Struggling to use the readme - flake.lock: no such file or directory

[percolating-sirsh]

Hi

I just started today trying to follow the readme. I have not used Nix for many years and may well have screwed something up but i followed the advice in the Contributors section and used that installer you recommended.

When i try

nix flake init -t github:xataio/pgzx

At first i get what i think is an understandable error ".envrc is blocked. Run direnv allow to approve its content" -
But when i direnv allow, it seems to get into a weird state where some files are not copied to my source??

direnv: using flake
cat: flake.lock: No such file or directory
cat: flake.lock: No such file or directory
error: path '/nix/store/7sbak9b9lzq1cyp9vwskrrh13n4w14lr-source/TEST/E1/flake.nix' does not exist
cat: flake.lock: No such file or directory

While I realize this could be just because Im not familiar with Nix I'd appreciate any advice in case I dont resolve it after spending more hours.

Best,

Sirsh

p.s. - i think that might have been a git thing. git state was "dirty" although i dont know enough about nix+git to deal with that. i moved to a clean folder outside of any git repo for now and it was fine as a temporary solution and maybe i can figure out how the nix+git stuff should be managed later.

now im getting an error (maybe its a mac/m1 thing)
