Declaring source code to compile it automatically

Help
1

Hi!

I’ve stumbled upon this problem recently. I was trying to declare source code of an application in my flake.nix file:

{
  description = "Nixos config flake";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs = {
      url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    };
    onedrive = {
      url = "github:abraunegg/onedrive/master";
    };
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nix-flatpak, home-manager, ... }@inputs:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      pkgs = "nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}";
    in
    {
      nixosConfigurations.dell-3 = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
        specialArgs = {inherit inputs;};
        modules = [
          ./configuration.nix
        ];
    };
  };
}

But when I try to rebuild my system I get the following error:

error:
       … while updating the lock file of flake 'path:/etc/nixos?lastModified=1736260073&narHash=sha256-4oEU0jtU2dCYe17r/%2Ba7NaahRnRgahsEuvU1uQzXm40%3D'

       … while updating the flake input 'onedrive'

       error: path '/nix/store/yawbmxg3fjsgp73s25n02rilwlr9n6yj-source/flake.nix' does not exist

[root@dell-3:~]#

Even running

[root@dell-3:~]# nix run github:abraunegg/onedrive/master
error: path '/nix/store/yawbmxg3fjsgp73s25n02rilwlr9n6yj-source/flake.nix' does not exist

[root@dell-3:~]#

throws the error. What does it mean?
Can you please help me guys?

Flake inputs are assumed to also be flakes unless they specify flake = false;
