Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. build tests.trivial-builders.references

Build log

$ nix-build --no-out-link -A tests.trivial-builders.references
error: The option `meta.description' does not exist. Definition values:
       - In `makeTest parameters': "Run the Nixpkgs trivial builders tests"
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

Additional context

Building against the master branch commit cee75d2.

nix build -A tests.trivial-builders.references is the instructed way to build the tests by pkgs/build-support/trivial-builders/test/references.nix.

The error might be caused by the attribute meta specified in the above file. I think it's a bug of the builder nixosTest since adding the meta attributes should be encouraged and that the builder should handle it properly.
