devenv symptom → cause → fix
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|
command not found for a project CLI | running outside the shell, or deps not synced | devenv shell -- <cmd>; sync the venv → devenv-python-venv |
ModuleNotFoundError on import | venv exists but deps unsynced | uv sync / repoman-sync → devenv-python-venv |
| Edited a module, no effect | stale lock / eval cache | rm -f devenv.lock && rm -rf .devenv → devenv-module-edits |
| Import of a module fails | missing flake: false or transitive input | devenv-inputs |
| Python version pin ignored | no nixpkgs-python input | devenv-inputs |
| Shell won't enter / eval error | bad .nix syntax or stale eval cache | re-read the error; devenv shell --refresh-eval-cache; for the full reset rm -rf .devenv |
| Server ties up the shell | used scripts for a daemon | use processes + devenv up → devenv-processes |
