The registry targets generally follow a URL formatting schema with
support for a query parameter of "?dir=subpath" to specify a sub-path
location below the URL root.
Alternatively, an absolute path can be specified. This specification
mode accepts the query parameter but ignores/drops it. It would
probably be better to either (a) disallow the query parameter for the
path form, or (b) recognize the query parameter and add to the path.
This patch implements (b) for consistency, and to make it easier for
tooling that might switch between a remote git reference and a local
path reference.

std::optional had redundant checks for whether it had a value.
An object is emplaced either way so it can be dereferenced
without repeating a value check
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires
authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request
fails with a 404.
This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API.
It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the
user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header.
The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed
in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.
Directly register the store classes rather than a function to build an
instance of them.
This gives the possibility to introspect static members of the class or
choose different ways of instantiating them.
Otherwise the result of the printing can't be parsed back correctly by
Nix (because the unescaped `${` will be parsed as the begining of an
anti-quotation).
Fix#3989
The change in 626200713b didn't account
for when the number of auto arguments is bigger than the number of
formal arguments. This causes the following:
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '{ ... }@args: args.foo' --argstr foo foo
nix-instantiate: src/libexpr/attr-set.hh:55: void nix::Bindings::push_back(const nix::Attr&): Assertion `size_ < capacity_' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
This was broken in 50f13b06fb. Once
again it turns out that putting a bool in a std::variant is a bad
idea, since pointers get silently cast to them...
The command line options --arg and --argstr that are used by a bunch of
CLI commands to pass arguments to top-level functions in files go
through the same code-path as auto-calling top-level functions with
their default arguments - this, however, was only passing the arguments
that were *explicitly* mentioned in the formals of the function - in the
case of an as-pattern with an ellipsis (eg args @ { ... }) extra passed
arguments would get omitted. This fixes that to instead pass *all*
specified auto args in the case that our function has an ellipsis.
Fixes#598
Fixes#3872.
This is a bit hacky. Ideally we would automatically re-evaluate the
failed attribute iff we need to print the error message (so in
commands like 'nix search' we wouldn't re-evaluate because we're
suppressing errors).
This fixes an error found in builtins.path that looks like:
store path mismatch in (possibly filtered) path added from '/private/tmp/nix-shell.CyXViH/nix-test/filter-source/filterin'
when no hash is specified
If a repo is dirty, it used to return a `rev` object with an "empty"
sha1 (0000000000000000000000000000000000000000). Please note that this
only applies for `builtins.fetchGit` and *not* for `builtins.fetchTree{
type = "git"; }`.
The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that
supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to
actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper
over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes.
This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by
incorporating the following changes:
* Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an
alias on the `fetchTree` implementation.
* Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a
content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the
latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility).
* The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it
usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix.
* Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API
is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should
remain usable without any feature-flags.
* It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a
`ref` or a `rev` is given[4].
* It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol. If it's missing,
`file://` is automatically added as it was the case in the original
`fetchGit`-implementation.

This further continues with the dependency inverstion. Also I just went
ahead and exposed `parseDerivation`: it seems like the more proper
building block, and not a bad thing to expose if we are trying to be
less wedded to drv files on disk anywas.
On nix-env -qa -f '<nixpkgs>', this reduces maximum RSS by 20970 KiB
and runtime by 0.8%. This is mostly because we're not parsing the hash
part as a hash anymore (just validating that it consists of base-32
characters).
Also, replace storePathToHash() by StorePath::hashPart().
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.)
This fixes an issue where lockfile generation was not idempotent:
after updating a lockfile, a "follows" node would end up pointing to a
new copy of the node, rather than to the original node.
fetchTarball, fetchTree, and fetchGit all have *optional* hash attrs.
This means that we need to be careful with what we allow to avoid
accidentally making these defaults. When ‘hash = ""’ we assume the
empty hash is wanted.
follow up of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3544
This allows hash="" so that it can be used for debugging purposes. For
instance, this gives you an error message like:
warning: found empty hash, assuming you wanted 'sha256:0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'
hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/asx6qw1r1xk6iak6y6jph4n58h4hdmbm-nix':

Needed so that we can include it as a logger in loggers.cc without
adding a dependency on nix
This also requires moving names.hh to libutil to prevent a circular
dependency between libmain and libexpr
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the
'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g.
outputs = { self }: {
templates = {
nixos-container = {
path = ./nixos-container;
description = "An example of a NixOS container";
};
};
};
allows
$ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container
Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake
init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the
current directory.
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.
Caches tree in addition to lockedRef, and explicitly writes out the logic for different combinations of cached/uncached flakes and indirect/resolved/locked flakes. This eliminates uneccessary calls to lookupInFlakeCache, fetchTree, maybeLookupFlake, and flakeCache.push_back
The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount,
lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary
what attributes are stored where.
As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like
"info": {
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github"
},
is now stored as
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github",
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher
implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the
API.
Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy
flake fetching started using fetchTree internally.
