Hi, I have the following dotfiles directory structure where I store my Guix home config:
|-etc | |-subdir | | | |-home I often use the 'local-file' procedure in modules in the home directory. For example in /subdir/home/shells.scm: #+begin_src scheme :scheme guile :season guile (simple-service 'add-zsh-files home-files-service-type `(("config/zsh/zshrc" ,(local-file "../../etc/zsh/zshrc")))) #+end_src And it works, as expected. The following example also worked before the 076e825dc5d585943ce820a279fffe4af09757fb (gnu: guile: Add version 3.0.8 as 'guile-3.0-latest') commit. in /subdir/home/wm.scm: #+begin_src scheme :scheme guile :season guile (service home-rofi-service-type (home-rofi-configuration (config-rasi `(,#~(format #f "@theme \"~a\"" #$(local-file "../../etc/rofi/nord.rasi")))))) #+end_src After 076e825dc5d585943ce820a279fffe4af09757fb using (local-file "../../etc/rofi/nord.rasi") and not (local-file "etc/rofi/nord.rasi") causes an error: guix home: error: canonicalize-path: No such file or directory: "../../etc/rofi/nord.rasi". The example that causes the error uses the original Guix home implementation, which uses gexps. When I figure out how to make a minimal reproducer that does not depend on it, I will update this report. -- Best regards, Aleksandr Vityazev
