How to debbug nixos-rebuild

fforellee · June 16, 2022, 6:55pm

I am currently running into a very annoying issue with my nixos setup, I can’t rebuild it because of
an error with the current message

while evaluating 'fixupOptionType' at /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/lib/modules.nix:730:26, called from /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/lib/modules.nix:464:23:
while evaluating the attribute 'type.getSubModules' at /nix/store/b540q6yrhghmqpddb7irkqnx019zapab-source/integration-common.nix:87:7:
undefined variable 'raw' at /nix/store/b540q6yrhghmqpddb7irkqnx019zapab-source/integration-common.nix:87:33

What is this varaible called ‘raw’? Is this a conflict? How may I troubleshoot this? I don’t record myself changing nothing related to this variable or path.

afaict, your problem is here, in home-manager:

github.com

nix-community/home-manager/blob/64ab7d6e8d157848ec285cd267db29e2f14c1076/integration-common.nix#L87

    
      
            type = types.attrs;
            default = { };
            example = literalExpression "{ inherit emacs-overlay; }";
            description = ''
              Extra <literal>specialArgs</literal> passed to Home Manager. This
              option can be used to pass additional arguments to all modules.
            '';
          };
          
          
sharedModules = mkOption {
            type = with types; listOf raw;
            default = [ ];
            example = literalExpression "[ { home.packages = [ nixpkgs-fmt ]; } ]";
            description = ''
              Extra modules added to all users.
            '';
          };
          
          
verbose = mkEnableOption "verbose output on activation";
          
          
users = mkOption {

types.raw was added to nixpkgs in Merge pull request #160489 from Infinisil/types.raw · NixOS/nixpkgs@6225804 · GitHub, well before the nixos 22.05 release. what version of nixpkgs are you using? i.e. what does nixos-version print?
