Subject: Transform options should error on nonexistant targets
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2021 03:57:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a8lGFqSNuIjUPuCsWFNQXyz-l1c-dQ0OZ3nsY79OmmKirBZSSnFhRUEE8VWJRPme4Lln04UzDf4SIeBpBZsM3RqFLoG9pO25Xx_eha7B42c=@protonmail.com> (raw)

I learned today that Guix will chug happily along applying a transform to a nonexistent package.

For example, I can run:
guix environment --with-latest=not-exist --ad-hoc which

This shows no warning or errors. I think it would be beneficial to show an error & bail if the target of a transformation is a package that doesn't exist, as this is likely indicative of an error.

What do you think?
