Currently `fromTOML` throws an exception when encountering a timestamp
since the Nix language lacks a way to represent them.
This patch changes this beaviour and makes `fromTOML` parse timestamps as
attrsets of the format
{ _type = "timestamp"; value = "1979-05-27T07:32:00Z"; }
This is guarded by an experimental feature flag to leave room for iterating on the representation.
The primop `builtins.replaceStrings` currently always strictly evaluates the
replacement strings, however time and space are wasted for their computation
if the corresponding pattern do not occur in the input string. This commit
makes the evaluation of the replacement strings lazy by deferring their
evaluation to when the corresponding pattern are matched and memoize the result
for efficient retrieval on subsequent matches.
The testcases for replaceStrings was updated to check for lazy evaluation
of the replacements. A note was also added in the release notes to
document the behavior change.
- If the element comes from a flake, print the full flakeref (with the
fragment part) and not just the reference to the flake itself
- If the element doesn't come from a flake, print its store path(s)
This is a bit too verbose, but has the advantages of being correct (and
not crashing), so it's strictly better than the previous situation
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8284
As discussed in #7417, it would be good to make more string values work
as installables. That is to say, if an installable refers to a value,
and the value is a string, it used to not work at all, since #7484, it
works somewhat, and this PR make it work some more.
The new cases that are added for `BuiltPath` contexts:
- Fixed input- or content-addressed derivation:
```
nix-repl> hello.out.outPath
"/nix/store/jppfl2bp1zhx8sgs2mgifmsx6dv16mv2-hello-2.12"
nix-repl> :p builtins.getContext hello.out.outPath
{ "/nix/store/c7jrxqjhdda93lhbkanqfs07x2bzazbm-hello-2.12.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; }
The string matches the specified single output of that derivation, so
it should also be valid.
- Floating content-addressed derivation:
```
nix-repl> (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { __contentAddressed = true; })).out.outPath
"/1a08j26xqc0zm8agps8anxpjji410yvsx4pcgyn4bfan1ddkx2g0"
nix-repl> :p builtins.getContext (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { __contentAddressed = true; })).out.outPath
{ "/nix/store/qc645pyf9wl37c6qvqzaqkwsm1gp48al-hello-2.12.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; }
```
The string is not a path but a placeholder, however it also matches
the context, and because it is a CA derivation we have no better
option. This should also be valid.
We may also want to think about richer attrset based values (also
discussed in that issue and #6507), but this change "completes" our
string-based building blocks, from which the others can be desugared
into or at least described/document/taught in terms of.
Progress towards #7417

Fixes#8309
This regression was because both `CmdDevelop` and `CmdPrintDevEnv` were
switched to be `InstallableValueCommand` subclasses, but actually
neither should have been.
The `nixpkgsFlakeRef` method should indeed not be on the base
installable class, because "flake refs" and "nixpkgs" are not
installable-wide notions, but that doesn't mean these commands should
only accept installable values.
This fixes a bug in commands like `nix eval' which would emit invalid attribute
sets if they contained reserved keywords such as "assert", "let", etc.
These keywords will not be quoted when printed, making them valid expressions.
All keywords recognized by the lexer are quoted except "or", which does not
require quotation.
fe5509df caused only wanted outputs to be passed to the
post-build-hook, which resulted in paths being built
without ever going into the hook.
This commit adds a (currently failing) test for this.
Previously, we relied on the `shutdown()` function to terminate `accept()`
calls on a listening socket. However, this approach did not work on macOS as
the waiting `accept()` call is not considered a connected socket, resulting in
an `ENOTCONN` error. Instead, we now close the listening socket to terminate
the `accept()` call.
Additionally, we fixed a resource management issue where we set the
`daemonSocket` variable to -1, triggering resource cleanup and causing the
`stopDaemon` function to be called twice. This resulted in errors as the socket
was already closed by the time the second `stopDaemon` call was made. Instead of
setting `daemonSocket` to -1, we now release the socket using the `release()`
method on a unique pointer. This properly transfers ownership and allows for
correct resource cleanup.
These changes ensure proper behavior and resource management for the
recursive-nix feature on macOS.
We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of
ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so.
PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building,
will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there
to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we
test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent
from the testsuite diff alone.
Issues:
1. Features gated on disabled experimental settings should warn and be
ignored, not silently succeed.
2. Experimental settings in the same config "batch" (file or env var)
as the enabling of the experimental feature should work.
3. For (2), the order should not matter.
These are analogous to the issues @roberth caught with my changes for
arg handling, but they are instead for config handling.
