Error when enabling bolt service on unstable

Hello,
today following this discussion I stumbled upon an error while building my configuration:

# nixos-rebuild switch

building the system configuration...
error: value is a boolean while a set was expected, at /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/lib/modules.nix:300:62

The config module for the bolt service seems quite simple but I’m not able to understand if it may be a problem of my configuration or of nixpkgs, any idea how to debug it further?

Setting services.hardware.bolt.enable = true; evaluates fine for me.

Seems like you somehow put it in environment.systemPackages or something? Can you paste your configuration.nix somewhere?

@ajs124 thanks for answering, see here Files · bolt-issue · Alberto / ender-config · GitLab

azazel/ender-config/blob/bolt-issue/configuration.nix#L81

    
      
          
          
#services.teamviewer.enable = true;
          
          
# Enable sound.
          sound.enable = true;
          hardware.pulseaudio.enable = true;
          
          

          
hardware.opengl.enable = true;
          hardware.opengl.extraPackages = [ pkgs.vaapiIntel ];
          services.hardware.bolt = true;
          # Enable the X11 windowing system.
          services.xserver.enable = true;
          services.xserver.layout = "it";
          services.xserver.xkbOptions = "eurosign:e";
          # Enable touchpad support.
          services.xserver.libinput.enable = true;
          
          
# Enable the KDE Desktop Environment.
          # services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.enable = true;
          # services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;

That’s not services.hardware.bolt.enable = true, that’s services.hardware.bolt = true.

You’re right! sorry to have bothered you with it!

ajs124 · January 31, 2020, 11:13pm

No problem, glad I could help. That error message could definitely have been more helpful.

It’s factually true, you passed a boolean where a set was expected, but it doesn’t really tell you anything.
