See the note in the test.
We don't want these flags showing up for commands where they are
irrelevant.
Eventually, this needs a proper fix, but it need not be a blocker for
stabilize: for a quick-n-dirty punt, just put these flags behind the
`nix-command` unstable feature.
This is fine because they are only relevant for commands which we don't
need to stabilize for a while.
`legacyPackages` of nixpkgs trigger eval errors in `hasContent`, causing
the whole `legacyPackages` being skipped. We should treat it as
has-content in that case.
I noticed a regression in the lazy-trees branch, which I'm trying to
capture with this test. While the tests succeeds in master, the
lazy-trees branch gives the following error message:
error: access to path
'/build/nix-test/tests/flakes/flake-in-submodule/rootRepo/submodule/flake.nix'
is forbidden because it is not under Git control; maybe you should
'git add' it to the repository
'/build/nix-test/tests/flakes/flake-in-submodule/rootRepo'?
- Try not to put cryptic "99" in many places
Factor out `exit 99` into `skipTest` function
- Alows make sure skipping a test is done with a reason
`skipTest` takes a mandatory argument
- Separate pure conditionals vs side-effectful test skipping.
"require daemon" already had this, but "sandbox support" did not.
Add the --base64 and --sri flags for the Base64 and SRI format output.
Add the --base16 flag to explicitly specify the hexadecimal format.
Add the --to-base64 and --to-sri flag to convert a hash to the above
mentioned format.
Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and
failures more strongly.
- `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables
- `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the
pipeline.
This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not
worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors
undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this.
There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then
search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we
expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline
the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with
`set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the
expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test.
To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the
exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why.
`grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that
function for why.
`grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse,
see the comments on that function for why.
`grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with
`grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.

The release notes document the change in behavior, I don't include it
here so there is no risk to it getting out of sync.
> Motivation
>> Plumbing CLI should be simple
Store derivation installations are intended as "plumbing": very simple
utilities for advanced users and scripts, and not what regular users
interact with. (Similarly, regular Git users will use branch and tag
names not explicit hashes for most things.)
The plumbing CLI should prize simplicity over convenience; that is its
raison d'etre. If the user provides a path, we should treat it the same
way not caring what sort of path it is.
>> Scripting
This is especially important for the scripting use-case. when arbitrary
paths are sent to e.g. `nix copy` and the script author wants consistent
behavior regardless of what those store paths are. Otherwise the script
author needs to be careful to filter out `.drv` ones, and then run `nix
copy` again with those paths and `--derivation`. That is not good!
>> Surprisingly low impact
Only two lines in the tests need changing, showing that the impact of
this is pretty light.
Many command, like `nix log` will continue to work with just the
derivation passed as before. This because we used to:
- Special case the drv path and replace it with it's outputs (what this
gets rid of).
- Turn those output path *back* into the original drv path.
Now we just skip that entire round trip!
> Context
Issue #7261 lays out a broader vision for getting rid of `--derivation`,
and has this as one of its dependencies. But we can do this with or
without that.
`Installable::toDerivations` is changed to handle the case of a
`DerivedPath::Opaque` ending in `.drv`, which is new: it simply doesn't
need to do any extra work in that case. On this basis, commands like
`nix {show-derivation,log} /nix/store/...-foo.drv` still work as before,
as described above.
When testing older daemons, the post-build-hook will be run against the
old CLI, so we need the old version of the post-build-hook to support
that use-case.

Split `common.sh` into the vars and functions definitions vs starting
the daemon (and possibly other initialization logic). This way,
`init.sh` can just `source` the former. Trying to start the daemon
before `nix.conf` is written will fail because `nix daemon` requires
`--experimental-features 'nix-command'`.
`killDaemon` is idempotent, so it's safe to call when no daemon is
running.
`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` use the PID (which is now exported to
subshells) to decide whether there is work to be done, rather than
`NIX_REMOTE`, which might conceivably be set differently even if a
daemon is running.
`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` can save/restore the old `NIX_REMOTE` as
`NIX_REMOTE_OLD`.
`init.sh` kills daemon before deleting everything (including the daemon
socket).
`init.sh` is tested on its own. We used to do that. I deleted it in
4720853129 but I am not sure why. Better
to just restore it; at one point working on this every other test
passed, so seems good to check whether `init.sh` can be run twice.
We don't *need* to run `init.sh` twice, but I want to try to make our
tests as robust as possible so that manual debugging (where tests for
better or worse might be run ways that we didn't expect) is less
fragile.
It would be incorrect to say that the `sourceInfo` has an `outPath`
that isn't the root. `sourceInfo` is about the root, whereas only
the flake may not be about the root. Thanks Eelco for pointing that
out.
- `nixpkgsFor` does all of native, static, cross, and the different stdenvs.
- The main Nix derivation is no longer duplicated for static.
- DRY nixpkgs.lib and lib.genAttrs calls.
Adding a test to ensure there is no regression.
The tests that are split out of `tests/build.sh` are ones that don't yet
work with CA derivation. I have not yet evaluated whether they should or
not.
This behavior, reported missing in issue #4661, already got fixed in
PR #4818, but didn't get a test case then.
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

For frameworks it's important that structures are as lazy as possible
to prevent infinite recursions, performance issues and errors that
aren't related to the thing to evaluate. As a consequence, they have
to emit more attributes than strictly (sic) necessary.
However, these attributes with empty values are not useful to the user
so we omit them.
Previously, getDefaultNixPath was called too early: at initialisation
time, before CLI and config have been processed, when `restrictEval` and
`pureEval` both have their default value `false`. Call it when
initialising the EvalState instead, and use `setDefault`.
Add an `$` at the end of the `grep` regex. Without it, `checkRef foo`
would always imply `checkRef foo.drv`. We want to tell these situations
apart to more precisely test what is going on.
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.
This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.
Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.
The original `builtins.getContext` test from
1d757292d0 would have caught this. The
problem is that b30be6b450 adding
`builtins.appendContext` modified that test to make it test too much at
once, rather than adding a separate test.
We now have isolated tests for both functions, and also a property test
showing everything put together (in the form of an eta rule for strings
with context). This is better coverage and properly reproduces the bug.
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user
profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`.
This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself
(they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to
`chown` them anymore (removing one need for root).
This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is
likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.
Prior to this change, we had a bunch of ad-hoc string manipulation code
scattered around. This made it hard to figure out what data model for
string contexts is.
Now, we still store string contexts most of the time as encoded strings
--- I was wary of the performance implications of changing that --- but
whenever we parse them we do so only through the
`NixStringContextElem::parse` method, which handles all cases. This
creates a data type that is very similar to `DerivedPath` but:
- Represents the funky `=<drvpath>` case as properly distinct from the
others.
- Only encodes a single output, no wildcards and no set, for the
"built" case.
(I would like to deprecate `=<path>`, after which we are in spitting
distance of `DerivedPath` and could maybe get away with fewer types, but
that is another topic for another day.)
Adds a new boolean structured attribute
`outputChecks.<output>.unsafeDiscardReferences` which disables scanning
an output for runtime references.
__structuredAttrs = true;
outputChecks.out.unsafeDiscardReferences = true;
This is useful when creating filesystem images containing their own embedded Nix
store: they are self-contained blobs of data with no runtime dependencies.
Setting this attribute requires the experimental feature
`discard-references` to be enabled.
Without the change checks issue the fllowing warning:
$ nix flake check
trace: warning: The option `nix.useSandbox' defined in `makeTest parameters' has been renamed to `nix.settings.sandbox'.
trace: warning: The option `nix.useSandbox' defined in `makeTest parameters' has been renamed to `nix.settings.sandbox'.
trace: warning: The option `nix.maxJobs' defined in `makeTest parameters' has been renamed to `nix.settings.max-jobs'.
...
First, logic is consolidated in the shell script instead of being spread
between them and makefiles. That makes understanding what is going on a
little easier.
This would not be super interesting by itself, but it gives us a way to
debug tests more easily. *That* in turn I hope is much more compelling.
See the updated manual for details.

This makes 'nix build' work on paths (which will be copied to the
store) and store paths (returned as is). E.g. the following flake
output attributes can be built using 'nix build .#foo':
foo = ./src;
foo = self.outPath;
foo = builtins.fetchTarball { ... };
foo = (builtins.fetchTree { .. }).outPath;
foo = builtins.fetchTree { .. } + "/README.md";
foo = builtins.storePath /nix/store/...;
Note that this is potentially risky, e.g.
foo = /.;
will cause Nix to try to copy the entire file system to the store.
What doesn't work yet:
foo = self;
foo = builtins.fetchTree { .. };
because we don't handle attrsets with an outPath attribute in it yet,
and
foo = builtins.storePath /nix/store/.../README.md;
since result symlinks have to point to a store path currently (rather
than a file inside a store path).
Fixes#7417.
This makes the position object used in exceptions abstract, with a
method getSource() to get the source code of the file in which the
error originated. This is needed for lazy trees because source files
don't necessarily exist in the filesystem, and we don't want to make
libutil depend on the InputAccessor type in libfetcher.
Fix#6209
When trying to run `nix log <installable>`, try first to resolve the derivation pointed to
by `<installable>` as it is the resolved one that holds the build log.
This has a couple of shortcomings:
1. It’s expensive as it requires re-reading the derivation
2. It’s brittle because if the derivation doesn’t exist anymore or can’t
be resolved (which is the case if any one of its build inputs is missing),
then we can’t access the log anymore
However, I don’t think we can do better (at least not right now).
The alternatives I see are:
1. Copy the build log for the un-resolved derivation. But that means a
lot of duplication
2. Store the results of the resolving in the db. Which might be the best
long-term solution, but leads to a whole new class of potential
issues.
This is a really old test case (which was originally written before the
proper Nix syntax). The tested deep comparison behavior was implemented
and reverted soon after due to performance problems, but it has been
restored in today's Nix again (thanks to the derivation comparison
optimization, presumably).
* Clarify the documentation of foldl': That the arguments are forced
before application (?) of `op` is necessarily true. What is important
to stress is that we force every application of `op`, even when the
value turns out to be unused.
* Move the example before the comment about strictness to make it less
confusing: It is a general example and doesn't really showcase anything
about foldl' strictness.
* Add test cases which nail down aspects of foldl' strictness:
* The initial accumulator value is not forced unconditionally.
* Applications of op are forced.
* The list elements are not forced unconditionally.
This commit adds a test covering the discrepancy between parseDrvName's
implementation and documentation (the discrepancy was eliminated in the previous
commit).
I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.
What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.
I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.
This runs the installer in a QEMU VM. Unlike the old installer test
that ran inside a declaratively built RedHat/Debian image, this uses
an image from Vagrant.
`--override-input` id snarky because it takes two arguments, so it
doesn't play well when completed in the middle of the CLI (since the
argument just after gets interpreted as its second argument). So use
`--update-input` instead
I recently got fairly confused why the following expression didn't have
any effect
{
description = "Foobar";
inputs.sops-nix = {
url = github:mic92/sops-nix;
inputs.nixpkgs_22_05.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
}
until I found out that the input was called `nixpkgs-22_05` (please note
the dash vs. underscore).
IMHO it's not a good idea to not throw an error in that case and
probably leave end-users rather confused, so I implemented a small check
for that which basically checks whether `follows`-declaration from
overrides actually have corresponding inputs in the transitive flake.
In fact this was done by accident already in our own test-suite where
the removal of a `follows` was apparently forgotten[1].
Since the key of the `std::map` that holds the `overrides` is a vector
and we have to find the last element of each vector (i.e. the override)
this has to be done with a for loop in O(n) complexity with `n` being
the total amount of overrides (which shouldn't be that large though).
Please note that this doesn't work with nested expressions, i.e.
inputs.fenix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "...";
which is a known problem[2].
For the expression demonstrated above, an error like this will be
thrown:
error: sops-nix has a `follows'-declaration for a non-existant input nixpkgs_22_05!
[1] 2664a216e5

- Don't use `printf` for the expected result, but just use bash's `$' '`
litteral strings
- Quote the `nix` call result
- Invert the order in the comparisons (just because it feels more
natural)
Basically an attempt to resume fixing #5543 for a breakage introduced
earlier[1]. Basically, when evaluating an older `nixpkgs` with
`nix-shell` the following error occurs:
λ ma27 [~] → nix-shell -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-18.03 -p nix
error: anonymous function at /nix/store/zakqwc529rb6xcj8pwixjsxscvlx9fbi-source/pkgs/top-level/default.nix:20:1 called with unexpected argument 'inNixShell'

| ^
83| inherit config overlays crossSystem;
This is a problem because one of the main selling points of Nix is that
you can evaluate any old Nix expression and still get the same result
(which also means that it *still evaluates*). In fact we're deprecating,
but not removing a lot of stuff for that reason such as unquoted URLs[2]
or `builtins.toPath`. However this property was essentially thrown away
here.
The change is rather simple: check if `inNixShell` is specified in the
formals of an auto-called function. This means that
{ inNixShell ? false }:
builtins.trace inNixShell
(with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; })
will show `trace: true` while
args@{ ... }:
builtins.trace args.inNixShell
(with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; })
will throw the following error:
error: attribute 'inNixShell' missing
This is explicitly needed because the function in
`pkgs/top-level/impure.nix` of e.g. NixOS 18.03 has an ellipsis[3], but
passes the attribute-set on to another lambda with formals that doesn't
have an ellipsis anymore (hence the error from above). This was perhaps
a mistake, but we can't fix it anymore. This also means that there's
AFAICS no proper way to check if the attr-set that's passed to the Nix
code via `EvalState::autoCallFunction` is eventually passed to a lambda
with formals where `inNixShell` is missing.
However, this fix comes with a certain price. Essentially every
`shell.nix` that assumes `inNixShell` to be passed to the formals even
without explicitly specifying it would break with this[4]. However I think
that this is ugly, but preferable:
* Nix 2.3 was declared stable by NixOS up until recently (well, it still
is as long as 21.11 is alive), so most people might not have even
noticed that feature.
* We're talking about a way shorter time-span with this change being
in the wild, so the fallout should be smaller IMHO.

nixos/nix#6290 introduced a regex pattern to account for tags when
resolving sourcehut refs. nixos/nix#4638 reafactored the code,
accidentally treating the pattern as a regular string, causing all
non-HEAD ref resolving to break.
This fixes the regression and adds more test cases to avoid future
breakage.

Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by
default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless
it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag.
In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override
`pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands
where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure
eval actually matters).
Closes#5867
- Test that without the XP feature things work as before
- Test that with or without the XP feature `--file file` works
- Test that with XP feature passing a flakeref works
- Test `:reload` with a flake
Add a new `file` fetcher type, which will fetch a plain file over
http(s), or from the local file.
Because plain `http(s)://` or `file://` urls can already correspond to
`tarball` inputs (if the path ends-up with a know archive extension),
the URL parsing logic is a bit convuluted in that:
- {http,https,file}:// urls will be interpreted as either a tarball or a
file input, depending on the extensions of the path part (so
`https://foo.com/bar` will be a `file` input and
`https://foo.com/bar.tar.gz` as a `tarball` input)
- `file+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `file` urls (with
the `file+` part removed)
- `tarball+{something}://` urls will be interpreted as `tarball` urls (with
the `tarball+` part removed)
Fix#3785
Co-Authored-By: Tony Olagbaiye <me@fron.io>
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes#6385.
Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.
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.
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.
The test illustrates failure in issue #5320. Here derivation and
it's built input have identical CA sotre path. As a result we generate
extraneout reference to build input:

hi
Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result
every time they're built. Example:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "impure";
__impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHashMode = "recursive";
buildCommand = "date > $out";
};
Some important characteristics:
* This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature.
* Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on
the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time.
* They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is
moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is
that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database.
* Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In
the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on
impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the
dependency graph.
* When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the
network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed
sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.
The new implementation relies on tab separting the hash and ref (this is how sourcehut does it). This fixes the integration test to use a tab instead of a space.
Don’t try and assume that we know the output paths when we’ve just built
with `--dry-run`. Instead make `--dry-run` follow a different code path
that won’t assume the knowledge of the output paths at all.
Fix#6275
```console
$ nix eval --expr '({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }'
error: anonymous function at (string):1:2 called with unexpected argument 'fob'
at «string»:1:1:
1| ({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
Not that because Nix will first check for _missing_ arguments before
checking for extra arguments, `({ foo }: foo) { fob = 1; }` will
complain about the missing `foo` argument (rather than extra `fob`) and
so won’t display a suggestion.
Make the evaluator show some suggestions when trying to access an
invalid field from an attrset.
```console
$ nix eval --expr '{ foo = 1; }.foa'
error: attribute 'foa' missing
at «string»:1:1:
1| { foo = 1; }.foa
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
Fixes
nix-daemon: src/libstore/sqlite.cc:97: nix::SQLiteStmt::Use::Use(nix::SQLiteStmt&): Assertion `stmt.stmt' failed.
which happens because the daemon doesn't properly handle the case
where ca-derivations isn't enabled at daemon startup.
A few notes:
* The `echo hi` is needed to make sure that a file that can be read by
`nix log` is properly created (i.e. some output is needed). This is
known and to be fixed in #6051.
* We explicitly ignore the floating-CA case here: the `$out` of `input3`
depends on `$out` of `input2`. This means that there are actually two
derivations - I assume that this is because at eval time (i.e.
`nix-instantiate -A`) the hash of `input2` isn't known yet and the
other .drv is created as soon as `input2` was built. This is another
issue on its own, so we ignore the case here explicitly.
- Make sure that it starts even without the `nix-command` xp feature
- Fail if it doesn’t manage to start
This fixes a 30s wait for every test in `init.sh` as the daemon couldn’t
start, but the code was just waiting 30s and continuing as if everything
was all right.
Polling every 1 second means that even the simplest test takes at least
2 seconds. We can reasonably poll 1/10 of that to make things much
quicker (esp. given that most of the time 0.1s is enough for the
daemon to be started or stopped)
The tests are scheduled in the order they appear, so running the long
ones first slightly improves the scheduling.
On my machine, this decreases the time of `make install` from 40s to 36s
diff-index operates on the view that git has of the working tree,
which might be outdated. The higher-level diff command does this
automatically. This change also adds handling for submodules.
fixes#4140
Alternative fixes would be invoking update-index before diff-index or
matching more closely what require_clean_work_tree from git-sh-setup.sh
does, but both those options make it more difficult to reason about
correctness.
The .git/refs/heads directory might be empty for a valid
usable git repository. This often happens in CI environments,
which might only fetch commits, not branches.
Therefore instead we let git itself check if HEAD points to
something that looks like a commit.
fixes#5302
previously :a would override old bindings of a name with new values if the added
set contained names that were already bound. in nix 2.6 this doesn't happen any
more, which is potentially confusing.
fixes#6041
Bundlers are now responsible for correctly handling their inputs which
are no longer constrained to be (Drv->Drv)->Drv->Drv, but can be of
type (attrset->Drv)->attrset->Drv.
It’s totally valid to have entries in `NIX_PATH` that aren’t valid paths
(they can even be arbitrary urls or `channel:<channel-name>`).
Fix#5998 and #5980
if we defer the duplicate argument check for lambda formals we can use more
efficient data structures for the formals set, and we can get rid of the
duplication of formals names to boot. instead of a list of formals we've seen
and a set of names we'll keep a vector instead and run a sort+dupcheck step
before moving the parsed formals into a newly created lambda. this improves
performance on search and rebuild by ~1%, pure parsing gains more (about 4%).
this does reorder lambda arguments in the xml output, but the output is still
stable. this shouldn't be a problem since argument order is not semantically
important anyway.

This removes a dynamic stack allocation, making the derivation
unparsing logic robust against overflows when large strings are
added to a derivation.
Overflow behavior depends on the platform and stack configuration.
For instance, x86_64-linux/glibc behaves as (somewhat) expected:
$ (ulimit -s 20000; nix-instantiate tests/lang/eval-okay-big-derivation-attr.nix)
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
$ (ulimit -s 40000; nix-instantiate tests/lang/eval-okay-big-derivation-attr.nix)
error: expression does not evaluate to a derivation (or a set or list of those)
However, on aarch64-darwin:
$ nix-instantiate big-attr.nix ~
zsh: segmentation fault nix-instantiate big-attr.nix
This indicates a slight flaw in the single stack protection page
approach that is not encountered with normal stack frames.
Unless `--precise` is passed, make `nix why-depends` only show the
dependencies between the store paths, without introspecting them to
find the actual references.
This also makes it ~3x faster
There already existed a smoke test for the link content length,
but it appears that there exists some corruptions pernicious enough
to replace the file content with zeros, and keeping the same length.
--repair-path now goes as far as checking the content of the link,
making it true to its name and actually repairing the path for such
coruption cases.
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.
When we check for disappeared overrides, we can get "false positives"
for follows and overrides which are defined in the dependencies of the
flake we are locking, since they are not parsed by
parseFlakeInputs. However, at that point we already know that the
overrides couldn't have possible been changed if the input itself
hasn't changed (since we check that oldLock->originalRef == *input.ref
for the input's parent). So, to prevent this, only perform this check
when it was possible that the flake changed (e.g. the flake we're
locking, or a new input, or the input has changed and mustRefetch ==
true).
When a variable is assigned in the REPL, make sure to remove any possible reference to the old one so that we correctly pick the new one afterwards
Fix#5706
Previously, when we were attempting to reuse the old lockfile
information in the computeLocks function, we have passed the parent of
the current input to the next computeLocks call. This was incorrect,
since the follows are resolved relative to the parent. This caused
issues when we tried to reuse oldLock but couldn't for some
reason (read: mustRefetch is true), in that case the follows were
resolved incorrectly.
Fix this by passing the correct parent, and adding some tests to
prevent this particular regression from happening again.

If we’re in pure eval mode, then tell that in the error message rather
than (wrongly) speaking about restricted mode.
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5611
When an input follows disappears, we can't just reuse the old lock
file entries since we may be missing some required ones. Refetch the
input when this happens.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5289
When setting flake-local options (with the `nixConfig` field), forward
these options to the daemon in case we’re using one.
This is necessary in particular for options like `binary-caches` or
`post-build-hook` to make sense.
Fix <343239fc8a (r44356843)>
Having the `post-build-hook` use `nix` from the client package can lead
to a deadlock in case there’s a db migration to do between both, as a
`nix` command running inside the hook will run as root (and as such will
bypass the daemon), so might trigger a db migration, which will get
stuck trying to get a global lock on the DB (as the daemon that ran the
hook already has a lock on it).
When running a `:b` command in the repl, after building the derivations
query the store for its outputs rather than just assuming that they are
known in the derivation itself (which isn’t true for CA derivations)
Fix#5328
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.
This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
(making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
of it.
The min bound written corresponds to the date of the commit that
introduced the change, but it only got merged on master some weeks
later. Since the version is essentially the commit date, that means that
there’s a whole range of commits on master (including the current
`nixUnstable`) that have a higher version but don’t contain the required
change.
This fixes a bug in the garbage collector where if a path
/nix/store/abcd-foo is valid, but we do a
isValidPath("/nix/store/abcd-foo.lock") first, then a negative entry
for /nix/store/abcd is added to pathInfoCache, so /nix/store/abcd-foo
is subsequently considered invalid and deleted.
The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from
adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the
collector from deleting store paths just added by another process,
processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain
socket to register new temporary roots.
We now build the context (so this has the side-effect of making
builtins.{path,filterSource} work on derivations outputs, if IFD is
enabled) and then check that the path has no references (which is what
we really care about).
This actually bit me quite recently in `nixpkgs` because I assumed that
`nix-build --check` would also error out if hashes don't match anymore[1]
and so I wrongly assumed that I couldn't reproduce the mismatch error.
The fix is rather simple, during the output registration a so-called
`delayedException` is instantiated e.g. if a FOD hash-mismatch occurs.
However, in case of `nix-build --check` (or `--rebuild` in case of `nix
build`), the code-path where this exception is thrown will never be
reached.
By adding that check to the if-clause that causes an early exit in case
of `bmCheck`, the issue is gone. Also added a (previously failing)
test-case to demonstrate the problem.
[1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/139238, the underlying issue
was that `nix-prefetch-git` returns different hashes than `fetchgit`
because the latter one fetches submodules by default.
If the store path contains a flake, this means that a command like
"nix path-info /path" will show info about /path, not about the
default output of the flake in /path. If you want the latter, you can
explicitly ask for it by doing "nix path-info path:/path".
Fixes#4568.
When doing e.g.
nix-build -A package --keep-failed --option \
builders \
'ssh://mfhydra?remote-store=/home/bosch/store x86_64-linux - 10 4 big-parallel'
this doesn't work properly because this build-setting is ignored.
I changed this behavior by passing the `settings.keepFailed` through the
serve-protocol to remote machines to make sure that I can introspect the
build-directory (which is particularly helpful when I have to look at a
`config.log` from a failed build for instance).
