1. `DerivationOutput` now as the `std::variant` as a base class. And the
variants are given hierarchical names under `DerivationOutput`.
In 8e0d0689be @matthewbauer and I
didn't know a better idiom, and so we made it a field. But this sort
of "newtype" is anoying for literals downstream.
Since then we leaned the base class, inherit the constructors trick,
e.g. used in `DerivedPath`. Switching to use that makes this more
ergonomic, and consistent.
2. `store-api.hh` and `derivations.hh` are now independent.
In bcde5456cc I swapped the dependency,
but I now know it is better to just keep on using incomplete types as
much as possible for faster compilation and good separation of
concerns.
Don’t try and assume that we know the output paths when we’ve just built
with `--dry-run`. Instead make `--dry-run` follow a different code path
that won’t assume the knowledge of the output paths at all.
Fix#6275
This changes was taken from dynamic derivation (#4628). It` somewhat
undoes the refactors I first did for floating CA derivations, as the
benefit of hindsight + requirements of dynamic derivations made me
reconsider some things.
They aren't to consequential, but I figured they might be good to land
first, before the more profound changes @thufschmitt has in the works.
Continue progress on #5729.
Just as I hoped, this uncovered an issue: the daemon protocol is missing
a way to query build logs. This doesn't effect `unix://`, but does
effect `ssh://`. A FIXME is left for this, so we come back to it later.
Starts progress on #5729.
The idea is that we should not have these default methods throwing
"unimplemented". This is a small step in that direction.
I kept `addTempRoot` because it is a no-op, rather than failure. Also,
as a practical matter, it is called all over the place, while doing
other tasks, so the downcasting would be annoying.
Maybe in the future I could move the "real" `addTempRoot` to `GcStore`,
and the existing usecases use a `tryAddTempRoot` wrapper to downcast or
do nothing, but I wasn't sure whether that was a good idea so with a
bias to less churn I didn't do it yet.
This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path
(e.g. in get-drvs.cc).
Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a
store path must come from a store source tree accessor).
On Nix 2.6 the output of `nix why-depends --all` seems to be somewhat
off:

Please note that `[...]-system-units.drv` is supposed to be a direct
child of `[...]-etc.drv`.
The reason for that is that each new level printed by `printNode` is
four spaces off in comparison to `nix why-depends --precise` because the
recursive `printNode()` only prints the path and not the `tree*`-chars in
the case of `--precise` and in this format the path is four spaces further
indented, i.e. on a newline, but on the same level as the path's children, i.e.
/nix/store/kn47hayxab8gc01jhr98dwyywbx561aq-nixos-system-roflmayr-21.11.20220207.6c202a9.drv

→ /nix/store/g8bpgfjhh5vxrdq0w6r6s64f9kkm9z6c-etc.drv
As you can see `[...]-etc.drv` is a direct child of the root, but four
spaces indented. This logic was directly applied to the code-path with
`precise=false` which resulted in `tree*` being printed four spaces too
deep.
In case of no `--precise`, `hits[hash]` is empty and the path itself
should be printed rather than hits using the same logic as for `hits[hash]`.
With this fix, the output looks correct now:

Bundlers are now responsible for correctly handling their inputs which
are no longer constrained to be (Drv->Drv)->Drv->Drv, but can be of
type (attrset->Drv)->attrset->Drv.
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.
- Make passing the position to `forceValue` mandatory,
this way we remember people that the position is
important for better error messages
- Add pos to all `forceValue` calls
if we defer the duplicate argument check for lambda formals we can use more
efficient data structures for the formals set, and we can get rid of the
duplication of formals names to boot. instead of a list of formals we've seen
and a set of names we'll keep a vector instead and run a sort+dupcheck step
before moving the parsed formals into a newly created lambda. this improves
performance on search and rebuild by ~1%, pure parsing gains more (about 4%).
this does reorder lambda arguments in the xml output, but the output is still
stable. this shouldn't be a problem since argument order is not semantically
important anyway.

Unless `--precise` is passed, make `nix why-depends` only show the
dependencies between the store paths, without introspecting them to
find the actual references.
This also makes it ~3x faster
This is needed to get the path of a derivation that might not exist
(e.g. for 'nix store copy-log').
InstallableStorePath::toDerivedPaths() cannot be used for this because
it calls readDerivation(), so it fails if the store doesn't have the
derivation.
When stderr is not connected to a tty, show "building" and
"substituting" messages, a-la nix-build et al.

`nix why-depends` is piping its output into a pager by default.
However the pager was only started after the first path is printed,
causing it to be excluded from the pager output.
(Actually the pager was started *inside* the recursive function that was
printing the dependency chain, so a new instance was started at each
level. It’s a little miracle that it worked at all).
Fix#5911
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated
location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the
parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having
two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have
the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present.

Previously you had to remember to call value->attrs->sort() after
populating value->attrs. Now there is a BindingsBuilder helper that
wraps Bindings and ensures that sort() is called before you can use
it.
This was already accidentally disabled in ba87b08. It also no longer
appears to be beneficial, and in fact slow things down, e.g. when
evaluating a NixOS system configuration:
elapsed time: median = 3.8170 mean = 3.8202 stddev = 0.0195 min = 3.7894 max = 3.8600 [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=0.36929±0.02513]
When a variable is assigned in the REPL, make sure to remove any possible reference to the old one so that we correctly pick the new one afterwards
Fix#5706
Doing it as a side-effect of calling LocalStore::makeStoreWritable()
is very ugly.
Also, make sure that stopping the progress bar joins the update
thread, otherwise that thread should be unshared as well.
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.
When I stop a download with Ctrl-C in a `nix repl` of a flake, the REPL
refuses to do any other downloads:
nix-repl> builtins.getFlake "nix-serve"
[0.0 MiB DL] downloading 'https://api.github.com/repos/edolstra/nix-serve/tarball/e9828a9e01a14297d15ca41 error: download of 'e9828a9e01' was interrupted
[0.0 MiB DL]
nix-repl> builtins.getFlake "nix-serve"
error: interrupted by the user
[0.0 MiB DL]
To fix this issue, two changes were necessary:
* Reset the global `_isInterrupted` variable: only because a single
operation was aborted, it should still be possible to continue the
session.
* Recreate a `fileTransfer`-instance if the current one was shut down by
an abort.
The boolean is only used to determine if the formals are set to a
non-null pointer in all our cases. We can get rid of that allocation and
instead just compare the pointer value with NULL. Saving up to
sizeof(bool) + platform specific alignment per ExprLambda instace.
Probably not a lot of memory but perhaps a few kilobyte with nixpkgs?
This also gets rid of a potential issue with dereferencing formals based on
the value of the boolean that didn't have to be aligned with the formals
pointer but was in all our cases.
I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type
error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that
existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with
extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking
with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even
improve performance.
It's now disabled by default for the following:
* 'nix search' (this was already implied by read-only mode)
* 'nix flake show'
* 'nix flake check', but only on the hydraJobs output
In dry run mode, new derivations can't be create, so running the command on anything that has not been evaluated before results in an error message of the form `don't know how to build these paths (may be caused by read-only store access)`.
For comparison, the classical `nix-build --dry-run` doesn't use read-only mode.

“packages” was probably meant to be “packages.${system}.” but that

With this, we don't have to copy the entire .drv closure to the
destination store ahead of time (or at all). Instead, buildPaths()
reads .drv files from the eval store and copies inputSrcs to the
destination store if it needs to build a derivation.
Issue #5025.
In particular, this now works:
$ nix path-info --eval-store auto --store https://cache.nixos.org nixpkgs#hello
Previously this would fail as it would try to upload the hello .drv to
cache.nixos.org. Now the .drv is instantiated in the local store, and
then we check for the existence of the outputs in cache.nixos.org.
It supports functions as well. Also change `package` to
`derivation` because it operates at the language level and does
not open the derivation (which would be useful but not nearly
as much).
It does not operate on a derivation and does not return a
derivation path. Instead it works at the language level,
where a distinct term "package" is more appropriate to
distinguish the parent object of `meta.position`; an
attribute which doesn't even make it into the derivation.
Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before
calling the nix subprocesses in the repl
That way the whole configuration (including the possible
`experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will
be made available.
This is required for example to make `nix repl` work with a custom
`--store`
Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before
calling the post-build-hook.
That way the whole configuration (including the possible
`experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will
be made available to the hook
Pass the current experimental features using `NIX_CONFIG` to the various
Nix subprocesses that `nix repl` invokes.
This is quite a hack, but having `nix repl` call Nix with a subprocess
is a hack already, so I guess that’s fine.
`nix develop` is getting bash from an (assumed existing) `nixpkgs`
flake. However, when doing so, it reuses the `lockFlags` passed to the
current flake, including the `--input-overrides` and `--input-update`
which generally don’t make sense anymore at that point (and trigger a
warning because of that)
Clear these overrides before getting the nixpkgs flake to get rid of the
warning.
Useful when we're using a daemon with a chroot store, e.g.
$ NIX_DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH=/tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket nix-daemon --store /tmp/chroot
Then the client can now connect with
$ nix build --store unix:///tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket?root=/tmp/chroot nixpkgs#hello
When the `keep-going` option is set to `true`, make `nix flake check`
continue as much as it can before failing.
The UI isn’t perfect as-it-is as all the lines currently start with a
mostly useless `error (ignored): error:` prefix, but I’m not sure what
the best output would be, so I’ll leave it as-it-is for the time being
(This is a bit hijacking the `keep-going` flag as it’s supposed to be a
build-time only thing. But I think it’s faire to reuse it here).
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4450
Accidentally removed in ca96f52194. This
caused `nix run` to systematically fail with
```

~/.bashrc should be sourced first in the rc script so that PATH &
other env vars give precedence over the bashrc PATH.
Also, in my bashrc I alias rm as:
alias rm='rm -Iv'
To avoid running this alias (which shows ‘removed '/tmp/nix-shell.*'),
we can just prefix rm with command.
This was previously done in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4515 but
got clobbered away in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4594.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This fixes an issue where derivations with a primary output that is
not "out" would fail with:
$ nix profile install nixpkgs#sqlite
error: opening directory '/nix/store/2a2ydlgyydly5czcc8lg12n6qqkfz863-sqlite-3.34.1-bin': No such file or directory
This happens because while derivations produce every output when
built, you might not have them if you didn't build the derivation
yourself (for instance, the store path was fetch from a binary cache).
This uses outputName provided from DerivationInfo which appears to
match the first output of the derivation.
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
This is probably what most people expect it to do. Fixes#3781.
There is a new command 'nix flake lock' that has the old behaviour of
'nix flake update', i.e. it just adds missing lock file entries unless
overriden using --update-input.
