Hi,
(I hope this is the right place for this question)
I'm on a newly installed Guix machine, and have done the following:
guix pull
guix install gwl
guix workflow
The output of the last is:
guix: workflow: command not found
Try `guix --help' for more information
As far as I can see from the gwl installation instructions [1], this
should work out of the box. However, from inside guix repl I also cannot
load the (guix scripts workflow) module, so I assume that perhaps the
GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH variable is set incorrectly, even if it says it
shouldn't be necessary to set it manually when on a guix system (I don't
really know what to set it to, however ...).
But I'm relatively new to both guix and guile, so I may have also just
missed something obvious. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!

Hi stuebinm,

I’m not sure! :)
This list is fine, but we also have a dedicated GWL list:

I’m sorry about this! The documentation really is not clear
enough here. Annoyingly, you currently do need to set
GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH manually. The reason for that is that Guix
doesn’t yet do this automatically when using “guix pull”.
There is also a reason why the documentation is so vague: we
hadn’t really come to consensus about the exact behavior of
GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH. I intended to update the documentation once
we had this figured out.
For now, I suggest you set it like this:
export
GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH=$GUIX_PROFILE/share/guix/extensions/
where GUIX_PROFILE is the name of the profile directory where you
installed the “gwl” package (in your case that’s likely just
“$HOME/.guix-profile”).
~~~
I should also note that there are a couple of known bugs in the
GWL at this point, and I’m working on adding a DRMAA backend to
submit workflow jobs to an HPC cluster. There is no date for a
new release yet, but I guess that in a few more weeks we will have
accumulated enough fixes and features to announce a new release.
If you have a particular use-case in mind, I’d be very happy if
you could tell us about it on gwl-devel, so that we can make sure
the GWL grows in a direction that is beneficial for you.
