2023-04-06Backport SourcePath from the lazy-trees branchEelco Dolstra
This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)

This is needed in subsequent commits to allow the settings and CLI args infrastructure itself to read this setting.

2023-02-01nix-shell: Colour the prompt red if the user is rootJamie Quigley
This matches the nixos prompt colours - green for standard user, red for root
2023-01-11Make it hard to construct an empty `OutputsSpec::Names`John Ericson
This should be a non-empty set, and so we don't want people doing this by accident. We remove the zero-0 constructor with a little inheritance trickery.
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.

2022-06-13nix-shell: restore backwards-compat with old nixpkgsMaximilian Bosch
Basically an attempt to resume fixing #5543 for a breakage introduced earlier[1]. Basically, when evaluating an older `nixpkgs` with `nix-shell` the following error occurs: λ ma27 [~] → nix-shell -I nixpkgs=channel:nixos-18.03 -p nix error: anonymous function at /nix/store/zakqwc529rb6xcj8pwixjsxscvlx9fbi-source/pkgs/top-level/default.nix:20:1 called with unexpected argument 'inNixShell' at /nix/store/zakqwc529rb6xcj8pwixjsxscvlx9fbi-source/pkgs/top-level/impure.nix:82:1: 81| 82| import ./. (builtins.removeAttrs args [ "system" "platform" ] // { | ^ 83| inherit config overlays crossSystem; This is a problem because one of the main selling points of Nix is that you can evaluate any old Nix expression and still get the same result (which also means that it *still evaluates*). In fact we're deprecating, but not removing a lot of stuff for that reason such as unquoted URLs[2] or `builtins.toPath`. However this property was essentially thrown away here. The change is rather simple: check if `inNixShell` is specified in the formals of an auto-called function. This means that { inNixShell ? false }: builtins.trace inNixShell (with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; }) will show `trace: true` while args@{ ... }: builtins.trace args.inNixShell (with import <nixpkgs> { }; makeShell { name = "foo"; }) will throw the following error: error: attribute 'inNixShell' missing This is explicitly needed because the function in `pkgs/top-level/impure.nix` of e.g. NixOS 18.03 has an ellipsis[3], but passes the attribute-set on to another lambda with formals that doesn't have an ellipsis anymore (hence the error from above). This was perhaps a mistake, but we can't fix it anymore. This also means that there's AFAICS no proper way to check if the attr-set that's passed to the Nix code via `EvalState::autoCallFunction` is eventually passed to a lambda with formals where `inNixShell` is missing. However, this fix comes with a certain price. Essentially every `shell.nix` that assumes `inNixShell` to be passed to the formals even without explicitly specifying it would break with this[4]. However I think that this is ugly, but preferable: * Nix 2.3 was declared stable by NixOS up until recently (well, it still is as long as 21.11 is alive), so most people might not have even noticed that feature. * We're talking about a way shorter time-span with this change being in the wild, so the fallout should be smaller IMHO.

2022-05-04Get rid of most `.at` calls (#6393)Alain Zscheile
Use one of `get` or `getOr` instead which will either return a null-pointer (with a nicer error message) or a default value when the key is missing.
2022-03-11Desugar `StorePathWithOutputs` in nix-build implementationJohn Ericson
`DerivedPath` has replaced `StorePathWithOutputs` internally, so shrinking the usage of `StorePathWithOutputs` to just the boundary is good.
2022-03-02Add EvalState::coerceToStorePath() helperEelco Dolstra
This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path (e.g. in get-drvs.cc). Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a store path must come from a store source tree accessor).

improve parser performance a bit
2022-01-13avoid copies of parser input datapennae
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present. # before Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 572.4 ms ± 2.3 ms [User: 563.4 ms, System: 8.6 ms] Range (min … max): 566.9 ms … 579.1 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 381.7 ms ± 1.0 ms [User: 348.3 ms, System: 33.1 ms] Range (min … max): 380.2 ms … 387.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.936 s ± 0.005 s [User: 2.715 s, System: 0.221 s] Range (min … max): 2.923 s … 2.946 s 50 runs # after Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 571.7 ms ± 2.4 ms [User: 563.3 ms, System: 8.0 ms] Range (min … max): 566.7 ms … 579.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 376.6 ms ± 1.0 ms [User: 345.8 ms, System: 30.5 ms] Range (min … max): 374.5 ms … 379.1 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.922 s ± 0.006 s [User: 2.707 s, System: 0.215 s] Range (min … max): 2.906 s … 2.934 s 50 runs
2022-01-04Ensure that attrsets are sortedEelco Dolstra
Previously you had to remember to call value->attrs->sort() after populating value->attrs. Now there is a BindingsBuilder helper that wraps Bindings and ensures that sort() is called before you can use it.
2021-12-22Remove CPU lockingEelco Dolstra
This was already accidentally disabled in ba87b08. It also no longer appears to be beneficial, and in fact slow things down, e.g. when evaluating a NixOS system configuration: elapsed time: median = 3.8170 mean = 3.8202 stddev = 0.0195 min = 3.7894 max = 3.8600 [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=0.36929±0.02513]

Fix #5259
2021-11-21nix-shell --pure: let variables for Wayland throughAlyssa Ross
We let DISPLAY (X11) through, so we should let the Wayland equivalents through as well. Similarly, we let HOME through, so it should be okay to allow XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (which is needed for connecting to Wayland with WAYLAND_DISPLAY) through as well. Otherwise graphical applications will either fall back to X11 (if they support it), or just not work (if they don't).
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.
2021-08-06nix-shell --pure: Let it work for any derivationFarid Zakaria
`nix-shell --pure` when applied to a non stdenv derivation doesn't seem to clear the PATH. It expects the stdenv/setup file to do so. This adds an explicit `unset PATH` by nix-build.cc (nix-shell) itself so that it's not reliant on stdenv/setup anymore. This does not break impure nix-shell since the PATH is persisted as the variable `p` prior in the bash rcfile fixes #5092

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.

2021-06-22Set environment variables for .attrs.json & .attrs.shMaximilian Bosch
This way no derivation has to expect that these files are in the `cwd` during the build. This is problematic for `nix-shell` where these files would have to be inserted into the nix-shell's `cwd` which can become problematic with e.g. recursive `nix-shell`. To remain backwards-compatible, the location inside the build sandbox will be kept, however using these files directly should be deprecated from now on.
2021-06-22Source complete env in `nix-shell` with `__structuredAttrs = true;`Maximilian Bosch
This is needed to push the adoption of structured attrs[1] forward. It's now checked if a `__json` exists in the environment-map of the derivation to be openend in a `nix-shell`. Derivations with structured attributes enabled also make use of a file named `.attrs.json` containing every environment variable represented as JSON which is useful for e.g. `exportReferencesGraph`[2]. To provide an environment similar to the build sandbox, `nix-shell` now adds a `.attrs.json` to `cwd` (which is mostly equal to the one in the build sandbox) and removes it using an exit hook when closing the shell. To avoid leaking internals of the build-process to the `nix-shell`, the entire logic to generate JSON and shell code for structured attrs was moved into the `ParsedDerivation` class.

2021-06-22nix-shell: Replace resolving failure error by an assertionregnat

Resolve the derivation before trying to load its environment − essentially reproducing what the build loop does − so that we can effectively access our dependencies (and not just their placeholders). Fix #4821

2021-04-05Rename BuildableJohn Ericson
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).
2021-03-04nix-build: set execfailBernardo Meurer
When starting a nix-shell with `-i` it was previously possible for it to silently fail in the scenario where the specified interpreter didn't exist. This happened due to the `exec` call masking the issue. With this change we enable `execfail`, which causes the script using `nix-shell` as interpreter to correctly exit with code 127. Fixes: #4598
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.
2021-02-19Don't crash nix-build when not all outputs are realisedregnat
Change the `nix-build` logic for linking/printing the output paths to allow for some outputs to be missing. This might happen when the toplevel derivation didn't have to be built, either because all the required outputs were already there, or because they have all been substituted.
