structured attrs: improve support / usage of NIX_ATTRS_{SH,JSON}_FILE In #4770 I implemented proper `nix-shell(1)` support for derivations using `__structuredAttrs = true;`. Back then we decided to introduce two new environment variables, `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` for `.attrs.sh` and `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` for `.attrs.json`. This was to avoid having to copy these files to `$NIX_BUILD_TOP` in a `nix-shell(1)` session which effectively meant copying these files to the project dir without cleaning up afterwords[1]. On last NixCon I resumed hacking on `__structuredAttrs = true;` by default for `nixpkgs` with a few other folks and getting back to it, I identified a few problems with the how it's used in `nixpkgs`: * A lot of builders in `nixpkgs` don't care about the env vars and assume that `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are in `$NIX_BUILD_TOP`. The sole reason why this works is that `nix-shell(1)` sources the contents of `.attrs.sh` and then sources `$stdenv/setup` if it exists. This may not be pretty, but it mostly works. One notable difference when using nixpkgs' stdenv as of now is however that `$__structuredAttrs` is set to `1` on regular builds, but set to an empty string in a shell session. Also, `.attrs.json` cannot be used in shell sessions because it can only be accessed by `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` and not by `$NIX_BUILD_TOP/.attrs.json`. I considered changing Nix to be compatible with what nixpkgs effectively does, but then we'd have to either move $NIX_BUILD_TOP for shell sessions to a temporary location (and thus breaking a lot of assumptions) or we'd reintroduce all the problems we solved back then by using these two env vars. This is partly because I didn't document these variables back then (mea culpa), so I decided to drop all mentions of `.attrs.{json,sh}` in the manual and only refer to `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` and `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE`. The same applies to all our integration tests. Theoretically we could deprecated using `"$NIX_BUILD_TOP"/.attrs.sh` in the future now. * `nix develop` and `nix print-dev-env` don't support this environment variable at all even though they're supposed to be part of the replacement for `nix-shell` - for the drv debugging part to be precise. This isn't a big deal for the vast majority of derivations, i.e. derivations relying on nixpkgs' `stdenv` wiring things together properly. This is because `nix develop` effectively "clones" the derivation and replaces the builder with a script that dumps all of the environment, shell variables, functions etc, so the state of structured attrs being "sourced" is transmitted into the dev shell and most of the time you don't need to worry about `.attrs.sh` not existing because the shell is correctly configured and the if [ -e .attrs.sh ]; then source .attrs.sh; fi is simply omitted. However, this will break when having a derivation that reads e.g. from `.attrs.json` like with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { __structuredAttrs = true; foo.bar = 23; } '' cat $NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE # doesn't work because it points to /build/.attrs.json '' To work around this I employed a similar approach as it exists for `nix-shell`: the `NIX_ATTRS_{JSON,SH}_FILE` vars are replaced with temporary locations. The contents of `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are now written into the JSON by `get-env.sh`, the builder that `nix develop` injects into the derivation it's debugging. So finally the exact file contents are present and exported by `nix develop`. I also made `.attrs.json` a JSON string in the JSON printed by `get-env.sh` on purpose because then it's not necessary to serialize the object structure again. `nix develop` only needs the JSON as string because it's only written into the temporary file. I'm not entirely sure if it makes sense to also use a temporary location for `nix print-dev-env` (rather than just skipping the rewrite in there), but this would probably break certain cases where it's relied upon `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` to exist (prime example are the `nix print-dev-env` test-cases I wrote in this patch using `tests/shell.nix`, these would fail because the env var exists, but it cannot read from it).

So finally the exact file contents are present and exported by `nix develop`. I also made `.attrs.json` a JSON string in the JSON printed by `get-env.sh` on purpose because then it's not necessary to serialize the object structure again. `nix develop` only needs the JSON as string because it's only written into the temporary file. I'm not entirely sure if it makes sense to also use a temporary location for `nix print-dev-env` (rather than just skipping the rewrite in there), but this would probably break certain cases where it's relied upon `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` to exist (prime example are the `nix print-dev-env` test-cases I wrote in this patch using `tests/shell.nix`, these would fail because the env var exists, but it cannot read from it).

structured attrs: improve support / usage of NIX_ATTRS_{SH,JSON}_FILE In #4770 I implemented proper `nix-shell(1)` support for derivations using `__structuredAttrs = true;`. Back then we decided to introduce two new environment variables, `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` for `.attrs.sh` and `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` for `.attrs.json`. This was to avoid having to copy these files to `$NIX_BUILD_TOP` in a `nix-shell(1)` session which effectively meant copying these files to the project dir without cleaning up afterwords[1]. On last NixCon I resumed hacking on `__structuredAttrs = true;` by default for `nixpkgs` with a few other folks and getting back to it, I identified a few problems with the how it's used in `nixpkgs`: * A lot of builders in `nixpkgs` don't care about the env vars and assume that `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are in `$NIX_BUILD_TOP`. The sole reason why this works is that `nix-shell(1)` sources the contents of `.attrs.sh` and then sources `$stdenv/setup` if it exists. This may not be pretty, but it mostly works. One notable difference when using nixpkgs' stdenv as of now is however that `$__structuredAttrs` is set to `1` on regular builds, but set to an empty string in a shell session. Also, `.attrs.json` cannot be used in shell sessions because it can only be accessed by `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` and not by `$NIX_BUILD_TOP/.attrs.json`. I considered changing Nix to be compatible with what nixpkgs effectively does, but then we'd have to either move $NIX_BUILD_TOP for shell sessions to a temporary location (and thus breaking a lot of assumptions) or we'd reintroduce all the problems we solved back then by using these two env vars. This is partly because I didn't document these variables back then (mea culpa), so I decided to drop all mentions of `.attrs.{json,sh}` in the manual and only refer to `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` and `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE`. The same applies to all our integration tests. Theoretically we could deprecated using `"$NIX_BUILD_TOP"/.attrs.sh` in the future now. * `nix develop` and `nix print-dev-env` don't support this environment variable at all even though they're supposed to be part of the replacement for `nix-shell` - for the drv debugging part to be precise. This isn't a big deal for the vast majority of derivations, i.e. derivations relying on nixpkgs' `stdenv` wiring things together properly. This is because `nix develop` effectively "clones" the derivation and replaces the builder with a script that dumps all of the environment, shell variables, functions etc, so the state of structured attrs being "sourced" is transmitted into the dev shell and most of the time you don't need to worry about `.attrs.sh` not existing because the shell is correctly configured and the if [ -e .attrs.sh ]; then source .attrs.sh; fi is simply omitted. However, this will break when having a derivation that reads e.g. from `.attrs.json` like with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { __structuredAttrs = true; foo.bar = 23; } '' cat $NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE # doesn't work because it points to /build/.attrs.json '' To work around this I employed a similar approach as it exists for `nix-shell`: the `NIX_ATTRS_{JSON,SH}_FILE` vars are replaced with temporary locations.

Make command infra less stateful and more regular Already, we had classes like `BuiltPathsCommand` and `StorePathsCommand` which provided alternative `run` virtual functions providing the implementation with more arguments. This was a very nice and easy way to make writing command; just fill in the virtual functions and it is fairly clear what to do. However, exception to this pattern were `Installable{,s}Command`. These two classes instead just had a field where the installables would be stored, and various side-effecting `prepare` and `load` machinery too fill them in. Command would wish out those fields. This isn't so clear to use. What this commit does is make those command classes like the others, with richer `run` functions. Not only does this restore the pattern making commands easier to write, it has a number of other benefits: - `prepare` and `load` are gone entirely! One command just hands just hands off to the next. - `useDefaultInstallables` because `defaultInstallables`. This takes over `prepare` for the one case that needs it, and provides enough flexiblity to handle `nix repl`'s idiosyncratic migration. - We can use `ref` instead of `std::shared_ptr`. The former must be initialized (so it is like Rust's `Box` rather than `Option<Box>`, This expresses the invariant that the installable are in fact initialized much better. This is possible because since we just have local variables not fields, we can stop worrying about the not-yet-initialized case. - Fewer lines of code! (Finally I have a large refactor that makes the number go down not up...) - `nix repl` is now implemented in a clearer way. The last item deserves further mention. `nix repl` is not like the other installable commands because instead working from once-loaded installables, it needs to be able to load them again and again. To properly support this, we make a new superclass `RawInstallablesCommand`. This class has the argument parsing and completion logic, but does *not* hand off parsed installables but instead just the raw string arguments. This is exactly what `nix repl` needs, and allows us to instead of having the logic awkwardly split between `prepare`, `useDefaultInstallables,` and `load`, have everything right next to each other. I think this will enable future simplifications of that argument defaulting logic, but I am saving those for a future PR --- best to keep code motion and more complicated boolean expression rewriting separate steps. The "diagnostic ignored `-Woverloaded-virtual`" pragma helps because C++ doesn't like our many `run` methods. In our case, we don't mind the shadowing it all --- it is *intentional* that the derived class only provides a `run` method, and doesn't call any of the overridden `run` methods.

These two classes instead just had a field where the installables would be stored, and various side-effecting `prepare` and `load` machinery too fill them in. Command would wish out those fields. This isn't so clear to use. What this commit does is make those command classes like the others, with richer `run` functions. Not only does this restore the pattern making commands easier to write, it has a number of other benefits: - `prepare` and `load` are gone entirely! One command just hands just hands off to the next. - `useDefaultInstallables` because `defaultInstallables`. This takes over `prepare` for the one case that needs it, and provides enough flexiblity to handle `nix repl`'s idiosyncratic migration. - We can use `ref` instead of `std::shared_ptr`. The former must be initialized (so it is like Rust's `Box` rather than `Option<Box>`, This expresses the invariant that the installable are in fact initialized much better. This is possible because since we just have local variables not fields, we can stop worrying about the not-yet-initialized case. - Fewer lines of code! (Finally I have a large refactor that makes the number go down not up...) - `nix repl` is now implemented in a clearer way. The last item deserves further mention. `nix repl` is not like the other installable commands because instead working from once-loaded installables, it needs to be able to load them again and again. To properly support this, we make a new superclass `RawInstallablesCommand`. This class has the argument parsing and completion logic, but does *not* hand off parsed installables but instead just the raw string arguments. This is exactly what `nix repl` needs, and allows us to instead of having the logic awkwardly split between `prepare`, `useDefaultInstallables,` and `load`, have everything right next to each other. I think this will enable future simplifications of that argument defaulting logic, but I am saving those for a future PR --- best to keep code motion and more complicated boolean expression rewriting separate steps. The "diagnostic ignored `-Woverloaded-virtual`" pragma helps because C++ doesn't like our many `run` methods. In our case, we don't mind the shadowing it all --- it is *intentional* that the derived class only provides a `run` method, and doesn't call any of the overridden `run` methods.

structured attrs: improve support / usage of NIX_ATTRS_{SH,JSON}_FILE In #4770 I implemented proper `nix-shell(1)` support for derivations using `__structuredAttrs = true;`. Back then we decided to introduce two new environment variables, `NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` for `.attrs.sh` and `NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` for `.attrs.json`. This was to avoid having to copy these files to `$NIX_BUILD_TOP` in a `nix-shell(1)` session which effectively meant copying these files to the project dir without cleaning up afterwords[1]. On last NixCon I resumed hacking on `__structuredAttrs = true;` by default for `nixpkgs` with a few other folks and getting back to it, I identified a few problems with the how it's used in `nixpkgs`: * A lot of builders in `nixpkgs` don't care about the env vars and assume that `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are in `$NIX_BUILD_TOP`. The sole reason why this works is that `nix-shell(1)` sources the contents of `.attrs.sh` and then sources `$stdenv/setup` if it exists. This may not be pretty, but it mostly works. One notable difference when using nixpkgs' stdenv as of now is however that `$__structuredAttrs` is set to `1` on regular builds, but set to an empty string in a shell session. Also, `.attrs.json` cannot be used in shell sessions because it can only be accessed by `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE` and not by `$NIX_BUILD_TOP/.attrs.json`. I considered changing Nix to be compatible with what nixpkgs effectively does, but then we'd have to either move $NIX_BUILD_TOP for shell sessions to a temporary location (and thus breaking a lot of assumptions) or we'd reintroduce all the problems we solved back then by using these two env vars. This is partly because I didn't document these variables back then (mea culpa), so I decided to drop all mentions of `.attrs.{json,sh}` in the manual and only refer to `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` and `$NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE`. The same applies to all our integration tests. Theoretically we could deprecated using `"$NIX_BUILD_TOP"/.attrs.sh` in the future now. * `nix develop` and `nix print-dev-env` don't support this environment variable at all even though they're supposed to be part of the replacement for `nix-shell` - for the drv debugging part to be precise. This isn't a big deal for the vast majority of derivations, i.e. derivations relying on nixpkgs' `stdenv` wiring things together properly. This is because `nix develop` effectively "clones" the derivation and replaces the builder with a script that dumps all of the environment, shell variables, functions etc, so the state of structured attrs being "sourced" is transmitted into the dev shell and most of the time you don't need to worry about `.attrs.sh` not existing because the shell is correctly configured and the if [ -e .attrs.sh ]; then source .attrs.sh; fi is simply omitted. However, this will break when having a derivation that reads e.g. from `.attrs.json` like with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { __structuredAttrs = true; foo.bar = 23; } '' cat $NIX_ATTRS_JSON_FILE # doesn't work because it points to /build/.attrs.json '' To work around this I employed a similar approach as it exists for `nix-shell`: the `NIX_ATTRS_{JSON,SH}_FILE` vars are replaced with temporary locations. The contents of `.attrs.sh` and `.attrs.json` are now written into the JSON by `get-env.sh`, the builder that `nix develop` injects into the derivation it's debugging. So finally the exact file contents are present and exported by `nix develop`. I also made `.attrs.json` a JSON string in the JSON printed by `get-env.sh` on purpose because then it's not necessary to serialize the object structure again. `nix develop` only needs the JSON as string because it's only written into the temporary file. I'm not entirely sure if it makes sense to also use a temporary location for `nix print-dev-env` (rather than just skipping the rewrite in there), but this would probably break certain cases where it's relied upon `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` to exist (prime example are the `nix print-dev-env` test-cases I wrote in this patch using `tests/shell.nix`, these would fail because the env var exists, but it cannot read from it).
