Whatever non-existent file name I use, I don't get an error message but
the warning ‘guix shell: warning: no packages specified; creating an
empty environment’, so this doesn't look like a cache issue to me.

However, if I do:

$ LANGUAGE=en_US guix shell --rebuild-cache -f nn-fefefefexistent.scm
guix shell: error: failed to load 'nn-fefefefexistent.scm': No such file or 
directory

$ LANGUAGE=en_US guix shell --rebuild-cache -f nn-fefefefexistent.scm
guix shell: error: failed to load 'nn-fefefefexistent.scm': No such file or 
directory

$ LANGUAGE=en_US guix shell --rebuild-cache -f mm-fefefefexistent.scm 
guix shell: error: failed to load 'mm-fefefefexistent.scm': No such file or 
directory

$ LANGUAGE=en_US guix shell -f mm-fefefefexistent.scm
guix shell: error: failed to load 'mm-fefefefexistent.scm': No such file or 
directory

so looks like there's a cache issue!

Greetings,
Maxime.
