Using let neuronRev pattern how to deactivate tests ?

Tracking issue: See #1272 in @rycee's home-manager repository.

Yeah that's expected since neuron pins the all of its dependencies, including nixpkgs, right? That's really good practice too. I guess it shouldn't be too hard to support neuron.override to override either neuron's dependencies or the pkgs it depends on, depending on what you prefer

[Nadrieril]

But if what you want is shorter build times, I recommend using srid's cachix cache

Not sure how to do this, unless you thread dontCheck flag down from default.nix to project.nix to here.

Also, neuron uses its own pinned nixpkgs (actually it is reflex-platform that pins nixpkgs, which neuron uses), so your overlays on your nixpkgs won't have any desired effect.

That's what I meant: we could add a way to thread the overlay down to the pinned nixpkgs version.
Something like neuron.withOverlay ...
