I'm building a few ruby and node projects with nix. It works well enough, but
nix does too many rebuilds, also when nothing changed. The question is: how I
can figure out why it does a rebuild? Maybe some checksum has changed, but can
I somehow figure out which one?
I suspect that at a bare minimum the ./result symlink has changed.
What I tend to do is use builtins.filterSource in order to ensure I am
only including paths that I need.
You can see an example at
https://github.com/kevincox/sog/blob/master/default.nix
src = builtins.filterSource (name: type:
(lib.hasPrefix (toString ./BUILD) name) ||
(lib.hasPrefix (toString ./sog) name) ||
(lib.hasPrefix (toString ./test) name) ||
(lib.hasPrefix (toString ./tools) name) ||
(lib.hasPrefix (toString ./WORKSPACE) name)) ./.;
