using divnix/hive and importing this module will seemingly always lead to infinite recursion

[DrTeagle]

Howdy, it seems to me that using hive and the latest version of stylix is impossible as soon as I import the stylix module in homeProfiles or homeModules it leads to infinte recursion. Is anybody else stupid enough to try and get hive working experiencing this issue?

Importing it via home-manager works just fine, there is an example here (mind, not mine!, and abandoned): https://github.com/Lord-Valen/configuration.nix/blob/master/old/comb/lord-valen/homeProfiles/stylix/default.nix

I get the infinite recursion when I am trying to load it as NixOS module:

… while evaluating the module argument `config' in "/nix/store/2h89nf57n50969ky41y4lxy44aiddnnz-source/stylix/overlays.nix":

       … if you get an infinite recursion here, you probably reference `config` in `imports`. If you are trying to achieve a conditional import behavior dependent on `config`, consider importing unconditionally, and using `mkEnableOption` and `mkIf` to control its effect.

       (stack trace truncated; use '--show-trace' to show the full, detailed trace)

       error: infinite recursion encountered

Probably due to hive magic which breaks with the overlay definition in stylix? :/

I have this config(though I have yet to push it recent changes):

https://github.com/DockterTeagle/myNixOS/tree/std

and if I import it either via home-manager standalone or nix-os it leads to that exact error

Do you get any better off if you make the stylix/overlays.nix kind of a stub (i.e. patch the repo), so

{
  lib,
  ...
}:
{
  options.stylix.overlays.enable = lib.mkEnableOption "packages via overlays";
}

?

After this, also the disabledModules brought me a little bit further (when you use stylix); but finally decided to just be happy with having the home-manager config:

  disabledModules = map (nm: "${inputs.stylix}/modules/${nm}/nixos.nix") [ "grub" "neovim" "qt" "gnome"

I am not sure, but there is some cleaning of the modules required; there are some notes on how it should be done. I just don't have the time to dive into this...

Yeah I kind of gave up as well. That's why it's a branch lol.

Is this a Stylix or Hive issue? From a quick search I am unable to gather any real information about the project, except for the following suspicious declarations:

    // {
      /*
      Modules declare an interface into a problem domain
      */
      darwinModules = throw "not implemented yet";
      nixosModules = throw "not implemented yet";
      homeModules = throw "not implemented yet";
      shellModules = throw "not implemented yet";
      /*
      Profiles define values on that interface
      */
      hardwareProfiles = throw "not implemented yet";
      darwinProfiles = throw "not implemented yet";
      nixosProfiles = throw "not implemented yet";
      homeProfiles = throw "not implemented yet";
      shellProfiles = throw "not implemented yet";
      /*
      Suites aggregate profiles into groups
      */
      darwinSuites = throw "not implemented yet";
      nixosSuites = throw "not implemented yet";
      homeSuites = throw "not implemented yet";
      shellSuites = throw "not implemented yet";
    };

-- github:divnix/hive, /src/collect.nix:8

A reproducible example would be great.
