2022-09-07WIP: broken merge but need a git checkpointGuillaume Maudoux
2022-08-24Fix progress bar flicker with -LEelco Dolstra
This was caused by -L calling setLogFormat() again, which caused the creation of a new progress bar without destroying the old one. So we had two progress bars clobbering each other. We should change 'logger' to be a smart pointer, but I'll do that in a future PR. Fixes #6931.
2022-07-12Merge pull request #6693 from ncfavier/complete-flake-inputsThéophane Hufschmitt
Improve shell completion of flake inputs
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>`.
2022-06-23Fix build-remote in nix-staticEelco Dolstra
'build-remote' is now executed via /proc/self/exe so it always works.
2022-05-31repl: `--option pure-eval true` actually enables pure eval modeMaximilian Bosch
To quote Eelco in #5867: > Unfortunately we can't do > > evalSettings.pureEval.setDefault(false); > > because then we have to do the same in main.cc (where > pureEval is set to true), and that would allow pure-eval > to be disabled globally from nix.conf. Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag. In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override `pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure eval actually matters). Closes #5867
2022-05-11Stop the logger properly in legacy commandsNaïm Favier
Ensures the logger is stopped on exit in legacy commands. Without this, when using `nix-build --log-format bar` and stopping nix with CTRL+C, the bar is not cleared from the screen.

2022-04-21store Symbols in a table as well, like positionspennae
this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no increase in memory on average. symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each, assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates less than a million symbols!)

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.

2021-11-16Ignore errors unsharing/restoring the mount namespaceEelco Dolstra
This prevents Nix from barfing when run in a container where it doesn't have the appropriate privileges.
2021-11-08Unshare mount namespace in main()Eelco Dolstra
Doing it as a side-effect of calling LocalStore::makeStoreWritable() is very ugly. Also, make sure that stopping the progress bar joins the update thread, otherwise that thread should be unshared as well.
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.

2021-02-24Respect 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.
