When the `keep-going` option is set to `true`, make `nix flake check` continue as much as it can before failing. The UI isn’t perfect as-it-is as all the lines currently start with a mostly useless `error (ignored): error:` prefix, but I’m not sure what the best output would be, so I’ll leave it as-it-is for the time being (This is a bit hijacking the `keep-going` flag as it’s supposed to be a build-time only thing. But I think it’s faire to reuse it here). Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4450

# Examples
|
|
|
|
* Evaluate the flake in the current directory, and build its checks:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix flake check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Verify that the `patchelf` flake evaluates, but don't build its
|
|
checks:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
# nix flake check --no-build github:NixOS/patchelf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Description
|
|
|
|
This command verifies that the flake specified by flake reference
|
|
*flake-url* can be evaluated successfully (as detailed below), and
|
|
that the derivations specified by the flake's `checks` output can be
|
|
built successfully.
|
|
|
|
If the `keep-going` option is set to `true`, Nix will keep evaluating as much as it can and report the errors as it encounters them. Otherise it will stop at the first error.
|
|
|
|
# Evaluation checks
|
|
|
|
The following flake output attributes must be derivations:
|
|
|
|
* `checks.`*system*`.`*name*
|
|
* `defaultPackage.`*system*`
|
|
* `devShell.`*system*`
|
|
* `nixosConfigurations.`*name*`.config.system.build.toplevel
|
|
* `packages.`*system*`.`*name*
|
|
|
|
The following flake output attributes must be [app
|
|
definitions](./nix3-run.md):
|
|
|
|
* `apps.`*system*`.`*name*
|
|
* `defaultApp.`*system*`
|
|
|
|
The following flake output attributes must be [template
|
|
definitions](./nix3-flake-init.md):
|
|
|
|
* `defaultTemplate`
|
|
* `templates`.`*name*
|
|
|
|
The following flake output attributes must be *Nixpkgs overlays*:
|
|
|
|
* `overlay`
|
|
* `overlays`.`*name*
|
|
|
|
The following flake output attributes must be *NixOS modules*:
|
|
|
|
* `nixosModule`
|
|
* `nixosModules`.`*name*
|
|
|
|
The following flake output attributes must be
|
|
[bundlers](./nix3-bundle.md):
|
|
|
|
* `bundlers`.`*name*
|
|
* `defaultBundler`
|
|
|
|
In addition, the `hydraJobs` output is evaluated in the same way as
|
|
Hydra's `hydra-eval-jobs` (i.e. as a arbitrarily deeply nested
|
|
attribute set of derivations). Similarly, the
|
|
`legacyPackages`.*system* output is evaluated like `nix-env -qa`.
