effectVMTest {
  secrets.deploykey.data = {
    publicKey = builtins.readFile ./test/id.pub;
    privateKey = builtins.readFile ./test/id;
  };
  effects.deploy = mkEffect {
    secretsMap.ssh = "deploykey";
    # ...
  };
  nodes.target = { ... }: {
    users.users.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keyFiles = [ ./test/id.pub ];
  };
}

`testScript`
