2023-07-31Move evaluator settings (type and global) to separate file/headerJohn Ericson
2023-03-16Move value-only methods to `InstallableValue`John Ericson
These methods would previously fail on the other `Installable`s, so moving them to this class is more correct as to where they actually work. Additionally, a `InstallableValueCommand` is created to make it easier (or rather no worse than before) to write commands that just work on `InstallableValue`s. Besides being a cleanup to avoid failing default methods, this gets us closer to https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134.
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

2022-04-26nix: Respect meta.outputsToInstall, and use all outputs by defaultEelco Dolstra
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with nix-env. Fixes #6385. Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way to specify the desired outputs explicitly.
2022-04-26EvalCache: Revert to using symbols in getAttr()Eelco Dolstra
2022-04-25rename SymbolIdx -> Symbol, Symbol -> SymbolStrpennae
after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to be formatted for output. this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and inconvient.
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!)
2022-04-21Move hiliteMatches into a separate headerEelco Dolstra
This is mostly so that we don't #include <regex> everywhere (which adds quite a bit of compilation time).
2022-04-14Make InstallableFlake::toValue() and toDerivation() behave consistentlyEelco Dolstra
In particular, this means that 'nix eval` (which uses toValue()) no longer auto-calls functions or functors (because AttrCursor::findAlongAttrPath() doesn't). Fixes #6152. Also use ref<> in a few places, and don't return attrpaths from getCursor() because cursors already have a getAttrPath() method.

It's now disabled by default for the following: * 'nix search' (this was already implied by read-only mode) * 'nix flake show' * 'nix flake check', but only on the hydraJobs output
2021-02-03Always enter first level of attrset in nix searchMatthew Bauer
This makes nix search always go through the first level of an attribute set, even if it's not a top level attribute. For instance, you can now list all GHC compilers with: $ nix search nixpkgs#haskell.compiler ... This is similar to how nix-env works when you pass in -A.

2020-06-04nix flake init: Add a '--template' flagEelco Dolstra
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the 'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g. outputs = { self }: { templates = { nixos-container = { path = ./nixos-container; description = "An example of a NixOS container"; }; }; }; allows $ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the current directory.

2018-07-02search.cc: improve UX for `nix search`Maximilian Bosch
As proposed in #1634 the `nix search` command could use some improvements. Initially 0413aeb35d6ee869a98b6565781c1cf47dc80080 added some basic sorting behavior using `std::map`, a next step would be an improvement of the output. This patch includes the following changes: * Use `$PAGER` for outputs with `RunPager` from `shared.hh`: The same behavior is defined for `nix-env --query`, furthermore it makes searching huge results way easier. * Simplified result blocks: The new output is heavily inspired by the output from `nox`, the first line shows the attribute path and the derivaiton name (`attribute path (derivation name)`) and the description in the second line.
2018-04-18Allow multiple search experssions in nix searchDaniel Poelzleithner
The common use case is to search for packages containing multiple words like a "git" "frontend". Having only one expressions makes this simple regular use case very complicated. Instead, search accepts multiple regular epressions which all need to match. nix search git 'gui|frontend' returns a list of all git uis for example

This is important since this is given as an example. Other patterns containing "empty search string" will still be handled differently on different platforms ("asdf|") but that's less of an issue.
