Help!

Just did a:

nix flake update
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#

and got this error:

error: cached failure of attribute 'nixosConfigurations.framework.config.system.build.toplevel'

I am running nixos unstable.

try this Nix flakes should not cache evaluation errors · Issue #3872 · NixOS/nix · GitHub and you can find out what’s going wrong

Thanks.

Here’s the error:

error:
       Failed assertions:
       - Importing framework/ (default.nix) directly is deprecated! See https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/df9bb8a436607da124e8cfa0fd19e70e9d9e0b7b/framework/OLD-BEHAVIOUR-DEPRECATED.md for more details.

The link gives a 404…

Thanks. That worked. I didn’t think it was referring to my ‘Framework’ laptop. It is a dumb name because of confusion like this.
