Newt and Guix pull failing

Newt and Guix pull failing

[brettg]

Hey all,

I reference the newt module in this file of my channel
https://git.sr.ht/~brettgilio/guix-system/tree/master/guile-modules/gscale/screen.scm

However, when I `guix pull` it fails to build citing that there is no 
code available for that module. I have guile-newt installed system wide, 
and to my local profile manifest, but neither of those fix the issue.

When Guile and Guile-Newt are in the same profile, the GUILE_LOAD_PATH
and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH are automatically set appropriately:

  guix environment -C --ad-hoc guile guile-newt -- guile -c '(use-modules (newt))'
  # success

So it looks like GUILE_LOAD_PATH may be unset or wrong in your case.

Hey Ludo, thank you for taking a moment to look at this. I have guile_load_path set in both a .guile and .bashrc for a few custom path references. https://git.sr.ht/~brettgilio/guix-system/tree/master/dotfiles/.bashrcI will check and see what guile_load_path is returning when I get a chance. Sent from my Sprint Phone.------ Original message------From: Ludovic CourtèsDate: Sun, Apr 21, 2019 7:39 AMTo: brettg@posteo.net;Cc: help-guix;Subject:Re: Newt and Guix pull failingHello,

Hi Ludo,

I had some time to look at this. Here is what echoing $GUILE_LOAD_PATH
returns for me

brettg@guixsd ~/Repos/guix-system/dotfiles [env]$ echo $GUILE_LOAD_PATH
/home/brettg/Repos/guix-system:/home/brettg/Repos/guix-system:/home/brettg/Repos/guix-system:/home/brettg/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.2:/run/current-system/profile/share/guile/site/2.2

Newt is indeed available in
/run/current-system/profile/share/guile/site/2.2 and it is also in my
local /.guix-profile when I add it. But neither case resolves the issue.

Here is the full info for the build failing.

Yes, sorry. I renamed the file so I could update guix without the build 
failing. Here is the file:

Thank you!

It seems that guile says that no code for module newt, but you are
referring to 'newt bindings'.
Something similar happened to me recently, when I had my modules under a
wrong directory
structure. Is it possible that the same thing is happening here?

See this for further information:

Wdyt?

Re: Newt and Guix pull failing

[brettg]

Hey Gabor,

I changed that to see if it would find newt bindings, but it failed that 
way too saying there is no code for module "newt bindings". As I said to 
Ludo, this is regardless of if I install guile-newt to a local profile 
or system-wide. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to find it. I can 
check the paths manually and verify they are indeed there and alive 
which is where my confusion is coming from. GUILE_LOAD_PATH is also 
finding referencing those paths as well.

Re: Newt and Guix pull failing

[brettg]

To additionally qualify the issue. I can manually load newt from the 
guile interpreter just fine. It is only when my channel is getting built 
from guix.

This is happening because modules of your channel depends on Guile-Newt,
and Guile-Newt is missing, so ‘guix pull’ fails to build your channel
modules.

How would ‘guix pull’ know that your channel depends on Guile-Newt?  It
cannot guess it, and currently there’s no way to express such a
dependency.

Does that make sense?

Also note that a channel is meant to provide packages or services, so it
is surprising to have a channel depend on Guile-Newt.

Hi Ludo,

Thank you. That makes sense. I know that a channel is not really
"intended" for this, but I was stretching it to see what I could make it
do as far as a "whole system configuration" that I could pull and
install using just a single repository without submodules.

I believe you are right, this isn't in the realm of possibility for a
channel to be used like this. I wonder there is a way to
get guix to ignore specific files with the .scm extension.

Anyways,

Thank you for your help.

Brett
