Because of the recent bump of Nim compiler for codex to >2 version, using the system Nim provided by nixpkgs became unusable since the nim-codex couldn't build. Because of this I've adapted the derivation to be similar to the one of nimbus-eth2 where we build Nim compiler using nimbus-build-system.
The pipeline on Jenkins is currently set to build nim-codex through flake, but there is a possibility to run the nix tests in the pipeline with slight modifications of the ci agents(the error when running nix tests).
P.S. Unfortunately it is not possible anymore(to my knowledge) to instantiate the nix shell without specifying additionally
'.?submodules=1#'
. Cause of this is that thecallPackage
frompreBuild
phase is being called and all three calls require submodules to be present.
