Recently I was having a weird error running nixos-rebuild. I added some packages to systemPackages and I was getting this error:
cannot coerce a set to a string, at /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/lib/strings.nix:442:44 After some debugging I found that the guilty was the boot package, but I needed some time to understand why. In my configuration.nix I have this: environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ ..... boot ]; But 'boot' refers to the option 'boot', not the package 'boot'. For me, that behavior is confusing (at least in the programming languages I know the inner scope variables shadow the ones on the outer scope). In my example, is there a way to make 'boot' refer to 'pkgs.boot'? or a way of getting a warning on this case? Regards, Jose Luis
