Subject: bug#53658: guix shell cache not working properly
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2022 13:34:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87zgnc56ut.fsf@kitej> (raw)

Hi,

With Guix at e217174b7b9046658ac3474d522bde192e9cffb4I have an issue
with the "guix shell -p ..." command, where I end up in a environment
for a profile I used previously instead of the profile specified in the
command line.

I can reproduce the issue this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# Clear the profile cache
rm ${HOME}/.cache/guix/profiles/*

# Make some profiles
mkdir a
echo "(specifications->manifest '(\"gforth\"))" > a/manifest.scm
guix package -m a/manifest.scm -p a/profile
mkdir b
echo "(specifications->manifest '(\"smalltalk\"))" > b/manifest.scm
guix package -m b/manifest.scm -p b/profile

# The first attempt at using a profile when the cache is empty fails
guix shell -q -p a/profile -- gforth

# Then using the first profile with the same command works

bye

# Using the second profile doesn't work
guix shell -q -p b/profile -- gst
> guix shell: erreur : gst : commande introuvable
> conseil : Vouliez-vous dire « gforth » ?

# But the second profile really has the gst program
ls b/profile/bin

# In fact, using the second profile creates an environment for
# the first profile
guix shell -q -p b/profile -- gforth

# And the profile cache only contains a link for the first profile instead
# of links for both profiles
ls ${HOME}/.cache/guix/profiles/
