When an input follows disappears, we can't just reuse the old lock
file entries since we may be missing some required ones. Refetch the
input when this happens.
Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5289
When setting flake-local options (with the `nixConfig` field), forward
these options to the daemon in case we’re using one.
This is necessary in particular for options like `binary-caches` or
`post-build-hook` to make sense.
Fix <343239fc8a (r44356843)>
Having the `post-build-hook` use `nix` from the client package can lead
to a deadlock in case there’s a db migration to do between both, as a
`nix` command running inside the hook will run as root (and as such will
bypass the daemon), so might trigger a db migration, which will get
stuck trying to get a global lock on the DB (as the daemon that ran the
hook already has a lock on it).
When running a `:b` command in the repl, after building the derivations
query the store for its outputs rather than just assuming that they are
known in the derivation itself (which isn’t true for CA derivations)
Fix#5328
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.
This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
(making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
of it.
The min bound written corresponds to the date of the commit that
introduced the change, but it only got merged on master some weeks
later. Since the version is essentially the commit date, that means that
there’s a whole range of commits on master (including the current
`nixUnstable`) that have a higher version but don’t contain the required
change.
This fixes a bug in the garbage collector where if a path
/nix/store/abcd-foo is valid, but we do a
isValidPath("/nix/store/abcd-foo.lock") first, then a negative entry
for /nix/store/abcd is added to pathInfoCache, so /nix/store/abcd-foo
is subsequently considered invalid and deleted.
The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from
adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the
collector from deleting store paths just added by another process,
processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain
socket to register new temporary roots.
We now build the context (so this has the side-effect of making
builtins.{path,filterSource} work on derivations outputs, if IFD is
enabled) and then check that the path has no references (which is what
we really care about).
This actually bit me quite recently in `nixpkgs` because I assumed that
`nix-build --check` would also error out if hashes don't match anymore[1]
and so I wrongly assumed that I couldn't reproduce the mismatch error.
The fix is rather simple, during the output registration a so-called
`delayedException` is instantiated e.g. if a FOD hash-mismatch occurs.
However, in case of `nix-build --check` (or `--rebuild` in case of `nix
build`), the code-path where this exception is thrown will never be
reached.
By adding that check to the if-clause that causes an early exit in case
of `bmCheck`, the issue is gone. Also added a (previously failing)
test-case to demonstrate the problem.
[1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/139238, the underlying issue
was that `nix-prefetch-git` returns different hashes than `fetchgit`
because the latter one fetches submodules by default.
If the store path contains a flake, this means that a command like
"nix path-info /path" will show info about /path, not about the
default output of the flake in /path. If you want the latter, you can
explicitly ask for it by doing "nix path-info path:/path".
Fixes#4568.
When doing e.g.
nix-build -A package --keep-failed --option \
builders \
'ssh://mfhydra?remote-store=/home/bosch/store x86_64-linux - 10 4 big-parallel'
this doesn't work properly because this build-setting is ignored.
I changed this behavior by passing the `settings.keepFailed` through the
serve-protocol to remote machines to make sure that I can introspect the
build-directory (which is particularly helpful when I have to look at a
`config.log` from a failed build for instance).
When `NIX_DAEMON_PACKAGE` is set, make all the tests use the Nix daemon.
That way we can test every piece of Nix functionality both with and
without the daemon.
Tests for which using the daemon isn’t possible or doesn’t make sens can
selectively be disabled with `needLocalStore`
