- Test that without the XP feature things work as before

- 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:
$ make installcheck

This adds a new command, :bl, which works like :b but also creates
a GC root symlink to the various derivation outputs.

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).
