It occurred when a output of the dependency was already available,
so it didn't need rebuilding and didn't get added to the
inputDrvOutputs.
This process-related info wasn't suitable for the purpose of finding
the actual input paths for the builder. It is better to do this in
absolute terms by querying the store.
This change is needed to support aws-sdk-cpp 1.10 and newer.
I opted not to make this dependent on the sdk version because
the crt dependency has been in the interface of the older
sdk as well, and it was only coincidence that libstore didn't
make use of any privately defined symbols directly.
When calling `builtins.readFile` on a store path, the references of that
path are currently added to the resulting string's context.
This change makes those references the *possible* context of the string,
but filters them to keep only the references whose hash actually appears
in the string, similarly to what is done for determining the runtime
references of a path.
Cgroups are now only used for derivations that require the uid-range
range feature. This allows auto UID allocation even on systems that
don't have cgroups (like macOS).
Also, make things work on modern systems that use cgroups v2 (where
there is a single hierarchy and no "systemd" controller).
after discussing this with multiple people, I'm convinced that "build
task" is more precise: a derivation is not an action, but inert until it
is built. also it's easier to pronounce.
proposal: use "build task" for the generic concept "description of how
to derive new files from the contents of existing files". then it will
be easier to distinguish what we mean by "derivation" (a specific data
structure and Nix language value type) and "store derivation" (a
serialisation of a derivation into a file in the Nix store).
readline is not re-entrant, so entering the debugger from the
completioncallback results in an eventual segfault.
The workaround is to temporarily disable the debugger when searching
for possible completions.
Call it as `['nix', '__build-remote', ... ]` rather than the previous
`["__build-remote", "nix __build-remote", ... ]` which seemed to have
been most likely unintended
The description of the --profile option talks about the "update" operation.
This is probably meant for operations such as "nix profile install", but the
same option is reused in other subcommands, which do not update the profile,
such as "nix profile {list,history,diff-closures}".
We update the description to make sense in both contexts.
Currently, Nix passes `-a` when it runs commands on a remote machine via
SSH, which disables agent forwarding. This causes issues when the
`ForwardAgent` option is set in SSH config files, as the command line
operation always overrides those.
In particular, this causes issues if the command being run is `sudo`
and the remote machine is configured with the equivalent of NixOS's
`security.pam.enableSSHAgentAuth` option. Not allowing SSH agent
forwarding can cause authentication to fail unexpectedly.
This can currently be worked around by setting `NIX_SSHOPTS="-A"`, but
we should defer to the options in the SSH config files to be least
surprising for users.
After we've send "\2\n" to the parent, we can't send a serialized
exception anymore. It will show up garbled like
$ nix-build --store /tmp/nix --expr 'derivation { name = "foo"; system = "x86_64-linux"; builder = "/foo/bar"; }'
this derivation will be built:
/nix/store/xmdip0z5x1zqpp6gnxld3vqng7zbpapp-foo.drv
building '/nix/store/xmdip0z5x1zqpp6gnxld3vqng7zbpapp-foo.drv'...
ErrorErrorEexecuting '/foo/bar': No such file or directory
error: builder for '/nix/store/xmdip0z5x1zqpp6gnxld3vqng7zbpapp-foo.drv' failed with exit code 1
While trying to use an alternate directory for my Nix installation, I
noticed that nix's output didn't reflect the updated state
directory. This patch corrects that and now prints the warning before
attempting to create the directory (if the directory creation fails,
it wouldn't have been obvious why nix was attempting to create the
directory in the first place).
With this patch, I now get the following warning:
warning: '/home/deck/.var/app/org.nixos.nix/var/nix' does not
exist, so Nix will use '/home/deck/.local/share/nix/root' as a
chroot store
The documentation for `parseDrvName` does not agree with the implementation when
the derivation name contains a dash which is followed by something that is
neither a letter nor a digit. This commit corrects the documentation to agree
with the implementation.
If we don't have any github token, we won't be able to fetch private
repos, but we are also more likely to run into API limits since
we don't have a token. To mitigate this only ever use the github api
if we actually have a token.
The current definition of `intersectAttrs` is incorrect:
> Return a set consisting of the attributes in the set e2 that also exist in the
> set e1.
Recall that (Nix manual, section 5.1):
> An attribute set is a collection of name-value-pairs (called attributes)
According to the existing description of `intersectAttrs`, the following should
evaluate to the empty set, since no key-value *pair* (i.e. attribute) exists in
both sets:
```
builtins.intersectAttrs { x=3; } {x="foo";}
```
And yet:
```
nix-repl> builtins.intersectAttrs { x=3; } {x="foo";}
{ x = "foo"; }
```
Clearly the intent here was for the *names* of the resulting attribute set to be
the intersection of the *names* of the two arguments, and for the values of the
resulting attribute set to be the values from the second argument.
This commit corrects the definition, making it match the implementation and intent.
Make sure that people who run Nix in non-interactive mode (and so don't have the possibility to interactively accept the individual flake configuration settings) are aware of this flag.
Fix#7086
These settings seem harmless, they control the same polling
functionality that timeout does, but with different behavior. Should
be safe for untrusted users to pass in.
I just had a colleague get confused by the previous phrase for good
reason. "valid" sounds like an *objective* criterion, e.g. and *invalid
signature* would be one that would be trusted by no one, e.g. because it
misformatted or something.
What is actually going is that there might be a signature which is
perfectly valid to *someone else*, but not to the user, because they
don't trust the corresponding public key. This is a *subjective*
criterion, because it depends on the arbitrary and personal choice of
which public keys to trust.
I therefore think "trustworthy" is a better adjective to use. Whether
something is worthy of trust is clearly subjective, and then "trust"
within that word nicely evokes `trusted-public-keys` and friends.
The history is not critical to the functionality of nix repl, so it's
enough to warn here, rather than refuse to start if the directory Nix
thinks the history should live in can't be created.

Remove the `verify TLS: Nix CA file = 'blah'` message that Nix used to print when fetching anything as it's both useless (`libcurl` prints the same info in its logs) and misleading (gives the impression that a new TLS connection is being established which might not be the case because of multiplexing. See #7011 )
This commit adds an optional `__impure` parameter to fetchurl.nix, which allows
the caller to use `libfetcher`'s fetcher in an impure derivation. This allows
nixpkgs' patch-normalizing fetcher (fetchpatch) to be rewritten to use nix's
internal fetchurl, thereby eliminating the awkward "you can't use fetchpatch
here" banners scattered all over the place.

Implements the approach suggested by feedback on PR #6994, where
tempdir paths are created in the store (now with an exclusive lock).
As part of this work, the currently-broken and unused
`createTempDirInStore` function is updated to create an exclusive lock
on the temp directory in the store.
The GC now makes a non-blocking attempt to lock any store directories
that "look like" the temp directories created by this function, and if
it can't acquire one, ignores the directory.
Stdenv sets this to a bash that doesn't have readline/completion
support, so running 'nix (develop|shell)' inside a 'nix develop' gives
you a crippled shell. So let's just ignore the derivation's $SHELL.
This could break interactive use of build phases that use $SHELL, but
they appear to be fairly rare.
Disables the SA_RESTART behavior on macOS which causes:

From: https://man.openbsd.org/sigaction#SA_RESTART
This being set on macOS caused a bug where read() calls to the daemon
socket were blocking after a SIGINT was received. As a result,
checkInterrupt was never reached even though the signal was received
by the signal handler thread.
On Linux, SA_RESTART is disabled by default. This probably effects
other BSDs but I don’t have the ability to test it there right now.
readDerivation is pretty slow, and while it may not be significant for
some use cases, on things like ghc-nix where we have thousands of
derivations is really slows things down.
So, this just doesn’t do the impure derivation check if the impure
derivation experimental feature is disabled. Perhaps we could cache
the result of isPure() and keep the check, but this is a quick fix to
for the slowdown introduced with impure derivations features in 2.8.0.
