nix3-flake-check(1)	     General Commands Manual	     nix3-flake-check(1)

	    Warning
	    This program is experimental and its interface is subject to change.

Name
     nix flake check - check whether the flake evaluates and run its tests

Synopsis
     nix flake check [option...] flake-url

Examples
     *	Evaluate the flake in the current directory, and build its checks:

     # nix flake check

     *	Verify that the patchelf flake evaluates, but don't build its checks:

     # nix flake check --no-build github:NixOS/patchelf

Description
     This command verifies that the flake specified by flake reference flake-url
     can be evaluated successfully (as detailed below), and that the derivations
     specified by the flake's checks output can be built successfully.

     If  the  keep-going option is set to true, Nix will keep evaluating as much
     as it can and report the errors as it encounters them.  Otherwise	it  will
     stop at the first error.

Evaluation checks
     The following flake output attributes must be derivations:

     *	checks.system.name
     *	devShells.system.default
     *	devShells.system.name
     *	nixosConfigurations.name.config.system.build.toplevel
     *	packages.system.default
     *	packages.system.name

     The following flake output attributes must be app definitions:

     *	apps.system.default
     *	apps.system.name

     The following flake output attributes must be template definitions:

     *	templates.default
     *	templates.name

     The following flake output attributes must be Nixpkgs overlays:

     *	overlays.default
     *	overlays.name

     The following flake output attributes must be NixOS modules:

     *	nixosModules.default
     *	nixosModules.name

     The following flake output attributes must be bundlers:

     *	bundlers.default
     *	bundlers.name

     Old default attributes are renamed, they will work but will emit a warning:

     *	defaultPackage.<system> a packages.system.default
     *	defaultApps.<system> a apps.system.default
     *	defaultTemplate a templates.default
     *	defaultBundler.<system> a bundlers.system.default
     *	overlay a overlays.default
     *	devShell.<system> a devShells.system.default
     *	nixosModule a nixosModules.default

     In  addition,  the hydraJobs output is evaluated in the same way as Hydra's
     hydra-eval-jobs (i.e. as a arbitrarily deeply nested attribute set  of  de-
     rivations).  Similarly,  the legacyPackages.system output is evaluated like
     nix-env --query --available.

Options
     *	--all-systems

	Check the outputs for all systems.

     *	--no-build

	Do not build checks.

   Common evaluation options
     *	--arg name expr

	Pass the value expr as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--arg-from-file name path

	Pass the contents of file path as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--arg-from-stdin name

	Pass the contents of stdin as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--argstr name string

	Pass the string string as the argument name to Nix functions.

     *	--debugger

	Start an interactive environment if evaluation fails.

     *	--eval-store store-url

	The URL of the Nix store to use for evaluation, i.e.  to  store  deriva-
	tions (.drv files) and inputs referenced by them.

     *	--impure

	Allow access to mutable paths and repositories.

     *	--include / -I path

	Add path to search path entries used to resolve lookup paths

	This option may be given multiple times.

	Paths  added  through -I take precedence over the nix-path configuration
	setting and the NIX_PATH environment variable.

     *	--override-flake original-ref resolved-ref

	Override the flake registries, redirecting original-ref to resolved-ref.

   Common flake-related options
     *	--commit-lock-file

	Commit changes to the flake's lock file.

     *	--inputs-from flake-url

	Use the inputs of the specified flake as registry entries.

     *	--no-registries

	Don't allow lookups in the flake registries.

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use --no-use-registries instead.

     *	--no-update-lock-file

	Do not allow any updates to the flake's lock file.

     *	--no-write-lock-file

	Do not write the flake's newly generated lock file.

     *	--output-lock-file flake-lock-path

	Write the given lock file instead of  flake.lock  within  the  top-level
	flake.

     *	--override-input input-path flake-url

	Override  a  specific  flake  input (e.g. dwarffs/nixpkgs). This implies
	--no-write-lock-file.

     *	--recreate-lock-file

	Recreate the flake's lock file from scratch.

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use nix flake update instead.

     *	--reference-lock-file flake-lock-path

	Read the given lock file instead  of  flake.lock  within  the  top-level
	flake.

     *	--update-input input-path

	Update	a  specific flake input (ignoring its previous entry in the lock
	file).

	       DEPRECATED

	       Use nix flake update instead.

   Logging-related options
     *	--debug

	Set the logging verbosity level to `debug'.

     *	--log-format format

	Set the format of log output; one of raw,  internal-json,  bar	or  bar-
	with-logs.

     *	--print-build-logs / -L

	Print full build logs on standard error.

     *	--quiet

	Decrease the logging verbosity level.

     *	--verbose / -v

	Increase the logging verbosity level.

   Miscellaneous global options
     *	--help

	Show usage information.

     *	--offline

	Disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-
	date.

     *	--option name value

	Set the Nix configuration setting name to value (overriding nix.conf).

     *	--refresh

	Consider all previously downloaded files out-of-date.

     *	--repair

	During	evaluation, rewrite missing or corrupted files in the Nix store.
	During building, rebuild missing or corrupted store paths.

     *	--version

	Show version information.

	Note

	See man nix.conf for overriding configuration settings with command line
	flags.
