6923 :: Nimble path and local packages list

• Clonk (orginal) [2020-10-14T18:14:18+02:00] view original

  Hi,

  I'm trying to add packages to nimble.

  According to the`readme <https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#nimble-path>`_ , having a config file located in /home/user/.config/nimble/nimble.ini such as :

  
  [PackageList]
  name=LocalPackages
  path=/home/user/packages.json
  Run

  should allow nimble to see the packages defined in /home/user/packages.json.

  But when I try to nimble install localpackage, it fails and nimble tells it tried to read /home/user/.nimble/packages_localpackges.json instead of /home/user/packages.json.

  Did I miss something or am I doing something wrong ? Or is this a nimble bug / documentation problem ?

  Thanks !

  Nimble caches the package list locally in $nimbleDir. That's why you see /home/user/.nimble/packages_localpackges.json. See here. You can verify that this file is a copy of the original you provided.

  Is localpackage defined in your packages.json?
