Upstream-Issue: NixOS/nix#8978
Describe the bug
In nix v2.13.3 executing
nix run
creates the current user's profile if it does not exist yet at the default location/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/$USER
.In newer versions of nix (e.g. v2.17.0) the default profile location of a user is
$HOME/.local/state/nix/profiles/profile
, butnix run
andnix shell ...
do not create it if it's missing. Other commands likenix profile list
,nix profile install
,nix-env -q
and evennix --help
do create the default profile.Related: https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/issues/4403
