What are you executing? Can you share your config? It looks like you’re using flakes too, can you confirm that?

Yes,I am using flakes to manage my config.

However the error does not seem to be dependent on the config, as I’ve commented every line of imports in ./core.nix and the error message remained the same.

I get the same error for my config as well on eval, though building works fine. Are you sure that eval is what you wanted to do?

If you are trying to evaluate the derivation to get the path, use ...toplevel.outPath or ...toplevel.drvPath or add the option --raw (depending on what you want)

I think the reason is that nix eval trys to deeply evaluate the entire thing, but since Nix is lazily evaluated it contains loops and (benign) errors. It can be confusing though
