zsh-nix-shell: --stdin: command not found on v0.6 darwin

Issue description

I’m trying this plugin out, but ran to an issue upon running nix-shell Output: /private/tmp/nix-shell-20000-0/rc: line 4: --stdin: command not found I tried to find the file, it doesn’t exist

Did you install the plugin according to the installation guide? If not, does the issue persist if you do install it that way? Yes, at first, my installation was with zsh-zap, but after that, I changed to plain zsh but still doesn’t work

Steps to reproduce

install based on the plain zsh instructions
create shell.nix in a project, i.e

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:

with pkgs;

mkShell {
  buildInputs = [ cowsay ];
}

run nix-shell

Technical details

Please run the following commands and paste the results:

command nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m"

With the help of a friends Mac I debugged parts of the script. Does the current version on master work now?

An if you use bsd style arguments? ps p $$ o command

That doesn’t work: ps: illegal argument: o

How’s this:

lsof -p $$ | awk '$4=="txt" {print $9}' | head -n 1 ?

nix-shell not found is not really what’s happening, the error is --stdin: command not found

Same here. I am on ARM darwin. Running readlink /proc/$$/exe produces no output. I would suggest changing the name of the issue, though, it is confusing right now.
