This seems to be the way to do it now, even though I can't run them
without setting at least one env var.
I'll only fix shellcheck for now. Don't shoot the messenger.
It isn't quite clear to me why the previous commit masked this problem,
but I'm glad shellcheck has an effect or more effect now.
This fixes dynamic derivations, reverting #9081.
I believe that this time around, #9052 is fixed. When I first rebased
this, tests were failing (which wasn't the case before). The cause of
those test failures were due to the crude job in which the outer goal
tried to exit with the inner goal's status.
Now, that error handling has been reworked to be more faithful. The exit
exit status and exception of the inner goal is returned by the outer
goal. The exception was what was causing the test failures, but I
believe it was not having the right error code (there is more than one
for failure) that caused #9081.
The only cost of doing things the "right way" was that I had to
introduce a hacky `preserveException` boolean. I don't like this, but,
then again, none of us like anything about how the scheduler works.
Issue #11927 is still there to clean everything up, subsuming the need
for any `preserveException` because I doubt we will be fishing
information out of state machines like this at all.
This reverts commit 8440afbed7.

This allows a flake to specify that it needs Git submodules to be
enabled (or disabled, if we ever change the default) on the top-level
flake. This requires the input to be refetched, but since the first
fetch is lazy, this shouldn't be expensive.
Currently the only attribute allowed by `inputs.self` is `submodules`,
but more can be added in the future (e.g. a `lazy` attribute to opt in
to lazy tree behaviour).
Fixes#5312, #9842.
Fixes messages like 'copying /tmp/repo/tmp/repo to the store'. The
PosixSourceAccessor already sets the prefix. Setting the prefix twice
shouldn't be a problem, but GitRepoImpl::getAccessor() returns a
wrapped accessor so it's not actually idempotent.
It seems that `meson test --print-errorlogs` only captures stderr,
so this makes it forward the logs as intended.
We might want to redirect stdout in our common setup script instead.
Not sure what the intent was expecting help.sh to fail in the main suite, but it caused `meson test` to fail inside a `nix develop` shell:
$ meson test help --print-errorlogs
ninja: Entering directory `/home/eelco/Dev/nix-master/build'
1/1 nix-functional-tests:main / help UNEXPECTEDPASS 4.02s
nix-env can read priorities from a derivations meta attributes, but this
only works when installing a nix expression.
nix-env can also install bare store paths, however meta attributes are
not readable in that case. This means that a store path can not be
installed with a specific priority.
Some cases where it is advantageous to install a store path: a remote
host following a `nix copy`, or any time you want to save some
evaluation time and happen to already know the store path.
This PR addresses this shortcoming by adding a --priority flag to
nix-env --install.
Since ff8e2fe84e, 'path:' URLs on the
CLI are interpreted as relative to the current directory of the user,
not the path of the flake we're overriding.
This allows writing lock files with dirty inputs, so long as they have
a NAR hash. (Currently they always have a NAR hash, but with lazy
trees that may not always be the case.)
Generally dirty locks are bad for reproducibility (we can detect if
the dirty input has changed, but we have no way to fetch it except
substitution). Hence we don't allow them by default.
Fixes#11181.
Commands like `nix flake metadata '.?submodules=1'` ignored the query
part of the URL, while `nix build '.?submodules=1#foo'` did work
correctly because of the presence of the fragment part.
I'd messed up a rebase in my previous iteration, causing `weakly_canonical` to reappear,
but not trigger a test failure.
These two functions behave similarly when the argument is a path that points to a broken
symlink. `weakly_canonical` would not resolve it because the target doesn't exist, and
`makeParentCanonical` would not resolve it, because it never resolves the final path
element.
This new test case now also tests a valid symlink, "differentiating" the two.
The experimental `nix eval` command already supports a `--raw` flag.
This commit implements the same flag for the stable nix-instantiate command.
Until now instructions and scripts that didn't want to rely on experimental
features had to use workarounds such as:
nix-instantiate --eval <something> | tr -d \"
(which also undesirably also removes double quotation marks within the string), or
nix-instantiate --eval <something> | jq -j
(which undesirably depends on another package).
