Alexander Schmolck 8d4b6766e2 Convert short nix options to long ones
e.g. nix-env -e subversion => nix-env --uninstall subversion

The aim is to make the documentation less cryptic for newcomers and the
long options are more self-documenting.

The change was made with the following script:

<https://github.com/aschmolck/convert-short-nix-opts-to-long-ones>

and sanity checked visually.

Théophane Hufschmitt e997512523 Fix the printing of the installables on nix profile install conflict
- 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

Reword info on XDG base dirs (#8338)
This gives some more context and should clarify why it works that way.
Also link it from the section on `NIX_USER_CONF_FILES`.

John Ericson 98afd6ff76 Delete commited build artifacts
They were improperly added in 8a93b5a551.

They were not `.gitignore`d because they were stale in that commit --
build artifacts no longer used that name by then and so `.gitignore` was
updated accordingly.

John Ericson bbd7d5de09 Fix some bounds in rapid check instances
`inRange` is exclusive not inclusive:
https://github.com/emil-e/rapidcheck/blob/master/doc/generators.md#usage

Furthermore, use `std::variant_size_v` so we use the right number
automatically.

Finally, make the `switch` assert the discriminant is in bounds as
expected.

John Ericson f7c896cfd8 Dedup some markdown -> C++ big literal stuff in build system
This pattern rule was unwisely hidden in `src/libstore/local.mk`. Now it
is properly in `mk/` and we reuse it for the profile docs too.

Merge pull request #7601 from obsidiansystems/string-installables
Make more string values work as installables
2023-05-15 15:42:57 +02:00
John Ericson d2162e7acd Make more string values work as installables
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

Fix `nix print-dev-env` & `nix develop` with drv paths
2023-05-10 18:01:29 +02:00
John Ericson a93110ab19 Fix nix print-dev-env & nix develop with drv paths
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.
