It appears as through the fetch attribute, which
is simply a variant with 3 elements, implicitly
converts boolean arguments to integers. One must
use Explicit<bool> to correctly populate it with
a boolean. This was missing from the implementation,
and resulted in clearly boolean JSON fields being
treated as numbers.
libc++10 seems to be stricter on what it allows in variant conversion.
I'm not sure what the rules are here, but this is the minimal change
needed to get through the compilation errors.
Sometimes it's necessary to fetch a git repository at a revision and
it's unknown which ref contains the revision in question. An example
would be a Cargo.lock which only provides the URL and the revision when
using a git repository as build input.
However it's considered a bad practice to perform a full checkout of a
repository since this may take a lot of time and can eat up a lot of
disk space. This patch makes a full checkout explicit by adding an
`allRefs` argument to `builtins.fetchGit` which fetches all refs if
explicitly set to true.
Closes#2409
A common pitfall when using e.g. `builtins.fetchGit` is the `fatal: not
a tree object`-error when trying to fetch a revision of a git-repository
that isn't on the `master` branch and no `ref` is specified.
In order to make clear what's the problem, I added a simple check
whether the revision in question exists and if it doesn't a more
meaningful error-message is displayed:
```
nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/owner/myrepo"; rev = "<commit not on master>"; }
moderror: --- Error -------------------------------------------------------------------- nix
Cannot find Git revision 'bf1cc5c648e6aed7360448a3745bb2fe4fbbf0e9' in ref 'master' of repository 'https://gitlab.com/Ma27/nvim.nix'! Please make sure that the rev exists on the ref you've specified or add allRefs = true; to fetchGit.
```
Closes#2431
We embrace virtual the rest of the way, and get rid of the
`assert(false)` 0-param constructors.
We also list config base classes first, so the constructor order is
always:
1. all the configs
2. all the stores
Each in the same order
Move clearValue inside Value
mkInt instead of setInt
mkBool instead of setBool
mkString instead of setString
mkPath instead of setPath
mkNull instead of setNull
mkAttrs instead of setAttrs
mkList instead of setList*
mkThunk instead of setThunk
mkApp instead of setApp
mkLambda instead of setLambda
mkBlackhole instead of setBlackhole
mkPrimOp instead of setPrimOp
mkPrimOpApp instead of setPrimOpApp
mkExternal instead of setExternal
mkFloat instead of setFloat
Add note that the static mk* function should be removed eventually
PRs #4370 and #4348 had a bad interaction in that the second broke the fist
one in a not trivial way.
The issue was that since #4348 the logic for detecting whether a
derivation output is already built requires some logic that was specific
to the `LocalStore`.
It happens though that most of this logic could be upstreamed to any `Store`,
which is what this commit does.
This ignore was here because `queryPartialDrvOutputMap` was used both
1. as a cache to avoid having to re-read the derivation (when gc-ing for
example), and
2. as the source of truth for ca realisations
The use-case 2. required it to be able to work even when the derivation
wasn't there anymore (see https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4138).
However, this use-case is now handled by `queryRealisation`, meaning
that we can safely error out if the derivation isn't there anymore
`buildPaths` can be called even for stores where it's not defined in case it's
bound to be a no-op.
The “no-op detection” mechanism was only detecting the case wher `buildPaths`
was called on a set of (non-drv) paths that were already present on the store.
This commit extends this mechanism to also detect the case where `buildPaths`
is called on a set of derivation outputs which are already built on the store.
This only works with the ca-derivations flag. It could be possible to
extend this to also work without it, but it would add quite a bit of
complexity, and it's not used without it anyways.
Extend `FSAccessor::readFile` to allow not checking that the path is a
valid one, and rewrite `readInvalidDerivation` using this extended
`readFile`.
Several places in the code use `readInvalidDerivation`, either because
they need to read a derivation that has been written in the store but
not registered yet, or more generally to prevent a deadlock because
`readDerivation` tries to lock the state, so can't be called from a
place where the lock is already held.
However, `readInvalidDerivation` implicitely assumes that the store is a
`LocalFSStore`, which isn't always the case.
The concrete motivation for this is that it's required for `nix copy
--from someBinaryCache` to work, which is tremendously useful for the
tests.
Because of a too eager refactoring, `addTextToStore` used to throw an
error because the input wasn't a valid nar.
Partially revert that refactoring to wrap the text into a proper nar
(using `dumpString`) to make this method work again
Rather than storing the derivation outputs as `drvPath!outputName` internally,
store them as `drvHashModulo!outputName` (or `outputHash!outputName` for
fixed-output derivations).
This makes the storage slightly more opaque, but enables an earlier
cutoff in cases where a fixed-output dependency changes (but keeps the
same output hash) − same as what we already do for input-addressed
derivations.
Add a new table for tracking the derivation output mappings.
We used to hijack the `DerivationOutputs` table for that, but (despite its
name), it isn't a really good fit:
- Its entries depend on the drv being a valid path, making it play badly with
garbage collection and preventing us to copy a drv output without copying
the whole drv closure too;
- It dosen't guaranty that the output path exists;
By using a different table, we can experiment with a different schema better
suited for tracking the output mappings of CA derivations.
(incidentally, this also fixes#4138)
For each known realisation, store:
- its output
- its output path
This comes with a set of needed changes:
- New `realisations` module declaring the types needed for describing
these mappings
- New `Store::registerDrvOutput` method registering all the needed informations
about a derivation output (also replaces `LocalStore::linkDeriverToPath`)
- new `Store::queryRealisation` method to retrieve the informations for a
derivations
This introcudes some redundancy on the remote-store side between
`wopQueryDerivationOutputMap` and `wopQueryRealisation`.
However we might need to keep both (regardless of backwards compat)
because we sometimes need to get some infos for all the outputs of a
derivation (where `wopQueryDerivationOutputMap` is handy), but all the
stores can't implement it − because listing all the outputs of a
derivation isn't really possible for binary caches where the server
doesn't allow to list a directory.
