- Clarify doc comments, Installables::getCursors returns non-empty
vector
- Use vector::at in Installable::getCursor instead of checking for empty
vector and throwing an exception with error message.
Handle the case where none of getActualAttrPaths() actually exists,
in which case instead of returning an empty vector.
This fixes the case where the user misspells the attribute name in nix
search. Instead of getting no search results, now it shows an error with
suggestions.
Also remove InstallableFlake::getCursor() override since it's now
equivalent to the base class version.
This should be a non-empty set, and so we don't want people doing this
by accident. We remove the zero-0 constructor with a little inheritance
trickery.
`DerivedPath::Built` and `DerivationGoal` were previously using a
regular set with the convention that the empty set means all outputs.
But it is easy to forget about this rule when processing those sets.
Using `OutputSpec` forces us to get it right.
This has the same goal as b13fd4c58e81b2b2b0d72caa5ce80de861622610,but
achieves it in a different way in order to not break
`nix why-depends --derivation`.
This makes 'nix build' work on paths (which will be copied to the
store) and store paths (returned as is). E.g. the following flake
output attributes can be built using 'nix build .#foo':
foo = ./src;
foo = self.outPath;
foo = builtins.fetchTarball { ... };
foo = (builtins.fetchTree { .. }).outPath;
foo = builtins.fetchTree { .. } + "/README.md";
foo = builtins.storePath /nix/store/...;
Note that this is potentially risky, e.g.
foo = /.;
will cause Nix to try to copy the entire file system to the store.
What doesn't work yet:
foo = self;
foo = builtins.fetchTree { .. };
because we don't handle attrsets with an outPath attribute in it yet,
and
foo = builtins.storePath /nix/store/.../README.md;
since result symlinks have to point to a store path currently (rather
than a file inside a store path).
Fixes#7417.
Defers completion of flake inputs until the whole command line is parsed
so that we know what flakes we need to complete the inputs of.
Previously, `nix build flake --update-input <Tab>` always behaved like
`nix build . --update-input <Tab>`.
Allow `nix build flake1 flake2 --update-input <Tab>` to complete the
inputs of both flakes.
Also do tilde expansion so that `nix build ~/flake --update-input <Tab>`
works.
Currently nix-build prints the "printMissing" information by default,
nix build doesn’t.
People generally don‘t notice this because the standard log-format of
nix build would not display the printMissing
output long enough to perceive the information.
