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.
Fix#3975: Currently if Ctrl-C is pressed during a phase, the interactive subshell
is not exited. Removing --rcfile when --phase is present makes bash
non-interactive
Make nix output completions in the form `completion\tdescription`.
This can't be used by bash (afaik), but other shells like zsh or fish
can display it along the completion choices
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.
This allows interactively inspecting the state of the evaluator at the
point of failure.

Occasionally, `nix-build --check` is fairly helpful and I'd like to be
able to use this feature for flakes that need to be built with `nix
build` as well.
This adds a ‘nix export’ command which hooks into nix-bundle. It can
be used in a similar way as nix-bundle, with the benefit of hooking
into the new “app” functionality. For instance,
$ nix export nixpkgs#jq
$ ./jq --help
jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6]
...
$ scp jq machine-without-nix:
$ ssh machine-without-nix ./jq
jq - commandline JSON processor [version 1.6]
...
Note that nix-bundle currently requires Linux to run. Other exporters
might not have that requirement.
“exporters” are meant to be reusable, so that, other repos can
implement their own bundling.

match_continuous limits the search to the current start position,

I think this better captures the intent of what's going on: we either
have an opaque store path, or a drv path with some outputs.
Having this structure will also help us support CA derivations: we'll
have to allow the outpath paths to be optional, so the structure we gain
now makes up for the structure we loose then.
to each Store implementation. The generic regStore implementation will
only be for the ambiguous shorthands, like "" and "auto".
This also could get us close to simplifying the daemon command.
Currently resizing of the terminal doesn't play nicely with
nix edit when using kakoune as the editor, as it relies on the
SIGWINCH signal which is trapped by nix. How this is not a problem
with e.g. vim is beyond me.
Virtually all other exec* calls are following a call to
restoreSignals(). This commit adds this behavior to nix edit
as well.
That is, the commands 'nix path-info nixpkgs#hello' and 'nix path-info
/nix/store/00ls0qi49qkqpqblmvz5s1ajl3gc63lr-hello-2.10.drv' now do the
same thing (i.e. build the derivation and operate on the output store
path, rather than the .drv path).
We've added the variant to `DerivationOutput` to support them, but made
`DerivationOutput::path` partial to avoid actually implementing them.
With this chage, we can all collaborate on "just" removing
`DerivationOutput::path` calls to implement CA derivations.
This allows you to refer to an input from another flake. For example,
$ nix run --inputs-from /path/to/hydra nixpkgs#hello
runs 'hello' from the 'nixpkgs' inputs of the 'hydra' flake.
Fixes#3769.
'nix run' will try to run $out/bin/<name>, where <name> is the
derivation name (excluding the version). This often works well:
$ nix run nixpkgs#hello
Hello, world!
$ nix run nix -- --version
nix (Nix) 2.4pre20200626_adf2fbb
$ nix run patchelf -- --version
patchelf 0.11.20200623.e61654b
$ nix run nixpkgs#firefox -- --version
Mozilla Firefox 77.0.1
$ nix run nixpkgs#gimp -- --version
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.10.14
though not always:
$ nix run nixpkgs#git
error: unable to execute '/nix/store/kp7wp760l4gryq9s36x481b2x4rfklcy-git-2.25.4/bin/git-minimal': No such file or directory
E.g.
$ nix run nixpkgs#hello
error: --- Error ---------- nix
flake 'flake:nixpkgs' does not provide attribute 'apps.x86_64-linux.hello' or 'hello'
instead of
$ nix run nixpkgs#hello
error: --- Error ---------- nix
flake 'flake:nixpkgs' does not provide attribute 'hello'
This further continues with the dependency inverstion. Also I just went
ahead and exposed `parseDerivation`: it seems like the more proper
building block, and not a bad thing to expose if we are trying to be
less wedded to drv files on disk anywas.
On nix-env -qa -f '<nixpkgs>', this reduces maximum RSS by 20970 KiB
and runtime by 0.8%. This is mostly because we're not parsing the hash
part as a hash anymore (just validating that it consists of base-32
characters).
Also, replace storePathToHash() by StorePath::hashPart().
This fixes an issue where lockfile generation was not idempotent:
after updating a lockfile, a "follows" node would end up pointing to a
new copy of the node, rather than to the original node.
Needed so that we can include it as a logger in loggers.cc without
adding a dependency on nix
This also requires moving names.hh to libutil to prevent a circular
dependency between libmain and libexpr
Make the printing of the build logs systematically go through the
logger, and replicate the behavior of `no-build-output` by having two
different loggers (one that prints the build logs and one that doesn't)
Add a new `--log-format` cli argument to change the format of the logs.
The possible values are
- raw (the default one for old-style commands)
- bar (the default one for new-style commands)
- bar-with-logs (equivalent to `--print-build-logs`)
- internal-json (the internal machine-readable json format)
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the
'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g.
outputs = { self }: {
templates = {
nixos-container = {
path = ./nixos-container;
description = "An example of a NixOS container";
};
};
};
allows
$ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container
Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake
init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the
current directory.
Instead, `Hash` uses `std::optional<HashType>`. In the future, we may
also make `Hash` itself require a known hash type, encoraging people to
use `std::optional<Hash>` instead.
The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount,
lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary
what attributes are stored where.
As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like
"info": {
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github"
},
is now stored as
"locked": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be",
"type": "github",
"lastModified": 1585405475,
"narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE="
},
The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher
implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the
API.
Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy
flake fetching started using fetchTree internally.
The idea is it's always more flexible to consumer a `Source` than a
plain string, and it might even reduce memory consumption.
I also looked at `addToStoreFromDump` with its `// FIXME: remove?`, but
the worked needed for that is far more up for interpretation, so I
punted for now.
This makes 'nix flake' less cluttered and more consistent (it's only
subcommands that operator on a flake). Also, the registry is not
inherently flake-related (e.g. fetchTree could also use it to remap
inputs).
This completes flakerefs using the registry (e.g. 'nix<TAB>' => 'nix
nixpkgs') and flake output attributes by evaluating the flake
(e.g. 'dwarffs#nix<TAB>' => 'dwarffs#nixosModules').
InstallableValue has children InstallableFlake and InstallableAttrPath, but InstallableFlake was overriding toDerivations, and usage was changed so that InstallableFlake didn't need cmd. So these changes were made:
InstallableValue::toDerivations() -> InstalllableAttrPath::toDerivations()
InstallableValue::cmd -> InstallableAttrPath::cmd
InstallableValue uses state instead of cmd
toBuildables() and toDerivations() were made abstract
- result list will be always empty if --json is passed
- for scripts an empty search result is not really an error,
we rather want to distinguish between evaluation errors and empty results
This means you now get an error message *before* stuff gets built:
$ nix copy .#hydraJobs.vendoredCrates
error: you must pass '--from' and/or '--to'
Try 'nix --help' for more information.
In particular, doing 'nix build /path/to/dir' now works if
/path/to/dir is not a Git tree (it only has to contain a flake.nix
file).
Also, 'nix flake init' no longer requires a Git tree (but it will do a
'git add flake.nix' if it's a Git tree)
In particular, we store whether an attribute failed to evaluate (threw
an exception) or was an unsupported type. This is to ensure that a
repeated 'nix flake show' never has to evaluate anything, so it can
execute without fetching the flake.
With this, 'nix flake show nixpkgs/nixos-20.03 --legacy' executes in
0.6s (was 3.4s).
This speeds up the creation of the cache for the nixpkgs flake from
21.2s to 10.2s. Oddly, it also speeds up querying the cache
(i.e. running 'nix flake show nixpkgs/nixos-20.03 --legacy') from 4.2s
to 3.4s.
(For comparison, running with --no-eval-cache takes 9.5s, so the
overhead of building the SQLite cache is only 0.7s.)
In the fully cached case for the 'nixpkgs' flake, it went from 101s to
4.6s. Populating the cache went from 132s to 17.4s (which could
probably be improved further by combining INSERTs).
Usually this just writes to stdout, but for ProgressBar, we need to
clear the current line, write the line to stdout, and then redraw the
progress bar.

Usually this just writes to stdout, but for ProgressBar, we need to

Previously the memory would occasionally be collected during eval since
the GC doesn't consider the member variable as alive / doesn't scan the
region of memory where the pointer lives.
By using the traceable_allocator<T> allocator provided by Boehm GC we
can ensure the memory isn't collected. It should be properly freed when
SourceExprCommand goes out of scope.
Future editions of flakes or the Nix language can be supported by
renaming flake.nix (e.g. flake-v2.nix). This avoids a bootstrap
problem where we don't know which grammar to use to parse
flake*.nix. It also allows a project to support multiple flake
editions, in theory.
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
This is useful for finding out what a registry lookup resolves to, e.g
$ nix flake info patchelf
Resolved URL: github:NixOS/patchelf
Locked URL: github:NixOS/patchelf/cd7955af31698c571c30b7a0f78e59fd624d0229
One application for this is pinning the 'nixpkgs' flake to the exact
revision used to build the NixOS system, e.g.
{
"flakes": [
{
"from": {
"id": "nixpkgs",
"type": "indirect"
},
"to": {
"owner": "NixOS",
"repo": "nixpkgs",
"type": "github",
"rev": "b0c285807d6a9f1b7562ec417c24fa1a30ecc31a"
}
}
],
"version": 2
}
Note: like 'nix run', and unlike 'nix-shell', this takes an argv
vector rather than a shell command. So
nix dev-shell -c 'echo $PATH'
doesn't work. Instead you need to do
nix dev-shell -c bash -c 'echo $PATH'
This copies a flake and all its inputs recursively to a store (e.g. a
binary cache). This is intended to enable long-term reproducibility
for flakes. However this will also require #3253.
Example:
$ nix flake archive --json --to file:///tmp/my-cache nixops

Fixes#3336.
Typical usage:
$ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard --update-input nixpkgs
to update the 'nixpkgs' input of a flake while leaving every other
input unchanged.
The argument is an input path, so you can do e.g. '--update-input
dwarffs/nixpkgs' to update an input of an input.
Fixes#2928.
Added a flag --no-update-lock-file to barf if the lock file needs any
changes. This is useful for CI systems if you're building a
checkout. Fixes#2947.
Renamed --no-save-lock-file to --no-write-lock-file. It is now a fatal
error if the lock file needs changes but --no-write-lock-file is not
given.
E.g.
$ nix flake update ~/Misc/eelco-configurations/hagbard \
--override-input 'dwarffs/nixpkgs' ../my-nixpkgs
overrides the 'nixpkgs' input of the 'dwarffs' input of the top-level
flake.
Fixes#2837.
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.
Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.
Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
This replaces the '(...)' installable syntax, which is not very
discoverable. The downside is that you can't have multiple expressions
or mix expressions and other installables.
This doesn't work anymore since `packages` was removed from the
`nixpkgs`-fork with flake support[1], now it's only possible to refer to
pkgs via `legacyPackages`.
[1] 49c9b71e4c
The intent of the code was that if the window size cannot be determined,
it would be treated as having the maximum possible size. Because of a
missing assignment, it was actually treated as having a width of 0.
The reason the width could not be determined was because it was obtained
from stdout, not stderr, even though the printing was done to stderr.
This commit addresses both issues.
Add missing docstring on InstallableCommand. Also, some of these were wrapped
when they're right next to a line longer than the unwrapped line, so we can just
unwrap them to save vertical space.
This allows to have a repl-centric workflow to working on nixpkgs.
Usage:
:edit <package> - heuristic that find the package file path
:edit <path> - just open the editor on the file path
Once invoked, `nix repl` will open $EDITOR on that file path. Once the
editor exits, `nix repl` will automatically reload itself.
This adds a command 'nix make-content-addressable' that rewrites the
specified store paths into content-addressable paths. The advantage of
such paths is that 1) they can be imported without signatures; 2) they
can enable deduplication in cases where derivation changes do not
cause output changes (apart from store path hashes).
For example,
$ nix make-content-addressable -r nixpkgs.cowsay
rewrote '/nix/store/g1g31ah55xdia1jdqabv1imf6mcw0nb1-glibc-2.25-49' to '/nix/store/48jfj7bg78a8n4f2nhg269rgw1936vj4-glibc-2.25-49'
...
rewrote '/nix/store/qbi6rzpk0bxjw8lw6azn2mc7ynnn455q-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16' to '/nix/store/iq6g2x4q62xp7y7493bibx0qn5w7xz67-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16'
We can then copy the resulting closure to another store without
signatures:
$ nix copy --trusted-public-keys '' ---to ~/my-nix /nix/store/iq6g2x4q62xp7y7493bibx0qn5w7xz67-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16
In order to support self-references in content-addressable paths,
these paths are hashed "modulo" self-references, meaning that
self-references are zeroed out during hashing. Somewhat annoyingly,
this means that the NAR hash stored in the Nix database is no longer
necessarily equal to the output of "nix hash-path"; for
content-addressable paths, you need to pass the --modulo flag:
$ nix path-info --json /nix/store/iq6g2x4q62xp7y7493bibx0qn5w7xz67-cowsay-3.03+dfsg1-16 | jq -r .[].narHash

Experimental features are now opt-in. There is currently one
experimental feature: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command. This will allow us to merge experimental features more
quickly, without committing to supporting them indefinitely.
Typical usage:
$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello
(cherry picked from commit 8e478c2341,
without the "flakes" feature)
Experimental features are now opt-in. There are currently two
experimental features: "nix-command" (which enables the "nix"
command), and "flakes" (which enables support for flakes). This will
allow us to merge experimental features more quickly, without
committing to supporting them indefinitely.
Typical usage:
$ nix build --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' nixpkgs#hello
A command like
$ nix run nixpkgs#hello
will now build the attribute 'packages.${system}.hello' rather than
'packages.hello'. Note that this does mean that the flake needs to
export an attribute for every system type it supports, and you can't
build on unsupported systems. So 'packages' typically looks like this:
packages = nixpkgs.lib.genAttrs ["x86_64-linux" "i686-linux"] (system: {
hello = ...;
});
The 'checks', 'defaultPackage', 'devShell', 'apps' and 'defaultApp'
outputs similarly are now attrsets that map system types to
derivations/apps. 'nix flake check' checks that the derivations for
all platforms evaluate correctly, but only builds the derivations in
'checks.${system}'.
Fixes#2861. (That issue also talks about access to ~/.config/nixpkgs
and --arg, but I think it's reasonable to say that flakes shouldn't
support those.)
The alternative to attribute selection is to pass the system type as
an argument to the flake's 'outputs' function, e.g. 'outputs = { self,
nixpkgs, system }: ...'. However, that approach would be at odds with
hermetic evaluation and make it impossible to enumerate the packages
provided by a flake.
When running nix doctor on a healthy system, it just prints the store URI and
nothing else. This makes it unclear whether the system is in a good state and
what check(s) it actually ran, since some of the checks are optional depending
on the store type.
This commit updates nix doctor to print an colored log message for every check
that it does, and explicitly state whether that check was a PASS or FAIL to make
it clear to the user whether the system passed its checkup with the doctor.
Fixes#3084
Only variables that were marked as exported are exported in the dev
shell. Also, we no longer try to parse the function section of the env
file, fixing
$ nix dev-shell
error: shell environment '/nix/store/h7ama3kahb8lypf4nvjx34z06g9ncw4h-nixops-1.7pre20190926.4c7acbb-env' has unexpected line '/^[a-z]?"""/ {'
If 'input.<name>.uri' changes, then the entry in the lockfile for
input <name> should be considered stale.
Also print some messages when lock file entries are added/updated.
So you now get
$ nix build
error: path '.' is not a flake (because it does not reference a Git repository)
rather than
$ nix build
error: unsupported argument '.'
Instead of a list, inputs are now an attrset like
inputs = {
nixpkgs.uri = github:NixOS/nixpkgs;
};
If 'uri' is omitted, than the flake is a lookup in the flake registry, e.g.
inputs = {
nixpkgs = {};
};
but in that case, you can also just omit the input altogether and
specify it as an argument to the 'outputs' function, as in
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: ...
This also gets rid of 'nonFlakeInputs', which are now just a special
kind of input that have a 'flake = false' attribute, e.g.
inputs = {
someRepo = {
uri = github:example/repo;
flake = false;
};
};
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:
DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev
This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).
This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`
and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2
compatible format:
[nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix
these derivations will be built:
/nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv

This ensures that stdenv / setup hooks take $IN_NIX_SHELL into
account. For example, stdenv only sets
NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE=/no-cert-file.crt if we're not in a shell.
Some kernels disable "unpriveleged user namespaces". This is
unfortunate, but we can still use mount namespaces. Anyway, since each
builder has its own nixbld user, we already have most of the benefits
of user namespaces.
This replaces 'nix-env --set'. For example:
$ nix build --profile /nix/var/nix/profiles/system \
~/Misc/eelco-configurations:nixosConfigurations.vyr.config.system.build.toplevel
updates the NixOS system profile from a flake.
This could have been a separate command (e.g. 'nix set-profile') but
1) '--profile' is pretty similar to '--out-link'; and 2) '--profile'
could be useful for other command (like 'nix dev-shell').
Our use of boost::coroutine2 depends on -lboost_context,
which in turn depends on `-lboost_thread`, which in turn depends
on `-lboost_system`.
I suspect that this builds on nix only because of low-level hacks
like NIX_LDFLAGS.
This commit passes the proper linker flags, thus fixing bootstrap
builds on non-nix distributions like Ubuntu 16.04.
With these changes, I can build Nix on Ubuntu 16.04 using:
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/editline-prefix \
--disable-doc-gen \
CXX=g++-7 \
--with-boost=$HOME/boost-prefix \
EDITLINE_CFLAGS=-I$HOME/editline-prefix/include \
EDITLINE_LIBS=-leditline \
LDFLAGS=-L$HOME/editline-prefix/lib
make
where
* g++-7 comes from gcc-7 from
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test,
* editline 1.14 from https://github.com/troglobit/editline/releases/tag/1.14.0
was installed into `$HOME/editline-prefix`
(because Ubuntu 16.04's `editline` is too old to have the function nix uses),
* boost 1.66 from
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
was installed into $HOME/boost-prefix (because Ubuntu 16.04 only has 1.58)
'updateCV.notify_one()' does nothing if the update thread is not
waiting for updateCV (in particular this happens when it is sleeping
on quitCV). So also set a variable to ensure that the update isn't
lost.
