Error: cannot coerce a set to a string

[pcboy]

I'm trying to run nix run nixpkgs#nixci on my flake, but I'm encountering this error from devour-flake.

Error: devour-flake failed to run (exited: 1)

It seems it's happening because one of my outputs is actually of the form:

      packages.pythonPkgs = {
        package1 = pkgs.callPackage ./packages/mypackage1/. {};
        package2 = pkgs.callPackage ./packages/mypackage2/. {};
      };

Is there a way to make that structure work with nixci/devour-output? I'm would like to clearly separate python packages in a pythonPkgs key. Is my way of handling this non standard maybe? :thinking:

@pcboy Your package structure is not valid according to the flake schema: https://nixos.asia/en/blog/nix-rapid#packages

So, I'm closing this issue. But you are welcome to join our Zulip https://nixos.zulipchat.com/ and continue this discussion there.

@pcboy I misunderstood the issue. https://github.com/srid/devour-flake/pull/11 should address your case, specifically #8.

But let's continue our discussion in Zulip: https://nixos.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/413950-nix/topic/2.20level.20deep.20packages.20in.20nix.20flakes
