shellHook not working properly

[iogrt]

I'm not able to call functions, alias, etc defined in shellHook.
Example:

mkShell {
  shellHook = ''
   alias e="echo"
'';
}

Result:

e: command not found

I also have this problem. Any known workaround or a solution?

My daily workaround is launching bash and nix-shell'ing inside it... not ideal at all

Shell hooks work, they just run in bash before your shell is launched. Not sure how that can be fixed just thought I'd offer some clarification.
