`age.identityPaths` still up to date?

[TornaxO7]

Hi! The section about age.identityPaths says:

(...) The list items should be strings ("/path/to/id_rsa"), not nix paths (../path/to/id_rsa), as the latter would copy your private key to the nix store, which is the exact situation agenix is designed to avoid. (...)

but I'm getting the following error message with:

    age.identityPaths = [ "test" ];

error:

IIRC the path type checks if the string starts with a leading /. So "/test" should work.

[TornaxO7]

hm... but does that mean that I have to use absolute paths?

[ambroisie]

Well yes, otherwise what are your paths relative to?

[TornaxO7]

hm... ok, maybe I can create an absolute with the help of self.

Thank you for the information! :)
