best way to get store path for resource

[sstarcher]

What problem are you trying to solve?

Tools like antigen need to be sourced from your shell config.

My current method is the following and wanting to see if a better way exists

What solution would you like?

some built in easy way to access paths

Alternatives you've considered

antigen_path=$(cat .local/share/devbox/global/default/devbox.lock | jq -r '.packages."antigen@latest".systems."x86_64-linux".store_path')
source "${antigen_path}/share/antigen/antigen.zsh"

The binaries and contents of the Nix package are also symlinked in a global directory within your Devbox Global directory. You can access that file using:

source $DEVBOX_GLOBAL_PREFIX/share/antigen/antigen.zsh

$DEVBOX_GLOBAL_PREFIX returns nothing while I'm in my global shell.

returns nothing while I'm in my global shell.

How are you activating your global shell? Are you running eval "$(devbox global shellenv --init-hook)" in your zshrc?

Another option you could try is:

$(devbox global path)/.devbox/nix/profile/default/share/antigen/antigen.zsh

[sstarcher]

I was using eval "$(devbox global shellenv)"

This looks to work $(devbox global path)/.devbox/nix/profile/default/share/antigen/antigen.zsh

[sstarcher]

I'm using
eval "$(devbox global shellenv)"

This does work
$(devbox global path)/.devbox/nix/profile/default/share/antigen/antigen.zsh
