Overriding the lib argument

[Petingoso]

I was trying to unite a configuration which contains NixOS hosts and system-manager hosts. For such, I wanted to use a lib with extended attributes.
Currently there is a builder of the sort:

mkHyper =
    hostname:
    {
      hostPath,
      extraModules ? [ ],
      ...
    }:
    inputs.system-manager.lib.makeSystemConfig {
      modules = [
        {
          environment.etc.test.text = hostname;
          nixpkgs.hostPlatform = "x86_64-linux";
          system-manager.allowAnyDistro = true;
        }
        hostPath
      ]
      ++ extraModules;
    };

Which is run as a map from the top level flake.

If i try to access the overridden lib functions, it does not work properly.

I also tried to expose the lib via inheriting in extraSpecialArgs and importing in modules, which leads to a conflict of top level specifiers:

Details

...
    inputs.system-manager.lib.makeSystemConfig {
      extraSpecialArgs = {
        inherit profiles inputs lib;
      };
      ...

      modules = [
        ...
        lib
      ]
      ++ extraModules;
...

Module :anon-6' has an unsupported attribute unfix'. This is caused by introducing a top-level config' or options' attribute.

Is there a simple way to expose it to the SystemConfig?

I would not provide it in modules. Can you test providing lib in specialArgs only (also make sure you update your system-manager input to the latest change in main):

inputs.system-manager.lib.makeSystemConfig {
  modules = [
    ./demo001.nix
  ];
  specialArgs = {
    inherit inputs lib;
  };
};

Thank you.

This way it does seem to properly work.

I had some wackiness with userborn and nixpkgs but with some workarounds it did work.
