Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for
hash commands.
The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are
left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).
Add several tests for git fetching:
- shallow-cache-separation: can fetch the same repo shallowly and non-shallowly
- shallow-ignore-ref: ensure that ref gets ignored when shallow=true is set
- ssh-shallow: can fetch a git repo via ssh using shallow=1
Otherwise we get a stray `tests/functional/result`, which can cause
spurious failures later.
(I got a failure because the test temp dir effecting the store dir
changed. This caused a test later because Nix didn't want to remove the
old `result` because it wasn't pointing inside the new Nix store.)
Most of this is a `catch SysError` -> `catch SystemError` sed. This
is a rather pure-churn change I would like to get out of the way. **The
intersting part is `src/libutil/error.hh`.**
On Unix, we will only throw the `SysError` concrete class, which has
the same constructors that `SystemError` used to have.
On Windows, we will throw `WinError` *and* `SysError`. `WinError`
(which will be created in a later PR), will use a `DWORD` instead of
`int` error value, and `GetLastError()`, which is the Windows equivalent
of the `errno` machinery. Windows will *also* use `SysError` because
Window's "libc" (MSVCRT) implements the POSIX interface, and we use it
too.
As the docs describe, while we *throw* one of the 3 choices above (2
concrete classes or the alias), we should always *catch* `SystemError`.
This ensures no matter how the implementation changes for Windows (e.g.
between `SysError` and `WinError`) the catching logic stays the same
and stays correct.

Also fingerprint and some preparatory improvements.
Testing is still not up to scratch because lots of logic is duplicated
between the workdir and commit cases.
Enabled for fetchGit, which historically had this behavior,
among other behaviors we do not want in fetchGit.
fetchTree disables this parameter by default. It can choose the
simpler behavior, as it is still experimental.
I am not confident that the filtering implementation is future
proof. It should reuse a source filtering wrapper, which I believe
Eelco has already written, but not merged yet.
The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged.
I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate
--eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).
This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.
Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)
Please read the tests for example output.
Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
`builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.
solves #9388
This utilizes nixos vm tests to allow:
- writing tests for fetchTree and fetchGit involving actual networking.
- writing small independent test cases by automating local and remote repository setup per test case.
This adds:
- a gitea module setting up a gitea server
- a setup module that simplifies writing test cases by automating the repo setup.
- a simple git http test case
Other improvements:
For all nixos tests, add capability of overriding the nix version to test against.
This should make it easier to prevent regressions. If a new test is added it can simply be ran against any older nix version without having to backport the test.
For example, for running the container tests against nix 2.12.0:
`nix build "$(nix eval --raw .#hydraJobs.tests.containers --impure --apply 't: (t.forNix "2.12.0").drvPath')^*" -L`
This fixes a segfault on infinite function call recursion (rather than
infinite thunk recursion) by tracking the function call depth in
`EvalState`.
Additionally, to avoid printing extremely long stack traces, stack
frames are now deduplicated, with a `(19997 duplicate traces omitted)`
message. This should only really be triggered in infinite recursion
scenarios.

Previously, IFDs would be built within the eval store, even though one
is typically using `--eval-store` precisely to *avoid* local builds.
Because the resulting Nix expression must be copied back to the eval
store in order to be imported, this requires the eval store to trust
the build store's signatures.
The profile manifest is now an object keyed on the name returned by
getNameFromURL() at installation time, instead of an array. This
ensures that the names of profile elements don't change when other
elements are added/removed.
