Failed to update Home Manager Options

[BlueskyFR]

Hey!

I am requested to run nix-channel --add https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager && nix-channel --update in order to make the HM options search work but I don't want to run it on every machine... My system config uses flakes so how can I make manix work out-of-the-box without having to run this extra command after install?

Many thanks!

Also running the command doesn't fix it for me

I can confirm that this issue is a majorly important one for me as well (and all flake consumers)

Sorry, this wasn't put into my notifications. I will investigate soon.

Hey, I just came across this and tried a fix. I'm kinda new to nix and haven't tested it beyond my config (home-manager managed by nixos through flakes) but it kinda works for me.
This solution would require setting

  manual.json.enable = true;

in home configuration.

For anyone wondering how to fix this until PR is merged:

apply overlay:

final: prev: {
  manix = prev.manix.override (old: {
    rustPlatform = old.rustPlatform // {
      buildRustPackage = args:
        old.rustPlatform.buildRustPackage (args // {

          version = "0.8.0-pr20";

          src = prev.fetchFromGitHub {
            owner = "nix-community";
            repo = "manix";
            rev = "c532d14b0b59d92c4fab156fc8acd0565a0836af";
            sha256 = "sha256-Uo+4/be6rT0W8Z1dvCRXOANvoct6gJ4714flhyFzmKU=";
          };

          cargoHash = "sha256-ey8nXMCFnDSlJl+2uYYFm1YrhJ+r0sq48qtCwhqI0mo=";

        });
    };
  });
}

Add manual.json.enable = true; to home-manager config

Result:
