[Nix-dev] loading the nix-shell in a jenkins job

[Allan Espinosa]

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the tip.  I couldn't do what you said in Jenkins itself so
I had to wrap nix-shell inside another shell wrapper:

wrapper.sh:
    #!/bin/bash

    cat $1 | exec nix-shell

Then i had my Jenkins job as follows:
    #!/path/to/wrapper.sh
    #!nix-shell -i bash

    jupyter --version

Hope somebody else finds this useful.

Regards,
Allan
