Extend testbeds with individual GUI applications beyond DEs, offering the
following benefits:
- Preview PRs without changing your real configuration by running:
nix run github:«owner»/«repository»/«branch»#testbed-«application»-«polarity»'
- Unlike local installations, testbeds reset their filesystem between rebuilds,
ensuring each test simulates a fresh installation to identify cases requiring
manual steps for module effectiveness.
- Enhances CI to test that configurations evaluate correctly when a module is
enabled. The extent to which this confirms that the configuration actually
works can vary depending on the upstream implementation of the module.
The application testbeds are currently based on GNOME but could be replaced with
a lightweight compositor like Cage [1] in the future. GNOME was chosen for the
time being due to preconfigured services, such as a secret service [2], which
some applications require.
