bump: :tools direnv
purcell/envrc@7f36664fc6 -> purcell/envrc@1954e8c0b5

Upstream introduced a new envrc-direnv-executable variable, which we'll
now use.

* modules/tools/direnv/config.el (+direnv--fail-gracefully-a): use new
  envrc-direnv-executable, and abort envrc-global-mode once, at startup,
  rather than every time envrc-mode is activated.

:tools direnv

Description   unfold

This module integrates direnv into Emacs.

📌 direnv is an environment switcher for the shell. It knows how to hook into bash, zsh, tcsh, fish shell and elvish to load or unload environment variables depending on the current directory. This allows project-specific environment variables without cluttering the ~/.profile file.

Before each prompt, direnv checks for the existence of a ".envrc" file in the current and parent directories. If the file exists (and is authorized), it is loaded into a bash sub-shell and all exported variables are then captured by direnv and then made available to the current shell.

Module flags

This module has no flags.

Hacks

  • envrc-mode has been modified to fail gracefully if direnv isn't available.
  • envrc-global-mode has been modified to activate envrc-mode sooner in the major mode activation process, so that any env state performed in mode hooks aren't overwritten by direnv.
  • Added direnv support for Org src blocks.

Installation

Enable this module in your doom! block.

This module requires direnv.

Or $ nix-env -i direnv

TODO Usage

🔨 This module's usage documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

To make use of direnv you need a .envrc file in a directory. Any time you open a file or buffer in said directory, the doom-package:envrc Emacs package will kick in, activate the local env, and inject it into Emacs for the current buffer.

TODO Configuration

🔨 This module has no configuration documentation yet. Write some?

Troubleshooting

Report an issue?

direnv + nix is slow

Consider augmenting direnv with lorri, which will cache nix builds and speed up direnv tremendously:

services.lorri.enable = true;
