2024-03-27HOT SALE: 15% off your build times!Jade Lovelace
This was achieved by running maintainers/buildtime_report.sh on the build directory of a meson build, then asking "why the heck is json eating our build times", and strategically moving the json using bits out of widely included headers. It turns out that putting literally any metrics whatsoever into the build had immediate and predictable results. Results are 1382.5s frontend time -> 1175.4s frontend time, back end time approximately invariant.

Overhaul `nix flake update` and `nix flake lock` UX (cherry picked from commit 12a0ae73dbb37becefa5a442eb4532ff0de9ce65) Change-Id: Iff3b4f4235ebb1948ec612036b39ab29e4ca22b2
2024-03-25Overhaul completions, redo #6693 (#8131)John Ericson
As I complained in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6784#issuecomment-1421777030 (a comment on the wrong PR, sorry again!), #6693 introduced a second completions mechanism to fix a bug. Having two completion mechanisms isn't so nice. As @thufschmitt also pointed out, it was a bummer to go from `FlakeRef` to `std::string` when collecting flake refs. Now it is `FlakeRefs` again. The underlying issue that sought to work around was that completion of arguments not at the end can still benefit from the information from latter arguments. To fix this better, we rip out that change and simply defer all completion processing until after all the (regular, already-complete) arguments have been passed. In addition, I noticed the original completion logic used some global variables. I do not like global variables, because even if they save lines of code, they also obfuscate the architecture of the code. I got rid of them moved them to a new `RootArgs` class, which now has `parseCmdline` instead of `Args`. The idea is that we have many argument parsers from subcommands and what-not, but only one root args that owns the other per actual parsing invocation. The state that was global is now part of the root args instead. This did, admittedly, add a bunch of new code. And I do feel bad about that. So I went and added a lot of API docs to try to at least make the current state of things clear to the next person. -- This is needed for RFC 134 (tracking issue #7868). It was very hard to modularize `Installable` parsing when there were two completion arguments. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is *easy* now, but at least it is less hard (and the completions test finally passed).

2024-03-17Delete hasPrefix and hasSuffix from the codebaseJade Lovelace
These now have equivalents in the standard lib in C++20. This change was performed with a custom clang-tidy check which I will submit later. Executed like so: ninja -C build && run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,nix-*' -load=build/libnix-clang-tidy.so -p .. -fix ../tests | tee -a clang-tidy-result Change-Id: I62679e315ff9e7ce72a40b91b79c3e9fc01b27e9

2023-04-03Stuctured command stabilityJohn Ericson
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.)
2023-03-20Fix handling of experimental features mid-parseJohn Ericson
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.

2023-02-10Infer short completion descriptions for commandline flagsPhilipp Jungkamp
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.

2022-07-11Fix flake input completion for `InstallablesCommand`sNaïm Favier
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
2022-03-07Perform tilde expansion when completing flake fragmentsNaïm Favier
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.

2021-02-26nix flake update: Recreate the lock fileEelco Dolstra
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.
2021-02-24Respect command registrations in plugins.Shea Levy
2021-02-24Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flagsShea Levy
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.

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.
