Infinite recursion encountered

[kay-mw]

I recently updated my flake inputs and encountered an infinite recursion error when attempting to rebuild my system. After some troubleshooting, I found that removing the NixOS stylix module from my config fixed the error. My home manager stylix config seems to be fine.

I am not sure what is responsible, but I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

• Reverting to/trying various older stylix commits (including the commit my flake was previously on).
• Trying a basic version of my stylix config, with just the required options.
• Commenting out specific parts of my config to see if any specific option was responsible.
• Switching to different branches of nixpkgs (unstable/master/23.05).
• Commenting out other parts of my overall NixOS config to see if some conflict was responsible (I didn't do this step super comprehensively, however).
• Misc. things like trying out a different wallpaper image and switching to a different base16 colorscheme

None of these steps were successful. Below is my NixOS stylix config and the full trace.

/modules/nix/stylix/default.nix

``` { pkgs, ... }: { stylix = { enable = true; autoEnable = false; image = ./equivalent_exchange.jpeg; polarity = "dark"; imageScalingMode = "fit"; base16Scheme = "${pkgs.base16-schemes}/share/themes/kanagawa.yaml"; homeManagerIntegration.followSystem = true; fonts = { sizes = { applications = 9; terminal = 11; }; monospace = { package = pkgs.meslo-lgs-nf; name = "MesloLGS NF Regular"; }; }; cursor = { name = "Bibata-Modern-Classic"; package = pkgs.bibata-cursors; size = 20; }; targets = { chromium.enable = true; gnome.enable = true; gtk.enable = true; }; }; } ```

    autoEnable = false;

Try setting autoEnable to its default value (true).

Maybe this is related to https://github.com/danth/stylix/pull/419.

Just gave that a go, unfortunately I am still getting the same infinite recursion error.

I ran into that same infinite recursion error. I found that holding nixvim back on an older version prevents it. Are you using also nixvim and could it be conflicting here?

Thank you! I do use nixvim, and indeed reverting to a previous commit fixed the infinite recursion issue. Specifically, it seems that this specific commit is where the error begins, which makes sense as it does mention infinite recursion as a potential problem across the commit description and code comments.

My nix proficiency is far too low to understand why this commit leads to an infinite recursion, specifically when you have a stylix NixOS configuration enabled (I tried forking nixvim to figure it out, but didn't really get anywhere). I'll close this issue for now as it seems like more of a nixvim issue and than a stylix issue, but I very well may be wrong so feel free to re-open it if that's the case!
