||
| ``` | ||
| - **Android-Specific `keytar` Issues**: | ||
| `keytar` may not support Android’s keyring system. If compilation fails, consider patching `gemini-cli` to remove `keytar`: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| sed -i '/keytar/d' package.json | ||
| ``` | ||
| Then regenerate the Nix expressions: | ||
| ```bash | ||
| node2nix --nodejs-22 -i package.json -l package-lock.json | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 10. **Integrate with Your Project** | ||
| If `gemini-cli` is part of a larger Nix project, include the generated `default.nix` in your main `default.nix`: | ||
| ```nix | ||
| { pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }: | ||
|
|
||
| let | ||
| geminiCli = import /data/data/com.termux.nix/files/home/pick-up-nix2/vendor/external/gemini-cli/default.nix { inherit pkgs; }; | ||
| in | ||
| pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation { | ||
| name = "my-project"; | ||
| buildInputs = [ geminiCli ]; | ||
| # ... other project settings | ||
| } | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| #### 11. **If the Issue Persists** | ||
| If the build fails, provide: | ||
| - The full build log (`nix log ...`). | ||
| - The generated `node-packages.nix` and `default.nix`. | ||
| - The `package.json` from `gemini-cli`. | ||
| - Confirmation of whether `keytar` is required or can be removed. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Summary | ||
| - Use `node2nix` to vendorize all Node.js dependencies, including `keytar`. | ||
| - Modify `default.nix` to include `libsecret`, `python3`, `pkg-config`, `gnumake`, and `gcc` from Nixpkgs. | ||
| - Build `keytar` from source or consider removing it if it’s not essential. | ||
| - Debug with `nix-shell` and verbose logging. | ||
| - Address Termux-specific issues by ensuring permissions and updating the Nix channel. | ||
|
|
||
| This approach ensures all dependencies, including `libsecret`, are managed by Nix, avoiding reliance on Termux’s package manager. Let me know if you need help with specific steps, such as editing the Nix files or analyzing the build log! No newline at end of file |

Improve error handling and output redirection.
The current error handling has several issues:
- Output redirection order: Stderr should be redirected before stdout to avoid buffering issues
- Exit code in error message: Using
$?on line 34 is misleading—it will always show1because you're already in the failure branch - No verification of actual failure: This derivation doesn't distinguish between successful and failed node2nix runs
Apply this diff to improve the implementation:
- # Run node2nix and capture stderr and stdout
- if ! node2nix -i package.json -o $out/output/node-packages.nix -c $out/output/default.nix 2> $out/output/stderr.log > $out/output/stdout.log; then
- echo "node2nix failed with exit code $?" >> $out/output/stderr.log
+ # Run node2nix and capture stderr and stdout (redirect stderr first)
+ set +e # Allow command to fail
+ node2nix -i package.json -o $out/output/node-packages.nix -c $out/output/default.nix > $out/output/stdout.log 2> $out/output/stderr.log
+ EXIT_CODE=$?
+ set -e # Re-enable exit on error
+
+ if [ $EXIT_CODE -ne 0 ]; then
+ echo "node2nix failed with exit code $EXIT_CODE" >> $out/output/stderr.log
exit 1
fiThis ensures proper exit code capture and clearer error reporting.

In test_node2nix_failure.nix around lines 33 to 36, the node2nix invocation
mishandles output redirection and exit-code reporting; capture the exit status
immediately after running node2nix by assigning $? to a variable, redirect
stderr before stdout to avoid buffering issues, and only enter the failure
branch when that captured exit code is non-zero; on failure append a clear
message including the captured exit code to stderr.log and ensure stdout and
stderr files are preserved for debugging.
