Access Neovim configuration from the dev shell?

[gueyenono]

First of all, thank you very much for such a great project, which is so helpful for noobs in the Nix ecosystem like me.

My question seems simple, but I'm not sure. What should I do to be able to access my neovim config from nix develop? Currently, neovim is not accessible from the dev shell.

Thank you

EDIT: I know that I can nix build then enter the dev shell with nix develop .#default and finally access Neovim with ./result/bin/nvim but I would like to know if something can be done from the configuration to directly access Neovim with a simple nvim in the dev shell.

Thanks for asking. I faced the same issue. I'm new to nix (using for 2 months). After entering the dev shell using nix develop, I can't access neovim. Yet, in the flake, a default dev shell has been defined. Am I missing something?

Hey 👋

You can add pkgs.nvim-pkg to the devShell's buildInputs.

Thank you for this solution. Actually, I had to repeat all the packages from the overlay in ./nix/neovim-overlay.nix inside the shell in ./flake.nix. I think this will eliminate the need to do so.
