With the current implementation, if ANY hash was found inside the decl
spec, the spec would be treated as static. This is problematic since
`inputs` is a hash and hence any configuration would be handled as a
static one.
This fixes the code to match the documentation and only switch to static
processing when ALL values are hashes.
As of https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/737 (removal of sqlite
dependency), the only supported database is Postgresql.
This change removes all references to hydra-postgresql.sql file. This
file is generated using a cpp on hydra.sql, but doesn't differ from
hydra.sql at all.
PathInput plugin keeps a cache of path evaluations. This cache is simple, and
path is not checked more than once every N seconds, where N=30. The caching is
there to avoid expensive calls to `nix-store --add`.
This change makes the validity period configurable. The main use case is
`api-test.pl` which was implemented wrong for a while, as the invocation of
`hydra-eval-jobset` would return the previous evaluation, claiming there are no
changes. The test has been fixed to check better for a new evaluation.
`build_finished` Postgres event will never be fired for the dependent builds.
For example, on our Hydra, the following query always returns increasing
numbers, even though all notifications have been delivered:
```
hydra=> select count(1) from builds where notificationpendingsince is not null;
count
-------
4583
(1 row)
```
Thus, we have to iterate over all dependent builds and mark their
`notificationpendingsince` as `null`, otherwise they will pile up until
the next restart of hydra-notify, when they will get delivered.
When deploying Hydra different than hydra.nixos.org one may encounter a problem
as building any job that uses IFD fails with:

'/nix/store/2jm02mfiv58rpy8zrx95cpqxzsp64ssh-source.drv' during evaluation but
'allow-import-from-derivation' is false"
The recent change enforced passing `--no-allow-import-from-derivation`
to `hydra-eval-job` unconditionally. This change makes it configurable and
defaults to **NOT PASSING IT** -- most of the deployments allow IFDs.
The configuration option is called `allow_import_from_derivation` and
defaults to `true`. It is interpreted as a boolean, with only true option being
`true`.
Taken from `Perl::Critic`:
A common idiom in perl for dealing with possible errors is to use `eval`
followed by a check of `$@`/`$EVAL_ERROR`:
eval {
...
};
if ($EVAL_ERROR) {
...
}
There's a problem with this: the value of `$EVAL_ERROR` (`$@`) can change
between the end of the `eval` and the `if` statement. The issue are object
destructors:
package Foo;
...
sub DESTROY {
...
eval { ... };
...
}
package main;
eval {
my $foo = Foo->new();
...
};
if ($EVAL_ERROR) {
...
}
Assuming there are no other references to `$foo` created, when the
`eval` block in `main` is exited, `Foo::DESTROY()` will be invoked,
regardless of whether the `eval` finished normally or not. If the `eval`
in `main` fails, but the `eval` in `Foo::DESTROY()` succeeds, then
`$EVAL_ERROR` will be empty by the time that the `if` is executed.
Additional issues arise if you depend upon the exact contents of
`$EVAL_ERROR` and both `eval`s fail, because the messages from both will
be concatenated.
Even if there isn't an `eval` directly in the `DESTROY()` method code,
it may invoke code that does use `eval` or otherwise affects
`$EVAL_ERROR`.
The solution is to ensure that, upon normal exit, an `eval` returns a
true value and to test that value:
# Constructors are no problem.
my $object = eval { Class->new() };
# To cover the possiblity that an operation may correctly return a
# false value, end the block with "1":
if ( eval { something(); 1 } ) {
...
}
eval {
...
1;
}
or do {
# Error handling here
};
Unfortunately, you can't use the `defined` function to test the result;
`eval` returns an empty string on failure.
Various modules have been written to take some of the pain out of
properly localizing and checking `$@`/`$EVAL_ERROR`. For example:
use Try::Tiny;
try {
...
} catch {
# Error handling here;
# The exception is in $_/$ARG, not $@/$EVAL_ERROR.
}; # Note semicolon.
"But we don't use DESTROY() anywhere in our code!" you say. That may be
the case, but do any of the third-party modules you use have them? What
about any you may use in the future or updated versions of the ones you
already use?
The original code would return standard "Please come back later" page when there
are only fetch errors on a newly setup declarative project. The problem is that
there are two types of errors: standard errors and fetch errors. Each is
acompanied by a corresponding field for time of occurence. Standard errors use
'errortime', while fetch errors have 'lastchecktime' set to the time of the
error. Unfortunately, jobset.tt file was only using 'errortime' for displaying
the time. This would result in the following errors in logs:
Couldn't render template "date error - bad time/date string: expects 'hⓂ️s dⓂ️y' got: ''
This change includes using 'lastchecktime' when rendering the error times.
The current implementation will pass all values to `create_or_update` method. The
missing values will end up as `undef` (or `NULL`) when assigned to `%update`.
Thus, for columns that are NOT NULL, when, for example, flakes are not used,
will result in a horrible:
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_dbh_execute(): DBI Exception: DBD::Pg::st execute failed:
ERROR: null value in column "type" violates not-null constraint

This change just omits adding such values to `%update`, which results in
PostgreSQL assigning the default values.
The previous code converted option values to ints when the value
contained a digit somewhere. This is too eager since it also converts
strings like `release-0.2` to an int which should not happen.
We now only convert to int when the value is an integer.
This plugin is a counterpart to GithubPulls plugin. Instead of fetching pull
requests, it will fetch all references (branches and tags) that start with a
particular prefix.
The plugin is a copy of GithubPulls plugin with appropriate changes to call the
right API and parse the config matching the need.
To quote the function's comment:
Awful hack to handle timeouts in SQLite: just retry the transaction.
DBD::SQLite *has* a 30 second retry window, but apparently it
doesn't work.
Since SQLite is now dropped entirely, this wrapper can be removed
completely.
SQLite isn't properly supported by Hydra for a few years now[1], but
Hydra still depends on it. Apart from a slightly bigger closure this can
cause confusion by users since Hydra picks up SQLite rather than
PostgreSQL by default if HYDRA_DBI isn't configured properly[2]

If we don't see machine that supports a build step for
'max_unsupported_time' seconds, the step is aborted. The default is 0,
which is appropriate for Hydra installations that don't provision
missing machines dynamically.
When I browse failed builds in a jobset-eval on Hydra, I regularly
mistake actual build-failures with temporary issues like timeouts (that
probably disappear at the next eval).
To prevent this kind of issue, I figured that using the stopsign-svg for
builds with timeouts or exceeded log-limits is a reasonable choice for
the following reasons:
* A user can now distinguish between actual build-errors (like
compilation-failures or oversized outputs) and (usually) temporary issues
(like a bloated log or a timeout).
* The stopsign is also used for aborted jobs that are shown in a
different tab and can't be confused with timeouts for that reason.
Declarative jobsets were broken by the Nix update, causing
nix cat-file to break silently.
This commit restores declarative jobsets, based on top of a commit
making it easier to see what broke.
In the past, jobsets which are automatically evaluated are evaluated
regularly, on a schedule. This schedule means a new evaluation is
created every checkInterval seconds (assuming something changed.)
This model works well for architectures where our build farm can
easily keep up with demand.
This commit adds a new type of evaluation, called ONE_AT_A_TIME, which
only schedules a new evaluation if the previous evaluation of the
jobset has no unfinished builds.
This model of evaluation lets us have 'low-tier' architectures.
For example, we could now have a jobset for ARMv7l builds, where
the buildfarm only has a single, underpowered ARMv7l builder.
Configuring that jobset as ONE_AT_A_TIME will create an evaluation
and then won't schedule another evaluation until every job of
the existing evaluation is complete.
This way, the cache will have a complete collection of pre-built
software for some commits, but the underpowered architecture will
never become backlogged in ancient revisions.
