2023-04-17Gate experimental features in `DerivationOutput::fromJSON`John Ericson
This is an entry point for outside data, so we need to check enabled experimental features here.

Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and failures more strongly. - `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables - `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the pipeline. This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this. There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with `set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test. To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why. `grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that function for why. `grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse, see the comments on that function for why. `grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with `grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.

2022-12-15Fix a crash in DerivedPath::Built::toJSON() with impure derivationsEelco Dolstra
The use of 'nullptr' here didn't result in a null JSON value, but in a nullptr being cast to a string, which aborts.

Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result every time they're built. Example: stdenv.mkDerivation { name = "impure"; __impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure outputHashAlgo = "sha256"; outputHashMode = "recursive"; buildCommand = "date > $out"; }; Some important characteristics: * This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature. * Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time. * They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database. * Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the dependency graph. * When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.
