https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10555 added a check requiring
that output parameters always have an uninitialized Value as argument.
Unfortunately the output parameter of the primop callback received
a thunk instead.
See the comment for implementation considerations.
This was accidentally removed in
e989c83b44. I restored it and also did a
few other cleanups:
- Make a static method for namespacing purposes
- Put the test files in the data dir with the other test data
- Avoid mutating globals in the machine config tests
This will be used by Hydra.
In particular `local://<path>` and `unix://` (without any path) now
work, and mean the same things as `local` and `daemon`, respectively. We
thus now have the opportunity to desguar `local` and `daemon` early.
This will allow me to make a change to
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9839 requested during review to
desugar those earlier.

1. Hydra currently queries for multiple path infos at once, so let us
make a connection item for that.
2. The minimum of the two versions should always be used, see #9584.
(The issue remains open because the daemon protocol needs to be
likewise updated.)
The JSON format no longer uses the legacy ATerm `r:` prefixing nonsese,
but separate fields.

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

previously the test directory could have been left untouched before executing
a test when `init.sh` was not run - and sometimes it isn't
supposed to be run - which made the test suite highly stateful and thus
behaving surprisingly on multiple runs.
pararameterisation is not actually needed the way things are currently
set up, and it confused me when trying to understand what the code does.
all but one test sources vars-and-functions.sh, which nominally only
defines variables, but in practice is always coupled with the actual
initialisation. while the cleaner way of making this more legible would
be to source variables and initialisation separately, this would produce
a huge diff.
the change requires a few small fixes to keep the tests working:
- only create test home directory during initialisation
that vars-and-functions.sh wrote to the file system seems not write
- fix creation of the test directory
due to statefulness, the test home directory was implicitly creating
the test root, too. decoupling that made it apparent that this was
probably not intentional, and certainly confusing.
- only source vars-and-functions.sh if init.sh is not needed
there is one test case that only needs a helper function but no
initialisation side effects
- remove some unnecessary cleanups and split parts of re-used test code
there were confusing bits in how initialisation code was repurposed,
which break if trying to refactor the outer layers naively...
In streaming mode, libarchive doesn't handle symlinks in zip files
correctly. So write the entire file to disk so libarchive can access
it in random-access mode.
Fixes#10649. This was broken in cabee98152.
builtins.strictDerivation returns an attribute set with drvPath and
output paths. For some reason, current implementation forbids drv
instead of drvPath.
Different parts of the project honor different sets of proxy environment
variables. With this commit all parts of the project will honor the same

Now that SourcePath uses a SourceAccessor instead of an InputAccessor,
we can use it in function signatures instead of passing a
SourceAccessor and CanonPath separately.
Make sure that `extraSandboxProfile` is set before we check whether it's
empty or not (in the `sandbox=true` case).
Also adds a test case for this.

After the removal of the InputAccessor::fetchToStore() method, the
only remaining functionality in InputAccessor was `fingerprint` and
`getLastModified()`, and there is no reason to keep those in a
separate class.
Add a method to check if a value has been initialized. This helps avoid
segfaults when calling `type()`.
Useful in the context of the new C API.
Closes#10524
This reverts commit 62feb5ca09263c78ddb692836228223e5b58d3ae.
It runs as part of the functional tests, which control the environment,
solving some of the problems a default config has when run in the
sandbox.
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

This also reworks the Mercurial fetcher (which was still using the
old cache interface) to have two distinct cache mappings:
* A ref-to-rev mapping, which is store-independent.
* A rev-to-store-path mapping.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8699#discussion_r1554312181
Casting a function pointer to `void*` is undefined behavior in the C
spec, since there are platforms with different sizes for these two kinds
of pointers. A safe alternative might be `void (*callback)()`
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10456 fixed the addition of symlink
store paths to the sandbox, but also made it so that the hardcoded
sandbox paths (like `/etc/hosts`) were now bind-mounted without
following the possible symlinks. This made these files unreadable if
there were symlinks (because the sandbox would now contain a symlink to
an unreachable file rather than the underlying file).
In particular, this broke FOD derivations on NixOS as `/etc/hosts` is a
symlink there.
Fix that by canonicalizing all these hardcoded sandbox paths before
adding them to the sandbox.
This requires moving resolveSymlinks() into SourceAccessor. Also, it
requires LocalStoreAccessor::maybeLstat() to work on parents of the
store (to avoid an error like "/nix is not in the store").
Fixes#10375.
Instead of relying on setup script to set output variables when
structured attributes are enabled, iterate over the values of an
outputs associative array.

This probably snuck in in a refactor using truthiness or so. The
trustedness flag was having the optional fullness checked, rather than
the actual contained trust level.
Also adds some tests.

When querying all paths in a binary cache store, the path's representation
is `<hash>-x` (where `x` is the value of `MissingName`) because the .narinfo
filenames only contain the hash.
Before cc46ea1630 this worked correctly,
because the entire path info was read and the path from this
representation was printed, i.e. in the form `<hash>-<name>`. Since then
however, the direct result from `queryAllValidPaths()` was used as `path`.
Added a regression test to make sure the behavior remains correct.
It's a little weird we don't check the return status for these, but
changing that would introduce risk so I did not.

This introduces new utility functions to get elements from JSON — in an ergonomic way and with nice error messages if the expected type does not match.
Co-authored-by: John Ericson <John.Ericson@Obsidian.Systems>
Thunks are now overwritten by a helper function
`Value::finishValue(newType, payload)` (where `payload` is the
original anonymous union inside `Value`). This helps to ensure we
never update a value elsewhere, since that would be incompatible with
parallel evaluation (i.e. after a value has transitioned from being a
thunk to being a non-thunk, it should be immutable).
There were two places where this happened: `Value::mkString()` and
`ExprAttrs::eval()`.
This PR also adds a bunch of accessor functions for value contents,
like `Value::integer()` to access the integer field in the union.
I realized it was checking NAR hashes before of added objects, which
makes little sense --- we don't really care about ancillary NAR hashes.
Now, the bottom `nix store add` tests compare the CA field with a git
hash to hashes calculated by Git. This matches top `nix hash path` ones
in using git as a source of truth.
Previously, `state.mkList()` would set the type of the value to tList
and allocate the list vector, but it would not initialize the values
in the list. This has two problems:
* If an exception occurs, the list is left in an undefined state.
* More importantly, for multithreaded evaluation, if a value
transitions from thunk to non-thunk, it should be final (i.e. other
threads should be able to access the value safely).
To address this, there now is a `ListBuilder` class (analogous to
`BindingsBuilder`) to build the list vector prior to the call to
`Value::mkList()`. Typical usage:
auto list = state.buildList(size);
for (auto & v : list)
v = ... set value ...;
vRes.mkList(list);
* Add regression test
* Fix 'no repo' test so it doesn't succeed if the data is still in cache
* Use git_revparse_single inside git-utils instead of reimplementing the same logic.
Currently there isn't a convenient way to check for multiline output. In
addition, these outputs will easily change and having a diff between the
expected an the actual output upon failures is convenient.
we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and
their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual
concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage
and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report
positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique
to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although
at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not).
this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a
while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already
needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB
worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of
memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can
probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to
Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time
being this looks like more complexity than it's worth.
since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the
line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy:
mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin
of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add
measurable runtime overhead.
notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since
apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice
of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column
positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).
this needs a string comparison because there seems to be no other way to
get that information out of bison. usually the location info is going to
be correct (pointing at a bad token), but since EOF isn't a token as
such it'll be wrong in that this case.
this hasn't shown up much so far because a single line ending *is* a
token, so any file formatted in the usual manner (ie, ending in a line
ending) would have its EOF position reported correctly.
the parser treats a plain \r as a newline, error reports do not. this
can lead to interesting divergences if anything makes use of this
feature, with error reports pointing to wrong locations in the input (or
even outside the input altogether).
previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.
this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.
we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for
formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would
otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as
useful as one might expect.
the parser modifies its inputs, which means that sharing them between
the error context reporting system and the parser itself can confuse the
reporting system. usually this led to early truncation of error context
reports which, while not dangerous, can be quite confusing.
When reviewing old PRs, I found that #9997 adds some code to ensure one
particular assert is always present. But, removing asserts isn't
something we do in our own release builds either in the flake here or in
nixpkgs, and is plainly a bad idea that increases support burden,
especially if other distros make bad choices of build flags in their Nix
packaging.
For context, the assert macro in the C standard is defined to do nothing
if NDEBUG is set.
There is no way in our build system to set -DNDEBUG without manually
adding it to CFLAGS, so this is simply a configuration we do not use.
Let's ban it at compile time.
I put this preprocessor directive in src/libutil.cc because it is not
obvious where else to put it, and it seems like the most logical file
since you are not getting a usable nix without it.
Directly fail if a flakeref points to something that isn't a directory
instead of falling back to the logic of trying to look up the hierarchy
to find a valid flake root.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).
When a file conflict arises during a package install a suggestion is
made to remove the old entry. This was previously done using the
installable URLs of the old entry. These URLs are quite verbose and
often do not equal the URL of the existing entry.
This change uses the recently introduced profile entry name for the
suggestion, resulting in a simpler output.
The improvement is easily seen in the change to the functional test.
- `nix store add` supports text hashing
With functional test ensuring it matches `builtins.toFile`.
- Factored-out flags for both commands
- Move all common reusable flags to `libcmd`
- They are not part of the *definition* of the CLI infra, just a usag
of it.
- The `libstore` flag couldn't go in `args.hh` in libutil anyways,
would be awkward for it to live alone
- Shuffle around `Cmd*` hierarchy so flags for deprecated commands don't
end up on the new ones
It's better to just check whether the input has all the attributes
needed to consider itself locked (e.g. whether a Git input has an
'rev' attribute).
Also, the 'locked' field was actually incorrect for Git inputs: it
would be set to true even for dirty worktrees. As a result, we got
away with using fetchTree() internally even though fetchTree()
requires a locked input in pure mode. In particular, this allowed
'--override-input' to work by accident.
The fix is to pass a set of "overrides" to call-flake.nix for all the
unlocked inputs (i.e. the top-level flake and any --override-inputs).
This fixes warnings like
warning: Ignoring setting 'auto-allocate-uids' because experimental feature 'auto-allocate-uids' is not enabled
warning: Ignoring setting 'impure-env' because experimental feature 'configurable-impure-env' is not enabled
when using the daemon and the user didn't actually set those settings.
Note: this also hides those settings from `nix config show`, but that
seems a good thing.
`canonPath` and `absPath` work on native paths, and so should switch
between supporting Unix paths and Windows paths accordingly.
The templating is because `CanonPath`, which shares the implementation,
should always be Unix style. It is the pure "nix-native" path type for
virtual file operations --- it is part of Nix's "business logic", and
should not vary with the host OS accordingly.
The core `CanonPath` constructors were using `absPath`, but `absPath` in
some situations does IO which is not appropriate. It turns out that
these constructors avoided those situations, and thus were pure, but it
was far from obvious this was the case.
To remedy the situation, abstract the core algorithm from `canonPath` to
use separately in `CanonPath` without any IO. No we know by-construction
that those constructors are pure.
That leaves `CanonPath::fromCWD` as the only operation which uses IO /
is impure. Add docs on it, and `CanonPath` as a whole, explaining the
situation.
This is also necessary to support Windows paths on windows without
messing up `CanonPath`. But, I think it is good even without that.

Commit 83c067c0fa changed `builtins.pathExists`
to resolve symlinks before checking for existence. Consequently, if the path
refers to a symlink itself, existence of the target of the symlink (instead of
the symlink itself) was checked. Restore the previous behavior by skipping
symlink resolution in the last component.
No outward facing behavior is changed.
Older methods with same names that operate on on method + algo pair (for
old-style `<method>:algo`) are renamed to `*WithAlgo`.)
The functions are unit-tested in the same way the names for the hash
algorithms are tested.
for plain inherits this is really just a stylistic choice, but for
inherit-from it actually fixes an exponential size increase problem
during expr printing (as may happen during assertion failure reporting,
on during duplicate attr detection in the parser)
this also has the effect of sorting let bindings lexicographically
rather than by symbol creation order as was previously done, giving a
better canonicalization in the process.
When I started contributing to Nix, I found the mix of definitions and
names in `fmt.hh` to be rather confusing, especially the small
difference between `hintfmt` and `hintformat`. I've renamed many classes
and added documentation to most definitions.
- `formatHelper` is no longer exported.
- `fmt`'s documentation is now with `fmt` rather than (misleadingly)
above `formatHelper`.
- `yellowtxt` is renamed to `Magenta`.
`yellowtxt` wraps its value with `ANSI_WARNING`, but `ANSI_WARNING`
has been equal to `ANSI_MAGENTA` for a long time. Now the name is
updated.
- `normaltxt` is renamed to `Uncolored`.
- `hintfmt` has been merged into `hintformat` as extra constructor
functions.
- `hintformat` has been renamed to `hintfmt`.
- The single-argument `hintformat(std::string)` constructor has been
renamed to a static member `hintformat::interpolate` to avoid pitfalls
with using user-generated strings as format strings.
Pretty-print values in the REPL by printing each item in a list or
attrset on a separate line. When possible, single-item lists and
attrsets are printed on one line, as long as they don't contain a nested
list, attrset, or thunk.
Before:
```
{ attrs = { a = { b = { c = { }; }; }; }; list = [ 1 ]; list' = [ 1 2 3 ]; }
```
After:
```
{
attrs = {
a = {
b = {
c = { };
};
};
};
list = [ 1 ];
list' = [
1
2
3
];
}
```
Some tools which consume the "nix print-dev-env" rc script (such as
"nix-direnv") are sensitive to the use of unbound variables. They use
"set -u".
The "nix print-dev-env" rc script initially unsets "shellHook", then
loads variables from the derivation, and then evaluates "shellHook".
However, most derivations don't have a "shellHook" attribute.
So users get the error "shellHook: unbound variable". This can be
demonstrated with the command:
nix print-dev-env nixpkgs#hello | bash -u
This commit changes the rc script to provide an empty fallback value
for the "shellHook" variable.
Closes: #7951#8253
While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.
As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.
Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.
Use `diff --color=always` to print colored output for language test
failures. I've also flipped the arguments so that expected lines missing
from the actual output will be marked with a red `-` and additional
lines found in the actual output will be marked with a green `+`.
Previously it was the other way around, which was very confusing.
This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message
to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging
by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced
from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.
More invariants are enforced in the type, and less state needs to be
stored in the main sink itself. The method here is roughly that known as
"session types".

Low-hanging fruit in the spirit of #9753 and #9754 (means 9999years did
all the hard work already).
This basically prints out what was attempted to be called as function,
i.e.
map (import <nixpkgs> {}) [ 1 2 3 ]
now gives the following error message:
error:
… while calling the 'map' builtin
at «string»:1:1:
1| map (import <nixpkgs> {}) [ 1 2 3 ]
| ^
… while evaluating the first argument passed to builtins.map
error: expected a function but found a set: { _type = "pkgs"; AAAAAASomeThingsFailToEvaluate = «thunk»; AMB-plugins = «thunk»; ArchiSteamFarm = «thunk»; BeatSaberModManager = «thunk»; CHOWTapeModel = «thunk»; ChowCentaur = «thunk»; ChowKick = «thunk»; ChowPhaser = «thunk»; CoinMP = «thunk»; «18783 attributes elided»}
Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for
hash commands.
The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are
left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).
Add several tests for git fetching:
- shallow-cache-separation: can fetch the same repo shallowly and non-shallowly
- shallow-ignore-ref: ensure that ref gets ignored when shallow=true is set
- ssh-shallow: can fetch a git repo via ssh using shallow=1
Otherwise we get a stray `tests/functional/result`, which can cause
spurious failures later.
(I got a failure because the test temp dir effecting the store dir
changed. This caused a test later because Nix didn't want to remove the
old `result` because it wasn't pointing inside the new Nix store.)
