`nix flake show` now skips derivations for foreign systems: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6988
This commit borrows from that to implement the same behavior for `nix flake check`.
See "nix flake check breaks on IFD in multi-platform flake" https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4265
|
|
This gets us ready for dynamic derivation dependencies (part of RFC 92).

- If the element comes from a flake, print the full flakeref (with the
fragment part) and not just the reference to the flake itself
- If the element doesn't come from a flake, print its store path(s)
This is a bit too verbose, but has the advantages of being correct (and
not crashing), so it's strictly better than the previous situation
Fix https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8284
|
|
This method isn't used to describe what the element is, but to return a
unique identifier for it whithin the current profile
|
|
This pattern rule was unwisely hidden in `src/libstore/local.mk`. Now it
is properly in `mk/` and we reuse it for the profile docs too.

Fixes #8309
This regression was because both `CmdDevelop` and `CmdPrintDevEnv` were
switched to be `InstallableValueCommand` subclasses, but actually
neither should have been.
The `nixpkgsFlakeRef` method should indeed not be on the base
installable class, because "flake refs" and "nixpkgs" are not
installable-wide notions, but that doesn't mean these commands should
only accept installable values.
|
|
|
|
it's probably better not to show the manifest file documentation in the
command-specific pages, because these are implementation details that are not really practically useful.
this means no additional hassle for building the manual, but clutters
the table of contents a bit.

Motivation
`PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms
(`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths.
Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using
`StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`.
-----
In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as
`std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The
old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only
used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are
now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices.
Summarizing the previous paragraph:
Old:
- `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>`
- `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)`
- `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
New:
- `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>`
- `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
----
The string representation of string context elements no longer contains
the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should
make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing
that file first. This was done for two reasons:
Less API churn:
`Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if
`NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they
did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in
order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without
adding that argument.
That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this
diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to
do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not
take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply
drop the store dir.
Space usage:
Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation
will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If
the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving
could add up to something significant.
----
The eval cache version is bumped.
The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse,
to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that
means the on-disk representation is also changed.
This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache
from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`.
----
To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract
over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that
string in the context.
Context
This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully
structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context`
as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap
string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts.
The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during
Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left
as future work. This is that future work.
A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]`
evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do
that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL
containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do
that.
----
PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`,
`mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I
would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the
inverse as expected.
This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that
more elegant and better tested way is possible.

Add commit-lockfile-summary to flake nixConfig whitelist
|

We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of
ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so.
PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building,
will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there
to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we
test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent
from the testsuite diff alone.

- Create a glossary entry for experimental features.
- Have the man page experimental feature notice link `nix-commmand`.
(Eventually this should be programmed, based on whether the command is
experimental, and if so what experimental feature does it depend on.)
- Document which installables depend on which experimental features.
I tried to use the same style (bold warning and block quote) that the
top of the man page uses.

Also refine `nix derivation show`'s docs very slightly.
|
|
This will match the files we added for `nix add derivation` in the rest
of this PR.
|

This is non-breaking change in the to-JSON direction. This *is* a
breaking change in the from-JSON direction, but we don't care, as that
is brand new in this PR.
`nix show-derivation --help` currently has the sole public documentation
of this format, it is updated accordingly.

This function returns true or false depending on whether the Nix client
is trusted or not. Mostly relevant when speaking to a remote store with
a daemon.
We include this information in `nix ping store` and `nix doctor`

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.)
|
|
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.
|
|
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.)

Punt on improper global flags for now
|

`///@file` makes them show up in the internal API dos. A tiny few were
missing `#pragma once`.

Document `gitlab` input scheme
|

We weren't because this ancient PR predated it!
This is actually a new version of the pattern which addresses some
issues identified in #7479.
|

Also improve content-address.hh API docs.

Picking up where #8078 left off.

Stratify `ExtraPathInfo` along `Installable` hierarchy
|
|
Auto-generate store documentation
|
|
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.

Hide experimental settings
|
|
`legacyPackages` of nixpkgs trigger eval errors in `hasContent`, causing
the whole `legacyPackages` being skipped. We should treat it as
has-content in that case.
|
|
Instead of having a bunch of optional fields, have a few subclasses
which can have mandatory fields.
Additionally, the new `getExtraPathInfo`, and `nixpkgsFlakeRef`, are
moved to `InstallableValue`.
I did these things because https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134 ; with
these things moved to `InstallableValue`, the base `Installable` no
longer depends on libexpr! This is a major step towards that.
Also, add a bunch of doc comments for sake of the internal API docs.
