From 25300c0ecdedcd8720b996b41e78dfe1037bfcff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?F=C3=A9lix=20Baylac=20Jacqu=C3=A9?= Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2023 20:01:36 +0100 Subject: Treat empty env var paths as unset We make sure the env var paths are actually set (ie. not "") before sending them to the canonicalization function. If we forget to do so, the user will end up facing a puzzled failed assertion internal error. We issue a non-failing warning as a stop-gap measure. We could want to revisit this to issue a detailed failing error message in the future. --- src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc | 2 +- src/libstore/globals.cc | 14 +++++++------- src/libutil/util.cc | 12 ++++++++++++ src/libutil/util.hh | 4 ++++ 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc b/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc index a961d8eed..1c0860993 100644 --- a/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc +++ b/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc @@ -2063,7 +2063,7 @@ void LocalDerivationGoal::runChild() /* The tmpDir in scope points at the temporary build directory for our derivation.
