Violation of the flake schema about nixvim

[traxys]

Yeah we know about it, but the alternative is not desirable

[Gerg-L]

nixvim/flake-modules/packages.nix

Lines 13 to 14 in 6be28a9

	# Test that all packages build fine when running `nix flake check`.
	checks = config.packages;

found the culprit

[MattSturgeon]

The wiki documents the schema as

checks."<system>"."<name>" = derivation;

Which is what the code you linked should be doing.

config.packages is the (per-system) result of calling docs/default.nix, which is an attr set containing options-json, man-docs, & docs.

Which should result in the flake output:

checks.<system>
  - options-json
  - man-docs
  - docs

[Gerg-L]

So the packages. Output is wrong too

[traxys]

This seems strange, because for example it is correct for x86_64-linux:

nix repl .
nix-repl> :lf .
nix-repl> builtins.typeOf checks.x86_64-linux
"set"

I am not using a darwin machine, so I am not able to show the schema for it. What machine are you using?

The error I encounter is:

Which is a known issue #1154 but there is not much we can do here, we would need something like NixOS/nix#6530
