To avoid dealing with an optional `drvPath` (because we might not know
it yet) everywhere, make an `CreateDerivationAndRealiseGoal`. This goal
just builds/substitutes the derivation file, and then kicks of a build
for that obtained derivation; in other words it does the chaining of
goals when the drv file is missing (as can already be the case) or
computed (new case).
This also means the `getDerivation` state can be removed from
`DerivationGoal`, which makes the `BasicDerivation` / in memory case and
`Derivation` / drv file file case closer together.
The map type is factored out for clarity, and because we will soon hvae
a second use for it (`Derivation` itself).

We're about to split up `DerivationGoal` a bit. At that point
`makeDerivationGoal` will mean something more specific than it does
today. (Perhaps a future rename will make this clearer.)
On the other hand, the more public `Worker::makeGoal` function will
continue to work exactly as before. So by moving some call sites to use
that instead, we preemptively avoid issues in the next step.
Types converted:
- `NixStringContextElem`
- `OutputsSpec`
- `ExtendedOutputsSpec`
- `DerivationOutput`
- `DerivationType`
Existing ones mostly conforming the pattern cleaned up:
- `ContentAddressMethod`
- `ContentAddressWithReferences`
The `DerivationGoal::derivationType` field had a bogus initialization,
now caught, so I made it `std::optional`. I think #8829 can make it
non-optional again because it will ensure we always have the derivation
when we construct a `DerivationGoal`.
See that issue (#7479) for details on the general goal.
`git grep 'Raw::Raw'` indicates the two types I didn't yet convert
`DerivedPath` and `BuiltPath` (and their `Single` variants) . This is
because @roberth and I (can't find issue right now...) plan on reworking
them somewhat, so I didn't want to churn them more just yet.

`EvalState::mkSingleDerivedPathString` previously contained its own
inverse (printing, rather than parsing) in order to validate what was
parsed. Now that is pulled out into its own separate function:
`EvalState::coerceToSingleDerivedPath`.
In additional that pulled out logic is deduplicated with
`EvalState::mkOutputString` via `EvalState::mkOutputStringRaw`, which is
itself deduplicated (and generalized) with
`DownstreamPlaceholder::mkOutputStringRaw`.
All these changes make the unit tests simpler.
(We would ideally write more unit tests for `mkSingleDerivedPathString`
`coerceToSingleDerivedPath` directly, but we cannot yet do that because
the IO in reading the store path won't work when the dummy store cannot
hold anything. Someday we'll have a proper in-memory store which will
work for this.)

std::move(state->data) and data.empty() were called in a loop, and
could run with no other threads intervening. Accessing moved objects
is undefined behavior, and could cause a crash.
Virtual methods are no longer valid once the derived destructor has
run. This means the compiler is free to optimize them to be
non-virtual.
Found using clang-tidy
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`:
`foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a
derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`).
To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are
very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or
map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the
rightmost `^`.
`NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse
`SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of
`DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with
`SingleDerivedPath` entirely!
Important note: some JSON formats have changed.
We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them
directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top
imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a
second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not
declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan
everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single
command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

This enables nix to correctly report what will be fetched in the case
that everything is a cache hit.
Note however that if an intermediate build of something which is not
cached could still cause products to end up being substituted if the
intermediate build results in a CA path which is in the cache.

When receiving a stream of NARs through the ssh-ng protocol, an already
existing path would cause the NAR archive to not be read in the stream,
resulting in trying to parse the NAR as a ValidPathInfo. This results in
the error message:
error: not an absolute path: 'nix-archive-1'
Fixes#6253
Usually this problem is avoided by running QueryValidPaths before
AddMultipleToStore, but can arise when two parallel nix processes gets
the same response from QueryValidPaths. This makes the problem more
prominent when running builds in parallel.
When loading a derivation from a JSON, malformed input would trigger
cryptic "assertion failed" errors. Simply replacing calls to `operator []`
with calls to `.at()` was not enough, as this would cause json.execptions
to be printed verbatim.
Display nice error messages instead and give some indication where the
error happened.

It was initially unclear to me which of these are temporary state for
the verify paths computation, and which of these are the results of that
computation to be used in the rest of the function. Now, it is clear,
and enforced.
We don't care about non-store-paths in there (things like `.links`, are,
in fact, allowed). So let's just skip them up front and be more strongly
typed.
Will need to do subclass-specific implementations in the next commit.
This isn't because there will be multiple variations of the daemon
protocol (whew!) but because different clients pick and choose different
parts to use.
This makes it more useful. In general, the derivation will be in one
store, and the realisation info is in another.
This also helps us avoid duplication. See how `resolveDerivedPath` is
now simpler because it uses `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`. In #8369
we get more flavors of derived path, and need more code to resolve them
all, and this problem only gets worse.
The fact that we need a new method to deal with the multiple dispatch is
unfortunate, but this generally relates to the fact that `Store` is a
sub-par interface, too bulky/unwieldy and conflating separate concerns.
Solving that is out of scope of this PR.
This is part of the RFC 92 work. See tracking issue #6316
We were bedeviled by sandboxing issues when working on the layered
store. The problem ended up being that when we have nested nix builds,
and the inner store is inside the build dir (e.g. store is
`/build/nix-test/$name/store`, build dir is `/build`) bind mounts
clobber each other and store paths cannot be found.
After thoroughly cleaning up `local-derivation-goal.cc`, we might be
able to make that work. But that is a lot of work. For now, we just fail
earlier with a proper error message.
Finally, test this: nested sandboxing without the problematic store dir
should work, and with should fail with the expected error message.

Whereas `ContentAddressWithReferences` is a sum type complex because different
varieties support different notions of reference, and
`ContentAddressMethod` is a nested enum to support that,
`ContentAddress` can be a simple pair of a method and hash.
`ContentAddress` does not need to be a sum type on the outside because
the choice of method doesn't effect what type of hashes we can use.

- Improved API docs from comment
- Exit codes are for `nix-build`, not just `nix-store --release`
- Make note in tests so the magic numbers are not surprising
Picking up where #8387 left off.
Previously it was not possible to open a local store when its database is on a read-only filesystem. Obviously a store on a read-only filesystem cannot be modified, but it would still be useful to be able to query it.
This change adds a new read-only setting to LocalStore. When set to true, Nix will skip operations that fail when the database is on a read-only filesystem (acquiring big-lock, schema migration, etc), and the store database will be opened in immutable mode.

Pass this around instead of `Source &` and `Sink &` directly. This will
give us something to put the protocol version on once the time comes.
To do this ergonomically, we need to expose `RemoteStore::Connection`,
so do that too. Give it some more API docs while we are at it.
The motivation is exactly the same as for the last commit. In addition,
this anticipates us formally defining separate serialisers for the serve
protocol.
See API docs on that struct for why. The pasing as as template argument
doesn't yet happen in that commit, but will instead happen in later
commit.
Also make `WorkerOp` (now `Op`) and enum struct. This led us to catch
that two operations were not handled!
Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
This is generally a fine practice: Putting implementations in headers
makes them harder to read and slows compilation. Unfortunately it is
necessary for templates, but we can ameliorate that by putting them in a
separate header. Only files which need to instantiate those templates
will need to include the header with the implementation; the rest can
just include the declaration.
This is now documenting in the contributing guide.
Also, it just happens that these polymorphic serializers are the
protocol agnostic ones. (Worker and serve protocol have the same logic
for these container types.) This means by doing this general template
cleanup, we are also getting a head start on better indicating which
code is protocol-specific and which code is shared between protocols.
- Greatly expand API docs
- Clean up code in misc ways
- Instead of a complicated single loop on generations, do different
operations in successive subsequent steps.
- Avoid `ref` in one place where `&` is fine
- Just return path instead of mutating an argument in `makeName`

Rather than doing `allowEmpty` as boolean, have separate types and use
`std::optional`. This makes it harder to forget the possibility of an
empty path.
The `build-hook` setting was categorized as a `PathSetting`, but
actually it was split into arguments. No good! Now, it is
`Setting<Strings>` which actually reflects what it means and how it is
used.
Because of the subtyping, we now also have support for
`Setting<std::optional<String>>` in general. I imagine this can be used
to clean up many more settings also.
A library shouldn't require changes to the caller's argument handling,
especially if it doesn't have to, and indeed we don't have to.
This changes the lookup order to prioritize the hardcoded path to nix
if it exists. The static executable still finds itself through /proc
and the like.

Previously, for tarball flakes, we recorded the original URL of the
tarball flake, rather than the URL to which it ultimately
redirects. Thus, a flake URL like
http://example.org/patchelf-latest.tar that redirects to
http://example.org/patchelf-<revision>.tar was not really usable. We
couldn't record the redirected URL, because sites like GitHub redirect
to CDN URLs that we can't rely on to be stable.
So now we use the redirected URL only if the server returns the
`x-nix-is-immutable` or `x-amz-meta-nix-is-immutable` headers in its
response.

When encountering a build error, Nix moves the output paths out of the
chroot into their final location (for “easier debugging of build
failures”). However this was broken for chroot stores as it was moving
it to the _logical_ location, not the _physical_ one.
Fix it by moving to the physical (_real_) location.
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8395
The `hashed-mirrors` option did use to have this default value,
but it was removed and re-added with an empty default value.
As the autogenerated docs show the (actual) default values from code,
remove this incorrect reference from the docs.
I was updating my nix.conf settings after a few years and noticed this.
Using abstract types like can help cut down on compilation time, both
from scratch, and especially incremental builds during development. The
idea is that `worker-protocol.hh` can declare all the (de)serializers, but
only again abstract types; when code needs to use some (de)serializers, it can
include headers just for the data types it needs to (de)serialize.
`store-api.hh` in particular is a bit of a sledgehammer, and the data
types we want to serialize have their own headers.
This is the more typically way to do [Argument-dependent
lookup](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl)-leveraging
generic serializers in C++. It makes the relationship between the `read`
and `write` methods more clear and rigorous, and also looks more
familiar to users coming from other languages that do not have C++'s
libertine ad-hoc overloading.
I am returning to this because during the review in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6223, it came up as something that
would make the code easier to read --- easier today hopefully already,
but definitely easier if we were have multiple codified protocols with
code sharing between them as that PR seeks to accomplish.
If I recall correctly, the main criticism of this the first time around
(in 2020) was that having to specify the type when writing, e.g.
`WorkerProto<MyType>::write`, was too verbose and cumbersome. This is
now addressed with the `workerProtoWrite` wrapper function.
This method is also the way `nlohmann::json`, which we have used for a
number of years now, does its serializers, for what its worth.
This reverts commit 45a0ed82f0. That
commit in turn reverted 9ab07e99f5.
This is good in general, but in particular ensures when we heavily
refactor it in the next commit there is less likelihood for an
unintentional change in behavior to sneak in.
These items are not templates, and they declared in
`worker-protocol.hh`; therefore they should live in a
`worker-protocol.cc`.
Anything else needlessly diverges from convention. After all, it is not
like this code is only used in `remote-store.cc`; it is also used in
`daemon.cc`. There is no good reason to place it with the client
implementation or the server implementation when it used equally by
both.
They were improperly added in 8a93b5a551.
They were not `.gitignore`d because they were stale in that commit --
build artifacts no longer used that name by then and so `.gitignore` was
updated accordingly.
Previously, we relied on the `shutdown()` function to terminate `accept()`
calls on a listening socket. However, this approach did not work on macOS as
the waiting `accept()` call is not considered a connected socket, resulting in
an `ENOTCONN` error. Instead, we now close the listening socket to terminate
the `accept()` call.
Additionally, we fixed a resource management issue where we set the
`daemonSocket` variable to -1, triggering resource cleanup and causing the
`stopDaemon` function to be called twice. This resulted in errors as the socket
was already closed by the time the second `stopDaemon` call was made. Instead of
setting `daemonSocket` to -1, we now release the socket using the `release()`
method on a unique pointer. This properly transfers ownership and allows for
correct resource cleanup.
These changes ensure proper behavior and resource management for the
recursive-nix feature on macOS.
In other words, use a plain `ContentAddress` not
`ContentAddressWithReferences` for `DerivationOutput::CAFixed`.
Supporting fixed output derivations with (fixed) references would be a
cool feature, but it is out of scope at this moment.
Recently, I encountered the "NAR info file 'xxxx' is corrupt" error
with my binary cache. The message is not helpful in determining, which
kind of corruption happened. The file, fetched with curl, looked
reasonably.
This commit adds more information to the error message, which should
allow debugging and hopefully fixing the problem.
We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of
ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so.
PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building,
will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there
to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we
test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent
from the testsuite diff alone.
Issues:
1. Features gated on disabled experimental settings should warn and be
ignored, not silently succeed.
2. Experimental settings in the same config "batch" (file or env var)
as the enabling of the experimental feature should work.
3. For (2), the order should not matter.
These are analogous to the issues @roberth caught with my changes for
arg handling, but they are instead for config handling.

In many cases we are dealing with a collection of realisations, they are
all outputs of the same derivation. In that case, we don't need
"derivation hashes modulos" to be part of our map key, because the
output names alone will be unique. Those hashes are still part of the
realisation proper, so we aren't loosing any information, we're just
"normalizing our schema" by narrowing the "primary key".
Besides making our data model a bit "tighter" this allows us to avoid a
double `for` loop in `DerivationGoal::waiteeDone`. The inner `for` loop
was previously just to select the output we cared about without knowing
its hash. Now we can just select the output by name directly.
Note that neither protocol is changed as part of this: we are still
transferring `DrvOutputs` over the wire for `BuildResult`s. I would only
consider revising this once #6223 is merged, and we can mention protocol
versions inside factored-out serialization logic. Until then it is
better not change anything because it would come a the cost of code
reuse.
If my memory is correct, @edolstra objected to modifying `wantedOutputs`
upon falling back to doing a build (as we did before), because we should
only modify it in response to new requests --- *actual* wants --- and
not because we are "incidentally" building all the outptus beyond what
may have been requested.
That's a fair point, and the alternative is to replace the boolean soup
with proper enums: Instead of modifying `wantedOuputs` som more, we'll
modify `needsRestart` to indicate we are passed the need.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6311#discussion_r834863823, I
realized since derivation goals' wanted outputs can "grow" due to
overlapping dependencies (See `DerivationGoal::addWantedOutputs`, called
by `Worker::makeDerivationGoalCommon`), the previous bug fix had an
unfortunate side effect of causing more pointless rebuilds.
In paticular, we have this situation:
1. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {a} }`.
2. Goal gives on on substituting, starts building.
3. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {b} }`, in fact is just
modified original goal.
4. Though the goal had gotten as far as building, so all outputs were
going to be produced, `addWantedOutputs` no longer knows that and so
the goal is flagged to be restarted.
This might sound far-fetched with input-addressed drvs, where we usually
basically have all our goals "planned out" before we start doing
anything, but with CA derivation goals and especially RFC 92, where *drv
resolution* means goals are created after some building is completed, it
is more likely to happen.
So the first thing to do was restore the clearing of `wantedOutputs` we
used to do, and then filter the outputs in `buildPathsWithResults` to
only get the ones we care about.
But fix also has its own side effect in that the `DerivedPath` in the
`BuildResult` in `DerivationGoal` cannot be trusted; it is merely the
*first* `DerivedPath` for which this goal was originally created.
To remedy this, I made `BuildResult` be like it was before, and instead
made `KeyedBuildResult` be a subclass wit the path. Only
`buildPathsWithResults` returns `KeyedBuildResult`s, everything else
just becomes like it was before, where the "key" is unambiguous from
context.
I think separating the "primary key" field(s) from the other fields is
good practical in general anyways. (I would like to do the same thing
for `ValidPathInfo`.) Among other things, it allows constructions like
`std::map<Key, ThingWithKey>` where doesn't contain duplicate keys and
just precludes the possibility of those duplicate keys being out of
sync.
We might leverage the above someday to overload `buildPathsWithResults`
to take a *set* of return a *map* per the above.
-----
Unfortunately, we need to avoid C++20 strictness on designated
initializers.
(BTW
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2287r1.html
this offers some new syntax for this use-case. Hopefully this will be
adopted and we can eventually use it.)
No having that yet, maybe it would be better to not make
`KeyedBuildResult` a subclass to just avoid this.

As requested by @roberth, it is good to call out the specific instances
we care about, which is `!` for the RPC protocols, and `^` for humans.
This doesn't take advantage of parametricity as much, but since the
human and computer interfaces are good to decouple anyways (we don't
care if they drift further apart over time in the slightest) some
separation and slight duplication is fine.
Also, unit test both round trips.
More progress on issue #5729
The method trivially generalizes to be store-implementation-agnostic, in
fact.
However, we force it to continue to be unimplemented with `RemoteStore`
and `LegacySSHStore` because the implementation we'd get via the
generalization is probably not the one users expect. This keeps our
hands untied to do it right going forward.
For more about the tension between the scheduler logic being
store-type-agnostic and remote stores doing their own scheduling, see
issues #5025 and #5056.
The warning message should produce an installable name that can be
passed to `nix build`, `nix path-info`, etc. again. Since the CLI
expects that the .drv path and the output names are separated by
a caret, the warning message must also separate the .drv path and output
names with a caret.
However, `DerivedPath::Built.to_string()` uses an exclamation point as
the separator instead. This commit adds a `separator` argument to the
to_string method.
This changes the warning message from:
If this command is now failing try again with '/nix/store/foo.drv!*'
to:
If this command is now failing try again with '/nix/store/foo.drv^*'
More progress on issue #5729.
Instead of having it by the default method in `Store` itself, have it be
the implementation in `DummyStore` and `LegacySSHStore`. Then just the
implementations which fail to provide the method pay the "penalty" of
dealing with the icky `unimplemented` function for non-compliance.
Combined with my other recent PRs, this finally makes `Store` have no
`unsupported` calls!
Getting the occasional SQLITE_BUSY is expected when the database is being
accessed concurrently. The retry will likely succeed so it is pointless to warn
immediately. Instead we track how long each retrySQLite block has been running,
and only begin warning after a second has elapsed (and then every 10 seconds
subsequently).
libutil is a dependency of libstore, so it should always be
initialized as such.
libutil is also a dependency of libmain. Being explicit about this
dependency might be good, but not worth the slight code complexity

99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:
- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note
- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get
