`buildPaths` can be called even for stores where it's not defined in case it's
bound to be a no-op.
The “no-op detection” mechanism was only detecting the case wher `buildPaths`
was called on a set of (non-drv) paths that were already present on the store.
This commit extends this mechanism to also detect the case where `buildPaths`
is called on a set of derivation outputs which are already built on the store.
This only works with the ca-derivations flag. It could be possible to
extend this to also work without it, but it would add quite a bit of
complexity, and it's not used without it anyways.
Extend `FSAccessor::readFile` to allow not checking that the path is a
valid one, and rewrite `readInvalidDerivation` using this extended
`readFile`.
Several places in the code use `readInvalidDerivation`, either because
they need to read a derivation that has been written in the store but
not registered yet, or more generally to prevent a deadlock because
`readDerivation` tries to lock the state, so can't be called from a
place where the lock is already held.
However, `readInvalidDerivation` implicitely assumes that the store is a
`LocalFSStore`, which isn't always the case.
The concrete motivation for this is that it's required for `nix copy
--from someBinaryCache` to work, which is tremendously useful for the
tests.
Because of a too eager refactoring, `addTextToStore` used to throw an
error because the input wasn't a valid nar.
Partially revert that refactoring to wrap the text into a proper nar
(using `dumpString`) to make this method work again
Rather than storing the derivation outputs as `drvPath!outputName` internally,
store them as `drvHashModulo!outputName` (or `outputHash!outputName` for
fixed-output derivations).
This makes the storage slightly more opaque, but enables an earlier
cutoff in cases where a fixed-output dependency changes (but keeps the
same output hash) − same as what we already do for input-addressed
derivations.
Add a new table for tracking the derivation output mappings.
We used to hijack the `DerivationOutputs` table for that, but (despite its
name), it isn't a really good fit:
- Its entries depend on the drv being a valid path, making it play badly with
garbage collection and preventing us to copy a drv output without copying
the whole drv closure too;
- It dosen't guaranty that the output path exists;
By using a different table, we can experiment with a different schema better
suited for tracking the output mappings of CA derivations.
(incidentally, this also fixes#4138)
For each known realisation, store:
- its output
- its output path
This comes with a set of needed changes:
- New `realisations` module declaring the types needed for describing
these mappings
- New `Store::registerDrvOutput` method registering all the needed informations
about a derivation output (also replaces `LocalStore::linkDeriverToPath`)
- new `Store::queryRealisation` method to retrieve the informations for a
derivations
This introcudes some redundancy on the remote-store side between
`wopQueryDerivationOutputMap` and `wopQueryRealisation`.
However we might need to keep both (regardless of backwards compat)
because we sometimes need to get some infos for all the outputs of a
derivation (where `wopQueryDerivationOutputMap` is handy), but all the
stores can't implement it − because listing all the outputs of a
derivation isn't really possible for binary caches where the server
doesn't allow to list a directory.
Otherwise https://cache.nixos.org is chosen by default, causing the OSX
testsuite to hang inside the sandbox.
(In a way, this is probably rugging an actual bug under the carpet as
Nix should be able to gracefully timeout in such a case, but that's
beyond mac OSX-fu)
In `nixStable` (2.3.7 to be precise) it's possible to connect to stores
using an IPv6 address:
nix ping-store --store ssh://root@2001:db8::1
This is also useful for `nixops(1)` where you could specify an IPv6
address in `deployment.targetHost`.
However, this behavior is broken on `nixUnstable` and fails with the
following error:
$ nix store ping --store ssh://root@2001:db8::1
don't know how to open Nix store 'ssh://root@2001:db8::1'
This happened because `openStore` from `libstore` uses the `parseURL`
function from `libfetchers` which expects a valid URL as defined in
RFC2732. However, this is unsupported by `ssh(1)`:
$ nix store ping --store 'ssh://root@[2001:db8::1]'
cannot connect to 'root@[2001:db8::1]'
This patch now allows both ways of specifying a store (`root@2001:db8::1`) and
also `root@[2001:db8::1]` since the latter one is useful to pass query
parameters to the remote store.
In order to achieve this, the following changes were made:
* The URL regex from `url-parts.hh` now allows an IPv6 address in the
form `2001:db8::1` and also `[2001:db8::1]`.
* In `libstore`, a new function named `extractConnStr` ensures that a
proper URL is passed to e.g. `ssh(1)`:
* If a URL looks like either `[2001:db8::1]` or `root@[2001:db8::1]`,
the brackets will be removed using a regex. No additional validation
is done here as only strings parsed by `parseURL` are expected.
* In any other case, the string will be left untouched.
* The rules above only apply for `LegacySSHStore` and `SSHStore` (a.k.a
`ssh://` and `ssh-ng://`).
Unresolved questions:
* I'm not really sure whether we want to allow both variants of IPv6
addresses in the URL parser. However it should be noted that both seem
to be possible according to RFC2732:
> This document incudes an update to the generic syntax for Uniform
> Resource Identifiers defined in RFC 2396 [URL]. It defines a syntax
> for IPv6 addresses and allows the use of "[" and "]" within a URI
> explicitly for this reserved purpose.
* Currently, it's not supported to specify a port number behind the
hostname, however it seems as this is not really supported by the URL
parser. Hence, this is probably out of scope here.
The `DerivationGoal` has a variable storing the “final” derivation
output paths that is used (amongst other things) to fill the environment
for the post build hook. However this variable wasn't set when the
build-hook is used, causing a crash when both hooks are used together.
Fix this by setting this variable (from the informations in the db) after a run
of the post build hook.
This reverts commit 1b1e076033.
Using `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap` assumes that the derivation
exists locally which isn't the case for remote builders.
Since 0744f7f, it is now useful to have cache.nixos.org in substituers
even if /nix/store is not the Nix Store Dir. This can always be
overridden via configuration, though.
