From e38cd5becbbff57951b6a576dd793f4777a9833c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Bauer Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2021 21:22:11 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Always enter first level of attrset in nix search This makes nix search always go through the first level of an attribute set, even if it's not a top level attribute. For instance, you can now list all GHC compilers with: $ nix search nixpkgs#haskell.compiler ... This is similar to how nix-env works when you pass in -A. --- src/nix/search.cc | 11 +++++++---- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/nix/search.cc b/src/nix/search.cc index 9f864b3a4..c52a48d4e 100644 --- a/src/nix/search.cc +++ b/src/nix/search.cc @@ -81,9 +81,9 @@ struct CmdSearch : InstallableCommand, MixJSON uint64_t results = 0; - std::function & attrPath)> visit; + std::function & attrPath, bool initialRecurse)> visit; - visit = [&](eval_cache::AttrCursor & cursor, const std::vector & attrPath) + visit = [&](eval_cache::AttrCursor & cursor, const std::vector & attrPath, bool initialRecurse) { Activity act(*logger, lvlInfo, actUnknown, fmt("evaluating '%s'", concatStringsSep(".", attrPath))); @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ struct CmdSearch : InstallableCommand, MixJSON auto cursor2 = cursor.getAttr(attr); auto attrPath2(attrPath); attrPath2.push_back(attr); - visit(*cursor2, attrPath2); + visit(*cursor2, attrPath2, false); } }; @@ -150,6 +150,9 @@ struct CmdSearch : InstallableCommand, MixJSON || (attrPath[0] == "packages" && attrPath.size() <= 2)) recurse(); + else if (initialRecurse) + recurse(); + else if (attrPath[0] == "legacyPackages" && attrPath.size() > 2) { auto attr = cursor.maybeGetAttr(state->sRecurseForDerivations); if (attr && attr->getBool()) @@ -163,7 +166,7 @@ struct CmdSearch : InstallableCommand, MixJSON }; for (auto & [cursor, prefix] : installable->getCursors(*state)) - visit(*cursor, parseAttrPath(*state, prefix)); + visit(*cursor, parseAttrPath(*state, prefix), true); if (!json && !results) throw Error("no results for the given search term(s)!");
