We occasionnally commit to git repositories (like with `nix flake update --commit-lock-file`).
This shells out to `git commit`, which might wait for user input (for a signing key passphrase for instance).
Disable the progress bar while this is running to make sure that the
user can enter it.

From the existing doc it is not obvious whether the first or the
second argument is the accumulator. This is however relevant to
know, as for certain scenarios, this might change the behavior.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269064 makes rapidcheck be build
as a shared lib, but that broke Nix because the `-lrapidcheck` was
missing. This fixes that (and doesn't break Nix what the library is a
static archive as today).
It is not inherently tied to `LocalStore`, it could probably even go in
`libnixutil`. Functions not attached to `LocalStore` should not be
declared in `local-store.hh`.
I am moving it to facilitate experimenting for #9344. If
canonicalisation should be done client-side in client-side builds, there
wouldn't be a `LocalStore` at all so having to include that header to
get this freestanding function is cumbersome and wrong.
Perhaps canonicalisation should still be done server-side for security
reasons --- I don't mean to make that judgement call now --- but even if
so, this freestanding function still isn't connected to `LocalStore` so
while less urgent it is still better to move out of this header.
This avoids repeated copying of the same source tree between Nix
invocations. It requires the accessor to have a "fingerprint" (e.g. a
Git revision) that uniquely determines its contents.
getFlake currently calls lstat (via isLink via canonPath) before it
performs the sanity check that a flake.nix exists in the first place.
This commit moves the check to before path canonicalization, so that
failed symlink check operations don't throw before the check does.
Fixes:

**`Value` and `const`**
These two deserve some explanation. We'll get to lists later.
Values can normally be thought of as immutable, except they are
are also the vehicle for call by need, which must be implemented
using mutation.
This circumstance makes a `const Value` a rather useless thing:
- If it's a thunk, you can't evaluate it, except by copying, but
that would not be call by need.
- If it's not a thunk, you know the type, so the method that
acquired it for you should have returned something more specific,
such as a `const Bindings &` (which actually does make sense
because that's an immutable span of pointers to mutable `Value`s.
- If you don't care about the type yet, you might establish the
convention that `const Value` means `deepSeq`-ed data, but
this is hardly useful and not actually as safe as you would
supposedly want to trust it to be - just convention.
**Lists**
`std::span` is a tuple of pointer and size - just what we need.
We don't return them as `const Value`, because considering the
first bullet point we discussed before, we'd have to force all
the list values, which isn't what we want.
So what we end up with is a nice representation of a list in
weak head normal form: the spine is immutable, but the
items may need some evaluation later.
Closes#9343
See that issue for motivation.
Installing these is disabled by default, but we enable it (and the
additional output we want isntall these too so as not to clutter the
existing ones) to use in cross builds and dev shells.
Try to stay away from stack overflows.
These small vectors use stack space. Most instances will not need
to allocate because in general most things are small, and large
things are worth heap allocating.
16 * 3 * word = 384 bytes is still quite a bit, but these functions
tend not to be part of deep recursions.
This makes stack usage significantly more compact, allowing larger
amounts of data to be processed on the same stack.
PrimOp functions with more than 8 positional (curried) arguments
should use an attrset instead.
VLAs are a dangerous feature, and their usage triggers an undefined
behavior since theire size can be zero in some cases.
So replace them with `boost::small_vector`s which fit the same goal but
are safer.
It's also incidentally consistently 1% faster on the benchmarks.
SHELL was inherited from the system environment. This resulted in a new
shell being started, but with SHELL still referring to the system shell
and not the one used by nix-develop.
Applications like make, use SHELL to run commands, which meant that
top-level commands are run inside the nix-develop-shell, but
sub-commands are ran inside the system shell.
This setenv forces SHELL to always be set to the shell used by
nix-develop.
This is the core functionality but just unit-tested and not yet made
part of the store layer. This is because there is some tech debt around
(a) repeated boilerplate hashing objects (b) better integration of the
new `SourceAccessor` type that needs to be cleaned up first.

As discussed in our last meeting, we need a bit more time, but we are
"time boxing" the work left to do to ensure there is not unbounded
delay.
Rather than putting it back underneath `flakes`, though, put it
underneath its own `fetch-tree` experimental feature (which `flakes`
includes/implies). This signals our commitment to the plan to stabilize
it first without waiting to go through the rest of Flakes, and also will
give users a "release candidate" when we get closer to stabilization.
This reverts commit 4112dd1fc9.
These usages of the working directory are perhaps unlikely to
interact with shebangs, but the code is more consistent this way,
and we're less likely to miss usages that do interact.
Enables shebang usage of nix shell. All arguments with `#! nix` get
added to the nix invocation. This implementation does NOT set any
additional arguments other than placing the script path itself as the
first argument such that the interpreter can utilize it.
Example below:
```
#!/usr/bin/env nix
#! nix shell --quiet
#! nix nixpkgs#bash
#! nix nixpkgs#shellcheck
#! nix nixpkgs#hello
#! nix --ignore-environment --command bash
# shellcheck shell=bash
set -eu
shellcheck "$0" || exit 1
function main {
hello
echo 0:"$0" 1:"$1" 2:"$2"
}
"$@"
```
fix: include programName usage
EDIT: For posterity I've changed shellwords to shellwords2 in order
not to interfere with other changes during a rebase.
shellwords2 is removed in a later commit. -- roberth
Users may select specific outputs using the ^output syntax or selecting
any output using ^*.
URL parsing currently doesn't support these kinds of output references:
parsing will fail.
Currently `queryRegex` was reused for URL fragments, which didn't
include support for ^. Now queryRegex has been split from fragmentRegex,
where only the fragmentRegex supports ^.
* Fix boost::bad_format_string exception in builtins.addErrorContext
The message passed to addTrace was incorrectly being used as a format
string and this this would cause an exception when the string contained
a '%', which can be hit in places where arbitrary file paths are
interpolated.
* add test
Before it returned a list of JSON objects with store object information,
including the path in each object. Now, it maps the paths to JSON
objects with the metadata sans path.
This matches how `nix derivation show` works.
Quite hillariously, none of our existing functional tests caught this
change to `path-info --json` though they did use it. So just new
functional tests need to be added.
`Store::pathInfoToJSON` was a rather baroque functions, being full of
parameters to support both parsed derivations and `nix path-info`. The
common core of each, a simple `dValidPathInfo::toJSON` function, is
factored out, but the rest of the logic is just duplicated and then
specialized to its use-case (at which point it is no longer that
duplicated).
This keeps the human oriented CLI logic (which is currently unstable)
and the core domain logic (export reference graphs with structured
attrs, which is stable), separate, which I think is better.
Spent a while debugging why `nix-copy-closure` wasn't working anymore
and it was my shell RC printing something I added for debug.
Hopefully this can save someone else some time.
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
The new `MemorySourceAccessor` rather than being a slightly lossy flat
map is a complete in-memory model of file system objects.

This adds publicKeys as an optional fetcher input attribute to flakes
and builtins.fetchGit to provide a nix interface for the json-encoded
`publicKeys` attribute of the git fetcher.
Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>
This implements the git input attributes `verifyCommit`, `keytype`,
`publicKey` and `publicKeys` as experimental feature
`verified-fetches`. `publicKeys` should be a json string.
This representation was chosen because all attributes must be of type bool,
int or string so they can be included in flake uris (see definition of
fetchers::Attr).
When doing local builds, we get phase reporting lines in the log file,
they look like '@nix {"action":"setPhase","phase":"unpackPhase"}'.
With the ssh-ng protocol, we do have access to these messages, but since we
are only including messages of type resBuildLogLine in the logs, the phase
information does not end up in the log file.
The phase reporting could probably be improved altoghether (it looks like it
is kind of accidental that these JSON messages for phase reporting show up
but others don't, just because they are actually emitted by nixpkgs' stdenv),
but as a first step I propose to make ssh-ng behave in the same way as local builds do.
Deduplicating code moreover enforcing the pattern means:
- It is easier to write new characterization tests because less boilerplate
- It is harder to mess up new tests because there are fewer places to
make mistakes.

Noticed because of a warning during an rpm build:
*** WARNING: ./usr/src/debug/nix-2.18.1-1.fc40.x86_64/src/nix-copy-closure/nix-copy-closure.cc is executable but has no shebang, removing executable bit

I wouldn't call it *good* yet, but this will do for now.
- `RetrieveRegularNARSink` renamed to `RegularFileSink` and moved
accordingly because it actually has nothing to do with NARs in
particular.
- its `fd` field is also marked private
- `copyRecursive` introduced to dump a `SourceAccessor` into a
`ParseSink`.
- `NullParseSink` made so `ParseSink` no longer has sketchy default
methods.
This was done while updating #8918 to work with the new
`SourceAccessor`.
Adding the inputPath as a positional feature uncovered this bug.
As positional argument forms were discarded from the `expectedArgs`
list, their closures were not. When the `.completer` closure was then
called, part of the surrounding object did not exist anymore.
This didn't cause an issue before, but with the new call to
`getEvalState()` in the "inputs" completer in nix/flake.cc, a segfault
was triggered reproducibly on invalid memory access to the `this`
pointer, which was always 0.
The solution of splicing the argument forms into a new list to extend
their lifetime is a bit of a hack, but I was unable to get the "nicer"
iterator-based solution to work.
Instead of making a complete copy of the repo, fetching the
submodules, and writing the result to the store (which is all
superexpensive), we now fetch the submodules recursively using the Git
fetcher, and return a union accessor that "mounts" the accessors for
the submodules on top of the root accessor.
We now have `schemeName` and `allowedAttrs` functions for this purpose.
We look up the schema with the former; we restrict the set of input
attributes with the latter.
The brings a number of advantages, including:
- Easier to update test data if design changes (and I do think our
derivation JSON is not yet complaint with the guidelines).
- Easier to reuse test data in other implementations, inching closer to
compliance tests for Nix *the concept* rather than any one
implementation.
Before the change builder ID exhaustion printed the following message:
[0/1 built] waiting for UID to build '/nix/store/hiy9136x0iyib4ssh3w3r5m8pxjnad50-python3.11-breathe-4.35.0.drv'
After the change it should be:
[0/1 built] waiting for a free build user ID for '/nix/store/hiy9136x0iyib4ssh3w3r5m8pxjnad50-python3.11-breathe-4.35.0.drv'
Committing a lock file using markFileChanged() required the input to
be writable by the caller in the local filesystem (using the path
returned by getSourcePath()). putFile() abstracts over this.
Rather than having a misc tutorial page in the grab-bag "package management" section, this information should just be part of the S3 store docs.

End goal: make `(mkDerivation x).drvPath` behave like a non-DrvDeep
context.
Problem: users won't be able to recover the DrvDeep behavior when
nixpkgs makes this change.
Solution: add this primop.
The new primop is fairly simple, and is supposed to complement other
existing ones (`builtins.storePath`, `builtins.outputOf`) so there are
simple ways to construct strings with every type of string context
element.
(It allows nothing we couldn't already do with `builtins.getContext` and `builtins.appendContext`, which is also true of those other two primops.)
This was originally in #8595, but then it was proposed to land some doc
changes separately. So now the code changes proper is just moved to
this, and the doc will be done in that.

Leading whitespace after `nix-shell` used to produce an empty argument,
while an empty argument at the end of the line was ignored.
Fix the first issue by consuming the initial whitespace before calling
shellwords; fix the second issue by returning immediately if whitespace
is found at the end of the string instead of checking for an empty
string.
Also throw if quotes aren't terminated.
Single quotes are a basic feature of shell syntax that people expect to
work. They are also more convenient for writing literal code expressions
with less escaping.
As I complained in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6784#issuecomment-1421777030 (a
comment on the wrong PR, sorry again!), #6693 introduced a second
completions mechanism to fix a bug. Having two completion mechanisms
isn't so nice.
As @thufschmitt also pointed out, it was a bummer to go from `FlakeRef`
to `std::string` when collecting flake refs. Now it is `FlakeRefs`
again.
The underlying issue that sought to work around was that completion of
arguments not at the end can still benefit from the information from
latter arguments.
To fix this better, we rip out that change and simply defer all
completion processing until after all the (regular, already-complete)
arguments have been passed.
In addition, I noticed the original completion logic used some global
variables. I do not like global variables, because even if they save
lines of code, they also obfuscate the architecture of the code.
I got rid of them moved them to a new `RootArgs` class, which now has
`parseCmdline` instead of `Args`. The idea is that we have many argument
parsers from subcommands and what-not, but only one root args that owns
the other per actual parsing invocation. The state that was global is
now part of the root args instead.
This did, admittedly, add a bunch of new code. And I do feel bad about
that. So I went and added a lot of API docs to try to at least make the
current state of things clear to the next person.
--
This is needed for RFC 134 (tracking issue #7868). It was very hard to
modularize `Installable` parsing when there were two completion
arguments. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is *easy* now, but at least
it is less hard (and the completions test finally passed).

It does not belong with the data type itself.
This also materializes the fact that `copyPath` does not do any version
negotiation just just hard-codes "16".
The non-standard interface of these serializers makes it harder to test,
but this is fixed in the next commit which then adds those tests.
Worker Protocol:
Note that the worker protocol already had a serialization for
`BuildResult`; this was added in
a4604f1928. It didn't have any versioning
support because at that time reusable seralizers were not away for the protocol
version. It could thus only be used for new messages also introduced in
that commit.
Now that we do support versioning in reusable serializers, we can expand
it to support all known versions and use it in many more places.
The exist test data becomes the version 1.29 tests: note that those
files' contents are unchanged. 1.28 and 1.27 tests are added to cover
the older code-paths.
The keyered build result test only has 1.29 because the keying was also
added in a4604f19284254ac98f19a13ff7c2216de7fe176; the older
serializations are always used unkeyed.
Serve Protocol:
Conversely, no attempt was made to factor out such a serializer for the
serve protocol, so our work there in this commit for that protocol
proceeds from scratch.
It was some ad-hoc functions to account for versions, while the already
factored-out serializer just supported the latest version.
Now, we can fold that version-specific logic into the factored out one,
and so we do.
It is dead code. It was added in
8e0946e8df as part of the repeated /
enforce-determinism feature, but that was removed in
8fdd156a65.
It is not good because it skips many fields. For testing purposes we
will soon want to add a new one that doesn't skip fields, but we want to
make sure making == sensitive to those fields won't change how Nix
works. Proving in this commit that the old version is dead code achieves
that.
hashBase is ambiguous, since it's not about the digital bases, but about
the format of hashes. Base16, Base32 and Base64 are all character maps
for binary encoding.
Rename the enum Base to HashFormat.
Rename variables of type HashFormat from [hash]Base to hashFormat,
including CmdHashBase::hashFormat and CmdToBase::hashFormat.
MemoryInputAccessor is an in-memory virtual filesystem that returns
files like <nix/fetchurl.nix>. This removes the need for special hacks
to handle those files.
This will allow us to factor out logic, which is currently scattered
inline, into several reusable instances
The tests are also updated to support versioning. Currently all Worker
and Serve protocol tests are using the minimum version, since no
version-specific serialisers have been created yet. But in subsequent
commits when that changes, we will test individual versions to ensure
complete coverage.
16591eb3cc (diff-19f999107b609d37cfb22c58e7f0bc1cf76edf1180e238dd6389e03cc279b604) (2013) added support for files to doBind
This is work towards allowing users to change the location of chrootRootDir, to, for example, a tmpfs.
inspired by trofi on matrix
> It looks like build sandbox created by nix-daemon runs on the same filesystem, as /nix/store including things like /tmp which makes all small temporary files hit the disk. Is it intentional? If it is is there an easy way to redirect chroot's root to be tmpfs?
dirsInChroot -> pathsInChroot
Two changes:
* The (probably unintentional) hack to handle paths as tarballs has
been removed. This is almost certainly not what users expect and is
inconsistent with flakeref handling everywhere else.
* The hack to support scp-style Git URLs has been moved to the Git
fetcher, so it's now supported not just by fetchTree but by flake
inputs.
Add a new experimental `impure-env` setting that is a key-value list of
environment variables to inject into FOD derivations that specify the
corresponding `impureEnvVars`.
This allows clients to make use of this feature (without having to change the
environment of the daemon itself) and might eventually deprecate the current
behaviour (pick whatever is in the environment of the daemon) as it's more
principled and might prevent information leakage.
