Thanks for your replies everyone!
Bas - your "toString" helped me over the finishing line. Pretty obvious in
hindsight to use toString to force evaluation of src. I adapted your code
to this:
sourceByRegex = src: regexes: builtins.filterSource (path: type:
let relPath = lib.removePrefix (toString src + "/") (toString path);
in lib.any (re: builtins.match re relPath != null) regexes)
src;
To be used like this:
sourceByRegex /tmp/sourcetest [".*hs$", "someTestFile"]
And then I have some predefined lists like cabalProject = [".*\.cabal$",
".*\.hs"]
