During direnv setup `direnv_layout_dir` can be called multiple times and with different values of `$PWD`
|
||||
(when other `.envrc` files are included). Therefore cache its results in dictionary `direnv_layout_dirs`.

## Manually re-triggering evaluation
|
||||
## Watching additional files
|
||||
|
||||
In some case nix-direnv does not detect if imported file has changed and still
|
||||
provides the old cached values. An evaluation can be triggered by updating your
|
||||
`default.nix`, `shell.nix` or `flake.nix`, depending on what is used:
|
||||
To minimize the number of evaluations, nix-direnv maintains a list of files to check
|
||||
for changes when deciding if an update of the cached environment is required. By default, `use_flake` watches
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
# choose one
|
||||
$ touch default.nix
|
||||
$ touch shell.nix
|
||||
$ touch flake.nix
|
||||
```
|
||||
flake.nix
|
||||
flake.lock
|
||||
devshell.toml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`use_nix` watches
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
default.nix
|
||||
shell.nix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To trigger an evaluation when other nix files change, register them by calling `nix_direnv_watch_file PATH [PATH...]` from `.envrc`.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
nix_direnv_watch_file module.nix
|
||||
nix_direnv_watch_file mod1.nix mod2.nix
|
||||
use flake
|
||||
```
