Hi,

the example present in the 11.1 section of the guix manual ((guix)
Declaring the Home Environment) uses a list of strings in the
bash-profile field of home-bash-configuration, which is incorrect, 
as it
expects a list of file-like objects.

The example is as follows:

 (use-modules (gnu home)
              (gnu home services)
              (gnu home services shells)
              (gnu services)
              (gnu packages admin)
              (guix gexp))
 
 
 (home-environment
  (packages (list htop))
  (services
   (list
    (service home-bash-service-type
             (home-bash-configuration
              (guix-defaults? #t)
              (bash-profile '("\
 export HISTFILE=$XDG_CACHE_HOME/.bash_history"))))
 
    (simple-service 'test-config
                    home-files-service-type
                    (list `("config/test.conf"
                            ,(plain-file "tmp-file.txt"
                                         "the content of 
                                         ~/.config/test.conf")))))))

Running "guix home build" with a file containing this returns this 
error:

 failed with exit code 1

I believe it should be changed to something like this:

 (use-modules (gnu home)
              (gnu home services)
              (gnu home services shells)
              (gnu services)
              (gnu packages admin)
              (guix gexp))
 
 
 (home-environment
  (packages (list htop))
  (services
   (list
    (service home-bash-service-type
             (home-bash-configuration
              (guix-defaults? #t)
              (bash-profile (list (plain-file "bash-profile" "\
 export HISTFILE=$XDG_CACHE_HOME/.bash_history")))))
 
    (simple-service 'test-config
                    home-files-service-type
                    (list `("config/test.conf"
                            ,(plain-file "tmp-file.txt"
                                         "the content of 
                                         ~/.config/test.conf")))))))

This manages to build correctly.

Greetings,
Luis
