guix home: no target of type 'home-profile' for service 'home-bash'

guix home: no target of type 'home-profile' for service 'home-bash'

[Dustin Lyons]

Hello,

I had a working guix home configuration, happily importing all of my
dotfiles into the guix store, but a most recent guix pull broke it. I now
see

1) an error due to no 'home-profile' and
2) none of my services to be found and instead a generic fontconfig service
to be built, resulting in a completely empty home configuration.

I've been debugging on my end but am failing to find a solution. Did
something change? I confirmed in the repl that I'm passing a list of valid
simple-service types into my (home-environment). Do I need to provide
something else? I'm new to guix, so any debugging tips would also be
appreciated.

home-bash-configuration and other service configurations accept only
file-like objects (no strings), so to make it work you could use:

(plain-file "bashrc" "# configuration string
# another configuration string")

You also need to change (guix home-service) and (guix home-service
shells) to (guix home service) and (guix home service shells)

That was change in https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=0e8d2df0f1a4ab25c482e1c427c54e19903e62f3

Thank you, everyone, this pointed me in the right direction.

I've had a similar problem.  I expected bashrc to also accept a list of
strings which will be added to bashrc since in the manual [1] it says:

> ‘bashrc’ (default: ‘()’) (type: text-config)
>     List of strings or gexps, which will be added to ‘.bashrc’.

Was this behaviour somehow changed to only accept file-like objects?  I
quite liked the string options because for simple aliases there is no
need for a file-like object. WDYT?

Best
Daniel

Yes, no strings anymore.  Sorry about breaking your configuration, but
guix home still under development as the manual says.  I do not think
similar breaking will happen in the future.

It's already discussed at https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50967 (shortly in
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50967#42 ) and guix-devel mailing list.

Ouch, it should be changed accordingly to the current behaviour.
