Hey @yunfachi, this looks great!
Can you please help me use umport?
Iβm currently trying to use it in a flake.nix (nix-darwin) > home.nix (home manager) > modules context and really strugging to get past issues ( similar to that Iβve encountered since migrating from just a home manager flake.nix > modules setup) because I no longer have a modules block as per your examples in my home manager config (home.nix, no longer flake.nix) other than in nix-darwinβs flake.nix, and I want my home manager modules loaded via home.nix). I have tried in the home manager module in nix-darwinβs flake but failed.
My goal is to later use umport too in the nix-darwin flake for any modules eventually installed via it system-wide, so if that is something you can advise on too while helping me understand how to use umport in home manager, that would be much appreciated!
PS Thank you for such a great tool and one that Iβm surprised didnβt exist until you built it and it appears for upgrading it to use lib.fileset (another great addition to nix Iβm grateful for as I will hopefully learn properly after resolving this issue).

### How I am trying and knowingly failing to use umport:
imports = [
ylib.umport {
paths = [ ./pkgs-home-manager/modules-macos-active ./options-home-manager];
recursive = true;
}
];
### How I currently am importing home manager modules/programs into home.nix, which works but is very annoying at the actual list of imports is much longer with different paths:
#imports = [
# ./home_manager/modules/cli/git.nix
# ## Home Manager Options
# ./home-manager-options.nix
#];
}
defaults.nix
{ylib, ...}: {
imports = ylib.umport {
paths = [./modules-macos-active];
recursive = true;
};
}
All files above:
~/.config/nix-darwin/flake.nix
~/.config/nix-darwin/nixpkgs/home.nix
~/.config/nix-darwin/nixpkgs/pkgs-home-manager/default.nix
~/.config/nix-darwin/nixpkgs/pkgs-home-manager/modules-macos-active/cli, gui, ... each containing home manager modules (programs).
I have tried the way you present in the example, but for example ++ ylib.umport { ... gives a concat error.
As youβll see in my home.nix, I previously imported every module (program) as path/module.nix, and now am wanting to use the method you describe for a restructred fileset (more organised directories), which allows automatic importing once a default.nix file in the root of the fileset. Mine is similar to yours, but all files are under . ./pkgs-home-manager/modules-macos-active and subdirectores eg /cli, /guiβ¦
As predicted I get error: cannot coerce a set to a string, because Iβm using imports = [ β¦ that gets a fileset (or just because Iβm using {} ), and I donβt know how to remove/replace the import to bring the filesetβs modules (programes eg path/git.nix) into home.nix.
Thanks
