@djacu:matrix.org | Ah that's a pretty sweet suite. Just so I understanding you completely, you're just mentioning this for other use cases. Not suggesting that it could be used in the example I provided? | 00:45:43 |
infinisil | That alias stuff is pretty messy, I wouldn't recommend that myself, but sometimes it is needed. In this case the simpler mapAttrs (name: mkDefault) works though | 02:53:43 |

mr-qubo | I recently stumbled upon similar issue when working on home-manager. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/is-it-possible-to-define-systemd-services-in-a-submodule/39538/5 The idea is that enabling https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml#opt-programs.bash.enableCompletion should set I think that module system is missing an option to pass config options recursively up to all ancestors. | 15:06:01 |
mr-qubo | My idea is that nixos config could have a property extraNixosChildConfig and in home-manager bash module I could set _recurseAncestors = { extraNixosChildConfig = { environment.pathsToLink = [ ... ]; }; } . | 15:07:22 |
mr-qubo | wdyt? | 15:07:26 |
mr-qubo | * My idea is that nixos config could have a property extraNixosChildConfig that gets merged with the rest of the config and in home-manager bash module I could set _recurseAncestors = { extraNixosChildConfig = { environment.pathsToLink = [ ... ]; }; } . | 15:07:44 |
mr-qubo | * My idea is that nixos config could pick up extraNixosChildConfig from childs and merge it with the rest of the config and in home-manager bash module I could set _recurseAncestors = { extraNixosChildConfig = { environment.pathsToLink = [ ... ]; }; } . | 15:08:21 |
infinisil | Not sure about that recursive thing, that doesn't seem necessary, but yeah if there's something missing in the NixOS module for home-manager, that could be added | 15:34:09 |
infinisil | Sounds like an issue for the home-manager repo | 15:34:16 |
mr-qubo | Yeah, we could add it just for home-manager. But is seems like the issue is quite generic. See also https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/152785. | 15:51:50 |
infinisil | Hmm yeah fair. I don't have the capacity to think a lot about this right now, it's a very intricate topic to wrap ones head around | 15:56:55 |
mr-qubo | Yeah, I just wanted to bring the topic, maybe someone has some interesting thoughts. | 16:05:23 |

@djacu:matrix.org | I'm reading through the module system deep dive on nix.dev and am wondering if there is a behavioral difference between setting an options default behavior in the this
vs this
| 21:39:27 |
infinisil | djacu: Setting a default with options.foo = lib.mkOption { default = <value>; ... } is equivalent to config.foo = lib.mkOptionDefault <value>; | 23:23:21 |
infinisil | Furthermore, default = <value> (and there's defaultText too) can get rendered in the manual, config.foo = ... can't | 23:24:14 |
@djacu:matrix.org | Right right I forgot about the docs side. I was more focused on merge behavior. So either way they get default priority. Thanks for the explanation! | 23:48:23 |
21 Feb 2024 | ||
infinisil | djacu (Well you need mkOptionDefault to get the same priority for config, which is generally not done) | 11:25:22 |

@djacu:matrix.org | How does the module system handle definitions with no priority? I've got two modules
If I evaluate them together, I get I imagine the answer is somewhere in this function but I am having trouble working through the logic. On a side note, this appears to be the place where option declarations with a | 04:41:32 |
@djacu:matrix.org | After digging some more it seems like it actually might happen in mergeDefinitions which calls filterOverrides' . My reading of it leads me to believe that definitions with no priority get set a priority of defaultOverridePriority which is fairly low (100). | 05:15:44 |
