From 4494f9097f7959b2f7e63decf04a5bd592018836 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Bereknyei Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2023 17:03:31 -0400 Subject: feat: notation to refer to no attribute search prefix An attrPath prefix of "." indicates no need to try default attrPath prefixes. For example `nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR` searches through ``` trying flake output attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR' using cached attrset attribute '' trying flake output attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR' using cached attrset attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux' trying flake output attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR' using cached attrset attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux' ``` And there is no way to specify that one does not want the automatic search behavior. Now one can specify `nixpkgs#.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR` to only refer to the rooted attribute path without any default injection of attribute search path or system.
