Basically an attempt to resume fixing #5543 for a breakage introduced
earlier[1]. Basically, when evaluating an older `nixpkgs` with
`nix-shell` the following error occurs:
λ ma27 [~] → nix-shell -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-18.03 -p nix
error: anonymous function at /nix/store/zakqwc529rb6xcj8pwixjsxscvlx9fbi-source/pkgs/top-level/default.nix:20:1 called with unexpected argument 'inNixShell'

This is a problem because one of the main selling points of Nix is that
you can evaluate any old Nix expression and still get the same result
(which also means that it *still evaluates*). In fact we're deprecating,
but not removing a lot of stuff for that reason such as unquoted URLs[2]
or `builtins.toPath`. However this property was essentially thrown away
here.
The change is rather simple: check if `inNixShell` is specified in the
formals of an auto-called function. This means that
{ inNixShell ? false }:
builtins.trace inNixShell
(with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; })
will show `trace: true` while
args@{ ... }:
builtins.trace args.inNixShell
(with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; })
will throw the following error:
error: attribute 'inNixShell' missing
This is explicitly needed because the function in
`pkgs/top-level/impure.nix` of e.g. NixOS 18.03 has an ellipsis[3], but
passes the attribute-set on to another lambda with formals that doesn't
have an ellipsis anymore (hence the error from above). This was perhaps
a mistake, but we can't fix it anymore. This also means that there's
AFAICS no proper way to check if the attr-set that's passed to the Nix
code via `EvalState::autoCallFunction` is eventually passed to a lambda
with formals where `inNixShell` is missing.
However, this fix comes with a certain price. Essentially every
`shell.nix` that assumes `inNixShell` to be passed to the formals even
without explicitly specifying it would break with this[4]. However I think
that this is ugly, but preferable:
* Nix 2.3 was declared stable by NixOS up until recently (well, it still
is as long as 21.11 is alive), so most people might not have even
noticed that feature.
* We're talking about a way shorter time-span with this change being
in the wild, so the fallout should be smaller IMHO.

nixos/nix#6290 introduced a regex pattern to account for tags when
resolving sourcehut refs. nixos/nix#4638 reafactored the code,
accidentally treating the pattern as a regular string, causing all
non-HEAD ref resolving to break.
This fixes the regression and adds more test cases to avoid future
breakage.

Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by
default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless
it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag.
In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override
`pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands
where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure
eval actually matters).
Closes#5867
- Test that without the XP feature things work as before
- Test that with or without the XP feature `--file file` works
- Test that with XP feature passing a flakeref works
- Test `:reload` with a flake
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)
Fix#3785
Co-Authored-By: Tony Olagbaiye <me@fron.io>
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes#6385.
Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```
This will still fail on write-only stores.
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.
The test illustrates failure in issue #5320. Here derivation and
it's built input have identical CA sotre path. As a result we generate
extraneout reference to build input:

hi
Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result
every time they're built. Example:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "impure";
__impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHashMode = "recursive";
buildCommand = "date > $out";
};
Some important characteristics:
* This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature.
* Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on
the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time.
* They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is
moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is
that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database.
* Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In
the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on
impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the
dependency graph.
* When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the
network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed
sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.
The new implementation relies on tab separting the hash and ref (this is how sourcehut does it). This fixes the integration test to use a tab instead of a space.
Don’t try and assume that we know the output paths when we’ve just built
with `--dry-run`. Instead make `--dry-run` follow a different code path
that won’t assume the knowledge of the output paths at all.
Fix#6275
```console
$ nix eval --expr '({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }'
error: anonymous function at (string):1:2 called with unexpected argument 'fob'
at «string»:1:1:
1| ({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
Not that because Nix will first check for _missing_ arguments before
checking for extra arguments, `({ foo }: foo) { fob = 1; }` will
complain about the missing `foo` argument (rather than extra `fob`) and
so won’t display a suggestion.
Make the evaluator show some suggestions when trying to access an
invalid field from an attrset.
```console
$ nix eval --expr '{ foo = 1; }.foa'
error: attribute 'foa' missing
at «string»:1:1:
1| { foo = 1; }.foa
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
Fixes
nix-daemon: src/libstore/sqlite.cc:97: nix::SQLiteStmt::Use::Use(nix::SQLiteStmt&): Assertion `stmt.stmt' failed.
which happens because the daemon doesn't properly handle the case
where ca-derivations isn't enabled at daemon startup.
A few notes:
* The `echo hi` is needed to make sure that a file that can be read by
`nix log` is properly created (i.e. some output is needed). This is
known and to be fixed in #6051.
* We explicitly ignore the floating-CA case here: the `$out` of `input3`
depends on `$out` of `input2`. This means that there are actually two
derivations - I assume that this is because at eval time (i.e.
`nix-instantiate -A`) the hash of `input2` isn't known yet and the
other .drv is created as soon as `input2` was built. This is another
issue on its own, so we ignore the case here explicitly.
- Make sure that it starts even without the `nix-command` xp feature
- Fail if it doesn’t manage to start
This fixes a 30s wait for every test in `init.sh` as the daemon couldn’t
start, but the code was just waiting 30s and continuing as if everything
was all right.
Polling every 1 second means that even the simplest test takes at least
2 seconds. We can reasonably poll 1/10 of that to make things much
quicker (esp. given that most of the time 0.1s is enough for the
daemon to be started or stopped)
The tests are scheduled in the order they appear, so running the long
ones first slightly improves the scheduling.
On my machine, this decreases the time of `make install` from 40s to 36s
diff-index operates on the view that git has of the working tree,
which might be outdated. The higher-level diff command does this
automatically. This change also adds handling for submodules.
fixes#4140
Alternative fixes would be invoking update-index before diff-index or
matching more closely what require_clean_work_tree from git-sh-setup.sh
does, but both those options make it more difficult to reason about
correctness.
The .git/refs/heads directory might be empty for a valid
usable git repository. This often happens in CI environments,
which might only fetch commits, not branches.
Therefore instead we let git itself check if HEAD points to
something that looks like a commit.
fixes#5302
previously :a would override old bindings of a name with new values if the added
set contained names that were already bound. in nix 2.6 this doesn't happen any
more, which is potentially confusing.
fixes#6041
Bundlers are now responsible for correctly handling their inputs which
are no longer constrained to be (Drv->Drv)->Drv->Drv, but can be of
type (attrset->Drv)->attrset->Drv.
It’s totally valid to have entries in `NIX_PATH` that aren’t valid paths
(they can even be arbitrary urls or `channel:<channel-name>`).
Fix#5998 and #5980
if we defer the duplicate argument check for lambda formals we can use more
efficient data structures for the formals set, and we can get rid of the
duplication of formals names to boot. instead of a list of formals we've seen
and a set of names we'll keep a vector instead and run a sort+dupcheck step
before moving the parsed formals into a newly created lambda. this improves
performance on search and rebuild by ~1%, pure parsing gains more (about 4%).
this does reorder lambda arguments in the xml output, but the output is still
stable. this shouldn't be a problem since argument order is not semantically
important anyway.

This removes a dynamic stack allocation, making the derivation
unparsing logic robust against overflows when large strings are
added to a derivation.
Overflow behavior depends on the platform and stack configuration.
For instance, x86_64-linux/glibc behaves as (somewhat) expected:
$ (ulimit -s 20000; nix-instantiate tests/lang/eval-okay-big-derivation-attr.nix)
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
$ (ulimit -s 40000; nix-instantiate tests/lang/eval-okay-big-derivation-attr.nix)
error: expression does not evaluate to a derivation (or a set or list of those)
However, on aarch64-darwin:
$ nix-instantiate big-attr.nix ~
zsh: segmentation fault nix-instantiate big-attr.nix
This indicates a slight flaw in the single stack protection page
approach that is not encountered with normal stack frames.
Unless `--precise` is passed, make `nix why-depends` only show the
dependencies between the store paths, without introspecting them to
find the actual references.
This also makes it ~3x faster
There already existed a smoke test for the link content length,
but it appears that there exists some corruptions pernicious enough
to replace the file content with zeros, and keeping the same length.
--repair-path now goes as far as checking the content of the link,
making it true to its name and actually repairing the path for such
coruption cases.
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.
nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.
When we check for disappeared overrides, we can get "false positives"
for follows and overrides which are defined in the dependencies of the
flake we are locking, since they are not parsed by
parseFlakeInputs. However, at that point we already know that the
overrides couldn't have possible been changed if the input itself
hasn't changed (since we check that oldLock->originalRef == *input.ref
for the input's parent). So, to prevent this, only perform this check
when it was possible that the flake changed (e.g. the flake we're
locking, or a new input, or the input has changed and mustRefetch ==
true).
When a variable is assigned in the REPL, make sure to remove any possible reference to the old one so that we correctly pick the new one afterwards
Fix#5706
Previously, when we were attempting to reuse the old lockfile
information in the computeLocks function, we have passed the parent of
the current input to the next computeLocks call. This was incorrect,
since the follows are resolved relative to the parent. This caused
issues when we tried to reuse oldLock but couldn't for some
reason (read: mustRefetch is true), in that case the follows were
resolved incorrectly.
Fix this by passing the correct parent, and adding some tests to
prevent this particular regression from happening again.

When setting flake-local options (with the `nixConfig` field), forward
these options to the daemon in case we’re using one.
This is necessary in particular for options like `binary-caches` or
`post-build-hook` to make sense.
Fix <343239fc8a (r44356843)>
Having the `post-build-hook` use `nix` from the client package can lead
to a deadlock in case there’s a db migration to do between both, as a
`nix` command running inside the hook will run as root (and as such will
bypass the daemon), so might trigger a db migration, which will get
stuck trying to get a global lock on the DB (as the daemon that ran the
hook already has a lock on it).
When running a `:b` command in the repl, after building the derivations
query the store for its outputs rather than just assuming that they are
known in the derivation itself (which isn’t true for CA derivations)
Fix#5328
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.
This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
(making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
of it.
The min bound written corresponds to the date of the commit that
introduced the change, but it only got merged on master some weeks
later. Since the version is essentially the commit date, that means that
there’s a whole range of commits on master (including the current
`nixUnstable`) that have a higher version but don’t contain the required
change.
This fixes a bug in the garbage collector where if a path
/nix/store/abcd-foo is valid, but we do a
isValidPath("/nix/store/abcd-foo.lock") first, then a negative entry
for /nix/store/abcd is added to pathInfoCache, so /nix/store/abcd-foo
is subsequently considered invalid and deleted.
The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from
adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the
collector from deleting store paths just added by another process,
processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain
socket to register new temporary roots.
We now build the context (so this has the side-effect of making
builtins.{path,filterSource} work on derivations outputs, if IFD is
enabled) and then check that the path has no references (which is what
we really care about).
This actually bit me quite recently in `nixpkgs` because I assumed that
`nix-build --check` would also error out if hashes don't match anymore[1]
and so I wrongly assumed that I couldn't reproduce the mismatch error.
The fix is rather simple, during the output registration a so-called
`delayedException` is instantiated e.g. if a FOD hash-mismatch occurs.
However, in case of `nix-build --check` (or `--rebuild` in case of `nix
build`), the code-path where this exception is thrown will never be
reached.
By adding that check to the if-clause that causes an early exit in case
of `bmCheck`, the issue is gone. Also added a (previously failing)
test-case to demonstrate the problem.
[1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/139238, the underlying issue
was that `nix-prefetch-git` returns different hashes than `fetchgit`
because the latter one fetches submodules by default.
If the store path contains a flake, this means that a command like
"nix path-info /path" will show info about /path, not about the
default output of the flake in /path. If you want the latter, you can
explicitly ask for it by doing "nix path-info path:/path".
Fixes#4568.
When doing e.g.
nix-build -A package --keep-failed --option \
builders \
'ssh://mfhydra?remote-store=/home/bosch/store x86_64-linux - 10 4 big-parallel'
this doesn't work properly because this build-setting is ignored.
I changed this behavior by passing the `settings.keepFailed` through the
serve-protocol to remote machines to make sure that I can introspect the
build-directory (which is particularly helpful when I have to look at a
`config.log` from a failed build for instance).
When `NIX_DAEMON_PACKAGE` is set, make all the tests use the Nix daemon.
That way we can test every piece of Nix functionality both with and

Add an access-control list to the realisations in recursive-nix (similar
to the already existing one for store paths), so that we can build
content-addressed derivations in the restricted store.
Fix#4353
This way no derivation has to expect that these files are in the `cwd`
during the build. This is problematic for `nix-shell` where these files
would have to be inserted into the nix-shell's `cwd` which can become
problematic with e.g. recursive `nix-shell`.
To remain backwards-compatible, the location inside the build sandbox
will be kept, however using these files directly should be deprecated
from now on.
This is needed to push the adoption of structured attrs[1] forward. It's
now checked if a `__json` exists in the environment-map of the derivation
to be openend in a `nix-shell`.
Derivations with structured attributes enabled also make use of a file
named `.attrs.json` containing every environment variable represented as
JSON which is useful for e.g. `exportReferencesGraph`[2]. To
provide an environment similar to the build sandbox, `nix-shell` now
adds a `.attrs.json` to `cwd` (which is mostly equal to the one in the
build sandbox) and removes it using an exit hook when closing the shell.
To avoid leaking internals of the build-process to the `nix-shell`, the
entire logic to generate JSON and shell code for structured attrs was
moved into the `ParsedDerivation` class.

When adding a path to the local store (via `LocalStore::addToStore`),
ensure that the `ca` field of the provided `ValidPathInfo` does indeed
correspond to the content of the path.
Otherwise any untrusted user (or any binary cache) can add arbitrary
content-addressed paths to the store (as content-addressed paths don’t
need a signature).
Similar to the nar-info disk cache (and using the same db).
This makes rebuilds muuch faster.
- This works regardless of the ca-derivations experimental feature.
I could modify the logic to not touch the db if the flag isn’t there,
but given that this is a trash-able local cache, it doesn’t seem to be
really worth it.
- We could unify the `NARs` and `Realisation` tables to only have one
generic kv table. This is left as an exercise to the reader.
- I didn’t update the cache db version number as the new schema just
adds a new table to the previous one, so the db will be transparently
migrated and is backwards-compatible.

confusing compared with `$HOME`, which an upcoming test will be using.
Then, using a fixed location for the test is problematic. Use
`$TEST_ROOT` instead.
This requires adding `nix` to its own closure which is a bit unfortunate,
but as it is optional (the test will be disabled if `OUTER_NIX` is unset) it
shouldn't be too much of an issue.
(Ideally this should go in another derivation so that we can build Nix and run
the test independently, but as the tests are running in the same derivation
as the build it's a bit complicated to do so).
Requires a slight update to the test infra to work properly, but
having the possibility to group tests that way makes the whole thing
quite cleaner imho
This was
- Added in dbf96e10ec.
- Commented out in 07975979aa, which I
believe only reached master by mistake.
- Deleted in c32168c9bc, when
`tests/build-hook-ca.nix` was reused for a new test.
But the test works, and we ought to have it.
This is probably what most people expect it to do. Fixes#3781.
There is a new command 'nix flake lock' that has the old behaviour of
'nix flake update', i.e. it just adds missing lock file entries unless
overriden using --update-input.
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.
When performing distributed builds of machine learning packages, it
would be nice if builders without the required SIMD instructions can
be excluded as build nodes.
Since x86_64 has accumulated a large number of different instruction
set extensions, listing all possible extensions would be unwieldy.
AMD, Intel, Red Hat, and SUSE have recently defined four different
microarchitecture levels that are now part of the x86-64 psABI
supplement and will be used in glibc 2.33:
https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABIhttps://lwn.net/Articles/844831/
This change uses libcpuid to detect CPU features and then uses them to
add the supported x86_64 levels to the additional system types. For
example on a Ryzen 3700X:
$ ~/aps/bin/nix -vv --version | grep "Additional system"
Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux
It's now

The new format is more standard and clickable.
This change is to simplify [Trustix](https://github.com/tweag/trustix) indexing and makes it possible to reconstruct this URL regardless of the compression used.
In particular this means that 7c2e9ca597/contrib/nix/nar/nar.go (L61-L71) can be removed and only the bits that are required to establish trust needs to be published in the Trustix build logs.
For each known realisation, store:
- its output
- its output path
This comes with a set of needed changes:
- New `realisations` module declaring the types needed for describing
these mappings
- New `Store::registerDrvOutput` method registering all the needed informations
about a derivation output (also replaces `LocalStore::linkDeriverToPath`)
- new `Store::queryRealisation` method to retrieve the informations for a
derivations
This introcudes some redundancy on the remote-store side between
`wopQueryDerivationOutputMap` and `wopQueryRealisation`.
However we might need to keep both (regardless of backwards compat)
because we sometimes need to get some infos for all the outputs of a
derivation (where `wopQueryDerivationOutputMap` is handy), but all the
stores can't implement it − because listing all the outputs of a
derivation isn't really possible for binary caches where the server
doesn't allow to list a directory.
Otherwise https://cache.nixos.org is chosen by default, causing the OSX
testsuite to hang inside the sandbox.
(In a way, this is probably rugging an actual bug under the carpet as
Nix should be able to gracefully timeout in such a case, but that's
beyond mac OSX-fu)
Without setting HGPLAIN, the user's environment leaks into
hg invocations, which means that the output may not be in the
expected format.
HGPLAIN is the Mercurial-recommended solution for this in that
it's intended for uses by scripts and programs which are looking
to parse Mercurial's output in a consistent manner.
Although the non-resolved derivation will never get a cache-hit (it
doesn't have an output path to query the cache for anyways), we might
get one on the resolved derivation.
Having vm-test-run-unnamed for all the test derivation doesn't look very
nice, so in order to better distinguish them from their store path,
let's actually give them proper names.

Perl-based tests are deprecated since NixOS 20.03 and subsequently got
removed in NixOS 20.09, which effectively means that tests are going to
fail as soon as we build it with NixOS 20.09 or anything newer.
I've put "# fmt: off" at the start of every testScript, because
formatting with Black really messes up indentation and I don't think it
really adds anything in value or readability for inlined Python scripts.

In particular, this means that derivations can output derivations. But
that ramification isn't (yet!) useful as we would want, since there is
no way to have a dependent derivation that is itself a dependent
derivation.
tar(1) on FreeBSD does not use standard output or input when the -f flag
is not provided. Instead, it defaults to /dev/sa0 on FreeBSD.
Make this tar invocation a bit more robust and explicitly tell tar(1) to
use standard output.
This is one of the issues discovered while porting Nix to FreeBSD. It has
been tested and committed locally to FreeBSD ports:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/nix/Makefile?revision=550026&view=markup#l108
Otherwise the result of the printing can't be parsed back correctly by
Nix (because the unescaped `${` will be parsed as the begining of an
anti-quotation).
Fix#3989
This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a
store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful.
I use this to clean up the build remotes test.
Before, processConnection wanted to know a user name and user id, and
`nix-daemon --stdio`, when it isn't proxying to an underlying daemon,
would just assume "root" and 0. But `nix-daemon --stdio` (no proxying)
shouldn't make guesses about who holds the other end of its standard
streams.
Now processConnection takes an "auth hook", so `nix-daemon` can provide
the appropriate policy and daemon.cc doesn't need to know or care what
it is.
If a repo is dirty, it used to return a `rev` object with an "empty"
sha1 (0000000000000000000000000000000000000000). Please note that this
only applies for `builtins.fetchGit` and *not* for `builtins.fetchTree{
type = "git"; }`.
The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that
supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to
actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper
over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes.
This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by
incorporating the following changes:
* Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an
alias on the `fetchTree` implementation.
* Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a
content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the
latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility).
* The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it
usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix.
* Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API
is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should
remain usable without any feature-flags.
* It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a
`ref` or a `rev` is given[4].
* It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol. If it's missing,
`file://` is automatically added as it was the case in the original
`fetchGit`-implementation.

Originally, the test was only checking for different “real” storeDir.
That’s an easy case to handle, but the much harder one is if different
virtual store dirs are used. To do this, we need the SubstitutionGoal
to know about the ca, so it can recalculate the path to copy it over.
An important note here is that the store path passed to copyStorePath
needs to be one for srcStore - so that queryPathInfo works properly.
This also adds an error message when the store path from queryPathInfo
is different from the one we requested.
We can’t use custom name here because different names will have
different store paths. This is a limitation of the Store API’s
reliance on store paths.
We might be able to get around the above in the future by using a
dummy name for certain fixed output paths.
This fixes an issue where lockfile generation was not idempotent:
after updating a lockfile, a "follows" node would end up pointing to a
new copy of the node, rather than to the original node.
The `remote-store` test loads the `user-env` one to test nix-env when
using the daemon, but actually does it incorrectly because every test
starts (in `common.sh`) by resetting the value of `NIX_REMOTE`, meaning
that the `user-env` test will never use the daemon.
Fix this by setting `NIX_REMOTE_` before sourcing `user-env.sh` in the
`remote-store` test, so that `NIX_REMOTE` is correctly set inside the
test
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the
'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g.
outputs = { self }: {
templates = {
nixos-container = {
path = ./nixos-container;
description = "An example of a NixOS container";
};
};
};
allows
$ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container
Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake
init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the
current directory.
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It
could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they
exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are
pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches).
The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the
definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help
check-ref-format` pages.
This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which
compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.
This makes 'nix flake' less cluttered and more consistent (it's only
subcommands that operator on a flake). Also, the registry is not
inherently flake-related (e.g. fetchTree could also use it to remap
inputs).
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.
Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.
A test case for correct handling of temporary directory deletion that
was added to check.sh as part of PR #2689 was initially disabled for
Darwin because of a directory permission issue in PR #2688.
Now that the issue in PR #2688 is fixed, this commit enables the test
case for Darwin.
Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.
This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.
Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.
Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
Future editions of flakes or the Nix language can be supported by
renaming flake.nix (e.g. flake-v2.nix). This avoids a bootstrap
problem where we don't know which grammar to use to parse
flake*.nix. It also allows a project to support multiple flake
editions, in theory.
With --check and the --keep-failed (-K) flag, the temporary directory
was being retained regardless of whether the build was successful and
reproducible. This removes the temporary directory, as expected, on
a reproducible check build.
Added tests to verify that temporary build directories are not
retained unnecessarily, particularly when using --check with
--keep-failed.
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
This allows querying the location of function arguments. E.g.
builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos "x" (builtins.functionArgs ({ x }: null))
=> { column = 57; file = "/home/infinisil/src/nix/inst/test.nix"; line = 1; }
