When an hook is defined, a side effect was the creation of the
${notmuchIni.database.path}/.notmuch/ directory by home-manager. If
the Xapian database does not exist yet but this .notmuch directory
exists, Notmuch is confused and throws an error when `notmuch new` is
run (while this should create the database the first time).
This commit changes the hooks paths to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME where Notmuch
expects them (see notmuch-config(1)) instead of inside the maildir
database directory.
It also moves the configuration where Notmuch expects it, but the
$NOTMUCH_CONFIG environment variable is kept for backward
compatibility.
Plugins now accept a "type" element describing the language (viml, lua
, teal, fennel, ...) in which
they are configured.
The configuration of the different plugins is aggregated per language
and made available as a key in the attribute set `programs.neovim.generatedConfigs`
For instance if you want to configure a lua package:
```
programs.neovim.plugins = [
{
plugin = packer-nvim;
type = "lua";
config = ''
require('packer').init({
luarocks = {
python_cmd = 'python' -- Set the python command to use for running hererocks
},
})
'';
}
]
```
and you can save the generated lua config to a file via
```
xdg.configFile = {
"nvim/init.generated.lua".text = config.programs.neovim.generatedConfigs.lua;
};
```
- Add support for command line arguments, this allows arguments to be
persistently set if needed (i.e workaround hardware bugs or enabling
certain flags).
- Document setting a custom package will nullify the `commandLineArgs`
option.
- Fix `mkRemovedOption` assertion from being apply even when the
`extensions` option is unused for google chrome modules.
Watson is a CLI for tracking your time.
Two unit tests were added to validate the module behavior for an empty
configuration and the example configuration.
- The check did not account the default value of `settings.modules` to be `{}`.
The default value was changed to null.
- The `settings.modules` option is now hidden from the docs.
Currently, dot directories and XDG base directories are used
inconsistently in the Home Manager option declarations. This creates
ambiguity for the user as to where the location of the file should be
albeit this is rarely encountered in practice as it is sufficient to
read upstream documentation. The rationale is to make declarations
consistent and make a clear distinction between hardcoded and modular
specifications.
References to ~/.config in relevant nixpkgs modules were untouched as
the location is hardcoded upstream[1]. Furthermore, modules of
programs which do not follow XDG specifications were also untouched.
Generalization of tilde(~) expansions to $HOME were also considered,
however there isn't sufficient rationale despite the use of $HOME
being more universal. The expansion is standardized in POSIX[2] and is
essentially portable across all shells, thus there is no pragmatic
value to introducing the change.

Previously, home-manager would not create a user.js for a certain
profile if profile.bookmarks was not empty but
profile.settings was empty and profile.extraConfig was an
empty string.
