User creation error on installation

[herberteuler]

I had this issue during installation:

creating user nixbld9...
<main> attribute status: eDSRecordAlreadyExists
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14135 (eDSRecordAlreadyExists)

which was because user id 30009 was already taken by another user.

I have the same issue, how can it be fixed?

[herberteuler]

@maelp I simply manually created the user with another id. The issue was submitted as a reminder to create a patch for the user creation code. I may write a patch if I had time.

[maelp]

You created it with the System Preferences app?

[herberteuler]

No, by using the same command-line tool in the script but providing a manually filled id.

[maelp]

I'm not sure which command-line tool it is, could you show me the command you are using?

The code seems to have been changed a lot since the issue was submitted, but it looks like this is the code you are looking for: https://github.com/LnL7/nix-darwin/blob/master/modules/users/default.nix#L155
