2020-12-22Add explicit `allRefs = true;` argument to `fetchGit`Maximilian Bosch
Sometimes it's necessary to fetch a git repository at a revision and it's unknown which ref contains the revision in question. An example would be a Cargo.lock which only provides the URL and the revision when using a git repository as build input. However it's considered a bad practice to perform a full checkout of a repository since this may take a lot of time and can eat up a lot of disk space. This patch makes a full checkout explicit by adding an `allRefs` argument to `builtins.fetchGit` which fetches all refs if explicitly set to true. Closes #2409
2020-12-22Provide a more meaningful error-message for `builtins.fetchGit` if a ↵Maximilian Bosch
revision can't be checked out A common pitfall when using e.g. `builtins.fetchGit` is the `fatal: not a tree object`-error when trying to fetch a revision of a git-repository that isn't on the `master` branch and no `ref` is specified. In order to make clear what's the problem, I added a simple check whether the revision in question exists and if it doesn't a more meaningful error-message is displayed: ``` nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/owner/myrepo"; rev = "<commit not on master>"; } moderror: --- Error -------------------------------------------------------------------- nix Cannot find Git revision 'bf1cc5c648e6aed7360448a3745bb2fe4fbbf0e9' in ref 'master' of repository 'https://gitlab.com/Ma27/nvim.nix'! Please make sure that the rev exists on the ref you've specified or add allRefs = true; to fetchGit. ``` Closes #2431
2020-11-10Fix use of dirty Git/Mercurial inputs with chroot storesEelco Dolstra

2020-10-06Remove static variable name clashesEelco Dolstra
This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't hurt...
2020-09-21Don't include <regex> in header filesEelco Dolstra
This reduces compilation time by ~15 seconds (CPU time). Issue #4045.
2020-08-13Don't try to parse signature check as commit timestampChuck
When the log.showSignature git setting is enabled, the output of "git log" contains signature verification information in addition to the timestamp GitInputScheme::fetch wants: $ git log -1 --format=%ct gpg: Signature made Sat 07 Sep 2019 02:02:03 PM PDT gpg: using RSA key 0123456789ABCDEF0123456789ABCDEF01234567 gpg: issuer "user@example.com" gpg: Good signature from "User <user@example.com>" [ultimate] 1567890123 1567890123 For folks that had log.showSignature set, this caused all nix operations on flakes to fail: $ nix build error: stoull

2020-05-30Ensure we restrict refspec interpretation while fetchingNikola Knezevic
As `git fetch` may chose to interpret refspec to it's liking, ensure that we only pass refs that begin with `refs/` as is, otherwise, prepend them with `refs/heads`. Otherwise, branches named `heads/foo` (I know it's bad, but it's allowed), would be fetched as `foo`, instead of `heads/foo`.
2020-05-30Improve ref validity checking in fetchGitNikola Knezevic
The previous regex was too strict and did not match what git was allowing. It could lead to `fetchGit` not accepting valid branch names, even though they exist in a repository (for example, branch names containing `/`, which are pretty standard, like `release/1.0` branches). The new regex defines what a branch name should **NOT** contain. It takes the definitions from `refs.c` in https://github.com/git/git and `git help check-ref-format` pages. This change also introduces a test for ref name validity checking, which compares the result from Nix with the result of `git check-ref-format --branch`.
2020-05-30Remove TreeInfoEelco Dolstra
The attributes previously stored in TreeInfo (narHash, revCount, lastModified) are now stored in Input. This makes it less arbitrary what attributes are stored where. As a result, the lock file format has changed. An entry like "info": { "lastModified": 1585405475, "narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE=" }, "locked": { "owner": "NixOS", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be", "type": "github" }, is now stored as "locked": { "owner": "NixOS", "repo": "nixpkgs", "rev": "b88ff468e9850410070d4e0ccd68c7011f15b2be", "type": "github", "lastModified": 1585405475, "narHash": "sha256-bESW0n4KgPmZ0luxvwJ+UyATrC6iIltVCsGdLiphVeE=" }, The 'Input' class is now a dumb set of attributes. All the fetcher implementations subclass InputScheme, not Input. This simplifies the API. Also, fix substitution of flake inputs. This was broken since lazy flake fetching started using fetchTree internally.

2020-04-07Backport libfetchers from the flakes branchEelco Dolstra
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like 'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a set of attributes, e.g. fetchTree { type = "git"; url = "https://example.org/repo.git"; ref = "some-branch"; rev = "abcdef..."; } The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input specifications and flake lock file entries. All fetchers share a common cache stored in ~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}). This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea59049f861aaba429f48b828d0820b74d1d).

call-flake.nix now passes node.info.narHash to fetchTree. This ensures that dirty Git trees work even in pure mode.
