Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)
Fix#3785
Co-Authored-By: Tony Olagbaiye <me@fron.io>
Don’t explicitely give it a constructor, but use aggregate
initialization instead (also prevents having an implicit coertion, which
is probably good here)
Ensures the logger is stopped on exit in legacy commands. Without this,
when using `nix-build --log-format bar` and stopping nix with CTRL+C,
the bar is not cleared from the screen.
* libexpr: fix builtins.split example
The example was previously indicating that multiple whitespaces would be
collapsed into a single captured whitespace. That isn't true and was
likely a mistake when being documented initially.
* Fix segfault on unitilized list when printing value
Since lists are just chunks of memory the individual elements in the
list might be unitilized when a programming error happens within Nix.
In this case the values are null-initialized (at least with Boehm GC)
and we can avoid a nullptr deref when printing them.
I ran into this issue while ensuring that new expression tests would
show the actual value on an assertion failure.
This is unlikely to cause any runtime performance regressions as
printing values is not really in the hot path (unless the repl is the
primary use case).
* Add operator<< for ValueTypes
* Add libexpr tests
This introduces tests for libexpr that evalulate various trivial Nix
language expressions and primop invocations that should be good smoke
tests wheter or not the implementation is behaving as expected.
Since a26be9f3b8, the same parser is used
to parse the result of sourcehut’s `HEAD` endpoint (coming from [git
dumb protocol]) and the output of `git ls-remote`. However, they are very
slightly different (the former doesn’t specify the current reference
since it’s implied to be `HEAD`).
Unify both, and make the parser a bit more robust and understandable (by
making it more typed and adding tests for it)

I'm afraid I missed a few problematic `git(1)`-calls while implementing
PR #6440, sorry for that! Upon investigating what went wrong, I realized
that I only tested against the "cached"-case by accident because my
git-checkout with my system's flake was apparently cached during my
debugging.
I managed to trigger the original issue again by running:
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "tmp"
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .# -L --builders ''
Since `repoDir` points to the checkout that's potentially owned by
another user, I decided to add `--git-dir` to each call affecting
`repoDir`.
Since the `tmpDir` for the temporary submodule-checkout is created by
Nix itself, it doesn't seem to be an issue.
Sorry for that, it should be fine now.
The previous head caching implementation stored two paths in the local
cache; one for the cached git repo and another textfile containing the
resolved HEAD ref. This commit instead stores the resolved HEAD by
setting the HEAD ref in the local cache appropriately.
