Do you really mean flakeref?
The usage in help asks for a FLAKEREF argument.
Usage: nh home build [OPTIONS] <FLAKEREF> [-- <EXTRA_ARGS>...]
Arguments:
<FLAKEREF>
Flake reference to build
Here are two examples where I provide a flakeref in the style of home-manager and nixos-rebuild shorthand.
jacob@odyssey ~/d/odyssey (odyssey) [1]> nh home build path:.#jacob@odyssey
error: getting status of '/home/jacob/dotfiles.git/odyssey/path:.': No such file or directory
Error:

jacob@odyssey ~/d/odyssey (odyssey) [1]> nh home build .#jacob@odyssey

Desperately, I try to provide the full attribute in said flakeref:
jacob@odyssey ~/d/odyssey (odyssey) [1]> nh home build path:.#homeConfigurations."jacob@odyssey"
error: getting status of '/home/jacob/dotfiles.git/odyssey/path:.': No such file or directory
Error:

I'm seeing the same thing.
home-manager switch --flake ~/dotfiles/nix-conf/home#dmorgan works, but:
$ nh home switch ~/dotfiles/nix-conf/home#dmorgan --verbose

Is this a problem with what I/we are doing, or is it a bug?
In case it helps, the flake looks like this:
{
description = "Home Manager config";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
nixpkgs-unstable.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
home-manager = {
url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
sops-nix = {
url = "github:Mic92/sops-nix";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
darwin-system-certs = {
url = "/private/etc/ssl/cert.pem";
flake = false;
};
};
outputs =
{ nixpkgs, nixpkgs-unstable, home-manager, sops-nix, ... }@inputs:
let
system = "aarch64-darwin";
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
overlay-unstable = final: prev: {
unstable = nixpkgs-unstable.legacyPackages.${system};
};
in
{
homeConfigurations."dmorgan" = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
inherit pkgs;
extraSpecialArgs = { inherit inputs system; };
modules = [
({ config, pkgs, ... }: { nixpkgs.overlays = [ overlay-unstable ]; })
./otm.nix
];
};
};
}
(I realise that at the moment, the #dmorgan isn't required, but I think it will be when I migrate more systems to this flake. nh home switch ~/dotfiles/nix-conf/home does work. I'm currently working to migrate various systems over to flakes, so may well be doing things wrong).
@deejayem nh doesn't use nh home switch flake#username, but instead nh home switch flake -c username
