this is a how-to guide which should not be in the reference manual.
it also refers to `nix-env`, which should not be the first thing readers
of the reference manual encounter, as it behaves very differently in
spirit from the rest of Nix.

slightly reword the documentation to be more concise and informative.

Merge pull request #8696 from NixLayeredStore/nested-sandboxing
Test nested sandboxing, and make nicer error
2023-07-14 10:25:38 -04:00
John Ericson 0f7242ff87 Test nested sandboxing, and make nicer error
We were bedeviled by sandboxing issues when working on the layered
store. The problem ended up being that when we have nested nix builds,
and the inner store is inside the build dir (e.g. store is
`/build/nix-test/$name/store`, build dir is `/build`) bind mounts
clobber each other and store paths cannot be found.

After thoroughly cleaning up `local-derivation-goal.cc`, we might be
able to make that work. But that is a lot of work. For now, we just fail
earlier with a proper error message.

Finally, test this: nested sandboxing without the problematic store dir
should work, and with should fail with the expected error message.

John Ericson e072e18475 Fix race condition in the language tests
When we pipe to `>(...)` like that, we unfortunately don't wait for the
process to finish. Better to just substitute the file.

Also, use the "unified" diff output that people (including myself) are
more familiar with, thanks to Git.

John Ericson 2c3fb0eb33 Move BuiltPath to its own header/C++ file in libcmd
It is less important, and used less widely, than `DerivedPath`.

Language test improvements

Mathnerd314 c70484454f Expanded test suite
* Lang now verifies errors and parse output

* Some new miscellaneous tests

* Easy way to update the tests

* Document workflow in manual

* Use `!` not `~` as separater char for sed

  It is confusing to use `~` when we are talking about paths and home
  directories!

* Test test suite itself (`test/lang-test/infra.sh`)

Additionally, run shellcheck on `tests/lang.sh` to help ensure it is
correct, now that is is more complex.
