Eelco Dolstra 1607ad5076 Fix uninitialized readFromStdIn variable
This was causing random failures in tests/ca/substitute.ca: 'nix copy
--file ./content-addressed.nix' wouldn't get the default installable
'.' applied in InstallablesCommand::load(), so it would do nothing.

InstallableFlake: Apply nix config in `getCursors`
2023-03-06 11:08:51 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin 2af9fd20c6 clarify definition of "installable"
the term was hard to discover, as its definition and explanation were in
a very long document lacking an overview section.
search did not help because it occurs so often.

- clarify wording in the definition
- add an overview of installable types
- add "installable" to glossary
- link to definition from occurrences of the term
- be more precise about where store derivation outputs are processed
- installable Nix expressions must evaluate to a derivation

John Ericson ea0adfc582 Get rid of .drv special-casing for store path installables
The release notes document the change in behavior, I don't include it
here so there is no risk to it getting out of sync.

> Motivation

>> Plumbing CLI should be simple

Store derivation installations are intended as "plumbing": very simple
utilities for advanced users and scripts, and not what regular users
interact with. (Similarly, regular Git users will use branch and tag
names not explicit hashes for most things.)

The plumbing CLI should prize simplicity over convenience; that is its
raison d'etre. If the user provides a path, we should treat it the same
way not caring what sort of path it is.

>> Scripting

This is especially important for the scripting use-case. when arbitrary
paths are sent to e.g. `nix copy` and the script author wants consistent
behavior regardless of what those store paths are. Otherwise the script
author needs to be careful to filter out `.drv` ones, and then run `nix
copy` again with those paths and `--derivation`. That is not good!

>> Surprisingly low impact

Only two lines in the tests need changing, showing that the impact of
this is pretty light.

Many command, like `nix log` will continue to work with just the
derivation passed as before. This because we used to:

- Special case the drv path and replace it with it's outputs (what this
  gets rid of).

- Turn those output path *back* into the original drv path.

Now we just skip that entire round trip!

> Context

Issue #7261 lays out a broader vision for getting rid of `--derivation`,
and has this as one of its dependencies. But we can do this with or
without that.

`Installable::toDerivations` is changed to handle the case of a
`DerivedPath::Opaque` ending in `.drv`, which is new: it simply doesn't
need to do any extra work in that case. On this basis, commands like
`nix {show-derivation,log} /nix/store/...-foo.drv` still work as before,
as described above.

When testing older daemons, the post-build-hook will be run against the
old CLI, so we need the old version of the post-build-hook to support
that use-case.

feat: read installable paths from stdin
Resolves #7437 for new `nix` commands only by adding a `--stdin` flag.

If paths are also passed on the cli they will be combined with the ones
from standard input.

Eelco Dolstra 5978ceb271 Fix building with GCC 9
Nixpkgs on aarch64-linux is currently stuck on GCC 9
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208412) and using gcc11Stdenv
doesn't work either.

So use c++2a instead of c++20 for now. Unfortunately this means we
can't use some C++20 features for now (like std::span).

John Ericson 44bea52ae3 Scope down --derivation to just the commands that use it
Per the old FIXME, this flag was on too many commands, and mostly
ignored. Now it is just on the commands where it actually has an effect.

Per https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7261, I would still like to get
rid of it entirely, but that is a separate project. This change should
be good with or without doing that.

John Ericson 45fa297e40 Factor out InstallableStorePath to its own file, dedup
`nix app` had something called `InstallableDerivedPath` which is
actually the same thing. We go with the later's name because it has
become more correct.

I originally did this change (more hurriedly) as part of #6225 --- a
mini store-only Nix and a full Nix need to share this code. In the first
RFC meeting for https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134 we discussed how
some splitting of the massive `installables.cc` could begin prior, as
that is a good thing anyways. (@edolstra's words, not mine!) This would
be one such PR.

dramforever b26562c629 InstallableFlake: Handle missing attr in getCursors
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.

Eelco Dolstra 5c97b5a398 InstallableFlake::toDerivedPaths(): Support paths and store paths
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.
