Unstable packages not being found in PATH #403

When using packages from nix-unstable during CI, they wont be available in PATH without exporting the variable first. The "export PATH" line is necessary in every step that uses the unstable package, or else it wont work.

dependencies:
  nixpkgs:
    - nodejs
    - tailwindcss_4

  github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable:
    - gleam
    - beamMinimal28Packages.erlang
    - beamMinimal28Packages.rebar3

steps:
  - name: Build HTML
    command: |
      # vv This is necessary when using unstable packages
      export PATH="$HOME/.nix-profile/bin:$PATH"

      # The gleam binary is now accessible.
      gleam run
