'/code/nixpkgs': No such file or directory

Start with the failing stack trace in internal/devbox/shell.go and the caller in internal/devbox/devbox.go, then reproduce the documented docker generate/build/run sequence with the supplied devbox.json. Trace why the generated container tries to access /code/nixpkgs; done means the image starts without the reported missing-path error.

What happened?

Trying out devbox. I am trying to run a container from the generated image - I am immediately hitting an error.

Steps to reproduce

devbox generate dockerfile

docker build -t my-devbox-image .

docker run -it -e DEVBOX_DEBUG=1 my-devbox-image
