Not implementing anything here, just throwing an error if a derivation
sets `__contentAddressed = true` without
`--experimental-features content-addressed-paths`
(and also with it as there's nothing implemented yet)
E.g. instead of
error: --- BuildError ----------------------------------------------- nix
builder for '/nix/store/03nk0a3n8h2948k4lqfgnnmym7knkcma-foo.drv' failed with exit code 1
error: --- Error ---------------------------------------------------- nix
build of '/nix/store/03nk0a3n8h2948k4lqfgnnmym7knkcma-foo.drv' failed
we now get
error: --- Error ---------------------------------------------------- nix
builder for '/nix/store/03nk0a3n8h2948k4lqfgnnmym7knkcma-foo.drv' failed with exit code 1
Originally, the test was only checking for different “real” storeDir.
That’s an easy case to handle, but the much harder one is if different
virtual store dirs are used. To do this, we need the SubstitutionGoal
to know about the ca, so it can recalculate the path to copy it over.
An important note here is that the store path passed to copyStorePath
needs to be one for srcStore - so that queryPathInfo works properly.
This also adds an error message when the store path from queryPathInfo
is different from the one we requested.
This function was used in only one place, where it could easily be
replaced by readDerivation() since it's not
performance-critical. (This function appears to have been modelled
after queryDerivationOutputs(), which exists only to make the garbage
collector faster.)
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)
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 commit 3cc1125595 adds a `grantpt`
call on the builder pseudo terminal fd. This call is actually only
required for MacOS, but it however requires a RW access to /dev/pts
which is only RO bindmounted in the Bazel Linux sandbox. So, Nix can
not be actually run in the Bazel Linux sandbox for unneeded reasons.
Temporarily add user-write permission to build directory so that it
can be moved out of the sandbox to the store with a .check suffix.
This is necessary because the build directory has already had its
permissions set read-only, but write permission is required
to update the directory's parent link to move it out of the sandbox.
Updated the related --check "derivation may not be deterministic"
messages to consistently use the real store paths.
Added test for non-root sandbox nix-build --check -K to demonstrate
issue and help prevent regressions.
With --check and the --keep-failed (-K) flag, the temporary directory
was being retained regardless of whether the build was successful and
reproducible. This removes the temporary directory, as expected, on
a reproducible check build.
Added tests to verify that temporary build directories are not
retained unnecessarily, particularly when using --check with
--keep-failed.
Today's fixed output derivations and regular derivations differ in a few
ways which are largely orthogonal. This replaces `isFixedOutput` with a
`type` that returns an enum of possible combinations.
Having a colon in the path may cause issues, and having the hash
function indicated isn't actually necessary. We now verify the path
format in the tests to prevent regressions.

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
This was tough to debug, I didn't figure out which one was broken until I did:
nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv 2>&1 | grep nix/store | xargs -n1 nix-store -r
and then looking at the remaining build graph:
$ nix-store -r /nix/store/grfnl76cahwls0igd2by2pqv0dimi8h2-nixos-system-eris-19.09.20191213.03f3def.drv

error: invalid file name 'closure-init-0' in 'exportReferencesGraph'
and knowing the initrd build is before the system, then:
$ nix show-derivation /nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv
{
"/nix/store/3ka4ihvwh6wsyhpd2qa9f59506mnxvx1-initrd-linux-4.19.88.drv": {

"exportReferencesGraph": "closure-init-0 /nix/store/...-stage-1-init.sh closure-mdadm.conf-1 /nix/store/...-mdadm.conf closure-ubuntu.conf-2 ...",
[...]
}
}
I then searched the repo for "in 'exportReferencesGraph'", found this
recently updated regex, and realized it was missing a "-".
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).
Derivations that want to use recursion should now set
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "recursive-nix" ];
to make the daemon socket appear.
Also, Nix should be configured with "experimental-features =
recursive-nix".
This allows Nix builders to call Nix to build derivations, with some
limitations.
Example:
let nixpkgs = fetchTarball channel:nixos-18.03; in
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo"
{
buildInputs = [ nix jq ];
NIX_PATH = "nixpkgs=${nixpkgs}";
}
''
hello=$(nix-build -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).hello.overrideDerivation (args: { name = "hello-3.5"; })')
$hello/bin/hello
mkdir -p $out/bin
ln -s $hello/bin/hello $out/bin/hello
nix path-info -r --json $hello | jq .
''
This derivation makes a recursive Nix call to build GNU Hello and
symlinks it from its $out, i.e.
# ll ./result/bin/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 Jan 1 1970 hello -> /nix/store/s0awxrs71gickhaqdwxl506hzccb30y5-hello-3.5/bin/hello
# nix-store -qR ./result
/nix/store/hwwqshlmazzjzj7yhrkyjydxamvvkfd3-glibc-2.26-131
/nix/store/s0awxrs71gickhaqdwxl506hzccb30y5-hello-3.5
/nix/store/sgmvvyw8vhfqdqb619bxkcpfn9lvd8ss-foo
This is implemented as follows:
* Before running the outer builder, Nix creates a Unix domain socket
'.nix-socket' in the builder's temporary directory and sets
$NIX_REMOTE to point to it. It starts a thread to process
connections to this socket. (Thus you don't need to have nix-daemon
running.)
* The daemon thread uses a wrapper store (RestrictedStore) to keep
track of paths added through recursive Nix calls, to implement some
restrictions (see below), and to do some censorship (e.g. for
purity, queryPathInfo() won't return impure information such as
signatures and timestamps).
* After the build finishes, the output paths are scanned for
references to the paths added through recursive Nix calls (in
addition to the inputs closure). Thus, in the example above, $out
has a reference to $hello.
The main restriction on recursive Nix calls is that they cannot do
arbitrary substitutions. For example, doing
nix-store -r /nix/store/kmwd1hq55akdb9sc7l3finr175dajlby-hello-2.10
is forbidden unless /nix/store/kmwd... is in the inputs closure or
previously built by a recursive Nix call. This is to prevent
irreproducible derivations that have hidden dependencies on
substituters or the current store contents. Building a derivation is
fine, however, and Nix will use substitutes if available. In other
words, the builder has to present proof that it knows how to build a
desired store path from scratch by constructing a derivation graph for
that path.
Probably we should also disallow instantiating/building fixed-output
derivations (specifically, those that access the network, but
currently we have no way to mark fixed-output derivations that don't
access the network). Otherwise sandboxed derivations can bypass
sandbox restrictions and access the network.
When sandboxing is enabled, we make paths appear in the sandbox of the
builder by entering the mount namespace of the builder and
bind-mounting each path. This is tricky because we do a pivot_root()
in the builder to change the root directory of its mount namespace,
and thus the host /nix/store is not visible in the mount namespace of
the builder. To get around this, just before doing pivot_root(), we
branch a second mount namespace that shares its /nix/store mountpoint
with the parent.
Recursive Nix currently doesn't work on macOS in sandboxed mode
(because we can't change the sandbox policy of a running build) and in
non-root mode (because setns() barfs).
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.
