That the (guix …) modules could not be found in the search path (your tests suggest this is not the case); 2. That an exception was thrown, for instance because the ‘with-store’ form failed to connect to the daemon on that machine (is the daemon running on that machine? Is it listening on /var/guix/daemon-socket/socket and not some other place?). We should definitely improve that and provide details about the exception, at least. HTH! Ludo’.
