nix-eshell doesn't play well with flake.nix

[SohamG]

Title

I have a flake.nix at the root of my project that defines a devShell. From reading the source for nix-eshell, its trying to nix-instantiate the file its given, and I don't think that works well with flakes.

Am I missing an obvious solution?

yep it still needs devShell support, for now it just nix-shells. Something I would like to see as well.

if someone has a problem running devShells in eshell, I highly recommend trying the eshell integration from https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat, worked perfectly for me
