This isn't a fully correct fix, but it's much closer to the intended behaviour.
From #3243:
It's an issue with our hand-rolled docs.
Submodules with a freeformType return the freeformType's sub-options in a
_freeformOptions
attr. We remove that here.The reason we do that is because our current docs impl uses attr names to determine page-names, however it is intended that attr names be ignored when rendering docs and only option
loc
paths be used. Thereforeoptions.lsp.servers.type.getSubOptions options.lsp.servers.loc)._freeformOptions.enable
should render with aslsp.servers.<name>.enable
not aslsp.servers._freeformOptions_.enable
:Note that when NixOS renders option docs (and also how we do it in the beta-docs PR), all options are recursively collected into a list, so the attr names are discarded and the option's
loc
is all that remains.
