This commit introduces `home.sessionSearchVariables` option, that is
created to be a "generic" version of `home.sessionPath` for any
environment variables that is similar to PATH (e.g.: MANPATH). This
allows composition of those variables between multiple modules, avoiding
issues like this one:
https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/4579/files#r1364374048
This commit also reimplements `home.sessionPath` as terms of
`home.sessionSearchVariables`, to reduce code duplication and show that
the code is correct.
Unfortunately, using `attrsOf` is not possible since it results in too
eager evaluation. In particular, the
home.sessionVariables = {
FOO = "Hello";
BAR = "${config.home.sessionVariables.FOO} World!";
};
example will cause an infinite recursion.
This commit restores the option type of
- `home.sessionVariables`,
- `pam.sessionVariables`,
- `programs.bash.sessionVariables`, and
- `programs.zsh.sessionVariables`
to `attrs`. It also adds test cases for the above options to avoid
regressions.
Fixes#659
