E.g. in a derivation attribute `foo = ./bar`, if ./bar is a symlink,
we should copy the symlink to the store, not its target. This restores
the behaviour of Nix <= 2.19.
These don't need to evaluate anything (except for the flake metadata
in flake.nix) so we can make these commands operate on lazy trees
without risk of any semantic change in the evaluator.
However, `nix flake metadata` now no longer prints the store path,
which is a breaking change (but unavoidable if we want lazy trees).
"content-address*ed*" derivation is misleading because all derivations
are *themselves* content-addressed. What may or may not be
content-addressed is not derivation itself, but the *output* of the
derivation.
The outputs are not *part* of the derivation (for then the derivation
wouldn't be complete before we built it) but rather separate entities
produced by the derivation.
"content-adddress*ed*" is not correctly because it can only describe
what the derivation *is*, and that is not what we are trying to do.
"content-address*ing*" is correct because it describes what the
derivation *does* --- it produces content-addressed data.
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 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'
