This commit introduces the `nixpkgs-disabled` module, that is
basically a mock of `nixpkgs` module where any value different from
`null` will cause an assertion error.
This is to help debugging cases where `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs` is
set to `true` and `nixpkgs.*` options are being used.
Nowadays this returns the following error:
```
error: The option `home-manager.users.<user>.nixpkgs` does not exist.
```
This will change too:
```
error: `nixpkgs` options are disabled when `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs` is enabled.
```
That will direct the user to the correct solution (either removing
`nixpkgs` or disable `home-manager.useGlobalPkgs`).
Having either argument defined based on the OS is a problem when
trying to write generic Nix code.
The current workaround is to use accept both and specify a default
value for each argument:
```
{ config, lib, nixosConfig ? {}, darwinConfig ? {}, ... }:
let
osConfig = nixosConfig // darwinConfig;
in
{
# Do something with `osConfig`
}
```
With this commit, it becomes possible to do the following:
```
{ config, lib, osConfig, ... }:
{
# Do something with `osConfig`
}
```
- Add NIXPKGS_REV, so we can pass arbitrary revisions for testing (for
example, `release-21.05` so we can test backports).
- Add format target, that calls the format script.
nnn is a terminal file manager.
It is configured mostly using environment variables, so the way I
found it to avoid needing to write either shell specific code or
using `home.sessionVariables` (that would need to make the user
relogin at every configuration change) is to wrap the program using
`wrapProgram`.
This is to better integrate with more advanced shell history managers
like McFly and Atuin. By initializing fzf first, we allow the history
managers to steal the C-r key binding from fzf.
This commit adds a module for configuring atuin, a replacement shell
history program.
The module adds options for generating atuin's `config.toml` from Nix,
and options to enable atuin's integration for bash and zsh
(which will rebind history keys to open the atuin history).
* screen-locker: Make xautolock optional, reorganize options
xautolock isn't really needed to trigger xss-lock on the basis of time
since the built-in screensaver functionality of X serves as one of the
event sources for xss-lock. Keeping it around and defaulting to
"enabled" to avoid unexpected breakage.
Also shuffled around the options to submodules for xss-lock and
xautolock to get rid of prefixes in option names and to make
enableDetectSleep a bit clearer.
* screen-locker: update maintainership
* tests/screen-locker: Stub i3lock and xss-lock
* screen-locker: add package options for xss-lock and xautolock
kanshi configurations can have more than one exec statement in a
profile. This change allows services.kanshi.profiles.<name>.exec to be
a list of strings rather than a single string.
The idea of this file is to make it easier to run tests. It will ensure
that the tests are running with the correct NIX_PATH (pointing it to
e.g.: unstable), and also allowing it to run either one or all tests.
This option provides a more convenient way to overlay dummy packages.
It also adds a function `config.lib.test.mkStubPackage` that can,
e.g., be used for `package` options.
If the user has a running systemd session, source their environment
from the systemd manager and export a few variables in order to allow
activation scripts to reload applications on the fly.
The list of variables to export is arbitrary and could be extended in
the future.
Fixes#1399, fixes#2112.
Specifically, instead of
services.dbus.packages = with pkgs; [ gnome.dconf ];
we now recommend
programs.dconf.enable = true;
which does the same and more.
Currently, when a custom path is set for any of the XDG base
directories (i.e XDG_DATA_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, ...), the path will
be coerced into a string when consumed by other options such as
xdg.configFile et al. This causes the the given path to be copied to
the nix store which in the case of xdg.configFile et al, translate to
the file being written there as it is a absolute path.
Interestingly, the default base directories all work as intended as
they are encoded as a string.
This commit converts the option to a string regardless of whether it
is a primitive path or a string encoded path. This allows downstream
consumers to use the base directories in arbitrary way without
accidentally copying the content of the directory to the store. It is
implemented in a similar manner as how home.homeDirectory undergoes
string conversion.
The existing file-attr-name test was modified to test also custom xdg
base directories, and the home.file generation test was removed as
there is a dedicated test for this case in the files module. The test
case was renamed to file-gen to better reflect the new scope.
