... so that we may perhaps later extend the interface.
Note that Nixpkgs' lib.warn already requires a string coercible
argument, so this is reasonable. Also note that string coercible
values aren't all strings, but in practice, for warn, they are.
Fixes assertion failure if outputsToInstall is empty by defaulting to the "out"
output. That is, behavior between the following commands should be consistent:
$ nix build --no-link --json .#nothing-to-install-no-out
error: derivation '/nix/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-nothing-to-install-no-out.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'out'
$ nix build --no-link --file default.nix --json nothing-to-install-no-out
error: derivation '/nix/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-nothing-to-install-no-out.drv' does not have wanted outputs 'out'
Real-world example of this issue:

In particular `local://<path>` and `unix://` (without any path) now
work, and mean the same things as `local` and `daemon`, respectively. We
thus now have the opportunity to desguar `local` and `daemon` early.
This will allow me to make a change to
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9839 requested during review to
desugar those earlier.

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

previously the test directory could have been left untouched before executing
a test when `init.sh` was not run - and sometimes it isn't
supposed to be run - which made the test suite highly stateful and thus
behaving surprisingly on multiple runs.
pararameterisation is not actually needed the way things are currently
set up, and it confused me when trying to understand what the code does.
all but one test sources vars-and-functions.sh, which nominally only
defines variables, but in practice is always coupled with the actual
initialisation. while the cleaner way of making this more legible would
be to source variables and initialisation separately, this would produce
a huge diff.
the change requires a few small fixes to keep the tests working:
- only create test home directory during initialisation
that vars-and-functions.sh wrote to the file system seems not write
- fix creation of the test directory
due to statefulness, the test home directory was implicitly creating
the test root, too. decoupling that made it apparent that this was
probably not intentional, and certainly confusing.
- only source vars-and-functions.sh if init.sh is not needed
there is one test case that only needs a helper function but no
initialisation side effects
- remove some unnecessary cleanups and split parts of re-used test code
there were confusing bits in how initialisation code was repurposed,
which break if trying to refactor the outer layers naively...
In streaming mode, libarchive doesn't handle symlinks in zip files
correctly. So write the entire file to disk so libarchive can access
it in random-access mode.
Fixes#10649. This was broken in cabee98152.
Make sure that `extraSandboxProfile` is set before we check whether it's
empty or not (in the `sandbox=true` case).
Also adds a test case for this.

Having a narHash doesn't mean that we have the other attributes
returned by the fetcher (such as lastModified or rev). For instance,

(does not print a "Last modified")
The latter only happens if the store path already exists or is
substitutable, which made this impure behaviour unpredictable.
Fixes#10601.
This also reworks the Mercurial fetcher (which was still using the
old cache interface) to have two distinct cache mappings:
* A ref-to-rev mapping, which is store-independent.
* A rev-to-store-path mapping.
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10456 fixed the addition of symlink
store paths to the sandbox, but also made it so that the hardcoded
sandbox paths (like `/etc/hosts`) were now bind-mounted without
following the possible symlinks. This made these files unreadable if
there were symlinks (because the sandbox would now contain a symlink to
an unreachable file rather than the underlying file).
In particular, this broke FOD derivations on NixOS as `/etc/hosts` is a
symlink there.
Fix that by canonicalizing all these hardcoded sandbox paths before
adding them to the sandbox.
This requires moving resolveSymlinks() into SourceAccessor. Also, it
requires LocalStoreAccessor::maybeLstat() to work on parents of the
store (to avoid an error like "/nix is not in the store").
Fixes#10375.
Instead of relying on setup script to set output variables when
structured attributes are enabled, iterate over the values of an
outputs associative array.

Now that we have a few things identifying content address methods by
name, we should be consistent about it.
Move up the `parseHashAlgoOpt` for tidiness too.

This probably snuck in in a refactor using truthiness or so. The
trustedness flag was having the optional fullness checked, rather than
the actual contained trust level.
Also adds some tests.

When querying all paths in a binary cache store, the path's representation
is `<hash>-x` (where `x` is the value of `MissingName`) because the .narinfo
filenames only contain the hash.
Before cc46ea1630 this worked correctly,
because the entire path info was read and the path from this
representation was printed, i.e. in the form `<hash>-<name>`. Since then
however, the direct result from `queryAllValidPaths()` was used as `path`.
Added a regression test to make sure the behavior remains correct.
I realized it was checking NAR hashes before of added objects, which
makes little sense --- we don't really care about ancillary NAR hashes.
Now, the bottom `nix store add` tests compare the CA field with a git
hash to hashes calculated by Git. This matches top `nix hash path` ones
in using git as a source of truth.
* Add regression test
* Fix 'no repo' test so it doesn't succeed if the data is still in cache
* Use git_revparse_single inside git-utils instead of reimplementing the same logic.
Currently there isn't a convenient way to check for multiline output. In
addition, these outputs will easily change and having a diff between the
expected an the actual output upon failures is convenient.
this needs a string comparison because there seems to be no other way to
get that information out of bison. usually the location info is going to
be correct (pointing at a bad token), but since EOF isn't a token as
such it'll be wrong in that this case.
this hasn't shown up much so far because a single line ending *is* a
token, so any file formatted in the usual manner (ie, ending in a line
ending) would have its EOF position reported correctly.
the parser treats a plain \r as a newline, error reports do not. this
can lead to interesting divergences if anything makes use of this
feature, with error reports pointing to wrong locations in the input (or
even outside the input altogether).
previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.
this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.
we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for
formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would
otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as
useful as one might expect.
the parser modifies its inputs, which means that sharing them between
the error context reporting system and the parser itself can confuse the
reporting system. usually this led to early truncation of error context
reports which, while not dangerous, can be quite confusing.
Directly fail if a flakeref points to something that isn't a directory
instead of falling back to the logic of trying to look up the hierarchy
to find a valid flake root.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).
When a file conflict arises during a package install a suggestion is
made to remove the old entry. This was previously done using the
installable URLs of the old entry. These URLs are quite verbose and
often do not equal the URL of the existing entry.
This change uses the recently introduced profile entry name for the
suggestion, resulting in a simpler output.
The improvement is easily seen in the change to the functional test.
- `nix store add` supports text hashing
With functional test ensuring it matches `builtins.toFile`.
- Factored-out flags for both commands
- Move all common reusable flags to `libcmd`
- They are not part of the *definition* of the CLI infra, just a usag
of it.
- The `libstore` flag couldn't go in `args.hh` in libutil anyways,
would be awkward for it to live alone
- Shuffle around `Cmd*` hierarchy so flags for deprecated commands don't
end up on the new ones
It's better to just check whether the input has all the attributes
needed to consider itself locked (e.g. whether a Git input has an
'rev' attribute).
Also, the 'locked' field was actually incorrect for Git inputs: it
would be set to true even for dirty worktrees. As a result, we got
away with using fetchTree() internally even though fetchTree()
requires a locked input in pure mode. In particular, this allowed
'--override-input' to work by accident.
The fix is to pass a set of "overrides" to call-flake.nix for all the
unlocked inputs (i.e. the top-level flake and any --override-inputs).
This fixes warnings like
warning: Ignoring setting 'auto-allocate-uids' because experimental feature 'auto-allocate-uids' is not enabled
warning: Ignoring setting 'impure-env' because experimental feature 'configurable-impure-env' is not enabled
when using the daemon and the user didn't actually set those settings.
Note: this also hides those settings from `nix config show`, but that
seems a good thing.
Commit 83c067c0fa changed `builtins.pathExists`
to resolve symlinks before checking for existence. Consequently, if the path
refers to a symlink itself, existence of the target of the symlink (instead of
the symlink itself) was checked. Restore the previous behavior by skipping
symlink resolution in the last component.
for plain inherits this is really just a stylistic choice, but for
inherit-from it actually fixes an exponential size increase problem
during expr printing (as may happen during assertion failure reporting,
on during duplicate attr detection in the parser)
this also has the effect of sorting let bindings lexicographically
rather than by symbol creation order as was previously done, giving a
better canonicalization in the process.
Pretty-print values in the REPL by printing each item in a list or
attrset on a separate line. When possible, single-item lists and
attrsets are printed on one line, as long as they don't contain a nested
list, attrset, or thunk.
Before:
```
{ attrs = { a = { b = { c = { }; }; }; }; list = [ 1 ]; list' = [ 1 2 3 ]; }
```
After:
```
{
attrs = {
a = {
b = {
c = { };
};
};
};
list = [ 1 ];
list' = [
1
2
3
];
}
```
Some tools which consume the "nix print-dev-env" rc script (such as
"nix-direnv") are sensitive to the use of unbound variables. They use
"set -u".
The "nix print-dev-env" rc script initially unsets "shellHook", then
loads variables from the derivation, and then evaluates "shellHook".
However, most derivations don't have a "shellHook" attribute.
So users get the error "shellHook: unbound variable". This can be
demonstrated with the command:
nix print-dev-env nixpkgs#hello | bash -u
This commit changes the rc script to provide an empty fallback value
for the "shellHook" variable.
Closes: #7951#8253
While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.
Use `diff --color=always` to print colored output for language test
failures. I've also flipped the arguments so that expected lines missing
from the actual output will be marked with a red `-` and additional
lines found in the actual output will be marked with a green `+`.
Previously it was the other way around, which was very confusing.
This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message
to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging
by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced
from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.
Do this if we want to do `--hash-algo` everywhere, and not `--algo` for
hash commands.
The new `nix hash convert` is updated. Deprecated new CLI commands are
left as-is (`nix hash path` needs to be redone and is also left as-is).
Otherwise we get a stray `tests/functional/result`, which can cause
spurious failures later.
(I got a failure because the test temp dir effecting the store dir
changed. This caused a test later because Nix didn't want to remove the
old `result` because it wasn't pointing inside the new Nix store.)
Also fingerprint and some preparatory improvements.
Testing is still not up to scratch because lots of logic is duplicated
between the workdir and commit cases.
Enabled for fetchGit, which historically had this behavior,
among other behaviors we do not want in fetchGit.
fetchTree disables this parameter by default. It can choose the
simpler behavior, as it is still experimental.
I am not confident that the filtering implementation is future
proof. It should reuse a source filtering wrapper, which I believe
Eelco has already written, but not merged yet.
The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged.
I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate
--eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).
This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.
Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)
Please read the tests for example output.
Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
`builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.
This fixes a segfault on infinite function call recursion (rather than
infinite thunk recursion) by tracking the function call depth in
`EvalState`.
Additionally, to avoid printing extremely long stack traces, stack
frames are now deduplicated, with a `(19997 duplicate traces omitted)`
message. This should only really be triggered in infinite recursion
scenarios.

Previously, IFDs would be built within the eval store, even though one
is typically using `--eval-store` precisely to *avoid* local builds.
Because the resulting Nix expression must be copied back to the eval
store in order to be imported, this requires the eval store to trust
the build store's signatures.
The profile manifest is now an object keyed on the name returned by
getNameFromURL() at installation time, instead of an array. This
ensures that the names of profile elements don't change when other
elements are added/removed.

This is because `mktemp` returns a path like
`/var/folders/z5/fclwwdms3r1gq4k4p3pkvvc00000gn/T/tmp.qDY24l6bIM`,
where `/var` is a symlink to `/private/var`.
Then, we attempt to use that path as a `builder`, which errors because
symlinks are impure or whatever.
Anyways, we can fix this by using `realpath "$(mktemp)"` instead of
`mktemp` directly.
NB: This error doesn't seem to happen when I run the tests through `nix
flake check`. I'm not sure if Nix does something to `TMP` in that case.
As part of the CLI stabilization effort, the last remaining checkbox (at
the moment) for `nix daemon` is that it "needs testing". This implements
the proposal of using `nix daemon` in place of `nix-daemon` in the test
suite.
This keeps hint messages, source location information, and source code
snippets grouped together, while making stack traces shorter (so that
more stack frames can be viewed on the same terminal).

It works with both `ssh://` and `ssh-ng://` now since #9600 (and
`ssh-ng:// didn't work before that).
Also, by making the two tests share code, we nudge ourselves towards
making sure there is feature parity.
I don't love the way this code looks. There are two larger problems:
- eval, build/scratch, destination stores (#5025) should have different
types to reflect the fact that they are used for different purposes
and those purposes correspond to different operations. It should be
impossible to "use the wrong store" in my cases.
- Since drvs can end up in both the eval and build/scratch store, we
should have some sort of union/layered store (not on the file sytem
level, just conceptual level) that allows accessing both. This would
get rid of the ugly "check both" boilerplate in this PR.
Still, it might be better to land this now / soon after minimal cleanup,
so we have a concrete idea of what problem better abstractions are
supposed to solve.
* Print the value in `error: cannot coerce` messages
This extends the `error: cannot coerce a TYPE to a string` message
to print the value that could not be coerced. This helps with debugging
by making it easier to track down where the value is being produced
from, especially in errors with deep or unhelpful stack traces.
