fix(conform): use nixfmt for Nix, matching the environment - #10
Merged
Conversation
conform formatted Nix with `alejandra`, but the environment (dotfiles-mac, ADR 0012) dropped alejandra and standardized on nixfmt-rfc-style. alejandra is no longer on PATH, so Nix format-on-save / <leader>f failed with a missing formatter; where it did run it would fight the dotfiles' nixfmt formatting. Switch to conform's `nixfmt` formatter, which invokes the `nixfmt` binary on PATH (nixfmt-rfc-style). Verified: it reformats a .nix buffer correctly.

conform.luaformatted Nix with alejandra, but the environment(hypatia-tile/dotfiles-mac, ADR 0012) dropped alejandra and standardized on
nixfmt-rfc-style. Confirmed on this machine:
alejandrais not on PATH,nixfmt1.3.1 is. So Nix format-on-save /<leader>fcurrently fails with amissing formatter (or, if any alejandra lingered, would churn against the
dotfiles' nixfmt output).
Change
lua/plugins/conform.lua:nix = { "alejandra" }→nix = { "nixfmt" }.CLAUDE.md: doc updated (Nix formatter is nixfmt).conform's
nixfmtformatter invokes thenixfmtbinary on PATH, which inthis environment is nixfmt-rfc-style — so nvim and the dotfiles now agree.
Verification
Headless format of a scratch
.nixbuffer reformats correctly tonixfmt-rfc-style output.
