Before this commit, the dns lookup in preloadNSS would still go through
nscd. This did not have the effect of loading the nss_dns.so as expected
(nss_dns.so being out of reach from within the sandbox).
Should LOCALDOMAIN environment variable be defined, nss will completely
avoid nscd and will do its dns resolution on its own.
By temporarly setting LOCALDOMAIN variable before calling in NSS, we can
force NSS to load the shared libraries as expected.

In dry run mode, new derivations can't be create, so running the command on anything that has not been evaluated before results in an error message of the form `don't know how to build these paths (may be caused by read-only store access)`.
For comparison, the classical `nix-build --dry-run` doesn't use read-only mode.
Closes#1795
(cherry picked from commit 54525682df707742e58311c32e9c9cb18de1e31f)
If the store path contains a flake, this means that a command like
"nix path-info /path" will show info about /path, not about the
default output of the flake in /path. If you want the latter, you can
explicitly ask for it by doing "nix path-info path:/path".
Fixes#4568.
Store paths are only allowed to contain a limited subset of the
alphabet, which doesn’t include `!`. So don’t create lockfiles that
contain this `!` character as that would otherwise confuse (and break)
the gc.
Fix#5176
When doing e.g.
nix-build -A package --keep-failed --option \
builders \
'ssh://mfhydra?remote-store=/home/bosch/store x86_64-linux - 10 4 big-parallel'
this doesn't work properly because this build-setting is ignored.
I changed this behavior by passing the `settings.keepFailed` through the
serve-protocol to remote machines to make sure that I can introspect the
build-directory (which is particularly helpful when I have to look at a
`config.log` from a failed build for instance).
This fixes a use-after-free bug:
1. s = new EvalState();
2. callFlake()
3. static vCallFlake now references s
4. delete s;
5. s2 = new EvalState();
6. callFlake()
7. static vCallFlake still references s
8. crash
Nix 2.3 did not have a problem with recreating EvalState.
This fixes a class of crashes and introduces ptr<T> to make the
code robust against this failure mode going forward.
Thanks regnat for the idea of a ref<T> without overhead!

“packages” was probably meant to be “packages.${system}.” but that
is already listed in `getDefaultFlakeAttrPathPrefixes` in `installables`,
which is probably why no one noticed it was broken.
It currently fails with the following error:
error: flake 'git+file://…' does not provide attribute 'devShells.x86_64-linuxhaskell', 'packages.x86_64-linux.haskell', 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.haskell' or 'haskell'
For git+file and path flakes, chdir to flake directory so that phases
that expect to be in the flake directory can run
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3976
Use `$(libdir)` while installing .pc files looks like a more generic
solution. For example, it will work for distributions like RHEL or
Fedora where .pc files are installed in `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig`.
This replaces the O(n) search complexity in our insert code with a
lookup of O(log n). It also makes removing waitees easier as we can use
the extract method provided by the set class.
Previously the code ensures that the isBase32 array would only be
initialised once in a single-threaded context. If two threads happen to
call the function before the initialisation was completed both of them
would have completed the initialization step. This allowed for a
race-condition where one thread might be done with the initialization
but the other thread sets all the fields to false again. For a brief
moment the base32 detection would then produce false-negatives.
`nix-shell --pure` when applied to a non stdenv derivation doesn't seem
to clear the PATH. It expects the stdenv/setup file to do so.
This adds an explicit `unset PATH` by nix-build.cc (nix-shell) itself so
that it's not reliant on stdenv/setup anymore.
This does not break impure nix-shell since the PATH is persisted as the
variable `p` prior in the bash rcfile
fixes#5092
Previously, despite having a boolean that tracked initialization, the
decode characters have been "calculated" every single time a base64
string was being decoded.
With this change we only initialize the decode array once in a
thread-safe manner.
The experimental features are, well, experimental, and shouldn’t be
carelessly and transparently enabled.
Besides, some (`ca-derivations` at least) need to be enabled at startup
in order to work properly.
So it’s better to just require that daemon be started with the right
`experimental-features` option.
Fix#5017
This extends https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4978 with
supporting the SCP-like urls in expressions like
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "git@github.com:NixOS/nix.git";
ref = "master";
}
```
This adds a new store operation 'addMultipleToStore' that reads a
number of NARs and ValidPathInfos from a Source, allowing any number
of store paths to be copied in a single call. This is much faster on
high-latency links when copying a lot of small files, like .drv
closures.
For example, on a connection with an 50 ms delay:
Before:
$ nix copy --to 'unix:///tmp/proxy-socket?root=/tmp/dest-chroot' \
/nix/store/90jjw94xiyg5drj70whm9yll6xjj0ca9-hello-2.10.drv \
--derivation --no-check-sigs
real 0m57.868s
user 0m0.103s
sys 0m0.056s
After:
real 0m0.690s
user 0m0.017s
sys 0m0.011s
Otherwise I get a compiler error when building for NetBSD:

With this, we don't have to copy the entire .drv closure to the
destination store ahead of time (or at all). Instead, buildPaths()
reads .drv files from the eval store and copies inputSrcs to the
destination store if it needs to build a derivation.
Issue #5025.
In particular, this now works:
$ nix path-info --eval-store auto --store https://cache.nixos.org nixpkgs#hello
Previously this would fail as it would try to upload the hello .drv to
cache.nixos.org. Now the .drv is instantiated in the local store, and
then we check for the existence of the outputs in cache.nixos.org.
It supports functions as well. Also change `package` to
`derivation` because it operates at the language level and does
not open the derivation (which would be useful but not nearly
as much).
It does not operate on a derivation and does not return a
derivation path. Instead it works at the language level,
where a distinct term "package" is more appropriate to
distinguish the parent object of `meta.position`; an
attribute which doesn't even make it into the derivation.
Some people want to avoid using registries at all on their system; Instead
of having to add --no-registries to every command, this commit allows to
set use-registries = false in the config. --no-registries is still allowed
everywhere it was allowed previously, but is now deprecated.

- This can legitimately happen (for example because of a non-determinism
causing a build-time dependency to be kept or not as a runtime
reference)
- Because of older Nix versions, it can happen that we encounter a
realisation with an (erroneously) empty set of dependencies, in which
case we don’t want to fail, but just warn the user and try to fix it.
Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before
calling the nix subprocesses in the repl
That way the whole configuration (including the possible
`experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will
be made available.
This is required for example to make `nix repl` work with a custom

'--delete-older-than 10' deletes the generations older than a single day, and '--delete-older-than 12m' deletes all generations older than 12 days.
This changes makes it throw on those invalid inputs, and gives an example of a valid input.
We need to support it for the “old” fetch* functions for backwards
compatibility, but we don’t need it for fetchTree (as it’s a new
function).
Given that changing the `name` messes-up the content hashing, we can
just forbid passing a custom `name` argument to it
Before this commit, nixConfig.flake-registry didn't have any real effect
on the evaluation, since config was applied after inputs were evaluated.
Change this behavior: apply the config in the beginning of flake::lockFile.
Pass the current experimental features using `NIX_CONFIG` to the various
Nix subprocesses that `nix repl` invokes.
This is quite a hack, but having `nix repl` call Nix with a subprocess
is a hack already, so I guess that’s fine.
`nix develop` is getting bash from an (assumed existing) `nixpkgs`
flake. However, when doing so, it reuses the `lockFlags` passed to the
current flake, including the `--input-overrides` and `--input-update`
which generally don’t make sense anymore at that point (and trigger a
warning because of that)
Clear these overrides before getting the nixpkgs flake to get rid of the
warning.
Add an access-control list to the realisations in recursive-nix (similar
to the already existing one for store paths), so that we can build
content-addressed derivations in the restricted store.
Fix#4353
Previously, the build system used uname(1) output when it wanted to
check the operating system it was being built for, which meant that it
didn't take into-account cross-compilation when the build and host
operating systems were different.
To fix this, instead of consulting uname output, we consult the host
triple, specifically the third "kernel" part.
For "kernel"s with stable ABIs, like Linux or Cygwin, we can use a
simple ifeq to test whether we're compiling for that system, but for
other platforms, like Darwin, FreeBSD, or Solaris, we have to use a
more complicated check to take into account the version numbers at the
end of the "kernel"s. I couldn't find a way to just strip these
version numbers in GNU Make without shelling out, which would be even
more ugly IMO. Because these checks differ between kernels, and the
patsubst ones are quite fiddly, I've added variables for each host OS
we might want to check to make them easier to reuse.
This way no derivation has to expect that these files are in the `cwd`
during the build. This is problematic for `nix-shell` where these files
would have to be inserted into the nix-shell's `cwd` which can become
problematic with e.g. recursive `nix-shell`.
To remain backwards-compatible, the location inside the build sandbox
will be kept, however using these files directly should be deprecated
from now on.
This is needed to push the adoption of structured attrs[1] forward. It's
now checked if a `__json` exists in the environment-map of the derivation
to be openend in a `nix-shell`.
Derivations with structured attributes enabled also make use of a file
named `.attrs.json` containing every environment variable represented as
JSON which is useful for e.g. `exportReferencesGraph`[2]. To
provide an environment similar to the build sandbox, `nix-shell` now
adds a `.attrs.json` to `cwd` (which is mostly equal to the one in the
build sandbox) and removes it using an exit hook when closing the shell.
To avoid leaking internals of the build-process to the `nix-shell`, the
entire logic to generate JSON and shell code for structured attrs was
moved into the `ParsedDerivation` class.

Make sure that the derivation we send to the remote builder is exactly
the one that we want to build locally so that the output ids are exactly
the same
Fix#4845
Useful when we're using a daemon with a chroot store, e.g.
$ NIX_DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH=/tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket nix-daemon --store /tmp/chroot
Then the client can now connect with
$ nix build --store unix:///tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket?root=/tmp/chroot nixpkgs#hello
That doesn’t really make sense with CA derivations (and wasn’t even
really correct before because of FO derivations, though that probably
didn’t matter much in practice)
Resolve the derivation before trying to load its environment −
essentially reproducing what the build loop does − so that we can
effectively access our dependencies (and not just their placeholders).
Fix#4821
Make ca-derivations require a `ca-derivations` machine feature, and
ca-aware builders expose it.
That way, a network of builders can mix ca-aware and non-ca-aware
machines, and the scheduler will send them in the right place.
When the `keep-going` option is set to `true`, make `nix flake check`
continue as much as it can before failing.
The UI isn’t perfect as-it-is as all the lines currently start with a
mostly useless `error (ignored): error:` prefix, but I’m not sure what
the best output would be, so I’ll leave it as-it-is for the time being
(This is a bit hijacking the `keep-going` flag as it’s supposed to be a
build-time only thing. But I think it’s faire to reuse it here).
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4450
When adding a path to the local store (via `LocalStore::addToStore`),
ensure that the `ca` field of the provided `ValidPathInfo` does indeed
correspond to the content of the path.
Otherwise any untrusted user (or any binary cache) can add arbitrary
content-addressed paths to the store (as content-addressed paths don’t
need a signature).
Linux is (as far as I know) the only mainstream operating system that
requires linking with libdl for dlopen. On BSD, libdl doesn't exist,
so on non-FreeBSD BSDs linking will currently fail. On macOS, it's
apparently just a symlink to libSystem (macOS libc), presumably
present for compatibility with things that assume Linux.
So the right thing to do here is to only add -ldl on Linux, not to add
it for everything that isn't FreeBSD.
Only considers the closure in term of `Realisation`, ignores all the
opaque inputs.
Dunno whether that’s the nicest solution, need to think it through a bit
Align all the worker protocol with `buildDerivation` which inlines the
realisations as one opaque json blob.
That way we don’t have to bother changing the remote store protocol
when the definition of `Realisation` changes, as long as we keep the
json backwards-compatible
Align all the worker protocol with `buildDerivation` which inlines the
realisations as one opaque json blob.
That way we don’t have to bother changing the remote store protocol
when the definition of `Realisation` changes, as long as we keep the
json backwards-compatible
Move the `closure` logic of `computeFSClosure` to its own (templated) function.
This doesn’t bring much by itself (except for the ability to properly
test the “closure” functionality independently from the rest), but it
allows reusing it (in particular for the realisations which will require
a very similar closure computation)
When you have a symlink like:
/tmp -> ./private/tmp
you need to resolve ./private/tmp relative to /tmp’s dir: ‘/’. Unlike
any other path output by dirOf, / ends with a slash. We don’t want
trailing slashes here since we will append another slash in the next
comoponent, so clear s like we would if it was a symlink to an absoute
path.
This should fix at least part of the issue in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4822, will need confirmation that
it actually fixes the problem to close though.
Introduced in f3f228700a.
Accidentally removed in ca96f52194. This
caused `nix run` to systematically fail with
```

~/.bashrc should be sourced first in the rc script so that PATH &
other env vars give precedence over the bashrc PATH.
Also, in my bashrc I alias rm as:
alias rm='rm -Iv'
To avoid running this alias (which shows ‘removed '/tmp/nix-shell.*'),
we can just prefix rm with command.
For whatever reason, many programs trying to access SystemVersion.plist
also open SystemVersionCompat.plist; this includes Python code and
coreutils’ `cat(1)` (but not the native macOS `/bin/cat`). Illustratory
`dtruss(1m)` output:
open("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 3 0
open("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersionCompat.plist\0", 0x0, 0x0) = 4 0
I assume this is a Big Sur change relating to the 10.16.x/11.x
version compatibility divide and that it’s something along the lines of
a hook inside libSystem.
Fixes a lot of sandboxed package builds under Big Sur.
When we don’t have enough free job slots to run a goal, we put it in
the waitForBuildSlot list & unlock its output locks. This will
continue from where we left off (tryLocalBuild). However, we need the
locks to get reacquired when/if the goal ever restarts. So, we need to
send it back through tryToBuild to get reqacquire those locks.
I think this bug was introduced in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4570. It leads to some builds
starting without proper locks.
Similar to the nar-info disk cache (and using the same db).
This makes rebuilds muuch faster.
- This works regardless of the ca-derivations experimental feature.
I could modify the logic to not touch the db if the flag isn’t there,
but given that this is a trash-able local cache, it doesn’t seem to be
really worth it.
- We could unify the `NARs` and `Realisation` tables to only have one
generic kv table. This is left as an exercise to the reader.
- I didn’t update the cache db version number as the new schema just
adds a new table to the previous one, so the db will be transparently
migrated and is backwards-compatible.

This was previously done in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4515 but
got clobbered away in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/4594.

This fixes an issue where derivations with a primary output that is
not "out" would fail with:
$ nix profile install nixpkgs#sqlite
error: opening directory '/nix/store/2a2ydlgyydly5czcc8lg12n6qqkfz863-sqlite-3.34.1-bin': No such file or directory
This happens because while derivations produce every output when
built, you might not have them if you didn't build the derivation
yourself (for instance, the store path was fetch from a binary cache).
This uses outputName provided from DerivationInfo which appears to
match the first output of the derivation.
I guess I misunderstood John's initial explanation about why wildcards
for outputs are sent to older stores[1]. My `nix-daemon` from 2021-03-26
also has version 1.29, but misses the wildcard[2]. So bumping seems to
be the right call.

Starting in macOS 11, the on-disk dylib bundles are no longer available,
but nixpkgs needs to be able to keep compatibility with older versions
that require `/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib` in `__impureHostDeps`. Allow
it to keep backwards compatibility with these versions by marking these
dependencies as optional.
Fixes#4658.
As described in #4745 it's otherwise fairly hard to understand where
this is coming from. Say you have an expression which uses e.g.
`types.package`:
``` nix
{ outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.x86_64-linux.hello = let
foo = nixpkgs.lib.evalModules {
modules = [
{
options.foo.bar = with nixpkgs.lib; mkOption { type = types.package; };
}
{
foo.bar = ./.;
}
];
};
in builtins.trace foo.config.foo.bar.outPath nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hello;
defaultPackage.x86_64-linux = self.packages.x86_64-linux.hello;
};
}
```
Then you'll get an error trace like this:
```

They are equivalent according to
<https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#hard-line-breaks>,
and the trailing spaces tend to be a pain (because the make git
complain, editors tend to want to remove them − the `.editorconfig`
actually specifies that − etc..).
This function doesn't support all compression methods (i.e. 'none' and
'br') so it shouldn't be exposed.
Also restore the original decompress() as a wrapper around
makeDecompressionSink().
The S3 store relies on the ability to be able to decompress things with
an empty method, because it just passes the value of the Content-Encoding
directly to decompress.
If the file is not compressed, then this will cause the compression
routine to get confused.
This caused NixOS/nixpkgs#120120.
This makes Nix look up paths derivations when they are passed as a
store paths. So:
$ nix path-info --derivation /nix/store/0pisd259nldh8yfjvw663mspm60cn5v8-hello-2.10
now gives
/nix/store/qp724w90516n4bk5r9gfb37vzmqdh3z7-hello-2.10.drv
instead of "".
If no deriver is available, Nix now errors instead of silently
ignoring that argument.
In case of pure input-addressed derivations, the build loop doesn't
guaranty that the realisations are stored in the db (if the output paths
are already there or can be substituted, the realisations won't be
registered). This caused `nix shell` to fail in some cases because it
was assuming that the realisations were always existing.
A better (but more involved) fix would probably to ensure that we always
register the realisations, but in the meantime this patches the surface
issue.
Fix#4721
I think that it's not very helpful to get "cached failures" in a wrong
`flake.nix`. This can be very confusing when debugging a Nix expression.
See for instance NixOS/nixpkgs#118115.
In fact, the eval cache allows a forced reevaluation which is used for
e.g. `nix eval`.
This change makes sure that this is the case for `nix build` as well. So

When working on some more complex Nix code, there are sometimes rather
unhelpful or misleading error messages, especially if coerce-errors are
thrown.
This patch is a first steps towards improving that. I'm happy to file
more changes after that, but I'd like to gather some feedback first.
To summarize, this patch does the following things:
* Attrsets (a.k.a. `Bindings` in `libexpr`) now have a `Pos`. This is
helpful e.g. to identify which attribute-set in `listToAttrs` is
invalid.
* The `Value`-struct has a new method named `determinePos` which tries
to guess the position of a value and falls back to a default if that's
not possible.
This can be used to provide better messages if a coercion fails.
* The new `determinePos`-API is used by `builtins.concatMap` now. With
that change, Nix shows the exact position in the error where a wrong
value was returned by the lambda.
To make sure it's still obvious that `concatMap` is the problem,
another stack-frame was added.
* The changes described above can be added to every other `primop`, but
first I'd like to get some feedback about the overall approach.
* The position of the `name`-attribute appears in the trace.
* If e.g. `meta` has no `outPath`-attribute, a `cannot coerce set to
string` error will be thrown where `pos` points to `name =` which is
highly misleading.
If there were many top-level goals (which are not destroyed until the
very end), commands like
$ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' \
/run/current-system --no-check-sigs --substitute-on-destination
could fail with "Too many open files". So now we do some explicit
cleanup from amDone(). It would be cleaner to separate goals from
their temporary internal state, but that would be a bigger refactor.
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
These are by no means part of the notion of a store, but rather are
things that happen to use stores. (Or put another way, there's no way
we'd make them virtual methods any time soon.) It's better to move them
out of that too-big class then.
Also, this helps us remove StorePathWithOutputs from the Store interface
altogether next commit.
This fixes builtins.fetchGit { url = ...; ref = "HEAD"; }, that works in
stable nix (v2.3.10), but is broken in nix master:

I came across this issue because poetry2nix can use ref = "HEAD" in some
situations.

A few versioning mistakes were corrected:
- In 27b5747ca7, Daemon protocol had some
version `>= 0xc` that should have been `>= 0x1c`, or `28` since the
other conditions used decimal.
- In a2b69660a9, legacy SSH gated new CAS
info on version 6, but version 5 in the server. It is now 6
everywhere.
Additionally, legacy ssh was sending over more metadata than the daemon
one was. The daemon now sends that data too.

According to RFC4007[1], IPv6 addresses can have a so-called zone_id
separated from the actual address with `%` as delimiter. In contrast to
Nix 2.3, the version on `master` doesn't recognize it as such:
$ nix ping-store --store ssh://root@fe80::1%18 --experimental-features nix-command
warning: 'ping-store' is a deprecated alias for 'store ping'
error: --- Error ----------------------------------------------------------------- nix
don't know how to open Nix store 'ssh://root@fe80::1%18'
I modified the IPv6 match-regex accordingly to optionally detect this
part of the address. As we don't seem to do anything special with it, I
decided to leave it as part of the URL for now.
Fixes#4490
[1] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4007
I guess the rationale behind the old name wath that
`pathInfoIsTrusted(info)` returns `true` iff we would need to `blindly`
trust the path (because it has no valid signature and `requireSigs` is
set), but I find it to be a really confusing footgun because it's quite
natural to give it the opposite meaning.
When starting a nix-shell with `-i` it was previously possible for it to
silently fail in the scenario where the specified interpreter didn't
exist. This happened due to the `exec` call masking the issue.
With this change we enable `execfail`, which causes the script using
`nix-shell` as interpreter to correctly exit with code 127.
Fixes: #4598
Basically, if a tarball URL is used as a flake input, and the URL leads
to a redirect, the final redirect destination would be recorded as the
locked URL.
This allows tarballs under https://nixos.org/channels to be used as
flake inputs. If we, as before, lock on to the original URL it would
break every time the channel updates.
Local git repositories are normally used directly instead of
cloning. This commit checks if a repo is bare and forces a
clone.

What happened was that Nix was trying to unconditionally mount these
paths in fixed-output derivations, but since the outer derivation was
pure, those paths did not exist. The solution is to only mount those
paths when they exist.
This separates the scheduling logic (including simple hook pathway) from
the local-store needing code.
This should be the final split for now. I'm reasonably happy with how
it's turning out, even before I'm done moving code into
`local-derivation-goal`. Benefits:
1. This will help "witness" that the hook case is indeed a lot simpler,
and also compensate for the increased complexity that comes from
content-addressed derivation outputs.
2. It also moves us ever so slightly towards a world where we could use
off-the-shelf storage or sandboxing, since `local-derivation-goal`
would be gutted in those cases, but `derivation-goal` should remain
nearly the same.
The new `#if 0` in the new files will be deleted in the following
commit. I keep it here so if it turns out more stuff can be moved over,
it's easy to do so in a way that preserves ordering --- and thus
prevents conflicts.
N.B.
```sh
git diff HEAD^^ --color-moved --find-copies-harder --patience --stat
```
makes nicer output.
This is probably what most people expect it to do. Fixes#3781.
There is a new command 'nix flake lock' that has the old behaviour of
'nix flake update', i.e. it just adds missing lock file entries unless
overriden using --update-input.
This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing
a remote builder list from service discovery. This allows the service
discovery tool to only sync one file instead of two.
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.
This field used to be a `BasicDerivation`, but this `BasicDerivation`
was downcasted to a `Derivation` when needed (implicitely or not), so we
might as well make it a full `Derivation` and upcast it when needed.
This also allows getting rid of a weird duplication in the way we
compute the static output hashes for the derivation. We had to
do it differently and in a different place depending on whether the
derivation was a full derivation or just a basic drv, but we can now do
it unconditionally on the full derivation.
Fix#4559
- Pass it the name of the outputs rather than their output paths (as
these don't exist for ca derivations)
- Get the built output paths from the remote builder
- Register the new received realisations
The PR #4240 changed messag of the error that was thrown when an auto-called
function was missing an argument.
However this change also changed the type of the error, from `EvalError`
to a new `MissingArgumentError`. This broke hydra which was relying on
an `EvalError` being thrown.
Make `MissingArgumentError` a subclass of `EvalError` to un-break hydra.
When performing distributed builds of machine learning packages, it
would be nice if builders without the required SIMD instructions can
be excluded as build nodes.
Since x86_64 has accumulated a large number of different instruction
set extensions, listing all possible extensions would be unwieldy.
AMD, Intel, Red Hat, and SUSE have recently defined four different
microarchitecture levels that are now part of the x86-64 psABI
supplement and will be used in glibc 2.33:
https://gitlab.com/x86-psABIs/x86-64-ABIhttps://lwn.net/Articles/844831/
This change uses libcpuid to detect CPU features and then uses them to
add the supported x86_64 levels to the additional system types. For
example on a Ryzen 3700X:
$ ~/aps/bin/nix -vv --version | grep "Additional system"
Additional system types: i686-linux, x86_64-v1-linux, x86_64-v2-linux, x86_64-v3-linux
That way we
1. Don't have to recompute them several times
2. Can compute them in a place where we know the type of the parent
derivation, meaning that we don't need the casting dance we had before
Once a build is done, get back to the original derivation, and register
all the newly built outputs for this derivation.
This allows Nix to work properly with derivations that don't have all
their build inputs available − thus allowing garbage collection and
(once it's implemented) binary substitution
Change the `nix-build` logic for linking/printing the output paths to allow for
some outputs to be missing. This might happen when the toplevel
derivation didn't have to be built, either because all the required
outputs were already there, or because they have all been substituted.
I tested a trivial program that called kill(-1, SIGKILL), which was
run as the only process for an unpriveleged user, on Linux and
FreeBSD. On Linux, kill reported success, while on FreeBSD it failed
with EPERM.
POSIX says:
> If pid is -1, sig shall be sent to all processes (excluding an
> unspecified set of system processes) for which the process has
> permission to send that signal.
and
> The kill() function is successful if the process has permission to
> send sig to any of the processes specified by pid. If kill() fails,
> no signal shall be sent.
and
> [EPERM]
> The process does not have permission to send the signal to any
> receiving process.
My reading of this is that kill(-1, ...) may fail with EPERM when
there are no other processes to kill (since the current process is
ignored). Since kill(-1, ...) only attempts to kill processes the
user has permission to kill, it can't mean that we tried to do
something we didn't have permission to kill, so it should be fine to
interpret EPERM the same as success here for any POSIX-compliant
system.
This fixes an issue that Mic92 encountered[1] when he tried to review a
Nixpkgs PR on FreeBSD.

We upgrade to lowdown 0.8.0 [1] which contains a fix/improvement to a
behavior mentioned in this issue thread [2] where a big part of
lowdown's API would just call exit(1) on allocation errors since that
is a satisfying behavior for the lowdown binary.
Now lowdown_term_rndr returns 0 if an allocation error occurred which we
check for in libcmd/markdown.cc.
Also the extern "C" { } wrapper around lowdown.h has been removed as it
is not necessary.

In addition to being some ugly template trickery, it was also totally
useless as it was used in only one place where I could replace it by
just a few extra characters
This makes nix search always go through the first level of an
attribute set, even if it's not a top level attribute. For instance,
you can now list all GHC compilers with:
$ nix search nixpkgs#haskell.compiler
...
This is similar to how nix-env works when you pass in -A.
This fixes an issue where derivations with a primary output that is
not "out" would fail with:
$ nix profile install nixpkgs#sqlite
error: opening directory '/nix/store/2a2ydlgyydly5czcc8lg12n6qqkfz863-sqlite-3.34.1-bin': No such file or directory
This happens because while derivations produce every output when
built, you might not have them if you didn't build the derivation
yourself (for instance, the store path was fetch from a binary cache).
This uses outputName provided from DerivationInfo which appears to
match the first output of the derivation.
Where a `RealisedPath` is a store path with its history, meaning either
an opaque path for stuff that has been directly added to the store, or a
`Realisation` for stuff that has been built by a derivation
This is a low-level refactoring that doesn't bring anything by itself
(except a few dozen extra lines of code :/ ), but raising the
abstraction level a bit is important on a number of levels:
- Commands like `nix build` have to query for the realisations after the
build is finished which is fragile (see
27905f12e4a7207450abe37c9ed78e31603b67e1 for example). Having them
oprate directly at the realisation level would avoid that
- Others like `nix copy` currently operate directly on (built) store
paths, but need a bit more information as they will need to register
the realisations on the remote side
Example:
error: builder for '/nix/store/9ysqfidhipyzfiy54mh77iqn29j6cpsb-failing.drv' failed with exit code 1;
last 1 log lines:
> FAIL
For full logs, run 'nix log /nix/store/9ysqfidhipyzfiy54mh77iqn29j6cpsb-failing.drv'.

Fix a mismatch in the errors thrown when a needed output was missing
from an input derivation that was leading to a wrong and quite misleading error
message
Don't only show the name of the output, but also the derivation to which
this output belongs (as otherwise it's very hard to track back what went
wrong)
It's now
at /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix:7:7:
instead of
at: (7:7) in file: /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/misc/hello/default.nix
The new format is more standard and clickable.
Changes:
* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.
* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
the prefix (e.g. "error: ").
* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.
* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.
* The error is now printed *before* the location info.
* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
googleable error ID (like rustc).
* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
something like "while doing X".

This change is to simplify [Trustix](https://github.com/tweag/trustix) indexing and makes it possible to reconstruct this URL regardless of the compression used.
In particular this means that 7c2e9ca597/contrib/nix/nar/nar.go (L61-L71) can be removed and only the bits that are required to establish trust needs to be published in the Trustix build logs.
With the `ca-derivation` experimental features, non-ca derivations used
to have their output paths returned as unknown as long as they weren't
built (because of a mistake in the code that systematically erased the
previous value)
Thanks @regnat and @edolstra for catching this and comming up with the
solution.
They way I had generalized those is wrong, because local settings for
non-local stores is confusing default. And due to the nature of C++
inheritance, fixing the defaults is more annoying than it should be.
Additionally, I thought we might just drop the check in the substitution
logic since `Store::addToStore` is now streaming, but @regnat rightfully
pointed out that as it downloads dependencies first, that would still be
too late, and also waste effort on possibly unneeded/unwanted
dependencies.
The simple and correct thing to do is just make a store method for the
boolean logic, keeping all the setting and key stuff the way it was
before. That new method is both used by `LocalStore::addToStore` and the
substitution goal check. Perhaps we might eventually make it fancier,
e.g. sending the ValidPathInfo to remote stores for them to validate,
but this is good enough for now.
By default, once you enter x86_64 Rosetta 2, macOS will try to run
everything in x86_64. So an x86_64 Nix will still try to use x86_64
even when system = aarch64-darwin. To avoid this we can set
kern.curproc_arch_affinity sysctl. With kern.curproc_arch_affinity=0,
we ignore this preference.
This is based on how
https://opensource.apple.com/source/system_cmds/system_cmds-880.40.5/arch.tproj/arch.c.auto.html
works. Completely undocumented, but seems to work!
Note, you can verify this works with this impure Nix expression:
```
{
a = derivation {
name = "a";
system = "aarch64-darwin";
builder = "/bin/sh";
args = [ "-e" (builtins.toFile "builder" ''
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch x86_64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
/usr/bin/touch $out
'') ];
};
b = derivation {
name = "b";
system = "x86_64-darwin";
builder = "/bin/sh";
args = [ "-e" (builtins.toFile "builder" ''
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch x86_64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
/usr/bin/touch $out
'') ];
};
}
```
This resolves#3810 by changing the behavior of `max-jobs = 0`, so
that specifying the option also avoids local building of derivations
with the attribute `preferLocalBuild = true`.
It appears as through the fetch attribute, which
is simply a variant with 3 elements, implicitly
converts boolean arguments to integers. One must
use Explicit<bool> to correctly populate it with
a boolean. This was missing from the implementation,
and resulted in clearly boolean JSON fields being
treated as numbers.
libc++10 seems to be stricter on what it allows in variant conversion.
I'm not sure what the rules are here, but this is the minimal change
needed to get through the compilation errors.
Sometimes it's necessary to fetch a git repository at a revision and
it's unknown which ref contains the revision in question. An example
would be a Cargo.lock which only provides the URL and the revision when
using a git repository as build input.
However it's considered a bad practice to perform a full checkout of a
repository since this may take a lot of time and can eat up a lot of
disk space. This patch makes a full checkout explicit by adding an
`allRefs` argument to `builtins.fetchGit` which fetches all refs if
explicitly set to true.
Closes#2409
A common pitfall when using e.g. `builtins.fetchGit` is the `fatal: not
a tree object`-error when trying to fetch a revision of a git-repository
that isn't on the `master` branch and no `ref` is specified.
In order to make clear what's the problem, I added a simple check
whether the revision in question exists and if it doesn't a more
meaningful error-message is displayed:
```
nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/owner/myrepo"; rev = "<commit not on master>"; }
moderror: --- Error -------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
Cannot find Git revision 'bf1cc5c648e6aed7360448a3745bb2fe4fbbf0e9' in ref 'master' of repository 'https://gitlab.com/Ma27/nvim.nix'! Please make sure that the rev exists on the ref you've specified or add allRefs = true; to fetchGit.
```
Closes#2431
We embrace virtual the rest of the way, and get rid of the
`assert(false)` 0-param constructors.
We also list config base classes first, so the constructor order is
always:
1. all the configs
2. all the stores
Each in the same order
Move clearValue inside Value
mkInt instead of setInt
mkBool instead of setBool
mkString instead of setString
mkPath instead of setPath
mkNull instead of setNull
mkAttrs instead of setAttrs
mkList instead of setList*
mkThunk instead of setThunk
mkApp instead of setApp
mkLambda instead of setLambda
mkBlackhole instead of setBlackhole
mkPrimOp instead of setPrimOp
mkPrimOpApp instead of setPrimOpApp
mkExternal instead of setExternal
mkFloat instead of setFloat
Add note that the static mk* function should be removed eventually
PRs #4370 and #4348 had a bad interaction in that the second broke the fist
one in a not trivial way.
The issue was that since #4348 the logic for detecting whether a
derivation output is already built requires some logic that was specific
to the `LocalStore`.
It happens though that most of this logic could be upstreamed to any `Store`,
which is what this commit does.
This ignore was here because `queryPartialDrvOutputMap` was used both
1. as a cache to avoid having to re-read the derivation (when gc-ing for
example), and
2. as the source of truth for ca realisations
The use-case 2. required it to be able to work even when the derivation
wasn't there anymore (see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4138).
However, this use-case is now handled by `queryRealisation`, meaning
that we can safely error out if the derivation isn't there anymore
`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.
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.
When running universal binaries like /bin/bash, Darwin XNU will choose
which architecture of the binary to use based on "binary preferences".
This change sets that to the current platform for aarch64 and x86_64
builds. In addition it now uses posix_spawn instead of the usual
execve. Note, that this does not prevent the other architecture from
being run, just advises which to use.
Unfortunately, posix_spawnattr_setbinpref_np does not appear to be
inherited by child processes in x86_64 Rosetta 2 translations, meaning
that this will not always work as expected.
For example:
{
arm = derivation {
name = "test";
system = "aarch64-darwin";
builder = "/bin/bash";
args = [ "-e" (builtins.toFile "test" ''
set -x
/usr/sbin/sysctl sysctl.proc_translated
/usr/sbin/sysctl sysctl.proc_native
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
/usr/bin/touch $out
'') ];
};
rosetta = derivation {
name = "test";
system = "x86_64-darwin";
builder = "/bin/bash";
args = [ "-e" (builtins.toFile "test" ''
set -x
/usr/sbin/sysctl sysctl.proc_translated
/usr/sbin/sysctl sysctl.proc_native
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
echo It works!
/usr/bin/touch $out
'') ];
};

`arm' fails on x86_64-compiled Nix, but `arm' and `rosetta' succeed on
aarch64-compiled Nix. I suspect there is a way to fix this since:
$ /usr/bin/arch -arch x86_64 /bin/bash \
-c '/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64e /bin/bash -c /usr/bin/arch'
arm64
seems to work correctly. We may need to wait for Apple to update
system_cmds in opensource.apple.com to find out how though.
macOS systems with ARM64 can utilize a translation layer at
/Library/Apple/usr/libexec/oah to run x86_64 binaries. This change
makes Nix recognize that and it to "extra-platforms". Note that there
are two cases here since Nix could be built for either x86_64 or
aarch64. In either case, we can switch to the other architecture.
Unfortunately there is not a good way to prevent aarch64 binaries from
being run in x86_64 contexts or vice versa - programs can always
execute programs for the other architecture.
If the build closure contains some CA derivations, then we can't know
ahead-of-time that we won't build anything as early-cutoff might come-in
at a laster stage
using fallocate() to preallocate files space does more harm than good:
- breaks compression on btrfs
- has been called "not the right thing to do" by xfs developers
(because delayed allocation that most filesystems implement leads to smarter
allocation than what the filesystem needs to do if we upfront fallocate files)
Without setting HGPLAIN, the user's environment leaks into
hg invocations, which means that the output may not be in the
expected format.
HGPLAIN is the Mercurial-recommended solution for this in that
it's intended for uses by scripts and programs which are looking
to parse Mercurial's output in a consistent manner.
This fixes a bug I encountered where `nix-store -qR` will deadlock when
the `--include-outputs` flag is passed and `max-connections=1`.
The deadlock occurs because `RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs` takes
the only connection from the connection pool and uses it to check the
daemon version. If the version is new enough, it calls
`Store::queryDerivationOutputs`, which eventually calls
`RemoteStore::queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`, where we take another
connection from the connection pool to check the version again. Because
we still haven't released the connection from the caller, this waits for
a connection to be available, causing a deadlock.
This diff solves the issue by using `getProtocol` to check the protocol
version in the caller `RemoteStore::queryDerivationOutputs`, which
immediately frees the connection back to the pool before returning the
protocol version. That way we've already freed the connection by the
time we call `RemoteStore::queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`.

Until now, it was not possible to substitute missing paths from e.g.
`https://cache.nixos.org` on a remote server when building on it using
the new `ssh-ng` protocol.
This is because every store implementation except legacy `ssh://`
ignores the substitution flag passed to `Store::queryValidPaths` while
the `legacy-ssh-store` substitutes the remote store using
`cmdQueryValidPaths` when the remote store is opened with `nix-store
--serve`.
This patch slightly modifies the daemon protocol to allow passing an
integer value suggesting whether to substitute missing paths during
`wopQueryValidPaths`. To implement this on the daemon-side, the
substitution logic from `nix-store --serve` has been moved into a
protected method named `Store::substitutePaths` which gets currently
called from `LocalStore::queryValidPaths` and `Store::queryValidPaths`
if `maybeSubstitute` is `true`.
Fixes#2770
Crucially this introduces BoehmGCStackAllocator, but it also
adds a bunch of wiring to avoid making libutil depend on bdw-gc.

This removes the extra-substituters and extra-sandbox-paths settings
and instead makes every array setting extensible by setting
"extra-<name> = <value>" in the configuration file or passing
"--<name> <value>" on the command line.
This makes it even clearer which of the two hashes was specified in the
nix files. Some may think that "wanted" and "got" is obvious, but:
"got" could mean "got in nix file" and "wanted" could mean "want to see in nix file".
This makes it possible to have per-project configuration in flake.nix,
e.g. binary caches and other stuff:
nixConfig.bash-prompt-suffix = "[1;35mngi# [0m";
nixConfig.substituters = [ "https://cache.ngi0.nixos.org/" ];
This is primarily useful if you're hacking simultaneously on a package
and one of its dependencies. E.g. if you're hacking on Hydra and Nix,
you would start a dev shell for Nix, and then a dev shell for Hydra as
follows:
$ nix develop \
--redirect .#hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux.nix ~/Dev/nix/outputs/out \
--redirect .#hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux.nix.dev ~/Dev/nix/outputs/dev
(This assumes hydraJobs.build.x86_64-linux has a passthru.nix
attribute. You can also use a store path.)
This causes all references in the environment to those store paths to
be rewritten to ~/Dev/nix/outputs/{out,dev}. Note: unfortunately, you
may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/Dev/nix/outputs/out/lib because
Nixpkgs' ld-wrapper only adds -rpath entries for -L flags that point
to the Nix store.

Issue #4092.
When running `nix build -L` it can be fairly hard to read the output if
the build program intentionally renders whitespace on the left. A
typical example is `g++` displaying compilation errors.
With this patch, the whitespace on the left is retained to make the log
more readable:
```

foo> building
foo> foobar.cc: In function 'int main()':
foo> foobar.cc:5:5: error: 'wrong_func' was not declared in this scope
foo> 5 | wrong_func(1);

The registry targets generally follow a URL formatting schema with
support for a query parameter of "?dir=subpath" to specify a sub-path
location below the URL root.
Alternatively, an absolute path can be specified. This specification
mode accepts the query parameter but ignores/drops it. It would
probably be better to either (a) disallow the query parameter for the
path form, or (b) recognize the query parameter and add to the path.
This patch implements (b) for consistency, and to make it easier for
tooling that might switch between a remote git reference and a local
path reference.

This change provides support for using access tokens with other
instances of GitHub and GitLab beyond just github.com and
gitlab.com (especially company-specific or foundation-specific
instances).
This change also provides the ability to specify the type of access
token being used, where different types may have different handling,
based on the forge type.
std::optional had redundant checks for whether it had a value.
An object is emplaced either way so it can be dereferenced
without repeating a value check
After 0ed946aa61, max-jobs setting (-j/--max-jobs)
stopped working.
The reason was that nrLocalBuilds (which compared to maxBuildJobs to figure
out whether the limit is reached or not) is not incremented yet when tryBuild
is started; So, the solution is to move the check to tryLocalBuild.

We don't need it yet, but we could/should in the future, and it's a
cost-free change since we already have the reference. I like it.

Rather than showing an integer as the default, instead show the boolean
referenced in the description.
The nix.conf.5 manpage used to show "default: 0", which is unnecessarily
opaque and confusing (doesn't 0 mean false, even though the default is
true?); now it properly shows that the default is true.
pkgs.fetchurl supports an executable argument, which is especially nice
when downloading a large executable. This patch adds the same option to
nix-prefetch-url.
I have tested this to work on the simple case of prefetching a little
executable:
1. nix-prefetch-url --executable https://my/little/script
2. Paste the hash into a pkgs.fetchurl-based package, script-pkg.nix
3. Delete the output from the store to avoid any misidentified artifacts
4. Realise the package script-pkg.nix
5. Run the executable
I repeated the above while using --name, as well.
I suspect --executable would have no meaningful effect if combined with
--unpack, but I have not tried it.
Since 108debef6f we allow a
`url`-attribute for the `github`-fetcher to fetch tarballs from
self-hosted `gitlab`/`github` instances.
However it's not used when defining e.g. a flake-input
foobar = {
type = "github";
url = "gitlab.myserver";
/* ... */
}
and breaks with an evaluation-error:
error: --- Error --------------------------------------nix
unsupported input attribute 'url'
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
This patch allows flake-inputs to be fetched from self-hosted instances
as well.
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires
authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request
fails with a 404.
This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API.
It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the
user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header.
The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed
in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.
It is apparently required for using `toJSONObject()`, which we do inside
the header file (because it's in a template).
This was accidentally working when building Nix itself (presumably because
`config.hh` was always included after `nlohman/json.hpp`) but caused a
(pretty dirty) build failure in the perl bindings package.
Rework the `Store` hierarchy so that there's now one hierarchy for the
store configs and one for the implementations (where each implementation
extends the corresponding config). So a class hierarchy like
```
StoreConfig-------->Store
| |
v v
SubStoreConfig----->SubStore
| |
v v
SubSubStoreConfig-->SubSubStore
```
(with virtual inheritance to prevent DDD).
The advantage of this architecture is that we can now introspect the configuration of a store without having to instantiate the store itself
Add a new `init()` method to the `Store` class that is supposed to
handle all the effectful initialisation needed to set-up the store.
The constructor should remain side-effect free and just initialize the
c++ data structure.
The goal behind that is that we can create “dummy” instances of each
store to query static properties about it (the parameters it accepts for
example)
Directly register the store classes rather than a function to build an
instance of them.
This gives the possibility to introspect static members of the class or
choose different ways of instantiating them.
Add a fallback path in `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap` for daemons
that don't support it.
Also upstreams a couple methods from `SSHStore` to `RemoteStore` as this
is needed to handle the fallback path.
Otherwise the result of the printing can't be parsed back correctly by
Nix (because the unescaped `${` will be parsed as the begining of an
anti-quotation).
Fix#3989
When deploying a Hydra instance with current Nix master, most builds
would not run because of errors like this:
queue monitor: error: --- Error --- hydra-queue-runner
error: --- UsageError --- nix-daemon
not a content address because it is not in the form '<prefix>:<rest>': /nix/store/...-somedrv
The last error message is from parseContentAddress, which expects a
colon-separated string, however what we got here is a store path.
Looking at the worker protocol, the following message sent to the Nix
daemon caused the error above:
0x1E -> wopQuerySubstitutablePathInfos
0x01 -> Number of paths
0x16 -> Length of string
"/nix/store/...-somedrv"
0x00 -> Length of string
""
Looking at writeStorePathCAMap, the store path is indeed the first field
that's transmitted. However, readStorePathCAMap expects it to be the
*second* field *on my machine*, since expression evaluation order is a
classic form of unspecified behaviour[1] in C++.
This has been introduced in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3689,
specifically in commit 66a62b3189.

The change in 626200713b didn't account
for when the number of auto arguments is bigger than the number of
formal arguments. This causes the following:

If we resolve using the known path of a derivation whose output we
didn't have, we previously blew up. Now we just fail gracefully,
returning the map of all outputs unknown.
This means profiles outside of /nix/var/nix/profiles don't get
garbage-collected. It also means we don't need to scan
/nix/var/nix/profiles for GC roots anymore, except for compatibility
with previously existing generations.
This was broken in 50f13b06fb. Once
again it turns out that putting a bool in a std::variant is a bad
idea, since pointers get silently cast to them...
The command line options --arg and --argstr that are used by a bunch of
CLI commands to pass arguments to top-level functions in files go
through the same code-path as auto-calling top-level functions with
their default arguments - this, however, was only passing the arguments
that were *explicitly* mentioned in the formals of the function - in the
case of an as-pattern with an ellipsis (eg args @ { ... }) extra passed
arguments would get omitted. This fixes that to instead pass *all*
specified auto args in the case that our function has an ellipsis.
