In [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/99968 #99968], a vscode-fhs and vscodium-fhs package were added in which vscode launches inside of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard FHS] compliant chroot environment using buildFHSUserEnv. This reintroduces directories such as /bin, /lib/, and /usr, which allows for extensions which ship pre-compiled binaries to work with little to no additional nixification. | |||
{{note| From a philosophical view, use of buildFHSUserEnv allows for ease-of-use at the cost of some impurity and non-reproducibility. If you prioritize purely-declarative configurations, please stay with the above guidance.}} | |||
Example usage: | |||
<syntaxHighlight lang=console> | |||
$ nix-shell -p vscode-fhs --run code | |||
</syntaxHighlight> | |||
Home-manager: | |||
<syntaxHighlight lang=nix> | |||
programs.vscode.enable = true; | |||
programs.vscode.package = pkgs.vscode-fhs; | |||
</syntaxHighlight> | |||
Adding extension-specific dependencies, these will be added to the FHS environment: | |||
<syntaxHighlight lang=nix> | |||
# needed for rust lang server extension | |||
programs.vscode.package = pkgs.vscode-fhsWithPackages (ps: with ps; [ rustup zlib ]); | |||
</syntaxHighlight> | |||
