This adds the following (pre-existing) attributes to the jobset response:
- nrtotal
- lastcheckedtime
- starttime
- checkinterval
- triggertime
- fetcherrormsg
- errortime

(cherry picked from commit 438ddf5289)
Plugins are now disabled at startup time unless there is some relevant
configuration in hydra.conf. This avoids hydra-notify having to do a
lot of redundant work (a lot of plugins did a lot of database queries
*before* deciding they were disabled).
Note: BitBucketStatus users will need to add 'enable_bitbucket_status
= 1' to hydra.conf.
* 'eval_started' has the format '<tmpId>\t<project>\t<jobset>'.
* 'eval_failed' has the format '<tmpId>'. (The cause of the error can
be found in the database.)
* 'eval_added' has the format '<tmpId>:<evalId>'.
It now receives notifications about started/finished builds/steps via
PostgreSQL. This gets rid of the (substantial) overhead of starting
hydra-notify for every event. It also allows other programs (even on
other machines) to listen to Hydra notifications.
This adds a `InfluxDBNotification` plugin which is configured as:
```
<influxdb>
url = http://127.0.0.1:8086
db = hydra
</influxdb>
```
which will write a notification for every finished job to the
configured database in InfluxDB looking like:
```
hydra_build_status,cached=false,job=job,jobset=default,project=sample,repo=default,result=success,status=success,system=x86_64-linux build_id="1",build_status=0i,closure_size=584i,duration=0i,main_build_id="1",queued=0i,size=168i 1564156212
```
The creation of the `pg_trgm` extension needs superuser power. So,
this patch makes the extension creation in the Hydra NixOS module when
a local database is used.
If it is not possible to create this extension (remote database for
instance with nosuperuser), the creation of the `pg_trgm` index is
skipped (this index speedup queries on builds.drvpath) and warnings
are emitted:
initialising the Hydra database schema...
WARNING: Can not create extension pg_trgm: permission denied to create extension "pg_trgm"
WARNING: HINT: Temporary provide superuser role to your Hydra Postgresql user and run the script src/sql/upgrade-57.sql
WARNING: The pg_trgm index on builds.drvpath has been skipped (slower complex queries on builds.drvpath)
This allows to keep smooth migrations: the migration process doesn't
require a manual step (but this manual step is recommended on big
remote databases).
The search query uses the LIKE operator which requires a sequential
scan (it can't use the already existing B-tree index). This new
index (trigram) avoids a sequential scan of the builds table when the
LIKE operator is used.
Here is the analyze of a request on the builds table with this index:
explain analyze select * from builds where drvpath like '%k3r71gz0gv16ld8rhcp2bb8gb5w1xc4b%';

Currently, a full store path has to be provided to search in
builds. This patch permits to search jobs with a output path or
derivation hash.
Usecase: we are building Docker images with Hydra. The tag of the
Docker image is the hash of the image output path. This patch would
allow us to find back the build job from the tag of a running
container image.

No more need for a reproduction script! It just says something like
If you have Nix installed, you can reproduce this build on your own
machine by running the following command:
# nix build github:edolstra/dwarffs/09c823e977946668b63ad6c88ed358b48220f124:hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux
This plugin expects as inputs to a jobset the following:
- gitlab_status_repo => Name of the repository input pointing to that
status updates should be POST'ed, i.e. the jobset has a git input
"nixexprs": "https://gitlab.example.com/project/nixexprs", in which
case "gitlab_status_repo" would be "nixexprs".
- gitlab_project_id => ID of the project in Gitlab, i.e. in the above
case the ID in gitlab of "nixexprs"
The hydra-queue-runner opens a connection to the builder. If the
builder is 'localhost' it starts `nix-store`, otherwise it starts
'ssh'.
Currently, if the hydra-queue-runner can not start `nix-store` (not in
the PATH for instance), the error message is:
cannot connect to ‘localhost’: error: cannot start ssh: No such file
or directory
This is not useful since ssh is actually not started:/
With this patch the error message is now:
cannot connect to ‘localhost’: error: cannot start nix-store: No such file
or directory
Some time ago the data structure for maintainer descriptions in
`nixpkgs` changed from a simple attr set with maintainer emails as
values to an attribute set where the maintainer' nick is associated to
an attribute set with email, GitHub handle and full name.
Hydra can either parse a Nix list or fetches `shortName` from the
associated attribute set (which is used for `meta.licenses` as each
value in it contains a `shortName`). This behavior needs to be
replicated for maintainers to retrieve the emails for `hydra-notify`.
This change is backwards-compatible since `queryMetaStrings` is still
able to understand lists, so old versions of `nixpkgs` or packages using
the old maintainer data structure remain usable.
This is because setting only the initial heap size to more than
the default value (or the configured value) will cause all initial evals
until maxHeapSize expands to the given value to abort.
The 1.1 multiplier comes from the the configured defaults on NixOS' hydra,
and from the previous multiplier used before
7876cf677c.
In order to access protected or private repositories. Using the target
repository URL along with the merge-request ref instead of the source
repository url and branch is necessary to avoid running into issues if
the source repository is not actually accessible to the user Hydra is
authenticating as.
Thanks Alexei Robyn for this patch.
When I press "n builds omitted" I get back to the first tab of a jobset.
This is extremely counter-intuitive, instead this notice should link to
the currently opened tab.
The job has been failing since https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1461286
with the following error:
hydra-eval-jobs.cc:278:17: error: 'evalSettings' was not declared in this scope
evalSettings.restrictEval = true;
^~~~~~~~~~~~
This is likely due to a typo in 0882519 where that line and the
corresponding comment were moved, and `settings` was changed in that
one place to `evalSettings`.
I reproduced the error by running `nix-build release.nix -A
build.x86_64-linux` on my machine, and this small change fixes it.
You can now set 'evaluator_max_heap_size' to make hydra-eval-jobs
restart itself if the Boehm heap exceeds the specified size.
For example, with 'evaluator_max_heap_size = 256000000',
$ hydra-eval-jobs '<nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/release.nix>' -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-17.09
has a max RSS of .56 GiB rather than 4.7 GiB.
Unfortunately it doesn't help much for the NixOS jobsets because of
the "tested" job which requires a huge amount of memory all by itself.
This cannot be done in the hydra-evaluator systemd unit, since then
every other Nix process (e.g. hydra-evaluator and nix-prefetch-*) will
also allocate the specified heap size, probably leading to OOM.
This is a good way to make Hydra hang. (E.g. we had a deletion of
nixos:gcc-7 running for > 12 hours and blocking UPDATE statements from
hydra-queue-runner.) Generally it's better to just disable/hide an old
jobset anyway.
Frequently users want Hydra access just to restart jobs. However,
prior to this commit the only way to grant that access was by giving
them full Admin access which isn't necessarily what we want to do.
By having a restart-jobs role, we can grant this privilege to users
who are known to the community and want to help, but aren't long-time
members.
I haven't tested this commit, but it looks good to me...
When using the "build" or "sysbuild" jobset input types in conjunction
with a binary cache store, the evaluator needs to be able to fetch
store paths from the binary cache. Typical usage:
store_uri = s3://nix-test-cache?secret-key=...
eval_substituter = s3://nix-test-cache
Also, the public key of the binary cache must be added to
binary-cache-public-keys in nix.conf, otherwise the local nix-daemon
won't allow the store paths to be copied over.
Also, remove support in hydra-eval-jobs for multiple jobset input
alternatives. The web interface hasn't supported this in a long
time. Thus we can use the regular "--arg" handler.
This makes downloading/viewing build results work with binary cache
stores. For good performance, this should be used in conjunction with
ca580bec35,
i.e. you should set store_uri to something like
s3://my-cache?local-nar-cache=/tmp/nar-cache
to cache NARs between requests.
When creating a Hydra user with the `hydra-create-user` command, you can now
provide a SHA1 password hash with the `--password-hash` flag. This is useful for
the upcoming work on Fully Declarative Hydra, since the end user should not have
to specify plaintext passwords in their `configuration.nix` file.
Thus, we no longer hold the send lock while substituting missing paths
on the build machine. This is a good thing in particular for macOS
builders which have a tendency to hang forever in curl downloads.
Previously, when hydra-queue-runner was restarted, any pending "build
finished" notifications were lost. Now hydra-queue-runner marks
finished but unnotified builds in the database and uses that to run
pending notifications at startup.
The queue runner can now run up to ‘max-concurrent-notifications’ in
parallel (default is 2). This is useful when some hydra-notify
invocations can take a long time to complete (e.g. because they need
to compress a giant build log) and we don't want this to block all
other notifications.
As @dtzWill discovered, with the concurrent hydra-evaluator, there can
be multiple active transactions adding builds to the database. As a
result, builds can become visible in a non-monotonically increasing
order, breaking the queue monitor's assumption that build IDs only go
up.
The fix is to have hydra-eval-jobset provide the lowest build ID it
just added in the builds_added notification, and have the queue
monitor check from there.
Fixes#496.
This plugin will post to the build status system in BitBucket. In order
to use it you need to add to ExtraConfig
<bitbucket>
username = bitbucket_username
password = bitbucket_password
</bitbucket>
You can use an application password https://blog.bitbucket.org/2016/06/06/app-passwords-bitbucket-cloud/
This can take an excessive amount of time. For example, on
hydra.nixos.org, a call to hydra-notify takes 0.7s even if there are
no plugins. So for an eval with ~45K new builds, the calls to
hydra-notify add up to about 9 hours.
The proper fix would be to pass a list of build IDs, or an eval ID.
This can be used with declarative projects to build PRs.
The github_authorization section should contain verbatim Authorization header contents keyed by repo owner for private repos
1. From the hydra configuration file.
The configuration is loaded from the "git-input" block.
Currently only the "timeout" variable is been looked up in the file.
<git-input>
# general timeout
timeout = 400
<input-name>
# specific timeout for a particular input name
timeout = 400
</input-name>
# use quotes when the input name has spaces
<"foot with spaces">
# specific timeout for a particular input name
timeout = 400
</"foo with spaces">
</git-input>
2. As an argument in the input value after the repo url and branch (and after the deepClone if is defined)
"timeout=<value>"
The preference on which value is used:
1. input value
2. Block with the name of the input in the <git-input> block
3. "timeout" inside the <git-input> block
4. Default value of 600 seconds. (original hard-coded value)
The code is generalized for more values to be configured, it might be too much
for a single value on a single plugin.
