writeLine will throw a SysError exception, which obfuscates out-of-memory events where the eval worker is killed by the OS.
readLine is suffering from the same problem and will be handled in a subsequent commit.
Currently, not a lot of things expose inputDrvs (except
`show-derivation`), which is a showstopper whenever you want to compute
popularity ranking based on the dependency relation.
Having `inputsDrvs` in the reply enable downstream users to perform such
computations in an efficient way.
Fixes#134
Use the `InstallableFlake` type in order to make use of it's `toValue`
method. This fixes the functor auto-call by including the work from
nixos/nix#6404.
Future work may make use of this object and its methods to employ the
flake based eval cache.
This ensures correct handling of attrnames with a dot in them and will
not throw errors about illegal attrnames.
Additionally this escapes any attributes containing dots in the JSON
output and adds another field called `attrPath` which contains the
attribute path as a list.
Example output:
```
{
"attr": "hello",
"attrPath": [
"hello"
],
"drvPath": "/nix/store/n204jib73z55cp9s0rmw1c5v5q528j7v-hello-2.12.drv",
"name": "hello-2.12",
"outputs": {
"out": "/nix/store/h59dfk7dwrn7d2csykh9z9xm2miqmrnz-hello-2.12"
},
"system": "x86_64-linux"
}
```
This will respect `recurseForDerivations` when iterating over attrsets.
Example expression:
``` nix
{ system ? builtins.currentSystem }:
{
recurseForDerivations = true;
# This should build as it's in the top-level attrset
drvA = derivation {
inherit system;
name = "drvA";
builder = ":";
};
dontRecurse = {
# This shouldn't build as `recurseForDerivations = true;` is not set
# recurseForDerivations = true;
# This should not build
drvB = derivation {
inherit system;
name = "drvA";
builder = ":";
};
};
recurse = {
# This should build
recurseForDerivations = true;
# This should not build
drvC = derivation {
inherit system;
name = "drvC";
builder = ":";
};
};
}
```
