Describe the bug

This is related to #257880

Aside from older Erlang version, beam modules are also not working. I currently cannot find a workaround for this issue.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
On a darwin-aarch64 system run:

• nix-shell -p erlfmt.out --run erlfmt
• nix-shell -p erlang-ls.out --run erlang_ls

Expected behavior

The program runs

Hey thanks for reporting. I dont have enough darwin experience to be of any help here. Will keep an eye on things to see if a solution appears.

Same issue here. Beam packages built with erlangR26 works fine, however some packages doesn’t support it yet like elixir-ls. workaround for now is disabling jit on the erlang building!

[nifoc]

This appears to not be nixpkgs specific and is tracked upstream: erlang/otp#7687

[alexpearce]

workaround for now is disabling jit on the erlang building!

For those wondering what that might look like:

# Choose your Erlang version here, e.g. R25 or R26.
erlang = pkgs.beam.interpreters.erlangR25.override {
  configureFlags = ["--disable-jit"];
};
# Access BEAM packages via beamPackages,
# e.g. `beamPackages.elixir` or `beamPackages.elixir-ls`.
beamPackages = beam.packagesWith erlang;

@cornedor This should be fixed in master branch, you can test it.

I guess it is fixed. When running using nix-shell I still get the error, but using nix shell nixpkgs#erlfmt it's fine.

nix on  main [!?]
❯ nix-shell -p erlfmt.out --run 'erlfmt --version'
/private/tmp/nix-shell-2037-0/rc: line 3:  2045 Bus error: 10           erlfmt --version

nix on  main [!?]
❯ nix shell nixpkgs#erlfmt

nix on  main [!?]
❯ erlfmt --version
erlfmt version 1.2.0

Yeah, then it should be good.

A comment

nix-shell and nix shell are using different mechanism for searching nix expressions:

• nix-shell is using NIX_PATH, which is configured by nix.nixPath.
• nix shell is using Flake Registry, which is configured by nix.registry.

You can try fine-tuning the NIX_PATH, and it should work as well.
