How do I get home-manager news
working? When I run it, I get:
home-manager news
No configuration file found. Please create one at /home/user/.config/home-manager/home.nix
I am running nixos unstable with a flake, and my home.nix file is in $HOME/.dotfiles/users/home.nix
.
Do I need to use programs.home-manager.path
?

I played around with it, and it seems as if the home-manager news
command is not compatible with a flake based setup. It seems to do a “magic” invocation that includes the usage of <home-manager/home-manager/build-news.nix>
.
I found a ticket that claims the exact issue here was fixed on unstable (News cannot be read when using flakes only · Issue #2033 · nix-community/home-manager · GitHub ) but I can reproduce the eact issue you are reporting

Try running it with --flake
for example in my case it’s home-manager news --flake .#work-m1
