Greetings, I just opened [1] and started to implement it, basically making pass-through options that user can configure.
What is the way to test NixOS modules? I don't particularly want to wait until ‘updatedb’ is scheduled to run, perhaps I only want to see the final command nix produces. I don't particularly want to install half-finished and experimental changes onto my system either. With nix packages I can nix-build and then play with the results but is there anything of the sort for system modules? Another question is whether I should be trying to catch obvious mistakes and how: say there's on option that takes a username. In order to do something sensible, the user has to exist. Should I be checking for this and throwing an error when the user doesn't exist on the system or are we trusting the user to know it best and to configure it all properly. If some checks are in order, how do we throw an error? ‘assert’?
