 hexa | what is a good output to run nixos vm tests in | 20:57:46 |
| hexa | we have a bunch of them, like 10 | 20:57:51 |
| hexa | so I want them out of checks, because they make nix flake check too expensive | 20:58:11 |
| hexa | but ideally I could just nix build .#tests | 20:58:26 |
| hexa | without having to select an individual test | 20:58:37 |

| hexa | but with the option to | 20:58:41 |
| hexa | but e.g. package attributes can only be derivations or paths | 20:59:37 |
 Sandro 🐧 | create a dummy derivation tests which just draws in everything | 21:26:36 |

 Mr. Defenestrator | It'd be cool if --argstr worked with flake checks. I just did a little test and it failed because my arg wasn't defined in _module.args -- I didn't think checks relied in the module system, but that's kind of interesting if they do.
Maybe someone who knows more about the checks attribute could confirm that. Parameterizing checks could be useful. | 04:36:15 |
 dramforever | flake checks don't inherently use the module system as they're just derivations. do you use something like flake-parts? | 07:29:57 |
| dramforever | like, just to be clear it is not an exaggeration that the nix cli has zero knowledge of how nixos modules work | 07:30:20 |

 kdobieder | Does anyone have an example of a Home Manager module shared via Flake? In the consuming flakes, I’d like it to be added directly to homeManagerModule.modules. The Home Manager module should be able to install packages from nixpkgs. | 10:50:41 |
