 @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | okay, I have a minimal example: https://privatebin.net/?849782ab0b96f528#9W3j2DCQz6fRo57akit3xWHGk3XquY9g5zE7tB6qotDi | 05:41:57 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | when I say "works", I mean the first version there creates the nginx vhost host.example.com, and the second version doesn't create it | 05:42:21 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | and I"m not sure why, I woudl expect those two expressions to be equivalent | 05:42:35 |

 Zhaofeng Li | // only does shallow merging. For example, { fruits.apple = 1; } // { fruits.banana = 2; } returns { fruits.banana = 2; }. What you want for configurations is lib.mkMerge: https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-option-definitions-merging | 08:18:55 |

| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | huh, I did not know those were the semantics of // | 20:25:08 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | I wish that documentation had been easier to find | 20:25:46 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | so, if I use lib.mkMerge in my code, I get this error:
error: You're trying to declare a value of type `lambda'
rather than an attribute-set for the option
`'!
This usually happens if `' has option
definitions inside that are not matched. Please check how to properly define
this option by e.g. referring to `man 5 configuration.nix'!
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | I'm not sure why | 20:44:33 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | is there a way I can have colmena use --show-trace? | 20:44:43 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | or in general if I"m trying to deploy something with colmena, is there a way I can get better debug information? | 20:44:58 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Just --show-trace should do it | 20:45:22 |
| Zhaofeng Li | And also use -v to get the full output instead of the spinners | 20:45:40 |
| @rendakuenthusiast:imperishable.name | oh I need to wrap my function call in parens, then it works | 20:48:20 |
