Prior to this, there was an ad-hoc whitelist in `main.cc`. Now, every
command states its stability.
In a future PR, we will adjust the manual to take advantage of this new
information in the JSON.
(It will be easier to do that once we have some experimental feature
docs to link too; see #5930 and #7798.)

If we conditionally "declare" the argument, as we did before, based upon
weather the feature is enabled, commands like
nix --experimental-features=foo ... --thing-gated-on-foo
won't work, because the experimental feature isn't enabled until *after*
we start parsing.
Instead, allow arguments to also be associated with experimental
features (just as we did for builtins and settings), and then the
command line parser will filter out the experimental ones.
Since the effects of arguments (handler functions) are performed right
away, we get the required behavior: earlier arguments can enable later
arguments enabled!
There is just one catch: we want to keep non-positional
flags...non-positional. So if
nix --experimental-features=foo ... --thing-gated-on-foo
works, then
nix --thing-gated-on-foo --experimental-features=foo ...
should also work.
This is not my favorite long-term solution, but for now this is
implemented by delaying the requirement of needed experimental features
until *after* all the arguments have been parsed.

Descriptions for commandline flags may not include newlines and should
be rather short for display in a shell. Truncate the description string
of a flag on '\n' or '.' to and add an ellipsis if needed.
|
|
|
|
This removes unintended blank lines in Markdown when the description
is a multiline string literal.

Defers completion of flake inputs until the whole command line is parsed
so that we know what flakes we need to complete the inputs of.
Previously, `nix build flake --update-input <Tab>` always behaved like
`nix build . --update-input <Tab>`.
|
|
Shell completion improvements
|
|
Allows completing `nix build ~/flake#<Tab>`.
We can implement expansion for `~user` later if needed.
Not using wordexp(3) since that expands way too much.
|
|
Allows completing `nix why-depends /run/cur<Tab>` to /run/current-system
|
|
I was surprised to see an error mentioning ___COMPLETE___ when trying to
complete a flag argument that had no completer implemented
|
|
Each `Error` class now includes a set of suggestions, and these are printed by
the top-level handler.
|
|
Also use std::string_view in a few more places.

Fixes #4476.
Fixes #5231.
|
|
This is probably what most people expect it to do. Fixes #3781.
There is a new command 'nix flake lock' that has the old behaviour of
'nix flake update', i.e. it just adds missing lock file entries unless
overriden using --update-input.

This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

Make nix output completions in the form `completion\tdescription`.
This can't be used by bash (afaik), but other shells like zsh or fish
can display it along the completion choices
|
|
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...

Now that we have a separate flag function, also describe why it is
optional.
|
|
Instead, `Hash` uses `std::optional<HashType>`. In the future, we may
also make `Hash` itself require a known hash type, encoraging people to
use `std::optional<Hash>` instead.
