Describe the bug

src/libexpr/flake/flake.cc:72: std::tuple<nix::fetchers::Tree, nix::FlakeRef, nix::FlakeRef> nix::flake::fetchOrSubstituteTree(nix::EvalState&, const nix::FlakeRef&, bool, FlakeCache&): Assertion `!originalRef.input.getNarHash() || tree.storePath == originalRef.input.computeStorePath(*state.store)' failed.

This can be triggered by naming your derivation "source" and later import the built result in a flake. This is because a derivation named "source" will not be copied to store when it's imported:

Line 131 in 5f298f7
if (!storePath || storePath->name() != "source" || !store->isValidPath(*storePath)) {

And store paths are computed differently for built outputs.

Why am I doing this?

Because I don't want to create a copy of the input when it's already in the store, it slows down evaluation and take unnecessary disk space.

Proposal

Remove this assertion, and remove the == "source" check as well. Avoid all store to store copies.

Note I somehow can't reliably reproduce this, perhaps due to caching or some other oddities.

Here is a stack trace of the assertion failure:

Do you still have the core dump? Can you grab some info from it?

Here's how you can get debug info:

NIX_DEBUG_INFO_DIRS="$(nix derivation show /nix/store/83ac3g127apfhick95hlrjd5s2wgd5zf-lix-2.91.0pre20240820_ed51a17 | jq -r '.[] | .outputs.debug.path')/lib/debug" coredumpctl debug

then inside the gdb, put the path resulting from nix derivation show /nix/store/83ac3g127apfhick95hlrjd5s2wgd5zf-lix-2.91.0pre20240820_ed51a17 | jq -r '.[] | .env.src' as dir so you have sources for the Lix:

For example, dir /nix/store/fdlsflkgdslglkjg-source

What I would like is to know the output of:

f 5
p tree
p originalRef.input

I am not really sure how that assertion gets triggered. It implies that we can have a fetcher grab an input (and do so successfully) with a different narHash attribute than the one in originalRef.input, which I think is the one in the lock file, without first throwing an error that the hash did not match.

That definitely should be a bug, but I don't know what we can do about it without a reproducer.

I did notice a possible soundness bug in the equals operator of Input, which is that if you have two path inputs with different parent but the same attrs, they will compare as equal, but I am not sure if this is possible to trigger. The inference I can draw from this is that maybe the fetcher cache could have mixed up two path inputs? But this is no smoking gun.

sorry I gc'd and doesn't have the original executable anymore. maybe if it happens again i can get the info for you.

@jade

It implies that we can have a fetcher grab an input (and do so successfully) with a different narHash attribute than the one in originalRef.input

This is not what this assertion checks. !originalRef.input.getNarHash() is false, because this input has a narHash, so it is actually this part that fails:

tree.storePath == originalRef.input.computeStorePath(*state.store)

This is checking to make sure the input's store path is content addressable, which will not be true if the input is the output of a derivation.

And normally nix copies the store path if you use the output of a derivation as input, so the result of the copy will have a content addressable store path. That is unless you name the derivation "source". Basically what I already explained in my OP.

Hm. It's an input-addressed derivation that is used as a flake input? That's creative. Yeah I can imagine nobody tried that yet.

That's creative.

Thanks XD

For context I have a bunch of patches on top of upstream nixpkgs, which is applied with applyPatches and the result stored in nix store. I use the same patched version of nixpkgs system wide, by putting it in registry.json, as well as NIX_PATH.

This works, but every time I evaluate something, nix copies the patched version of nixpkgs from store to store, which is slow, and feels dumb. Then I discovered, by reading the code, I can sort of avoid that by naming the patched nixpkgs derivation "source". Except doing so sometimes triggers this assertion failure.
