defined nixci jobs in flake outputs not working

[tgunnoe]

Maybe I've read the docs incorrectly, but I thought I should be able to do this:

nixci = {
  builds = with inputs.self; {
    inherit packages devShells apps;
  };
  tests = with inputs.self; {inherit checks;};
};

nixci build .#tests

Error: Command error: Process exited unsuccessfully. exit_code=Some(1) stderr=warning: Git tree '/home//src/project' is dirty
error: flake 'git+file:///home/src/project' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.nixci.tests', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.nixci.tests' or 'nixci.tests'


Caused by:
    Process exited unsuccessfully. exit_code=Some(1) stderr=warning: Git tree '/home/src/project' is dirty
    error: flake 'git+file:///home/src/project' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.nixci.tests', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.nixci.tests' or 'nixci.tests'

I can't reference directly either:

nixci build .#nixci.x86_64-linux.tests
Error: Invalid flake URL (too many nested attr): .

Not sure what you are trying to do. You don't need any nixci configuration for just building your top-level flake outputs. An explicit configuration would look like this:

{
  nixci.default = {
    "root".dir = ./.;
  };
}

(But that's the default anyway, when a nixci config is lacking).

I am trying to exclude particular outputs, without having to explicitly define all of the ones I want. eg nixci build .#packages.x86_64-linux.a .#devShells.x86_64-linux.b .#c .#e ...
First time using the config

The config is for specifying which sub-flakes to build (see example), and not which flake outputs to build.

nixci will build all flake outputs. There is (currently) no way to blacklist that. You can however whitelist systems, like here.

ok thanks buddy. Maybe i'll look at a PR for blacklisting outputs if you're interested.
