I've run into this quite a few times when working with characterization test
infra. It would print an invalid command:
_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1 meson test main/lang
Which you'd then proceed to run and it would fail. This commit makes it
be honest about the command you need to run:
_NIX_TEST_ACCEPT=1 meson test --suite main lang
`allowedReferences` and friends can, in addition to supporting store
paths (and placeholders, but because those will be rewritten to store
paths), they also support to refering to other outputs in the derivation
by name.
We update the tests in order to cover for that.
(While we are at it, also introduce some scratch variables for paths and
placeholders to make the C++ literalsf for this test more concise.)
Show which element(s) are involved at each error point:
- When an element is missing the "key" attribute, show the element
- When an element is not an attribute set, show the element
- When comparing keys fails, show both elements being compared
- When calling operator fails, show which element was being processed
This provides concrete context using ValuePrinter with errorPrintOptions.
Note: errorPrintOptions uses maxDepth=10 by default, which may print
quite deeply nested structures in error messages. This could potentially
be overwhelming, but follows the existing default for error contexts.
The old string format is a holdover from the pre JSON days. It is not
friendly to users who need to get the information out of it.
Also introduce the sort of versioning we have for derivation for this
format too.
- Use canonical content address JSON format for floating content
addressed derivation outputs
This keeps it more consistent.
- Reorganize inputs into nested structure (`inputs.srcs` and
`inputs.drvs`)
This will allow for an easier to use, but less compact, alternative
where `srcs` is just a list of derived paths.
It also allows for other experiments for derivations with a different
input structure, as I suspect will be needed for secure build traces.
This has already been implemented in 1e709554d5
as a side-effect of mounting the accessors in storeFS. Let's test this so it
doesn't regress.

When Nix's SQLite narinfo cache indicates a NAR exists, but the NAR
has been garbage collected from the binary cache, Nix displays error
messages even though the operation succeeds via fallback. This is
misleading because the cached narinfo is simply outdated.
This changes SubstituteGone exceptions to produce warnings instead of
errors, accurately reflecting that this is an expected cache coherency
issue, not an actual failure.

Nix attempts to set the stack size to 64 MB during initialization, which is
required for the repl tests to run successfully. Skip the tests on systems
where the hard stack limit is less than this value rather than failing.
This is necessary to fix nix-everything-llvm.
The problem here is that nix-cli is taken from the previous
stage that is built with libstdc++, but this derivation builds
plugins with libc++ and the plugin load fails miserably.
Turns out there's a much better API for this that doesn't have the
footguns of the previous method.
isLegalRefName is somewhat of a misnomer, since it's mainly used to
validate user inputs that can be either references, branch names,
psedorefs or tags.
Resolve the derivation before creating a building goal, in a context
where we know what output(s) we want. That way we have a chance just to
download the outputs we want.

CURL is not very strict about validation of URLs passed to it. We
should reflect this in our handling of URLs that we get from the user
in <nix/fetchurl.nix> or builtins.fetchurl. ValidURL was an attempt to
rectify this, but it turned out to be too strict. The only good way to
resolve this is to pass (in some cases) the user-provided string verbatim
to CURL. Other usages in libfetchers still benefit from using structured
ParsedURL and validation though.
nix store prefetch-file --name foo 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/big.js@^5.2.2'
error: 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/big.js@^5.2.2' is not a valid URL: leftover
Instead of specifying env variables all the time
we can instead embed the __asan_default_options symbol
in all executables / shared objects. This reduces code
duplication.
This barfed with
error: [json.exception.type_error.302] type must be string, but is array
on `nix build github:malt3/bazel-env#bazel-env` because it has a `exportReferencesGraph` with a value like `["string",...["string"]]`.
Best I can tell this was never supposed to be exposed to the user
and has been this way since 2.19.
2.18 did not expose this file to the user:
nix run nix/2.18-maintenance -- eval --expr "import <nix/derivation-internal.nix>"
error: getting status of '/__corepkgs__/derivation-internal.nix': No such file or directory
