Describe the bug

I was trying to use home-manager to install neovim and it resulted in this error. I have nixpkgs channel set to unstable but I've also tried 21.11 with the same error.
Is there a quick workaround for this? 🙏

[teto]

You are using a neovim from another repo so you should report the issue over there. Can you build neovim from unstable ?

the nix-community flake does neovim-flake.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; which means "let's try our luck and see if that can compile".

Ah i see that makes sense, thanks for the help

With this configuration it works :)

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
   home.packages = [pkgs.neovim];
}

but for some reason this doesn't

{ config, pkgs, ... }:

{
   programs.neovim = {
    enable = true;
    withPython3 = true;
    package = pkgs.neovim;
  };
}

it results in this error

@teto Would you kindly point me towards where you think this issues might be? Maybe the problems lies in home-manager 🤔

[a9b3]

oh i just googled this new error https://discourse.nixos.org/t/help-needed-neovim-completions-fail-to-build/14223/3

and using neovim-unwrapped worked.

Closing now thanks for the help!

[teto]

it's tricky, home-manager expects the "unwrapped" version of neovim so it should be

programs.neovim = {
 enable = true;
 withPython3 = true;
 package = pkgs.neovim-unwrapped;
};

but even better: dont specify the package if you are not sure.
