[Feature]: Command for reloading current environment about nix-env-selector HOT 7 CLOSED

@jul1u5 I think It's a pretty useful feature. Sad, but I have a lack of time near time. If you can help with the contribution it will be awesome 🙂

I would be happy to contribute :) Last time you mentioned that you are rewriting the codebase in PureScript, I see that the PS branch has not been merged yet. Should I just make changes to the TypeScript version?

from nix-env-selector.

Yes, you can contribute to the typescript version as well 🙂
It will better to make the extension more user-friendly for now.

@jul1u5 thinking about this issue. Reload environment after selecting a new one when buttons "Reload" appears doing the same that build-it "Reload window" command. Sad but we aren't able to do environment changes without reloading window. Is this feature still useful for you?

from nix-env-selector.

Yeah, I was thinking of implementing this feature, just didn't have much time recently.

I think this is useful as it provides a quicker shortcut for rebuilding the environment. Instead of running Select Environment command and then choosing your nix config, you would only need to run Rebuild Environment.

Perhaps the command should be better named Rebuild Environment as it should only rebuild and then the user would reload the window.

Also, not really related to this issue, but I was wondering if it would be feasible to watch nix config file for changes, rebuild the environment and then prompt the user to reload the window. But I guess that's very similar to what lorri does, so maybe we could integrate it somehow? What do you think?

I got your approach and I like that way 👍

@jul1u5 added command "Hit environment" in v1.0.4
