Without setting HGPLAIN, the user's environment leaks into
hg invocations, which means that the output may not be in the
expected format.
HGPLAIN is the Mercurial-recommended solution for this in that
it's intended for uses by scripts and programs which are looking
to parse Mercurial's output in a consistent manner.
Although the non-resolved derivation will never get a cache-hit (it
doesn't have an output path to query the cache for anyways), we might
get one on the resolved derivation.
Having vm-test-run-unnamed for all the test derivation doesn't look very
nice, so in order to better distinguish them from their store path,
let's actually give them proper names.

Perl-based tests are deprecated since NixOS 20.03 and subsequently got
removed in NixOS 20.09, which effectively means that tests are going to
fail as soon as we build it with NixOS 20.09 or anything newer.
I've put "# fmt: off" at the start of every testScript, because
formatting with Black really messes up indentation and I don't think it
really adds anything in value or readability for inlined Python scripts.

tar(1) on FreeBSD does not use standard output or input when the -f flag
is not provided. Instead, it defaults to /dev/sa0 on FreeBSD.
Make this tar invocation a bit more robust and explicitly tell tar(1) to
use standard output.
This is one of the issues discovered while porting Nix to FreeBSD. It has
been tested and committed locally to FreeBSD ports:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/nix/Makefile?revision=550026&view=markup#l108
Otherwise the result of the printing can't be parsed back correctly by
Nix (because the unescaped `${` will be parsed as the begining of an
anti-quotation).
Fix#3989
This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a
store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful.
I use this to clean up the build remotes test.
Before, processConnection wanted to know a user name and user id, and
`nix-daemon --stdio`, when it isn't proxying to an underlying daemon,
would just assume "root" and 0. But `nix-daemon --stdio` (no proxying)
shouldn't make guesses about who holds the other end of its standard
streams.
Now processConnection takes an "auth hook", so `nix-daemon` can provide
the appropriate policy and daemon.cc doesn't need to know or care what
it is.
If a repo is dirty, it used to return a `rev` object with an "empty"
sha1 (0000000000000000000000000000000000000000). Please note that this
only applies for `builtins.fetchGit` and *not* for `builtins.fetchTree{
type = "git"; }`.
The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that
supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to
actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper
over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes.
This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by
incorporating the following changes:
* Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an
alias on the `fetchTree` implementation.
* Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a
content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the
latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility).
* The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it
usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix.
* Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API
is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should
remain usable without any feature-flags.
* It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a
`ref` or a `rev` is given[4].
* It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol. If it's missing,
`file://` is automatically added as it was the case in the original
`fetchGit`-implementation.

Originally, the test was only checking for different “real” storeDir.
That’s an easy case to handle, but the much harder one is if different
virtual store dirs are used. To do this, we need the SubstitutionGoal
to know about the ca, so it can recalculate the path to copy it over.
An important note here is that the store path passed to copyStorePath
needs to be one for srcStore - so that queryPathInfo works properly.
This also adds an error message when the store path from queryPathInfo
is different from the one we requested.
We can’t use custom name here because different names will have
different store paths. This is a limitation of the Store API’s
reliance on store paths.
We might be able to get around the above in the future by using a
dummy name for certain fixed output paths.
This fixes an issue where lockfile generation was not idempotent:
after updating a lockfile, a "follows" node would end up pointing to a
new copy of the node, rather than to the original node.
The `remote-store` test loads the `user-env` one to test nix-env when
using the daemon, but actually does it incorrectly because every test
starts (in `common.sh`) by resetting the value of `NIX_REMOTE`, meaning
that the `user-env` test will never use the daemon.
Fix this by setting `NIX_REMOTE_` before sourcing `user-env.sh` in the
`remote-store` test, so that `NIX_REMOTE` is correctly set inside the
test
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the
'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g.
outputs = { self }: {
templates = {
nixos-container = {
path = ./nixos-container;
description = "An example of a NixOS container";
};
};
};
allows
$ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container
Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake
init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the
current directory.
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It
could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they
exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are
pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches).
The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the
definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help
check-ref-format` pages.
This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which
compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.
This makes 'nix flake' less cluttered and more consistent (it's only
subcommands that operator on a flake). Also, the registry is not
inherently flake-related (e.g. fetchTree could also use it to remap
inputs).
Motivation: maintain project-level configuration files.
Document the whole situation a bit better so that it corresponds to the
implementation, and add NIX_USER_CONF_FILES that allows overriding
which user files Nix will load during startup.
A test case for correct handling of temporary directory deletion that
was added to check.sh as part of PR #2689 was initially disabled for
Darwin because of a directory permission issue in PR #2688.
Now that the issue in PR #2688 is fixed, this commit enables the test
case for Darwin.
Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.
This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.
Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.
Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
Future editions of flakes or the Nix language can be supported by
renaming flake.nix (e.g. flake-v2.nix). This avoids a bootstrap
problem where we don't know which grammar to use to parse
flake*.nix. It also allows a project to support multiple flake
editions, in theory.
