eldritch horrors 609a8e0d94 Merge pull request #9754 from 9999years/print-value-when-coercion-fails
Print the value in `error: cannot coerce` messages

(cherry picked from commit 5b7bfd2d6b89d7dd5f54c1ca6c8072358d31a84e)

===

test taken from 6e8d5983143ae576e3f4b1d2954a5267f2943a49; it was added
previously (and not backported because its pr was a mostly-revert), but
it's useful to have around.

eldritch horrors 512c1f05c3 Unify and refactor value printing
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).

This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.

Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)

Please read the tests for example output.

Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
  `builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
  be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
  command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.

Restore ambiguous value printer for `nix-instantiate`

The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged.
I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate
--eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.

John Ericson f7f37035c8 Move tests to separate directories, and document
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:

- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
  built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
  of Nix proper.

- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:

  - It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
    it needs the libraries.

  - It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
    DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
    with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!

This reorg solves these problems.

There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

John Ericson 30dcc19d1f Put functional tests in tests/functional
I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests

 - Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
   unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
   integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
   clear.

 - Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
   filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
   the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
   structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
   of the files.

With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests

functional/
installer/
nixos/
```

Valentin Gagarin 8fb477a6e7 add path based redirects
up to now, those were managed outside of this repo, which as
unsurprisingly a real hassle to deal with if one wanted to prevent URLs
from breaking when moving pages around. this change removes a large part
of the friction involved in moving content in the Nix manual.

possible next steps for further automation:
- check for content that moved and warn if it's not reachable from
  links that were valid prior to a change
- create redirect rules automatically based on this information

John Ericson 7ad66cb3ef Allow dynamic derivation deps in inputDrvs
We use the same nested map representation we used for goals, again in
order to save space. We might someday want to combine with `inputDrvs`,
by doing `V = bool` instead of `V = std::set<OutputName>`, but we are
not doing that yet for sake of a smaller diff.

The ATerm format for Derivations also needs to be extended, in addition
to the in-memory format. To accomodate this, we added a new basic
versioning scheme, so old versions of Nix will get nice errors. (And
going forward, if the ATerm format changes again the errors will be even
better.)

`parsedStrings`, an internal function used as part of parsing
derivations in A-Term format, used to consume the final `]` but expect
the initial `[` to already be consumed. This made for what looked like
unbalanced brackets at callsites, which was confusing. Now it consumes
both which is hopefully less confusing.

As part of testing, we also created a unit test for the A-Term format for
regular non-experimental derivations too.
