Tom Bereknyei 1ca3f6035d repl: update docs with installables 2022-05-18 21:21:38 -04:00
Théophane Hufschmitt 65a913d29b Don’t recommend writing unit tests 
As asked in <https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6517#discussion_r869416905>
 2022-05-12 12:02:31 +02:00
Théophane Hufschmitt 7c75f1d52b Expand the testing section of the hacking docs 
- Make it clear what the different kind of tests are, where they live
  and how they can be ran
- Ask people to primarily write unit tests
 2022-05-10 13:35:23 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 4a79cba511 Allow selecting derivation outputs using 'installable!outputs' 
E.g. 'nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static' or 'nixpkgs#glibc^*'.

Tom Bereknyei f25112d383 fix: builtins.toFile adds path to allowedPaths 
The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```

This will still fail on write-only stores.

nix repl: make symlinks with the :bl command 
Requested by ppepino on the Matrix:
https://matrix.to/#/!KqkRjyTEzAGRiZFBYT:nixos.org/$Tb32BS3rVE2BSULAX4sPm0h6CDewX2hClOTGzTC7gwM?via=nixos.org&via=matrix.org&via=nixos.dev

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> ./outputs/out/bin/nix repl
Welcome to Nix 2.6.0. Type :? for help.

nix-repl> :l <nixpkgs>
Added 16118 variables.

nix-repl> :b runCommand "hello" {} "echo hi > $out"

This derivation produced the following outputs:
  ./repl-result-out -> /nix/store/kidqq2acdpi05c4a9mlbg2baikmzik44-hello
[1 built, 0.0 MiB DL]
ckie@cookiemonster ~/git/nix -> cat ./repl-result-out

Théophane Hufschmitt 660c19eb49 manual: Add some anchor targets for the nix.conf options 
For each `nix.conf` option, add an empty html node with a unique `id`
that can be used as an anchor target. Also make the name of the option
be a link to that target so that it’s easily discoverable.

We can’t rewrite the whole list as an html definition list like it’s
done for the builtins because these options also appear in a man page,
and the manpage renderer (lowdown) can’t render arbitrary html. But the
hack here allows to keep the manpage and have the links in the html
version.

doc: Add detailed uninstall section for macOS 
The multi-user installation on macOS, which is now the only option, has
gotten complicated enough that it discourages some users from checking
Nix out for fear of being left with a "dirty" system. Detailed
uninstallation instructions should make this less of an issue.

pennae 00c993f48b add zipAttrsWith primop 
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.

nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.
