Error when add home-manager -> flake.nix [resolved]

Help

Hi everyone,

I followed a video tutorial (LibrePhoenix) but made some modifications because we do not use the same channel and when I updated flake.nix I had :

[15:05:17]  gg  on nixos ~/.dotfiles
➜ home-manager switch --flake .

I don’t understand the errors. Here is my flake.nix :

{

  description = "A very basic flake";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    home-manager-unstable = {  
      url = "github:nix-community/home-manager/master";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    }; 
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, home-manager, ... }:
    let
      lib = nixpkgs.lib;
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      pkgs-unstable = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
    in {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      nixos = lib.nixosSystem { 
        inherit system;
        modules = [ ./configuration.nix ];
      };
    };
    homeConfigurations = { 
      gg = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration { 
        inherit pkgs-unstable;
        modules = [ ./home.nix ];
      };
    };
  };

}

A little help would be welcome.

The homeManagerConfiguration function expects an object with a pkgs property. Using inherit pkgs-unstable; is equivalent to pkgs-unstable = pkgs-unstable;, but the function requires pkgs, not pkgs-unstable.

To fix this, change inherit pkgs-unstable; to pkgs = pkgs-unstable;. This will resolve the issue.

homeConfigurations = {
  gg = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
    pkgs = pkgs-unstable;
    modules = [ ./home.nix ];
  };
};
