Matthew Kenigsberg f86f2b973f Always set valid in path-info --json output
Currently the valid key is only present when the path is invalid, which
makes checking path validity more complex than it should be. With this
change, the valid key can always be used to check if a path is valid

Merge pull request #7600 from obsidiansystems/explicit-drv-ness 2023-02-28 23:48:17 +01:00
John Ericson ea0adfc582 Get rid of .drv special-casing for store path installables
The release notes document the change in behavior, I don't include it
here so there is no risk to it getting out of sync.

> Motivation

>> Plumbing CLI should be simple

Store derivation installations are intended as "plumbing": very simple
utilities for advanced users and scripts, and not what regular users
interact with. (Similarly, regular Git users will use branch and tag
names not explicit hashes for most things.)

The plumbing CLI should prize simplicity over convenience; that is its
raison d'etre. If the user provides a path, we should treat it the same
way not caring what sort of path it is.

>> Scripting

This is especially important for the scripting use-case. when arbitrary
paths are sent to e.g. `nix copy` and the script author wants consistent
behavior regardless of what those store paths are. Otherwise the script
author needs to be careful to filter out `.drv` ones, and then run `nix
copy` again with those paths and `--derivation`. That is not good!

>> Surprisingly low impact

Only two lines in the tests need changing, showing that the impact of
this is pretty light.

Many command, like `nix log` will continue to work with just the
derivation passed as before. This because we used to:

- Special case the drv path and replace it with it's outputs (what this
  gets rid of).

- Turn those output path *back* into the original drv path.

Now we just skip that entire round trip!

> Context

Issue #7261 lays out a broader vision for getting rid of `--derivation`,
and has this as one of its dependencies. But we can do this with or
without that.

`Installable::toDerivations` is changed to handle the case of a
`DerivedPath::Opaque` ending in `.drv`, which is new: it simply doesn't
need to do any extra work in that case. On this basis, commands like
`nix {show-derivation,log} /nix/store/...-foo.drv` still work as before,
as described above.

When testing older daemons, the post-build-hook will be run against the
old CLI, so we need the old version of the post-build-hook to support
that use-case.

feat: read installable paths from stdin
Resolves #7437 for new `nix` commands only by adding a `--stdin` flag.

If paths are also passed on the cli they will be combined with the ones
from standard input.

Cole Helbling 24eaa086f0 nix-profile{,-daemon}.sh.in: Allow XDG_STATE_HOME to be unset
One of our CI machines installs Nix via the official script and then
sources the nix-profile.sh script to setup the environment. However, it
doesn't have XDG_STATE_HOME set, which causes sourcing the script to
fail.

nix-profile-install: show helpful error upon package conflict
Whenever a file conflict happens during "nix profile install" an error
is shown that was previously thrown inside builtins.buildEnv.

We catch BuildProfileConflictError here so that we can provide the user
with more useful instructions on what to do next.

Most notably, we give the user concrete commands to use with all
parameters  already filled in. This avoids the need for the user to look
up these commands in manual pages.

buildenv: throw BuildEnvFileConflictError with more context
At the moment an Error is thrown that only holds an error message
regarding `nix-env` and `nix profile`. These tools make use of
builtins.buildEnv, but buildEnv is also used in other places. These
places are unrelated to Nix profiles, so the error shouldn't mention
these tools.

This generic error is now BuildEnvFileConflictError, which holds more
contextual information about the files that were conflicting while
building the environment.

Robert Hensing 8648ebc2cc Add ./configure --disable-tests option
Building without tests is useful for bootstrapping with a smaller footprint
or running the tests in a separate derivation. Otherwise, we do compile and
run them.

This isn't fine grained as to allow picking `check` but not `installcheck`
or vice versa, but it's good enough for now.

I've tried to use Nixpkgs' `checkInputs`, but those inputs weren't discovered
properly by the configure script. We can emulate its behavior very well though.

Valentin Gagarin a556143dc1 add objectives and tasks for Nix team
so far there were no even remotely measurable objectives, only a general
purpose statement.

this change is intended to focus the team's work on what I (and many
others I talked to) perceive to be the main pain point in the
development process.

Clean up daemon handling in the tests
2023-02-23 18:13:14 +01:00
John Ericson 87da941348 Clean up daemon handling
Split `common.sh` into the vars and functions definitions vs starting
the daemon (and possibly other initialization logic). This way,
`init.sh` can just `source` the former. Trying to start the daemon
before `nix.conf` is written will fail because `nix daemon` requires
`--experimental-features 'nix-command'`.

`killDaemon` is idempotent, so it's safe to call when no daemon is
running.

`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` use the PID (which is now exported to
subshells) to decide whether there is work to be done, rather than
`NIX_REMOTE`, which might conceivably be set differently even if a
daemon is running.

`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` can save/restore the old `NIX_REMOTE` as
`NIX_REMOTE_OLD`.

`init.sh` kills daemon before deleting everything (including the daemon
socket).

John Ericson 5dbbf23332 Make init.sh safe to run twice
`init.sh` is tested on its own. We used to do that. I deleted it in
4720853129 but I am not sure why. Better
to just restore it; at one point working on this every other test
passed, so seems good to check whether `init.sh` can be run twice.

We don't *need* to run `init.sh` twice, but I want to try to make our
tests as robust as possible so that manual debugging (where tests for
better or worse might be run ways that we didn't expect) is less
fragile.
