Can't properly set LOCALE_ARCHIVE #378
Description
Describe the bug
On my system, I have de_AT.UTF-8 set as my locale. Whenever I start a devshell, I get the following warnings:
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8): No such file or directory
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8): No such file or directory
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_COLLATE: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8): No such file or directory
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8): No such file or directory
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8): No such file or directory
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_COLLATE: cannot change locale (de_AT.UTF-8): No such file or directory
To get rid of these warnings, I need to set LOCALE_ARCHIVE to "${pkgs.glibcLocales}/lib/locale/locale-archive".
This works just fine in pkgs.mkShell using:
LOCALE_ARCHIVE = lib.optionalString pkgs.stdenv.isLinux "${pkgs.glibcLocales}/lib/locale/locale-archive";
Unfortunately, when trying to do the same in devshell.mkShell using env:
env = [
{
name = "NIX_PYTHONPATH";
value = "${librelane-env-sitepackages}";
}
]
++ lib.optionals stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux [{
name = "LOCALE_ARCHIVE";
value = "${glibcLocales}/lib/locale/locale-archive";
}]
I still get these warnings, even though LOCALE_ARCHIVE has been set correctly:
$ echo $LOCALE_ARCHIVE
/nix/store/hjlkypp9lpxwzsjycpy7nqg2mnl7qhzv-glibc-locales-2.40-66/lib/locale/locale-archive
The reason is that LOCALE_ARCHIVE is set too late, after which the warnings have already been printed.
When I export LOCALE_ARCHIVE to the correct path before invoking the devshell, the warnings are resolved.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Set your locale to de_AT.UTF-8.
Expected behavior
No warnings should be printed.
