Attempt to import home-manager module produces recursion.

[Qualadia]

Trying to import home-manager module for installation of nix-doom-emacs (imports = [ nix-doom-emacs.hmModule ];).

error: infinite recursion encountered

Where did you write the imports = attribute?

[Qualadia]

in module of a home-manager

[roberth]

I can't really tell what's going on without reading more of the sources. Did you try with --show-trace?

It looks like you need to add nix-doom-emacs to specialArgs in nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem. Flake-parts doesn't seem to be involved in the recursion.

You're right. I needed to put this into the home-manager modules. The code was quite messy after refactor for transition to flake-parts. Issue solved. Thanks
