I last flashed my flake.lock in June, so I might be out of date, but my rigs can’t reliably include the line number in my code that led to the duck-typing fiasco deep in the core of someLanguage.withPackages.fuck.WTF.this.

Fix the fucking “—show-trace” thing folks. Seriously.

Out of all cases when I used --show-trace, I can remember it being useful only once or twice. I gave up and just sprinkled builtins.trace.

IIRC debugger comes with nix 2.9 and nixpkgs for 22.05 still has 2.8.x.

I was excited to see the debugger flag to nix build the other day, since I'm really struggling cross-compiling an RPi on BTRFS root sd image.

Of course running with the debugger flag resulted in an unintelligible error message and no debugger.

Any link to documentation on how to use it? Would be a godsend for me
