2024-07-01tree-wide: unify progress bar inactive and paused statesAlois Wohlschlager
Previously, the progress bar had two subtly different states in which the bar would not actually render, both with their own shortcomings: inactive (which was irreversible) and paused (reversible, but swallowing logs). Furthermore, there was no way of resetting the statistics, so a very bad solution was implemented (243c0f18dae2a08ea0e46f7ff33277c63f7506d7) that would create a new logger for each line of the repl, leaking the previous one and discarding the value of printBuildLogs. Finally, if stderr was not attached to a TTY, the update thread was started even though the logger was not active, violating the invariant required by the destructor (which is not observed because the logger is leaked). In this commit, the two aforementioned states are unified into a single one, which can be exited again, correctly upholds the invariant that the update thread is only running while the progress bar is active, and does not swallow logs. The latter change in behavior is not expected to be a problems in the rare cases where the paused state was used before, since other loggers (like the simple one) don't exhibit it anyway. The startProgressBar/stopProgressBar API is removed due to being a footgun, and a new method for properly resetting the progress is added.

2024-06-30libexpr/flake: allow automatic rejection of configuration options from flakesAlois Wohlschlager
The `allow-flake-configuration` option allows the user to control whether to accept configuration options supplied by flakes. Unfortunately, setting this to false really meant "ask each time" (with an option to remember the choice for each specific option encountered). Let no mean no, and introduce (and default to) a separate value for the "ask each time" behaviour. Co-Authored-By: Jade Lovelace <lix@jade.fyi> Change-Id: I7ccd67a95bfc92cffc1ebdc972d243f5191cc1b4

2024-06-26libmain: don't print empty lineseldritch horrors
this most notably affects `nix eval`: if there is no progress bar to be shown and no activities going on we should not print anything at all. a progress bar with no activities would print a bunch of terminal escapes *and a space*, which is not helpful in simple cases like nix eval -E 1. notably this does *not* affect nix eval called on non-terminal outputs, but it is slightly confusing nevertheless (and not difficult to avoid). fixes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/424 Change-Id: Iee793c79ba5a485d6606e0d292ed2eae6dfb7216

2024-06-25libexpr: rewrite the parser with pegtl instead of flex/bisoneldritch horrors
this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%. this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot) and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later. test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising: - 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations - 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations - equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations (excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens) more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

Code causing the problem in n-e-j, when invoked with `nix-eval-jobs --flake '.#hydraJobs'`: ``` n-e-j/tests/assets » ../../build/src/nix-eval-jobs --meta --workers 1 --flake .#hydraJobs warning: unknown setting 'trusted-users' warning: `--gc-roots-dir' not specified error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir' error: worker error: error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir' ``` ``` nix::Value *vRoot = [&]() { if (args.flake) { auto [flakeRef, fragment, outputSpec] = nix::parseFlakeRefWithFragmentAndExtendedOutputsSpec( args.releaseExpr, nix::absPath(".")); nix::InstallableFlake flake{ {}, state, std::move(flakeRef), fragment, outputSpec, {}, {}, args.lockFlags}; return flake.toValue(*state).first; } else { return releaseExprTopLevelValue(*state, autoArgs, args); } }(); ``` Inspecting the program behaviour reveals that `dir` was in fact set in the URL going into the fetcher.

2024-06-22libfetchers: make attribute / URL query handling consistentMaximilian Bosch
The original idea was to fix lix#174, but for a user friendly solution, I figured that we'd need more consistency: * Invalid query params will cause an error, just like invalid attributes. This has the following two consequences: * The `?dir=`-param from flakes will be removed before the URL to be fetched is passed to libfetchers. * The tarball fetcher doesn't allow URLs with custom query params anymore. I think this was questionable anyways given that an arbitrary set of query params was silently removed from the URL you wanted to fetch. The correct way is to use an attribute-set with a key `url` that contains the tarball URL to fetch. * Same for the git & mercurial fetchers: in that case it doesn't even matter though: both fetchers added unused query params to the URL that's passed from the input scheme to the fetcher (`url2` in the code). It turns out that this was never used since the query parameters were erased again in `getActualUrl`. * Validation happens for both attributes and URLs. Previously, a lot of fetchers validated e.g. refs/revs only when specified in a URL and the validity of attribute names only in `inputFromAttrs`. Now, all the validation is done in `inputFromAttrs` and `inputFromURL` constructs attributes that will be passed to `inputFromAttrs`. * Accept all attributes as URL query parameters. That also includes lesser used ones such as `narHash`. And "output" attributes like `lastModified`: these could be declared already when declaring inputs as attribute rather than URL. Now the behavior is at least consistent. Personally, I think we should differentiate in the future between "fetched input" (basically the attr-set that ends up in the lock-file) and "unfetched input" earlier: both inputFrom{Attrs,URL} entrypoints are probably OK for unfetched inputs, but for locked/fetched inputs a custom entrypoint should be used. Then, the current entrypoints wouldn't have to allow these attributes anymore. Change-Id: I1be1992249f7af8287cfc37891ab505ddaa2e8cd
