d4c3b6327f Don't put results symlinks in the tests directory 2012-09-11 19:14:15 -04:00

8af7d766f0 * Refactoring: remove unnecessary variables from the tests. 2011-10-10 21:32:34 +00:00

817f4f7908 * Grmbl. Timing-sensitive tests are evil. 2010-02-04 14:43:43 +00:00

805144b705 * Make the poll interval configurable. 2009-03-30 11:34:03 +00:00

7024a1ef07 * Removed the locking.sh test; it's redundant because of the extended
parallel.sh test.  Also, don't call multiple nix-builds in parallel,
  since they can race creating .nix-build-tmp-derivation.

7aedcf9460 * Make this test a bit more robust. It's still timing dependent
though.

d7b2d11255 * Test case (currently fails): multiple Nix builds shouldn't block
waiting on the same lock when there are other builds that can be
  done.

c183ee5c79 * Acquire the locks on the output paths before trying to run the build
hook.  This fixes a problem with log files being partially or
  completely filled with 0's because another nix-store process
  truncates the log file.  It should also be more efficient.

1dcf208f56 * Clean up some tests (use nix-build where appropriate). 2009-03-18 13:15:55 +00:00

84c4631221 * Simplification. 2006-03-01 12:51:18 +00:00

a4c63c6e8e * Make it easy to run individual tests from the command line. 2006-03-01 12:15:33 +00:00

98df735b51 * Propagate the deriver of a path through the substitute mechanism.
* Removed some dead code (successor stuff) from nix-push.
* Updated terminology in the tests (store expr -> drv path).
* Check that the deriver is set properly in the tests.

80faa2f98a * In nix-store: change --build' back to --realise'. Also brought
back the query flag `--force-realise'.
* Fixed some of the tests.

a8306cb98f * The build hooks used to implement distributed builds can now be run
in parallel.  Hooks are more efficient: locks on output paths are
  only acquired when the hook says that it is willing to accept a
  build job.  Hooks now work in two phases.  First, they should first
  tell Nix whether they are willing to accept a job.  Nix guarantuees
  that no two hooks will ever be in the first phase at the same time
  (this simplifies the implementation of hooks, since they don't have
  to perform locking (?)).  Second, if they accept a job, they are
  then responsible for building it (on the remote system), and copying
  the result back.  These can be run in parallel with other hooks and
  locally executed jobs.

  The implementation is a bit messy right now, though.  

* The directory `distributed' shows a (hacky) example of a hook that
  distributes build jobs over a set of machines listed in a
  configuration file.

5087c8f645 * Use `-j0'. 2004-05-12 14:30:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c8d3882cdc * True parallel builds. Nix can now run as many build jobs in
parallel as possible (similar to GNU Make's `-j' switch).  This is
  useful on SMP systems, but it is especially useful for doing builds
  on multiple machines.  The idea is that a large derivation is
  initiated on one master machine, which then distributes
  sub-derivations to any number of slave machines.  This should not
  happen synchronously or in lock-step, so the master must be capable
  of dealing with multiple parallel build jobs.  We now have the
  infrastructure to support this.

  TODO: substitutes are currently broken.

a9858c9f26 * A test to verify that Nix executes build jobs in parallel, if
possible.

  This test fails right now because this hasn't been implemented right
  now.  Yes, I'm doing Test-Driven Development! ;-)
