When I do that, I&rsquo;m asked to run <code>direnv allow</code> on the new folder, but under a particular circumstance, something weird happens; you&rsquo;ll get an error like this:</p> <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>direnv: loading ~/proj/project-name/.envrc </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>direnv: using flake . </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>error: path <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;/nix/store/0cc..nm8-source/flake.nix&#39;</span> does not exist </span></span></code></pre></div><br/>
