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.

Progress on #9342

The basic idea here is to separate a few intertwined notions:
1. Not all "run bash tests" are "install tests"
2. Not all "run bash tests" use `tests/functional/init.sh`, or any
pre-test initialization at all.
This will used in the next commit when we have a test that check unit
test golden master data.
Also, move our custom `PS4` from the test to the test runner, as it is
part of how we want to display the tests, not the test themselves.

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.
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.
This adds simple tests of the commit signature verification mechanism of
fetchGit and its flake input wrapper.
OpenSSH is added to the build dependencies since it's needed to create
a key when testing the functionality. It is neither a built- nor a
runtime dependency.
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.
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.

- Remove some stray saved error messages that didn't correspond to any
test, because they were renamed in
d11faa01b5.
- Need `--eval` in test failure test in order to get in "read-only" mode
where we don't try to write to the store. (The other tests already do
this.)
- Need `--strict` so top-level attribute sets are still forced, like
they are without `--eval`.
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.
Additionally this skipping of the building is reimplemented to be a bit
more robust and use the same idioms as the functionality for skipping
the tests. In particular, it will now work even if the source files
exist, so we can do this during development too.
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/
```
