This is probably what most people expect it to do. Fixes #3781. There is a new command 'nix flake lock' that has the old behaviour of 'nix flake update', i.e. it just adds missing lock file entries unless overriden using --update-input.

# Examples
|
|
|
|
* Update the `nixpkgs` and `nix` inputs of the flake in the current
|
|
directory:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs --update-input nix
|
|
* Updated 'nix': 'github:NixOS/nix/9fab14adbc3810d5cc1f88672fde1eee4358405c' -> 'github:NixOS/nix/8927cba62f5afb33b01016d5c4f7f8b7d0adde3c'
|
|
* Updated 'nixpkgs': 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/3d2d8f281a27d466fa54b469b5993f7dde198375' -> 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs/a3a3dda3bacf61e8a39258a0ed9c924eeca8e293'

# Description
|
|
|
|
This command updates the lock file of a flake (`flake.lock`) so that
|
|
it contains a lock for every flake input specified in
|
|
`flake.nix`. Existing lock file entries are not updated unless
|
|
required by a flag such as `--update-input`.
|
|
|
|
Note that every command that operates on a flake will also update the
|
|
lock file if needed, and supports the same flags. Therefore,
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs
|
|
# nix build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix build --update-input nixpkgs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Thus, this command is only useful if you want to update the lock file
|
|
separately from any other action such as building.
