No hm options

[sweenu]

I'm getting the following error when updating the cache:

❯ manix "" -u --source hm_options
Building Home Manager Options cache...
Failed to update Home Manager Options

Caused by:
    0: Failed to perform IO on a cache file
    1: No such file or directory (os error 2)
Tip: If you installed your home-manager through configuration.nix you can fix this error by adding the home-manager channel with this command: nix-channel --add https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz home-manager && nix-channel --update
Building NixOS Options cache...
Building Nixpkgs Tree cache...
Building Nixpkgs Documentation cache...

Here are my channels:

❯ nix-channel --list
home-manager https://github.com/rycee/home-manager/archive/master.tar.gz
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

I am using manix 0.6.3. Have I missed something?

manix uses the wrong search path for recent versions of Home Manager.

manix/src/options_docsource.rs

Lines 107 to 111 in d08e7ca

	r#"{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
	let
	hmargs = { pkgs = pkgs; lib = import (<home-manager/modules/lib/stdlib-extended.nix>) pkgs.lib; };
	docs = import (<home-manager/doc>) hmargs;
	in (if builtins.isFunction docs then docs hmargs else docs).options.json

<home-manager/doc> should actually be <home-manager/docs>.

@mlvzk Are you interested in fixing this? I could make a PR for it if you would like.

Just found this tool and immediately hit this same issue. Seeing as there aren't any commits for almost 2 years, should this tool be considered abandoned? If so, is there another out there that does the same but works correctly?

Fixed in https://github.com/nix-community/manix

Oh that's great news! I totally missed its adoption into nix-community

Yeah, it's still relatively small, based on a fork.
I was the shepherd for it's inclusion, and am taking over as the primary maintainer
