Does define-command automatically add the subcommand to the guix CLI?

Does define-command automatically add the subcommand to the guix CLI?

[jgart]

hi,

Does define-command automagically add the subcommand to the guix CLI?

For example, guix-format:

No, you need to set GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH.

You don't need to anymore, because of commit bbc1735, no?

hi paren,

Does bbc1735 work on foreign distros also or ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?

I think so. What you need to do is package up your extension, and make sure
it installs the extension code to #$output/share/guix/extensions. When it's
installed that directory should be added to GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH automatically.

There's no examples currently in the code base of an extension like
that, right?

But I get what you're sayin

Assuming the extension is installed, no?  If the extension is a package
and installed as such, indeed.  Otherwise, GUIX_EXTENSIONS_PATH.  From
my understanding.

Well, see guix-modules.  I did an attempt for a simple “hello world“
example with patch#58339 [1].  Maybe I will resume it if my motivation
is back…
