2024-10-15treewide: consistently mark overridden settings as suchAlois Wohlschlager
Only overridden settings are sent to the daemon, and we're going to do the same for the build hook to. It needs to be ensured that overridden settings are in fact consistently marked as such, so that they actually get sent. Change-Id: I7cd58d925702f86cf2c35ad121eb191ceb62a355
2024-10-01Remove static initializers for `RegisterLegacyCommand`Rebecca Turner
This moves the "legacy"/"nix2" commands under a new `src/legacy/` directory, instead of being scattered around in a bunch of different directories. A new `liblegacy` build target is defined, and the `nix` binary is linked against it. Then, `RegisterLegacyCommand` is replaced with `LegacyCommand::add` calls in functions like `registerNixCollectGarbage()`. These registration functions are called explicitly in `src/nix/main.cc`.

2024-08-21Stop the logger in legacy commands againAlois Wohlschlager
Commit 0dd1d8ca1cdccfc620644a7f690ed35bcd2d1e74 included an accidental revert of 1461e6cdda06f7f461114cce5b415f6d50381311 (actually slightly worse), leading to the progress bar not being stopped properly when a legacy command was invoked with `--log-format bar` (or similar options that show a progress bar). Move the progress bar stopping code to its proper place again to fix this regression. Change-Id: I676333da096d5990b717a387924bb988c9b73fab

2024-08-10fix: check if it is a Real terminal, not just if it is a terminalJade Lovelace
This will stop printing stuff to dumb terminals that they don't support. I've overall audited usage of isatty and replaced the ones with intent to mean "is a Real terminal" with checking for that. I've also caught a case of carelessly assuming "is a tty" means "should be colour" in nix-env. Change-Id: I6d83725d9a2d932ac94ff2294f92c0a1100d23c9
2024-08-09main: require argv[0]eldritch horrors
sure, linux has been providing argv[0] by default for a while now. other OSes may not be as forthcoming though, and relying on the OS to create a world in which we can just make assumptions we could test for instead is unnecessarily lazy. we *could* default argv0, but that's a little silly. notably we abort instead of returning normally to avoid confusions where a caller interprets our exit status like a Worker build results bitmask.

Maybe in the future we should ban the function from not being noexcept, but that is not today. - Makes various locally-used exceptions inherit from std::exception.

2024-07-01tree-wide: unify progress bar inactive and paused statesAlois Wohlschlager
Previously, the progress bar had two subtly different states in which the bar would not actually render, both with their own shortcomings: inactive (which was irreversible) and paused (reversible, but swallowing logs). Furthermore, there was no way of resetting the statistics, so a very bad solution was implemented (243c0f18dae2a08ea0e46f7ff33277c63f7506d7) that would create a new logger for each line of the repl, leaking the previous one and discarding the value of printBuildLogs. Finally, if stderr was not attached to a TTY, the update thread was started even though the logger was not active, violating the invariant required by the destructor (which is not observed because the logger is leaked). In this commit, the two aforementioned states are unified into a single one, which can be exited again, correctly upholds the invariant that the update thread is only running while the progress bar is active, and does not swallow logs. The latter change in behavior is not expected to be a problems in the rare cases where the paused state was used before, since other loggers (like the simple one) don't exhibit it anyway. The startProgressBar/stopProgressBar API is removed due to being a footgun, and a new method for properly resetting the progress is added.

2024-05-03Rename `nix show-config` to `nix config show`Théophane Hufschmitt
Part of #7672 My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config` if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3]. I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`, the warning is added there automatically. (cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41) [1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig [2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother in the first place :) [3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in nixpkgs itself for Lix.

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.

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).

2023-08-14Create `outputOf` primop.John Ericson
In the Nix language, given a drv path, we should be able to construct another string referencing to one of its output. We can do this today with `(import drvPath).output`, but this only works for derivations we already have. With dynamic derivations, however, that doesn't work well because the `drvPath` isn't yet built: importing it like would need to trigger IFD, when the whole point of this feature is to do "dynamic build graph" without IFD! Instead, what we want to do is create a placeholder value with the right string context to refer to the output of the as-yet unbuilt derivation. A new primop in the language, analogous to `builtins.placeholder` can be used to create one. This will achieve all the right properties. The placeholder machinery also will match out the `outPath` attribute for CA derivations works. In 60b7121d2c6d4322b7c2e8e7acfec7b701b2d3a1 we added that type of placeholder, and the derived path and string holder changes necessary to support it. Then in the previous commit we cleaned up the code (inspiration finally hit me!) to deduplicate the code and expose exactly what we need. Now, we can wire up the primop trivally!

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.)
2023-04-04Assemble experimental feature docs outside of Nix itselfJohn Ericson
Instead of constructing a markdown list in C++ (which involved all sorts of nasty string literals), export some JSON and assemble it with the manual build system. Besides following the precedent set with other dumped data, this is a better separate of content and presentation; if we decide for example we want to display this information in a different way, or in a different section of the manual, it will become much easier to do so.
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.)

2023-03-27Punt on improper global flags for nowJohn Ericson
See the note in the test. We don't want these flags showing up for commands where they are irrelevant. Eventually, this needs a proper fix, but it need not be a blocker for stabilize: for a quick-n-dirty punt, just put these flags behind the `nix-command` unstable feature. This is fine because they are only relevant for commands which we don't need to stabilize for a while.

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.
2023-03-20Move enabled experimental feature to libutil structJohn Ericson
This is needed in subsequent commits to allow the settings and CLI args infrastructure itself to read this setting.
2023-03-15Make command infra less stateful and more regularJohn Ericson
Already, we had classes like `BuiltPathsCommand` and `StorePathsCommand` which provided alternative `run` virtual functions providing the implementation with more arguments. This was a very nice and easy way to make writing command; just fill in the virtual functions and it is fairly clear what to do. However, exception to this pattern were `Installable{,s}Command`. These two classes instead just had a field where the installables would be stored, and various side-effecting `prepare` and `load` machinery too fill them in. Command would wish out those fields. This isn't so clear to use. What this commit does is make those command classes like the others, with richer `run` functions. Not only does this restore the pattern making commands easier to write, it has a number of other benefits: - `prepare` and `load` are gone entirely! One command just hands just hands off to the next. - `useDefaultInstallables` because `defaultInstallables`. This takes over `prepare` for the one case that needs it, and provides enough flexiblity to handle `nix repl`'s idiosyncratic migration. - We can use `ref` instead of `std::shared_ptr`. The former must be initialized (so it is like Rust's `Box` rather than `Option<Box>`, This expresses the invariant that the installable are in fact initialized much better. This is possible because since we just have local variables not fields, we can stop worrying about the not-yet-initialized case. - Fewer lines of code! (Finally I have a large refactor that makes the number go down not up...) - `nix repl` is now implemented in a clearer way. The last item deserves further mention. `nix repl` is not like the other installable commands because instead working from once-loaded installables, it needs to be able to load them again and again. To properly support this, we make a new superclass `RawInstallablesCommand`. This class has the argument parsing and completion logic, but does *not* hand off parsed installables but instead just the raw string arguments. This is exactly what `nix repl` needs, and allows us to instead of having the logic awkwardly split between `prepare`, `useDefaultInstallables,` and `load`, have everything right next to each other. I think this will enable future simplifications of that argument defaulting logic, but I am saving those for a future PR --- best to keep code motion and more complicated boolean expression rewriting separate steps. The "diagnostic ignored `-Woverloaded-virtual`" pragma helps because C++ doesn't like our many `run` methods. In our case, we don't mind the shadowing it all --- it is *intentional* that the derived class only provides a `run` method, and doesn't call any of the overridden `run` methods. Helps with https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134
