Modify flake.nix and flake.lock files to compile a Plutus script having Plutus.V2.Ledger.Api

[Savissy]

Summary

I tried compiling a simple Plutus script using the provided nix shell environment but fails to compile due to errors of not being able to find the Plutus.V2.Ledger.Api module, which was used in the simple Plutus script.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Git clone repo
2. Run Nix develop
3. Create a simple validator script that always success
4. Save in the plutus-tx repo for instance
5. Run cabal repl plutus-tx

Actual Result

Plutus.V2.Ledger.Api module not found

Expected Result

Module loaded

Describe the approach you would take to fix this

Replace the flake.nix, flake.lock files to set up a more effective nix shell environment that effectively compiles all Plutus modules

Hi, thanks for reporting how you got stuck.

4. Save in the plutus-tx repo for instance
5. Run cabal repl plutus-tx

This doesn't seem like the right way to go. Which guide/tutorial are you following?

[Savissy]

I was just trying to quickly test the the library file so I just saved it at the Plutus-tx repo before running the command. But I'll love to know how it's rightly done.

Thanks, where did you find instructions to import the module Plutus.V2.Ledger.Api?

Please have a look at https://github.com/IntersectMBO/plinth-template to see how you can structure a cabal project for a Plinth validator. It contains a (non-trivial) validator script in src/ActionValidator.hs.

Okay, thank you.
