Trying to build on NixOS #18

Hello, this project looks amazing.

But sadly, I've been trying to get it to build on NixOS without any success.
I presume you are not using Nix, but maybe you can help me with the Tauri error I am getting:
(pnpm install has been successfully run before this!)
(This is v1.2.3, but I get the same with the latest commit)

I've also attached the flake.nix I am using if that is of any use to you.

Hello, thank you! Glad you like the project.

Unfortunately I don't use NixOS so I'm not able to help troubleshoot this directly. The panic is happening inside the Tauri CLI itself.

I'm not really familiar with NixOS other than hearing about it, but I will test it in the near future. For now, prebuilt AppImage is available if you'd like to give it a try.

Okay no problem. I'll try some more later.
AppImage has more problems on NixOS, so I'll keep trying the build.
Thanks for the fast reply

Closing as upstream, the panic originates in the Tauri CLI. If you find a fix or workaround on the NixOS side, feel free to reopen or post a PR with a flake.
