make_launcher {rix} | R Documentation |
Create a startup script to launch an editor inside of a Nix shell
Description
Create a startup script to launch an editor inside of a Nix shell
Usage
make_launcher(editor, project_path)
Arguments
editor |
Character, the command to launch the editor. See the "Details" section below for more information. |
project_path |
Character, where to write the launcher, for example "/home/path/to/project". The file will thus be written to the file "/home/path/to/project/start-editor.sh". If the folder does not exist, it will be created. |
Details
This function will write a launcher to start an IDE inside of a
Nix shell. With a launcher, you only need to execute it instead of first
having to drop into the shell using nix-shell
and then type the command
to run the IDE. For security reasons, this script is not executable upon
creation, so you need to make it executable first by running
chmod +x start-editor.sh
(replace editor
with whichever editor you use).
You don’t need this launcher if you use direnv
;
see vignette("e-configuring-ide")
for more details.
Value
Nothing, writes a script.
