My flake.nix used by nix profile is ignoring my home-manager section

Help

Hi,

It seems that nix profile is ignore my home-manager section without any errors.
Any suggestions to what can be the reason?

What command do you run exactly? I don’t think nix profile touches darwinConfigurations, you need to use the nix-darwin script.

The darwin module is not a function by the way, and even if it was you’d need parentheses around it and that attrset so that nix doesn’t treat its argument as another list entry.

In this case, it should not immediately throw an error (assuming no other issues) because there are no parentheses, but the way you wrote your modules is misleading.

Thanks for the feedback.

Will try to move it to another nix command and see how that works.

Specifically, you probably need these instructions: https://daiderd.com/nix-darwin/#flakes-experimental
