2023-12-01Put functional tests in `tests/functional`John Ericson
I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of functional and integration tests - Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not clear. - Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure of the files. With this change we have a clean: ```shell-session $ git show 'HEAD:tests' tree HEAD:tests functional/ installer/ nixos/ ``` (cherry picked from commit 68c81c737571794f7246db53fb4774e94fcf4b7e)
2016-01-06Adapt tests to show that floats work properly.Christian Theune
2008-08-14* Added an experimental feature suggested by Andres: ellipses ("...")Eelco Dolstra
in attribute set pattern matches. This allows defining a function that takes *at least* the listed attributes, while ignoring additional attributes. For instance, {stdenv, fetchurl, fuse, ...}: stdenv.mkDerivation { ... }; defines a function that requires an attribute set that contains the specified attributes but ignores others. The main advantage is that we can then write in all-packages.nix aefs = import ../bla/aefs pkgs; instead of aefs = import ../bla/aefs { inherit stdenv fetchurl fuse; }; This saves a lot of typing (not to mention not having to update all-packages.nix with purely mechanical changes). It saves as much typing as the "args: with args;" style, but has the advantage that the function arguments are properly declared (not implicit in what the body of the "with" uses).
2008-08-14* @-patterns as in Haskell. For instance, in a function definitionEelco Dolstra
f = args @ {x, y, z}: ...; `args' refers to the argument as a whole, which is further pattern-matched against the attribute set pattern {x, y, z}.
2008-08-14* Refactoring: combine functions that take an attribute set andEelco Dolstra
functions that take a single argument (plain lambdas) into one AST node (Function) that contains a Pattern node describing the arguments. Current patterns are single lazy arguments (VarPat) and matching against an attribute set (AttrsPat). This refactoring allows other kinds of patterns to be added easily, such as Haskell-style @-patterns, or list pattern matching.
2008-08-11* Removed the "valid values" feature. Nobody uses it anyway.Eelco Dolstra
