Originally, the test was only checking for different “real” storeDir.
That’s an easy case to handle, but the much harder one is if different
virtual store dirs are used. To do this, we need the SubstitutionGoal
to know about the ca, so it can recalculate the path to copy it over.
An important note here is that the store path passed to copyStorePath
needs to be one for srcStore - so that queryPathInfo works properly.
This also adds an error message when the store path from queryPathInfo
is different from the one we requested.
Substituters can substitute from one store dir to another with a
little bit of help. The store api just needs to have a CA so it can
recompute the store path based on the new store dir. We can only do
this for fixed output derivations with no references, though.
This function was used in only one place, where it could easily be
replaced by readDerivation() since it's not
performance-critical. (This function appears to have been modelled
after queryDerivationOutputs(), which exists only to make the garbage
collector faster.)
Make the printing of the build logs systematically go through the
logger, and replicate the behavior of `no-build-output` by having two
different loggers (one that prints the build logs and one that doesn't)
bool coerces anything >0 to true, but in the future we may have other
file ingestion methods. This shows a better error message when the
“recursive” byte isn’t 1.
Instead, `Hash` uses `std::optional<HashType>`. In the future, we may
also make `Hash` itself require a known hash type, encoraging people to
use `std::optional<Hash>` instead.
The idea is it's always more flexible to consumer a `Source` than a
plain string, and it might even reduce memory consumption.
I also looked at `addToStoreFromDump` with its `// FIXME: remove?`, but
the worked needed for that is far more up for interpretation, so I
punted for now.
For remote stores the log messages are already forwarded as structured
STDERR_RESULT messages so the old format is duplicate information. But
still included with -vvv since it could be useful for debugging
problems.

Fixes#3556
The commit 3cc1125595 adds a `grantpt`
call on the builder pseudo terminal fd. This call is actually only
required for MacOS, but it however requires a RW access to /dev/pts
which is only RO bindmounted in the Bazel Linux sandbox. So, Nix can
not be actually run in the Bazel Linux sandbox for unneeded reasons.
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.
Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.
Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.
This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.
Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.
Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
With --check and the --keep-failed (-K) flag, the temporary directory
was being retained regardless of whether the build was successful and
reproducible. This removes the temporary directory, as expected, on
a reproducible check build.
Added tests to verify that temporary build directories are not
retained unnecessarily, particularly when using --check with
--keep-failed.
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
When encountering an unsupported protocol, there's no need to retry.
Chances are, it won't suddenly be supported between retry attempts;
error instead. Otherwise, you see something like the following:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 335 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 604 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 1340 ms
warning: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1); retrying in 2685 ms
With this change, you now see:
$ nix-env -i -f git://git@github.com/foo/bar
error: unable to download 'git://git@github.com/foo/bar': Unsupported protocol (1)
Sadly 10.15 changed /bin/sh to a shim which executes bash, this means it
can't be used anymore without also opening up the sandbox to allow bash.
Failed to exec /bin/bash as variant for /bin/sh (1: Operation not permitted).
This is used to determine the dependency tree of impure libraries so nix
knows what paths to open in the sandbox. With the less restrictive
defaults it isn't needed anymore.
See documentattion in header and comments in implementation for details.
This is actually done in preparation for floating ca derivations, not
multi-output fixed ca derivations, but the distinction doesn't yet
mattter.
Thanks @cole-h for finding and fixing a bunch of typos.
If you do a fetchTree on a Git repository, whether the result contains
a revCount attribute should not depend on whether that repository
happens to be a shallow clone or not. That would complicate caching a
lot and would be semantically messy. So applying fetchTree/fetchGit to
a shallow repository is now an error unless you pass the attribute
'shallow = true'. If 'shallow = true', we don't return revCount, even
if the repository is not actually shallow.
Note that Nix itself is not doing shallow clones at the moment. But it
could do so as an optimisation if the user specifies 'shallow = true'.
Issue #2988.
Today's fixed output derivations and regular derivations differ in a few
ways which are largely orthogonal. This replaces `isFixedOutput` with a
`type` that returns an enum of possible combinations.
In
nix-instantiate --dry-run '<nixpkgs/nixos/release-combined.nix>' -A nixos.tests.simple.x86_64-linux
this reduces time spent in unparse() from 9.15% to 4.31%. The main
culprit was appending characters one at a time to the destination
string. Even though the string has enough capacity, push_back() still
needs to check this on every call.
Worktrees[1] are a feature of git which allow you to check out a ref in
a different directory.
While playing around with flakes I realized that git repositories in a
worktree checkout break when trying to build a flake:
```
$ git worktree add ../nixpkgs-flakes nixpkgs-flakes
$ cd ../nixpkgs-flakes
$ nix build .#hello
error: opening directory '/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs-flakes/.git/refs/heads': Not a directory
```
This issue has been fixed by determining with `git rev-parse --git-common-dir`
where the actual `.git` directory is.
Please note that this issue only exists on the `flakes` branch, fetching
worktree checkouts with Nix master seems to work fine.

The ssh client is lazily started by the first worker thread, that
requires a ssh connection. To avoid the ssh client to be killed, when
the worker process is stopped, do not set PR_SET_PDEATHSIG.
Brings the functionality of ssh-ng:// in sync with the legacy ssh://
implementation. Specifying the remote store uri enables various useful
things. eg.
$ nix copy --to ssh-ng://cache?remote-store=file://mnt/cache --all
When computing a lock file, we now respect the lock files of flake
inputs. This is important for usability / reproducibility. For
example, the 'nixops' flake depends on the 'nixops-aws' and
'nixops-hetzner' repositories. So when the 'nixops' flake is used in
another flake, we want the versions of 'nixops-aws' and
'nixops-hetzner' locked by the the 'nixops' flake because those
presumably have been tested.
This can lead to a proliferation of versions of flakes like 'nixpkgs'
(since every flake's lock file could depend on a different version of
'nixpkgs'). This is not a major issue when using Nixpkgs overlays or
NixOS modules, since then the top-level flake composes those
overlays/modules into *its* version of Nixpkgs and all other versions
are ignored. Lock file computation has been made a bit more lazy so it
won't try to fetch all those versions of 'nixpkgs'.
However, in case it's necessary to minimize flake versions, there now
are two input attributes that allow this. First, you can copy an input
from another flake, as follows:
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "dwarffs/nixpkgs";
This states that the calling flake's 'nixpkgs' input shall be the same
as the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input.
Second, you can override inputs of inputs:
inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>;
inputs.nixops.inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>;
or equivalently, using 'follows':
inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>;
inputs.nixops.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
This states that the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'nixops' input shall be
the same as the calling flake's 'nixpkgs' input.
Finally, at '-v' Nix now prints the changes to the lock file, e.g.
$ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard
inputs of flake 'git+file:///home/eelco/Misc/eelco-configurations?subdir=hagbard' changed:
updated 'nixpkgs': 'github:edolstra/nixpkgs/7845bf5f4b3013df1cf036e9c9c3a55a30331db9' -> 'github:edolstra/nixpkgs/03f3def66a104a221aac8b751eeb7075374848fd'
removed 'nixops'
removed 'nixops/nixops-aws'
removed 'nixops/nixops-hetzner'
removed 'nixops/nixpkgs'

Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash

Fixes#3264.
If the `throw` is reached, this means that execvp into `ssh` wasn’t
successful. We can hint at a usual problem, which is a missing `ssh`
executable.
Test with:
```
env PATH= ./result/bin/nix-copy-closure --builders '' unusedhost
```
and the bash version with
```
env PATH= ./result/bin/nix-copy-closure --builders '' localhost
```
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.
Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.
Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
Also, fetchGit now runs in O(1) memory since we pipe the output of
'git archive' directly into unpackTarball() (rather than first reading
it all into memory).
We can now convert Rust Errors to C++ exceptions. At the Rust->C++ FFI
boundary, Result<T, Error> will cause Error to be converted to and
thrown as a C++ exception.
E.g.
$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello --experimental-features no-url-literals
error: URL literals are disabled, at /nix/store/vsjamkzh15r3c779q2711az826hqgvzr-nixpkgs-20.03pre194957.bef773ed53f/nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix:1236:11

A corrupt entry in .links prevents adding a fixed version of that file
to the store in any path. The user experience is that corruption
present in the store 'spreads' to new paths added to the store:
(With store optimisation enabled)
1. A file in the store gets corrupted somehow (eg: filesystem bug).
2. The user tries to add a thing to the store which contains a good copy
of the corrupted file.
3. The file being added to the store is hashed, found to match the bad
.links entry, and is replaced by a link to the bad .links entry.
(The .links entry's hash is not verified during add -- this would
impose a substantial performance burden.)
4. The user observes that the thing in the store that is supposed to be
a copy of what they were trying to add is not a correct copy -- some
files have different contents! Running "nix-store --verify
--check-contents --repair" does not fix the problem.
This change makes "nix-store --verify --check-contents --repair" fix
this problem. Bad .links entries are simply removed, allowing future
attempts to insert a good copy of the file to succeed.
