home-manager portable users module args example

home-manager portable users module args example

An example flake demonstrating the absence of the pkgs argument from home-manager portable user configurations evaluated by home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration via the home.user attrset argument to digga.mkFlake.

To demonstrate the issue, run the following from this repository's toplevel:

$ ./evaluate-hm-config-attrs

You should see output similar to:

# =============================================================================
$ nix eval .#hmConfig.config.home.username
# =============================================================================
"me"
# =============================================================================
[SUCCEEDED] hmConfig.config.home.username
# =============================================================================

$ nix eval .#fupHmConfig."x86_64-linux".config.home.username
# =============================================================================
