error: flake does not provide attribute 'homeConfigurations."tempest".config.news.json.output'

I have been trying to setup home-manager on my ChromeOS flex laptop and I run into this issue... I am not able to debug this as there isn't a lot of information to go by

tried running with --show-trace but I don't see any extra information from that. I am a Nix novice. I have this working on my work laptop on WSL. that is NixOS and not just home-manager. I use the hydra configuration. I know tempest is probably not designed with flexos developer linux environment in mind (which by the way is a debian container).

Any help will be appreciated.. I literally searched for the word news across the configuration and disabled everything that looked like it was even remotely related.

Any ideas.

        SUB    → The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.
