Renaming default user

[blm768]

I'm playing around with a basic DevOS configuration, and I'd like to rename the default user, but something seems to be hard-coded to refer to the nixos user. Here's what I've attempted so far:

1. Start from commit 287cb82d.

2. Run bud vm NixOS. The VM builds.

3. Apply the following patch:

   diff --git a/flake.nix b/flake.nix

   -              base = [ core users.nixos users.root ];
   +              base = [ core users.test users.root ];
                };
              };
            };

   -  users.users.nixos = {
   +  users.users.test = {
        uid = 1000;
   -    password = "nixos";
   +    password = "test";
        description = "default";
        isNormalUser = true;
        extraGroups = [ "wheel" ];

4. Now bud vm NixOS fails with the following:

   error: attribute 'test' missing
   
       at /nix/store/37v2bwx9ij1gnm226v7k3ydjm4knz0j2-source/users/test/default.nix:3:25:
   
            2| {
            3|   home-manager.users = { inherit (hmUsers) test; };
             |                         ^
            4|
   (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
   

Reverting the change to the home-manager.users line produces a different error:

error:
       Failed assertions:
       - Exactly one of users.users.nixos.isSystemUser and users.users.nixos.isNormalUser must be set.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

I got this to work with a previous version of the template, so if it's not immediately obvious what I'm missing, I can run a git bisect later when I have more time.

Have you tried changing nixos to test here?

You know, I'm pretty sure I did, and it worked. And then I realized I'd previously done something that messed up all my diffs, so I reverted everything, tried to walk back through the steps, and failed to find the option again. I assumed in my sleep-deprived stupor that I must have accidentally merged stuff from an older version of the template into the latest version or something.

Anyway, I've got this working now, so thanks!
