mfed3 | Hey everyone, been using nixos for about 2 years now, but finally doing some tests to migrate to flakes with my configuration of 2 hosts. Was following some basics on the nixos-wiki and right off the bat errors. My steps were: Enabled flakes and nix-command on the old style configuration Refactored my configs a bit to have a modules and hosts folder at the top level Ran nix flake init Modified the file to look like this: | 01:48:38 |
mfed3 | Ran sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake . | 01:49:02 |

| 01:50:36 |
mfed3 | The errors don't even point to anything in my files, I don't understand what it's trying to tell me | 01:51:18 |
mfed3 | Maybe someone knows this common error means something specific that I forgot to do ? Can't even find the error searching for it | 01:53:06 |
Charles | When using flakes and git, nix does not know files exist unless they are checked into git. Try running git add -AN and then trying again | 01:55:46 |

mfed3 | So my original config was a git repo but this one is not, I didn't realize it doesn't work at all without it being a git repo | 01:58:30 |
mfed3 | Ok so can I just git init from that folder or do I need to delete the flake.nix and lock file and redo nix flake init? | 01:59:22 |
Charles | If it's not a git repo then it should work | 02:00:04 |
Charles | Make sure you didn't typo your paths in your nix code | 02:00:18 |
Charles | Maybe try running git status to double check that it isn't a git repo | 02:01:09 |
mfed3 | k I committed everything in there now, reran, same error | 02:03:08 |
Charles | In reply to @charles:computer.surgeryTry this | 02:03:56 |
Charles | The error looks like you wrote ./foo.nix but actually have ./bar.nix instead for example | 02:04:51 |
Charles | That or it's not getting copied into the store, which would be the git thing | 02:05:15 |
mfed3 | For modules, relative path to a folder from root of a flake would be ./hosts/file.nix not hosts/file.nix and no quotes around them in modules correct | 02:06:00 |
mfed3 | Omg I'm a fuckin idiot, fatfingered a ../ in one of the imports 3 deep in one of the configs | 02:37:36 |
mfed3 | Man the error messages are so useless lol | 02:37:57 |
mfed3 | Thanks charles you were right after all :D | 02:39:01 |
mfed3 | Works, system officially flakified | 02:44:24 |
tomberek | That did not make a symlink? | 02:57:55 |

@abmantis:abcosta.com | it does, but still I just ran nix develop --profile ./nix-profile /home/acosta/dev/thirdparty/nix-environments#home-assistant and it fetched stuff before opening the environment | 21:29:24 |
