This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
This allows querying the location of function arguments. E.g.
builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos "x" (builtins.functionArgs ({ x }: null))
=> { column = 57; file = "/home/infinisil/src/nix/inst/test.nix"; line = 1; }
This is now done in a single pass. Also fixes some issues when
updating flakes with circular dependencies. Finally, when using
'--recreate-lock-file --commit-lock-file', the commit message now
correctly shows the differences.
If you do a fetchTree on a Git repository, whether the result contains
a revCount attribute should not depend on whether that repository
happens to be a shallow clone or not. That would complicate caching a
lot and would be semantically messy. So applying fetchTree/fetchGit to
a shallow repository is now an error unless you pass the attribute
'shallow = true'. If 'shallow = true', we don't return revCount, even
if the repository is not actually shallow.
Note that Nix itself is not doing shallow clones at the moment. But it
could do so as an optimisation if the user specifies 'shallow = true'.
Issue #2988.
Worktrees[1] are a feature of git which allow you to check out a ref in
a different directory.
While playing around with flakes I realized that git repositories in a
worktree checkout break when trying to build a flake:
```
$ git worktree add ../nixpkgs-flakes nixpkgs-flakes
$ cd ../nixpkgs-flakes
$ nix build .#hello
error: opening directory '/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs-flakes/.git/refs/heads': Not a directory
```
This issue has been fixed by determining with `git rev-parse --git-common-dir`
where the actual `.git` directory is.
Please note that this issue only exists on the `flakes` branch, fetching
worktree checkouts with Nix master seems to work fine.
[1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree
This allows all supported fetchers to be used, e.g.
builtins.fetchTree {
type = "github";
owner = "NixOS";
repo = "nix";
rev = "d4df99a3349cf2228a8ee78dea320afef86eb3ba";
}
This improves reproducibility and may be faster than fetching from the
original source (especially for git/hg inputs, but probably also for
github inputs - our binary cache is probably faster than GitHub's
dynamically generated tarballs).
Unfortunately this doesn't work for the top-level flake since even if
we know the NAR hash of the tree, we don't know the other tree
attributes such as revCount and lastModified.
Fixes#3253.
Typical usage:
$ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard --update-input nixpkgs
to update the 'nixpkgs' input of a flake while leaving every other
input unchanged.
The argument is an input path, so you can do e.g. '--update-input
dwarffs/nixpkgs' to update an input of an input.
Fixes#2928.
Added a flag --no-update-lock-file to barf if the lock file needs any
changes. This is useful for CI systems if you're building a
checkout. Fixes#2947.
Renamed --no-save-lock-file to --no-write-lock-file. It is now a fatal
error if the lock file needs changes but --no-write-lock-file is not
given.
E.g.
$ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard \
--override-input 'dwarffs/nixpkgs' ../my-nixpkgs
overrides the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input of the top-level
flake.
Fixes#2837.
When computing a lock file, we now respect the lock files of flake
inputs. This is important for usability / reproducibility. For
example, the 'nixops' flake depends on the 'nixops-aws' and
'nixops-hetzner' repositories. So when the 'nixops' flake is used in
another flake, we want the versions of 'nixops-aws' and
'nixops-hetzner' locked by the the 'nixops' flake because those
presumably have been tested.
This can lead to a proliferation of versions of flakes like 'nixpkgs'
(since every flake's lock file could depend on a different version of
'nixpkgs'). This is not a major issue when using Nixpkgs overlays or
NixOS modules, since then the top-level flake composes those
overlays/modules into *its* version of Nixpkgs and all other versions
are ignored. Lock file computation has been made a bit more lazy so it
won't try to fetch all those versions of 'nixpkgs'.
However, in case it's necessary to minimize flake versions, there now
are two input attributes that allow this. First, you can copy an input
from another flake, as follows:
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "dwarffs/nixpkgs";
This states that the calling flake's 'nixpkgs' input shall be the same
as the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input.
Second, you can override inputs of inputs:
inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>;
inputs.nixops.inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>;
or equivalently, using 'follows':
inputs.nixpkgs.url = github:edolstra/nixpkgs/<hash>;
inputs.nixops.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
This states that the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'nixops' input shall be
the same as the calling flake's 'nixpkgs' input.
Finally, at '-v' Nix now prints the changes to the lock file, e.g.
$ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard
inputs of flake 'git+file:///home/eelco/Misc/eelco-configurations?subdir=hagbard' changed:
updated 'nixpkgs': 'github:edolstra/nixpkgs/7845bf5f4b3013df1cf036e9c9c3a55a30331db9' -> 'github:edolstra/nixpkgs/03f3def66a104a221aac8b751eeb7075374848fd'
removed 'nixops'
removed 'nixops/nixops-aws'
removed 'nixops/nixops-hetzner'
removed 'nixops/nixpkgs'

As fromTOML supports \u and \U escapes, bring fromJSON on par. As JSON defaults
to UTF-8 encoding (every JSON parser must support UTF-8), this change parses the
`\u hex hex hex hex` sequence (\u followed by 4 hexadecimal digits) into an
UTF-8 representation.
Add a test to verify correct parsing, using all escape sequences from json.org.
Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash
function indicated isn't actually necessary. We now verify the path
format in the tests to prevent regressions.
This replaces the '(...)' installable syntax, which is not very
discoverable. The downside is that you can't have multiple expressions
or mix expressions and other installables.
Derivations that want to use recursion should now set
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "recursive-nix" ];
to make the daemon socket appear.
Also, Nix should be configured with "experimental-features =
recursive-nix".
This is an alternative to the IN_NIX_SHELL environment variable,
allowing the expression to adapt itself to nix-shell without
triggering those adaptations when used as a dependency of another
shell.
Closes#3147
Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one
experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more
quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely.
Typical usage:
$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello
(cherry picked from commit 8e478c2341,
without the "flakes" feature)
Experimental features are now opt-in. There are currently two
experimental features: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command), and "flakes" (which enables support for flakes). This will
allow us to merge experimental features more quickly, without
committing to supporting them indefinitely.
Typical usage:
$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello
A command like
$ nix run nixpkgs#hello
will now build the attribute 'packages.${system}.hello' rather than
'packages.hello'. Note that this does mean that the flake needs to
export an attribute for every system type it supports, and you can't
build on unsupported systems. So 'packages' typically looks like this:
packages = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs ["x86_64-linux" "i686-linux"] (system: {
hello = ...;
});
The 'checks', 'defaultPackage', 'devShell', 'apps' and 'defaultApp'
outputs similarly are now attrsets that map system types to
derivations/apps. 'nix flake check' checks that the derivations for
all platforms evaluate correctly, but only builds the derivations in
'checks.${system}'.
Fixes#2861. (That issue also talks about access to ~/.config/nixpkgs
and --arg, but I think it's reasonable to say that flakes shouldn't
support those.)
The alternative to attribute selection is to pass the system type as
an argument to the flake's 'outputs' function, e.g. 'outputs = { self,
nixpkgs, system }: ...'. However, that approach would be at odds with
hermetic evaluation and make it impossible to enumerate the packages
provided by a flake.
Instead of a list, inputs are now an attrset like
inputs = {
nixpkgs.uri = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
};
If 'uri' is omitted, than the flake is a lookup in the flake registry, e.g.
inputs = {
nixpkgs = {};
};
but in that case, you can also just omit the input altogether and
specify it as an argument to the 'outputs' function, as in
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: ...
This also gets rid of 'nonFlakeInputs', which are now just a special
kind of input that have a 'flake = false' attribute, e.g.
inputs = {
someRepo = {
uri = github:example/repo;
flake = false;
};
};

Includes test cases around function call failures and tryEval. Uses
RAII so the finish is always called at the end of the function.
This currently fails because we're using POSIX file locks. So when the
garbage collector opens and closes its own temproots file, it causes
the lock to be released and then deleted by another GC instance.
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:
DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev
This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).
This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`

As long as the flake input is locked, it is now only fetched when it
is evaluated (e.g. "nixpkgs" is fetched when
"inputs.nixpkgs.<something>" is evaluated).
This required adding an "id" attribute to the members of "inputs" in
lockfiles, e.g.
"inputs": {
"nixpkgs/release-19.03": {
"id": "nixpkgs",
"inputs": {},
"narHash": "sha256-eYtxncIMFVmOHaHBtTdPGcs/AnJqKqA6tHCm0UmPYQU=",
"nonFlakeInputs": {},
"uri": "github:edolstra/nixpkgs/e9d5882bb861dc48f8d46960e7c820efdbe8f9c1"
}
}
because the flake ID needs to be known beforehand to construct the
"inputs" attrset.
Fixes#2913.
This is primarily useful for version string generation, where we need
a monotonically increasing number. The revcount is the preferred thing
to use, but isn't available for GitHub flakes (since it requires
fetching the entire history). The last commit timestamp OTOH can be
extracted from GitHub tarballs.
This ensures that flakes don't get garbage-collected, which is
important to get nix-channel-like behaviour.
For example, running
$ nix build hydra:
will create a GC root
~/.cache/nix/flake-closures/hydra -> /nix/store/xarfiqcwa4w8r4qpz1a769xxs8c3phgn-flake-closure
where the contents/references of the linked file in the store are the
flake source trees used by the 'hydra' flake:
/nix/store/n6d5f5lkpfjbmkyby0nlg8y1wbkmbc7i-source
/nix/store/vbkg4zy1qd29fnhflsv9k2j9jnbqd5m2-source
/nix/store/z46xni7d47s5wk694359mq9ay353ar94-source
Note that this in itself is not enough to allow offline use; the
fetcher for the flakeref (e.g. fetchGit or downloadCached) must not
fail if it cannot fetch the latest version of the file, so long as it
knows a cached version.
Issue #2868.
This PR was not intended to be merged until those tests were actually
passing. So disable them for now to unbreak the flakes branch.

I.e. flake3 depends on flake2 which depends on flake1. Currently this
fails with
error: indirect flake reference 'flake1' is not allowed
because we're not propagating lockfiles downwards properly.
For text files it is possible to do it like so:
`builtins.hashString "sha256" (builtins.readFile /tmp/a)`
but that doesn't work for binary files.
With builtins.hashFile any kind of file can be conveniently hashed.
SRI hashes (https://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/) combine the hash algorithm and
a base-64 hash. This allows more concise and standard hash
specifications. For example, instead of
import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
sha256 = "5d22dad058d5c800d65a115f919da22938c50dd6ba98c5e3a183172d149840a4";
};
you can write
import <nix/fetchurl.nl> {
url = https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-2.1.3/nix-2.1.3.tar.xz;
hash = "sha256-XSLa0FjVyADWWhFfkZ2iKTjFDda6mMXjoYMXLRSYQKQ=";
};
In fixed-output derivations, the outputHashAlgo is no longer mandatory
if outputHash specifies the hash (either as an SRI or in the old
"<type>:<hash>" format).
'nix hash-{file,path}' now print hashes in SRI format by default. I
also reverted them to use SHA-256 by default because that's what we're
using most of the time in Nixpkgs.
Suggested by @zimbatm.
In structured-attributes derivations, you can now specify per-output
checks such as:
outputChecks."out" = {
# The closure of 'out' must not be larger than 256 MiB.
maxClosureSize = 256 * 1024 * 1024;
# It must not refer to C compiler or to the 'dev' output.
disallowedRequisites = [ stdenv.cc "dev" ];
};
outputChecks."dev" = {
# The 'dev' output must not be larger than 128 KiB.
maxSize = 128 * 1024;
};
Also fixed a bug in allowedRequisites that caused it to ignore
self-references.
The current usage technically works by putting multiple different
repos in to the same git directory. However, it is very slow as
Git tries very hard to find common commits between the two
repositories. If the two repositories are large (like Nixpkgs and
another long-running project,) it is maddeningly slow.
This change busts the cache for existing deployments, but users
will be promptly repaid in per-repository performance.
In EvalState::checkSourcePath, the path is checked against the list of
allowed paths first and later it's checked again *after* resolving
symlinks.
The resolving of the symlinks is done via canonPath, which also strips
out "../" and "./". However after the canonicalisation the error message
pointing out that the path is not allowed prints the symlink target in
the error message.
Even if we'd suppress the message, symlink targets could still be leaked
if the symlink target doesn't exist (in this case the error is thrown in
canonPath).
So instead, we now do canonPath() without symlink resolving first before
even checking against the list of allowed paths and then later do the
symlink resolving and checking the allowed paths again.
The first call to canonPath() should get rid of all the "../" and "./",
so in theory the only way to leak a symlink if the attacker is able to
put a symlink in one of the paths allowed by restricted evaluation mode.
For the latter I don't think this is part of the threat model, because
if the attacker can write to that path, the attack vector is even
larger.

Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.
Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.
Flex's regexes have an annoying feature: the dot matches everything
except a newline. This causes problems for expressions like:
"${0}\
"
where the backslash-newline combination matches this rule instead of the
intended one mentioned in the comment:
<STRING>\$|\\|\$\\ {
/* This can only occur when we reach EOF, otherwise the above
(...|\$[^\{\"\\]|\\.|\$\\.)+ would have triggered.
This is technically invalid, but we leave the problem to the
parser who fails with exact location. */
return STR;
}
However, the parser actually accepts the resulting token sequence
('"' DOLLAR_CURLY 0 '}' STR '"'), which is a problem because the lexer
rule didn't assign anything to yylval. Ultimately this leads to a crash
when dereferencing a NULL pointer in ExprConcatStrings::bindVars().
The fix does change the syntax of the language in some corner cases
but I think it's only turning previously invalid (or crashing) syntax
to valid syntax. E.g.
"a\
b"
and
''a''\
b''
were previously syntax errors but now both result in "a\nb".

nix-store --export, nix-store --dump, and nix dump-path would previously
fail silently if writing the data out failed, because
a) FdSink::write ignored exceptions, and
b) the commands relied on FdSink's destructor, which ignores
exceptions, to flush the data out.
This could cause rather opaque issues with installing nixos, because
nix-store --export would happily proceed even if it couldn't write its
data out (e.g. if nix-store --import on the other side of the pipe
failed).
This commit adds tests that expose these issues in the nix-store
commands, and fixes them for all three.
All ANSI sequences except color setting are now filtered out. In
particular, terminal resets (such as from NixOS VM tests) are filtered
out.
Also, fix the completely broken tab character handling.
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.
It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:
* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
error.
* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.
* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.
* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.
* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
not allowed.
Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.
nix build --pure-eval '(
let
nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
)'
The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like
nix build --pure-eval '(
(import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
')
where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.
Disable various tests if the kernel doesn't support unprivileged user
namespaces (e.g. Arch Linux disables them) or disable them via a sysctl
(Debian, Ubuntu).

* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
If neither are found, current runtime behavior
is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
Testing shows negligible performance impact.
(Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)
The storeUri variable in the build-remote hook is declared very much to
the start of the main function and a bunch of lines later, the same
variable gets checked via hasPrefix() but it gets assigned *after* that
check when the most suitable machine for the build was choosen.
So I guess this was just a typo in d16fd24973
and what we really want is to either checkd the prefix *after* assigning
storeUri or use bestMachine->storeUri directly.
I choose the latter, because the former could introduce even more
regressions if the try block where the variable gets assigned terminates
early.
Nevertheless, the reason why the log output didn't work is because
hasPrefix() checked for "ssh://" in front of storeUri, but if the
storeUri isn't set correctly (or at all), we don't get the log file
descriptor set up properly, leading to no log output.
I've adjusted the remote-builds test to include a regression test for
this, so that we can make sure we get a build output when using remote
builds.
In addition to that I've tested this with two of my build farms and the
build logs are emitted correctly again.

The name had become a misnomer since it's not only for substitution
from binary caches, but when adding/copying any
(non-content-addressed) path to a store.
In particular, drop the "build-" and "gc-" prefixes which are
pointless. So now you can say
nix build --no-sandbox
instead of
nix build --no-build-use-sandbox
In particular, don't use base-64, which we don't support. (We do have
