Stylix colors in home.file

Help
1

I have been trying for hours to get this working. I can get stylix working everywhere but neovim. I don’t configure neovim with nix, so I’m trying to create a lua file with the stylix colors in it. When I import this file into my home.nix I get the errors below it.

{ pkgs, config, ... }:
{
  target = "/home/dot/.config/nvim/lua/dot/plugins/mini.base16.lua";
  text = ''
    return {
      "nvim-mini/mini.base16",
      version = "*",
      config = {
        palette = {
          base00 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base00}",
          base01 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base01}",
          base02 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base02}",
          base03 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base03}",
          base04 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base04}",
          base05 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base05}",
          base06 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base06}",
          base07 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base07}",
          base08 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base08}",
          base09 = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base09}",
          base0A = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base0A}",
          base0B = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base0B}",
          base0C = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base0C}",
          base0D = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base0D}",
          base0E = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base0E}",
          base0F = "#${config.lib.stylix.colors.base0F}",
        },
        use_cterm = true,
        plugins = { default = true },
      },
    }
  '';
}

here’s the end of the output from running sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake . --show-trace
