2023-07-31toJSON: Add attribute path to traceRobert Hensing
2023-07-25Add `parseFlakeRef` and `flakeRefToString` builtins (#8670)Alex Ameen
Over the last year or so I've run into several use cases where I need to parse and/or serialize URLs for use by `builtins.fetchTree` or `builtins.getFlake`, largely in order to produce _lockfile-like_ files for lang2nix frameworks or tools which use `nix` internally to drive builds. I've gone through the painstaking process of emulating `nix::FlakeRef::fromAttrs` and `nix::parseFlakeRef` several times with mixed success; but these are difficult to create and even harder to maintain if I hope to stay aligned with changes to the real parser/serializer. I understand why adding new `builtins` isn't something we want to do flagrantly. I'm recommending this addition simply because I keep encountering use cases where I need to parse/serialize these URIs in `nix` expressions, and I want a reliable solution.

Will need to do subclass-specific implementations in the next commit. This isn't because there will be multiple variations of the daemon protocol (whew!) but because different clients pick and choose different parts to use.

This is because `StoreConfig` also uses it.

2023-07-20Give `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap` an `evalStore` parameterJohn Ericson
This makes it more useful. In general, the derivation will be in one store, and the realisation info is in another. This also helps us avoid duplication. See how `resolveDerivedPath` is now simpler because it uses `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`. In #8369 we get more flavors of derived path, and need more code to resolve them all, and this problem only gets worse. The fact that we need a new method to deal with the multiple dispatch is unfortunate, but this generally relates to the fact that `Store` is a sub-par interface, too bulky/unwieldy and conflating separate concerns. Solving that is out of scope of this PR. This is part of the RFC 92 work. See tracking issue #6316

this is a how-to guide which should not be in the reference manual. it also refers to `nix-env`, which should not be the first thing readers of the reference manual encounter, as it behaves very differently in spirit from the rest of Nix. slightly reword the documentation to be more concise and informative.

2023-07-18Introduce notion of a test group, use for CA testsJohn Ericson
Grouping our tests should make it easier to understand the intent than one long poorly-arranged list. It also is convenient for running just the tests for a specific component when working on that component. We need at least one test group so this isn't dead code; I decided to collect the tests for the `ca-derivations` and `dynamic-derivations` experimental features in groups. Do ```bash make ca.test-group -jN ``` and ```bash make dyn-drv.test-group -jN ``` to try running just them. I originally did this as part of #8397 for being able to just the local overlay store alone. I am PRing it separately now so we can separate general infra from new features.

Test nested sandboxing, and make nicer error
2023-07-14Test nested sandboxing, and make nicer errorJohn Ericson
We were bedeviled by sandboxing issues when working on the layered store. The problem ended up being that when we have nested nix builds, and the inner store is inside the build dir (e.g. store is `/build/nix-test/$name/store`, build dir is `/build`) bind mounts clobber each other and store paths cannot be found. After thoroughly cleaning up `local-derivation-goal.cc`, we might be able to make that work. But that is a lot of work. For now, we just fail earlier with a proper error message. Finally, test this: nested sandboxing without the problematic store dir should work, and with should fail with the expected error message.
