2024-04-09Print top-level errors normally in `nix repl`Rebecca Turner
Previously, errors while printing values in `nix repl` would be printed in `«error: ...»` brackets rather than displayed normally: ``` nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler «error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate.» ``` Now, errors will be displayed normally if they're emitted at the top-level of an expression: ``` nix-repl> legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.pythonPackages.APScheduler error: … in the condition of the assert statement at /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/lib/customisation.nix:268:17: 267| in commonAttrs // { 268| drvPath = assert condition; drv.drvPath; | ^ 269| outPath = assert condition; drv.outPath; … in the left operand of the OR (||) operator at /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/passthrufun.nix:28:45: 27| if lib.isDerivation value then 28| lib.extendDerivation (valid value || throw "${name} should use `buildPythonPackage` or `toPythonModule` if it is to be part of the Python packages set.") {} value | ^ 29| else (stack trace truncated; use '--show-trace' to show the full trace) error: Package ‘python-2.7.18.7’ in /nix/store/6s0m1qc31zw3l3kq0q4wd5cp3lqpkq0q-source/pkgs/development/interpreters/python/cpython/2.7/default.nix:335 is marked as insecure, refusing to evaluate. ``` Errors emitted in nested structures (like e.g. when printing `nixpkgs`) will still be printed in brackets.

2024-03-09Pretty-print values in the REPLeldritch horrors
Pretty-print values in the REPL by printing each item in a list or attrset on a separate line. When possible, single-item lists and attrsets are printed on one line, as long as they don't contain a nested list, attrset, or thunk. Before: ``` { attrs = { a = { b = { c = { }; }; }; }; list = [ 1 ]; list' = [ 1 2 3 ]; } ``` After: ``` { attrs = { a = { b = { c = { }; }; }; }; list = [ 1 ]; list' = [ 1 2 3 ]; } ``` (cherry picked from commit c0a15fb7d03dfb8f53bc6726c414bc88aa362592) Change-Id: Ia2b41849165a5ddb63f7a8c272a2476b3e4292df

Print the value in `error: cannot coerce` messages (cherry picked from commit 5b7bfd2d6b89d7dd5f54c1ca6c8072358d31a84e) === test taken from 6e8d5983143ae576e3f4b1d2954a5267f2943a49; it was added previously (and not backported because its pr was a mostly-revert), but it's useful to have around.

2024-03-09Unify and refactor value printingeldritch horrors
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in `libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in `libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color codes). This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a `PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked, and whether ANSI color codes are displayed. Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed; this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g. all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735) Please read the tests for example output. Future work: - It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps `builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would be useful when debugging Nix code. - It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`. (cherry picked from commit 0fa08b451682fb3311fe58112ff05c4fe5bee3a4, ) === Restore ambiguous value printer for `nix-instantiate` The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged. I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate --eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.
