error: attribute 'diskNoDeps' missing ?
Closed this issue · 10 comments
I am trying to follow https://nix-community.github.io/nixos-anywhere/howtos/use-without-flakes.html
but I am facing this error (on nixos 23.05 x86_64).
[tru@nuc-nixos:~/nixos-anywhere]$ nix-build -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix -E '(import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build.diskNoDeps'
error: attribute 'diskNoDeps' missing
at «string»:1:1:
1| (import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build.diskNoDeps
| ^
OTOH, nix-build -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix -E '(import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build' runs fine (but that is not what is listed on the page).
Ah there is a typo in the manual. It should be diskoNoDeps
[tru@nuc-nixos:~/nixos-anywhere]$ nix-build -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix -E '(import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build.diskoNoDeps'

I am still new to nixos, have I missed anything?

It's imported in your flake.nix, but
[tru@nuc-nixos:~/nixos-anywhere]$ nix-build -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix -E '(import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build.diskoNoDeps'`
doesn't use the flake, but uses configuration.nix only, where it isn't imported.
Something like
nix build .#nixosConfigurations.nixos-efi-toy.config.system.build.diskoNoDeps
Should work?
I was using -I nixos-config=./configuration.nix in #231 (comment) and no longer the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix file, but that did not help.
Here is what you have requested:
[tru@nixos:~/nixos-anywhere]$ nix build .#nixosConfigurations.nixos-efi-toy.config.system.build.diskoNoDeps
error: flake 'path:/home/tru/nixos-anywhere' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.nixosConfigurations.nixos-efi-toy.config.system.build.diskoNoDeps', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.nixosConfigurations.nixos-efi-toy.config.system.build.diskoNoDeps' or 'nixosConfigurations.nixos-efi-toy.config.system.build.diskoNoDeps'
You need to run that from your flakes directory, the flake where you've defined the nixos-efi-toy nixosConfiguration or replace the first '.' with the path to said directory.
If you then still get same error, check with nix flake show whether that nixosConfiguration is defined in your flake - your flake.nix above suggests it does
Also, replace the deprecated .diskoNoDeps with .diskoScriptNoDeps (otherwise you'll get a warning telling you the same.
I think I am doing it right, but still failing:

I think I am doing it right, but still failing:
I took the time to reproduce your example with the files you've posted: The issue is that you don't include your disk-config.nix, if you add it to your modules as in
modules = [
./configuration.nix
disko.nixosModules.disko
./disk-config.nix
];
You'll get a warning and an actual error, if you then use the non-deprecated attribute as I've suggested above i.e.
nix build .#nixosConfigurations.nixos-efi-toy.config.system.build.diskoScriptNoDeps
It works as such, you just have a small error in your config left:
error: A definition for option `disko.devices.disk.disk1.content.partitions.root.size' is not of type `value "100%" (singular enum) or string matching the pattern [0-9]+[KMGTP]?'. Definition values:
- In `/nix/store/a0lvzj5x9qgpph4730bqqh0xn3x6mgd5-source/disk-config.nix': "40G%"
So remove the "%" here.
thanks! that was it... disk-config.nix missing from flake.nix.
I had just adapted the https://github.com/numtide/nixos-anywhere-examples/blob/main/flake.nix file which is also missing the ./disk-config.nix line...
The "40G%" is my typo, changing the "100%" initial value to "40G".
I really appreciate your kind help on the matter.
