Valentin Gagarin	fd82ba0985	extract reference documentation on remote builds (#9526) ... - move all reference documentation to the `builders` configuration setting - reword documentation on machine specification, add examples - disable showing the default value, as it rendered as `@/dummy/machines`, which is wrong - highlight the examples - link to the configuration docs for distributed builds - builder -> build machine Co-authored-by: Janik H <janik@aq0.de>	2024-02-13 14:13:56 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin	ce19338f9f	update glossary entry on store types ... the interesting information is on the proper pages, and is now presented a bit more prominently. the paragraph was a bit confusing to read, also because an anchor link to an inline definition was in the middle of the sentence. "local store" now has its own glossary entry.	2024-02-13 13:30:17 +01:00

nbelakovski	4496a4537b	Update values.md ... Link to elemAt	2024-02-11 22:52:49 -08:00
nbelakovski	f298159a2b	Add a note about lists values.md ... There's probably more that can be said, but I thought it might be helpful to put something here about how to access elements of a list for folks coming from more or less any other programming language. If this is rarely used, it might be nice to add to the documentation something about why it's rarely used.	2024-02-10 18:52:39 -08:00
BOHverkill	53eecae525	Fix link to derivation in string interpolation doc ... The reference link definition for it pointing to the glossary was removed, so it is currently not displayed as a link.	2024-02-10 17:27:16 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin	60045f9c96	add clickable anchor links ... how the different invocations relate to each other seems be confusing, which is relatable because one has to wire it up in your head while reading. an explicit reference should make it unambiguous and easier to notice due to links being highlighted.	2024-02-09 10:41:03 +01:00
Rebecca Turner	0f1269243b	Revert "Add release notes for "Stack traces are more compact"" ... This reverts commit b2868acbdc.	2024-02-08 10:09:47 -08:00

Théophane Hufschmitt	0dea16e686	Mention OPTIMIZE=0 more prominently in the hacking guide ... This is a game-changer when developing, it shouldn't just be hidden amongst a list of more advanced variables.	2024-02-08 09:50:12 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin	e486b76eef	move JSON section into Formats and Protocols	2024-02-08 09:13:58 +01:00
Valentin Gagarin	2d74b56aee	fix location of _redirects file ... the Netlify `_redirects` file must be in the root directory [0] of the files to serve, and mdBook copies all the files in `src` that aren't `.md` to the output directory [1]. [0]: https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/ [1]: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/guide/creating.html#source-files	2024-02-06 23:22:34 +01:00

Robert Hensing	40254092dd	Merge pull request #9770 from hercules-ci/refactor-rename-derivation-isPure ... Refactor rename derivation type `isPure`	2024-01-27 11:24:20 +01:00
Robert Hensing	6a99c18c30	doc/glossary: Define impure derivation	2024-01-27 11:00:10 +01:00
Rebecca Turner	83bb494a30	Print the value in error: cannot coerce messages ... 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.	2024-01-23 15:15:41 -08:00

John Ericson	edf3ecc497	Document JSON formats ... Good to document these formats separately from commands that happen to use them. Eventually I would like this and `builtins.derivation` to refer to a store section on derivations that is authoritative, but that doesn't yet exist, and will take some time to make. So I think we're just best off merging this now as is. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>	2024-01-20 17:03:47 -05:00
John Ericson	a34ec0bd12	Include store path exact spec in the docs ... This is niche, but deserves to be in the manual because it is describing behavior visible to the outside world, not mere implementation details.	2024-01-18 22:19:14 -05:00
