2024-03-09libexpr: Support structured error classeseldritch horrors
While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v)) we could write TypeError(v, "boolean") or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first step towards error codes / an error index. This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to support exception types with different constructor signatures than `BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to touch every exception in `libexpr`). The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this: state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr()) .debugThrow<TypeError>() are transformed like this: state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr()) .debugThrow() The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to `EvalState::error`.

2023-10-02Revert "Adapt scheduler to work with dynamic derivations"John Ericson
This reverts commit 5e3986f59cb58f48186a49dcec7aa317b4787522. This un-implements RFC 92 but fixes the critical bug #9052 which many people are hitting. This is a decent stop-gap until a minimal reproduction of that bug is found and a proper fix can be made. Mostly fixed #9052, but I would like to leave that issue open until we have a regression test, so I can then properly fix the bug (unbreaking RFC 92) later. (cherry picked from commit 8440afbed756254784d9fea3eaab06649dffd390)
2023-08-25Adapt scheduler to work with dynamic derivationsJohn Ericson
To avoid dealing with an optional `drvPath` (because we might not know it yet) everywhere, make an `CreateDerivationAndRealiseGoal`. This goal just builds/substitutes the derivation file, and then kicks of a build for that obtained derivation; in other words it does the chaining of goals when the drv file is missing (as can already be the case) or computed (new case). This also means the `getDerivation` state can be removed from `DerivationGoal`, which makes the `BasicDerivation` / in memory case and `Derivation` / drv file file case closer together. The map type is factored out for clarity, and because we will soon hvae a second use for it (`Derivation` itself). Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
2023-08-25Use `Worker::makeDerivationGoal` lessJohn Ericson
We're about to split up `DerivationGoal` a bit. At that point `makeDerivationGoal` will mean something more specific than it does today. (Perhaps a future rename will make this clearer.) On the other hand, the more public `Worker::makeGoal` function will continue to work exactly as before. So by moving some call sites to use that instead, we preemptively avoid issues in the next step.
2023-08-10Make the Derived Path family of types inductive for dynamic derivationsJohn Ericson
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`: `foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`). To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the rightmost `^`. `NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse `SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of `DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with `SingleDerivedPath` entirely! Important note: some JSON formats have changed. We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

2023-04-15Make `KeyedBuildResult`, `BuildResult` like before, and fix bug another wayJohn Ericson
In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6311#discussion_r834863823, I realized since derivation goals' wanted outputs can "grow" due to overlapping dependencies (See `DerivationGoal::addWantedOutputs`, called by `Worker::makeDerivationGoalCommon`), the previous bug fix had an unfortunate side effect of causing more pointless rebuilds. In paticular, we have this situation: 1. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {a} }`. 2. Goal gives on on substituting, starts building. 3. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {b} }`, in fact is just modified original goal. 4. Though the goal had gotten as far as building, so all outputs were going to be produced, `addWantedOutputs` no longer knows that and so the goal is flagged to be restarted. This might sound far-fetched with input-addressed drvs, where we usually basically have all our goals "planned out" before we start doing anything, but with CA derivation goals and especially RFC 92, where *drv resolution* means goals are created after some building is completed, it is more likely to happen. So the first thing to do was restore the clearing of `wantedOutputs` we used to do, and then filter the outputs in `buildPathsWithResults` to only get the ones we care about. But fix also has its own side effect in that the `DerivedPath` in the `BuildResult` in `DerivationGoal` cannot be trusted; it is merely the *first* `DerivedPath` for which this goal was originally created. To remedy this, I made `BuildResult` be like it was before, and instead made `KeyedBuildResult` be a subclass wit the path. Only `buildPathsWithResults` returns `KeyedBuildResult`s, everything else just becomes like it was before, where the "key" is unambiguous from context. I think separating the "primary key" field(s) from the other fields is good practical in general anyways. (I would like to do the same thing for `ValidPathInfo`.) Among other things, it allows constructions like `std::map<Key, ThingWithKey>` where doesn't contain duplicate keys and just precludes the possibility of those duplicate keys being out of sync. We might leverage the above someday to overload `buildPathsWithResults` to take a *set* of return a *map* per the above. ----- Unfortunately, we need to avoid C++20 strictness on designated initializers. (BTW https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2287r1.html this offers some new syntax for this use-case. Hopefully this will be adopted and we can eventually use it.) No having that yet, maybe it would be better to not make `KeyedBuildResult` a subclass to just avoid this. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
2023-04-15Introduce `Worker::makeGoal`John Ericson
This takes a `DerivedPath` so the caller doesn't need to care about which sort of goal does what.
2023-04-14Support `repairPath` on most stores.John Ericson
More progress on issue #5729 The method trivially generalizes to be store-implementation-agnostic, in fact. However, we force it to continue to be unimplemented with `RemoteStore` and `LegacySSHStore` because the implementation we'd get via the generalization is probably not the one users expect. This keeps our hands untied to do it right going forward. For more about the tension between the scheduler logic being store-type-agnostic and remote stores doing their own scheduling, see issues #5025 and #5056.
2023-01-11Remove default constructor from `OutputsSpec`John Ericson
This forces us to be explicit. It also requires to rework how `from_json` works. A `JSON_IMPL` is added to assist with this.
2023-01-11Split `OutputsSpec` and `ExtendedOutputsSpec`, use the former moreJohn Ericson
`DerivedPath::Built` and `DerivationGoal` were previously using a regular set with the convention that the empty set means all outputs. But it is easy to forget about this rule when processing those sets. Using `OutputSpec` forces us to get it right.

2022-03-09BuildResult: Use DerivedPathEelco Dolstra
2022-03-08Add Store::buildPathsWithResults()Eelco Dolstra
This function is like buildPaths(), except that it returns a vector of BuildResults containing the exact statuses and output paths of each derivation / substitution. This is convenient for functions like Installable::build(), because they then don't need to do another series of calls to get the outputs of CA derivations. It's also a precondition to impure derivations, where we *can't* query the output of those derivations since they're not stored in the Nix database. Note that PathSubstitutionGoal can now also return a BuildStatus.

2021-10-26Make experimental-features a proper typeregnat
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features. This means that - Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features) - It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages of it.

Currently machine specification (`/etc/nix/machine`) parser fails with a vague exception if the file had incorrect format. This commit adds verbose exceptions and unit-tests for the parser.
2021-09-30`std::visit` by referenceJohn Ericson
I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even improve performance.
2021-07-22buildPaths(): Add an evalStore argumentEelco Dolstra
With this, we don't have to copy the entire .drv closure to the destination store ahead of time (or at all). Instead, buildPaths() reads .drv files from the eval store and copies inputSrcs to the destination store if it needs to build a derivation. Issue #5025.

This makes for better types errors and allows us to give it methods.
2021-04-05Use `BuildableReq` for `buildPaths` and `ensurePath`John Ericson
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {} }` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on context. It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that distinction already. In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).

2021-02-26Split {,local-}derivation-goal.{cc,hh}John Ericson
This separates the scheduling logic (including simple hook pathway) from the local-store needing code. This should be the final split for now. I'm reasonably happy with how it's turning out, even before I'm done moving code into `local-derivation-goal`. Benefits: 1. This will help "witness" that the hook case is indeed a lot simpler, and also compensate for the increased complexity that comes from content-addressed derivation outputs. 2. It also moves us ever so slightly towards a world where we could use off-the-shelf storage or sandboxing, since `local-derivation-goal` would be gutted in those cases, but `derivation-goal` should remain nearly the same. The new `#if 0` in the new files will be deleted in the following commit. I keep it here so if it turns out more stuff can be moved over, it's easy to do so in a way that preserves ordering --- and thus prevents conflicts. N.B. ```sh git diff HEAD^^ --color-moved --find-copies-harder --patience --stat ``` makes nicer output.
