This is useful for determining quickly which substituters to query.
An alternative would be for users to invoke the narinfo cache db directly,
so why do we need this change?
- It is easier to use. I believe Nix itself should also use it.
- This way, the narinfo cache db remains an implementation detail.
- Callers get to use the in-memory cache as well.
The data was (accidentally?) copied into a std::string,
even though the string is immediately converted into a std::string_view.
The code has been changed to construct a std::string_view directly,
such that one copy less happens.
Most of this is a `catch SysError` -> `catch SystemError` sed. This
is a rather pure-churn change I would like to get out of the way. **The
intersting part is `src/libutil/error.hh`.**
On Unix, we will only throw the `SysError` concrete class, which has
the same constructors that `SystemError` used to have.
On Windows, we will throw `WinError` *and* `SysError`. `WinError`
(which will be created in a later PR), will use a `DWORD` instead of
`int` error value, and `GetLastError()`, which is the Windows equivalent
of the `errno` machinery. Windows will *also* use `SysError` because
Window's "libc" (MSVCRT) implements the POSIX interface, and we use it
too.
As the docs describe, while we *throw* one of the 3 choices above (2
concrete classes or the alias), we should always *catch* `SystemError`.
This ensures no matter how the implementation changes for Windows (e.g.
between `SysError` and `WinError`) the catching logic stays the same
and stays correct.

Also move `SourcePath` into `libutil`.
These changes allow `error.hh` and `error.cc` to access source path and
position information, which we can use to produce better error messages
(for example, we could consider omitting filenames when two or more
consecutive stack frames originate from the same file).
This sets up infrastructure in libutil to allow for signing other than
by a secret key in memory. #9076 uses this to implement remote signing.
(Split from that PR to allow reviewing in smaller chunks.)

a bunch of derivation strings contain no escape sequences. we can
optimize for this fact by first scanning for the end of a derivation

`eval-system` option overrides just the value of `builtins.currentSystem`.
This is more useful than overriding `system` since you can build these
derivations on remote builders which can work on the given system.

I wrote the `configure.ac` wrong, and so we just got no builds
supporting ACLs.
Also, it needs to be more precise because Darwin puts other stuff in
that same header, evidently.
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.
Below the comment added by this commit is a much longer comment
followed by a trust check, both of which have confused me on at
least two occasions. I figured it out once, forgot it, then had to
ask @Ericson2314 to explain it, at which point I understood it
again. I think this might confuse other people too, or maybe I will
just forget it a third time. So let's add a comment.
Farther down in the function is the following check:
```
if (!(drvType.isCA() || trusted))
throw Error("you are not privileged to build input-addressed derivations");
```
This seems really strange at first. A key property of Nix is that
you can compute the outpath of a derivation using the derivation
(and its references-closure) without trusting anybody!
The missing insight is that at this point in the code the builder
doesn't necessarily have the references-closure of the derivation
being built, and therefore needs to trust that the derivation's
outPath is honest. It's incredibly easy to overlook this, because
the only difference between these two cases is which of these
identically-named functions we used:
- `readDerivation(Source,Store)`
- `Store::readDerivation()`
These functions have different trust models (except in the special
case where the first function is used on the local store). We
should call the reader's attention to this fact.

In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6134#issuecomment-1079199888,
@thuffschmitt proposed exposing `LegacySSHStore` in Nix for
deduplication with Hydra, at least temporarily. I think that is a good
idea.
Note that the diff will look bad unless one ignores whitespace! Also try
this locally:
```shell-session
git diff --ignore-all-space HEAD^:src/libstore/legacy-ssh-store.cc HEAD:src/libstore/legacy-ssh-store.cc
git diff --ignore-all-space HEAD^:src/libstore/legacy-ssh-store.cc HEAD:src/libstore/legacy-ssh-store.hh
```
This is needed for building CA deriations with a src store / dest store
split. In particular it is needed for Hydra.
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/838 currently puts realizations,
and thus build outputs, in the local store, but it should not.
In the process, partially undo e89b5bd0bf
in that the ancient < 2.4 version is now supported again by the
serializer again. `LegacySSHStore`, instead of also asserting that the
version is at least 4, just checks that `narHash` is set.
This allows us to better test the serializer in isolation for both
versions (< 4 and >= 4).
- remove prose for the default value, which is shown programmatically
- add note on how this relates to `cores`
- add link to mentioned derivation attribute
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.
The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.
This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

The problem was that f880469173 forgot
that the `#include <sys/xattr.h>` was guarded by an `#ifdef __linux__`.
However, the build failure was only on FreeBSD --- turns out other
platforms have this header too!
The fix therefore uses a new configure check so we properly clear ACLs
on more platforms.
`installcheck` doesn't yet work, but the rest of the build can now
happen mostly inside a separate build directory.
Progress on #9342
Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>
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.
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.
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`
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.

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`.
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.

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.

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.
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
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.
To start, it is just a clone of the common protocol. But now that we
have the separate protocol implementations, we can add versioning
information without the versions of one protocol leaking into another.
Using the infrastructure from the previous commit, we don't have to
duplicate code for shared behavior.
Motivation: No more perverse incentives. [0] did some awkward things
because the serialisers did not store the version. I don't want anyone
making changes to be pushed towards keeping the serialization logic with
the core data types just because it's easier or the alternative is
tedious.
The actual versioning of the Worker and Serve protocol serialisers
(Common remains unversioned as the underlying mini-protocols are not
versioned) will happen in subsequent commits / PRs.

Copy the relevant tests to ensure the new interfaces added in the last
commit are tested.
Perhaps I should try to deduplicat these tests some more. However its
not clear how to do that outside of a big ugly C++ macro.
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/main/docs/advanced.md has some
stuff but it is cumbersome and I didn't figure it out yet.
This is done in a separate commit in order to be sure that the first
commit really didn't change any behavior; if we changed the
implementation and the tests at once, it would be harder to tell whether
or not some behavioral changes slipped in what is supposed to be a "pure
refactor".

This introduces some shared infrastructure for our notion of protocols.
We can then define multiple protocols in terms of that notion.
We an also express how particular protocols depend on each other.
For example, we can define a common protocol and a worker protocol,
where the second depends on the first in terms of the data types it can
read and write.
The "serve" protocol can just use the common one for now, but will
eventually need its own machinary just like the worker protocol for
version-aware serialisers
I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests
- Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
clear.
- Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
of the files.
With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests
functional/
installer/
nixos/
```
This has been the behaviour before Nix 2.4. It was dropped in a rewrite
in 759947bf72, allowing the creation of
store paths that aren't considered valid by older Nix versions or other
Nix tooling.
Nix 2.4 didn't ship in NixOS until 22.05, and stdenv.mkDerivation in
nixpkgs drops leading periods since April 2022, so it's unlikely anyone
is relying on the current lax behaviour.
Closes#9091.

This was somewhat of a false alarm. The problem was not that the
protocol implementation actually failed to round trip, but that two of
the fields were ignored entirely --- not serialized and deserialized at
all.
For reference, those fields were added in
fa68eb367e.
This reverts commit 5e3986f59c. This
un-implements RFC 92 but fixes the critical bug #9052 which many people
are hitting. This is a decent stop-gap until a minimal reproduction of
that bug is found and a proper fix can be made.
Mostly fixed#9052, but I would like to leave that issue open until we
have a regression test, so I can then properly fix the bug (unbreaking
RFC 92) later.

Without this change, nix build processes will not drop the locks for derivation goals
which have already been built by another process when the current process gets
round to building them. This means the locks are held until the process
terminates.
If there are other nix build processes in a similar state, they will also try to
acquire the same locks when they try to build the same derivation, and so will
wait until the lock holder terminates (which might be a very long time if it has
a lot to build). In some pathological cases, those processes might be holding
their own locks on other derivations due to the same issue, and this can lead to
deadlock.
Resolves#6468
The Derivation parser and old ATerm unfortunately leaves few ways to get
nice errors when an old version of Nix encounters a new version of the
format. The most likely scenario for this to occur is with a new client
making a derivation that the old daemon it is communicating with cannot
understand.
The extensions we just created for dynamic derivation deps will add a
version field, solving the problem going forward, but there is still the
issue of what to do about old versions of Nix up to now.
The solution here is to carefully catch the bad error from the daemon
that is likely to indicate this problem, and add some extra context to
it.
There is another "Ugly backwards compatibility hack" in
`remote-store.cc` that also works by transforming an error.

We use the same nested map representation we used for goals, again in
order to save space. We might someday want to combine with `inputDrvs`,
by doing `V = bool` instead of `V = std::set<OutputName>`, but we are
not doing that yet for sake of a smaller diff.
The ATerm format for Derivations also needs to be extended, in addition
to the in-memory format. To accomodate this, we added a new basic
versioning scheme, so old versions of Nix will get nice errors. (And
going forward, if the ATerm format changes again the errors will be even
better.)
`parsedStrings`, an internal function used as part of parsing
derivations in A-Term format, used to consume the final `]` but expect
the initial `[` to already be consumed. This made for what looked like
unbalanced brackets at callsites, which was confusing. Now it consumes
both which is hopefully less confusing.
As part of testing, we also created a unit test for the A-Term format for
regular non-experimental derivations too.

- Don't assert: Derivation ATerms are not necessarily produced by Nix,
and parsers should always throw graceful errors
- Improve error message from `static void except(..)`, shows both what
we expected and what we actually got.
The intention is that we backport it, and then hopefully a few people
might get slightly better errors if they try out new experimental drv
files (for RFC 92) with an old version of Nix.
Continue with the characterization testing idioms begun in

To avoid dealing with an optional `drvPath` (because we might not know
it yet) everywhere, make an `CreateDerivationAndRealiseGoal`. This goal
just builds/substitutes the derivation file, and then kicks of a build
for that obtained derivation; in other words it does the chaining of
goals when the drv file is missing (as can already be the case) or
computed (new case).
This also means the `getDerivation` state can be removed from
`DerivationGoal`, which makes the `BasicDerivation` / in memory case and
`Derivation` / drv file file case closer together.
The map type is factored out for clarity, and because we will soon hvae
a second use for it (`Derivation` itself).

We're about to split up `DerivationGoal` a bit. At that point
`makeDerivationGoal` will mean something more specific than it does
today. (Perhaps a future rename will make this clearer.)
On the other hand, the more public `Worker::makeGoal` function will
continue to work exactly as before. So by moving some call sites to use
that instead, we preemptively avoid issues in the next step.
Types converted:
- `NixStringContextElem`
- `OutputsSpec`
- `ExtendedOutputsSpec`
- `DerivationOutput`
- `DerivationType`
Existing ones mostly conforming the pattern cleaned up:
- `ContentAddressMethod`
- `ContentAddressWithReferences`
The `DerivationGoal::derivationType` field had a bogus initialization,
now caught, so I made it `std::optional`. I think #8829 can make it
non-optional again because it will ensure we always have the derivation
when we construct a `DerivationGoal`.
See that issue (#7479) for details on the general goal.
`git grep 'Raw::Raw'` indicates the two types I didn't yet convert
`DerivedPath` and `BuiltPath` (and their `Single` variants) . This is
because @roberth and I (can't find issue right now...) plan on reworking
them somewhat, so I didn't want to churn them more just yet.

`EvalState::mkSingleDerivedPathString` previously contained its own
inverse (printing, rather than parsing) in order to validate what was
parsed. Now that is pulled out into its own separate function:
`EvalState::coerceToSingleDerivedPath`.
In additional that pulled out logic is deduplicated with
`EvalState::mkOutputString` via `EvalState::mkOutputStringRaw`, which is
itself deduplicated (and generalized) with
`DownstreamPlaceholder::mkOutputStringRaw`.
All these changes make the unit tests simpler.
(We would ideally write more unit tests for `mkSingleDerivedPathString`
`coerceToSingleDerivedPath` directly, but we cannot yet do that because
the IO in reading the store path won't work when the dummy store cannot
hold anything. Someday we'll have a proper in-memory store which will
work for this.)

std::move(state->data) and data.empty() were called in a loop, and
could run with no other threads intervening. Accessing moved objects
is undefined behavior, and could cause a crash.
Virtual methods are no longer valid once the derived destructor has
run. This means the compiler is free to optimize them to be
non-virtual.
Found using clang-tidy
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`:
`foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a
derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`).
To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are
very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or
map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the
rightmost `^`.
`NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse
`SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of
`DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with
`SingleDerivedPath` entirely!
Important note: some JSON formats have changed.
We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them
directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top
imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a
second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not
declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan
everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single
command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

This enables nix to correctly report what will be fetched in the case
that everything is a cache hit.
Note however that if an intermediate build of something which is not
cached could still cause products to end up being substituted if the
intermediate build results in a CA path which is in the cache.
Fixes#8615.
