`legacyPackages` of nixpkgs trigger eval errors in `hasContent`, causing
the whole `legacyPackages` being skipped. We should treat it as
has-content in that case.

Split `common.sh` into the vars and functions definitions vs starting
the daemon (and possibly other initialization logic). This way,
`init.sh` can just `source` the former. Trying to start the daemon
before `nix.conf` is written will fail because `nix daemon` requires
`--experimental-features 'nix-command'`.
`killDaemon` is idempotent, so it's safe to call when no daemon is
running.
`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` use the PID (which is now exported to
subshells) to decide whether there is work to be done, rather than
`NIX_REMOTE`, which might conceivably be set differently even if a
daemon is running.
`startDaemon` and `killDaemon` can save/restore the old `NIX_REMOTE` as
`NIX_REMOTE_OLD`.
`init.sh` kills daemon before deleting everything (including the daemon
socket).
`init.sh` is tested on its own. We used to do that. I deleted it in
4720853129 but I am not sure why. Better
to just restore it; at one point working on this every other test
passed, so seems good to check whether `init.sh` can be run twice.
We don't *need* to run `init.sh` twice, but I want to try to make our
tests as robust as possible so that manual debugging (where tests for
better or worse might be run ways that we didn't expect) is less
fragile.
It would be incorrect to say that the `sourceInfo` has an `outPath`
that isn't the root. `sourceInfo` is about the root, whereas only
the flake may not be about the root. Thanks Eelco for pointing that
out.
- `nixpkgsFor` does all of native, static, cross, and the different stdenvs.
- The main Nix derivation is no longer duplicated for static.
- DRY nixpkgs.lib and lib.genAttrs calls.
Adding a test to ensure there is no regression.
The tests that are split out of `tests/build.sh` are ones that don't yet
work with CA derivation. I have not yet evaluated whether they should or
not.
This behavior, reported missing in issue #4661, already got fixed in
PR #4818, but didn't get a test case then.
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

For frameworks it's important that structures are as lazy as possible
to prevent infinite recursions, performance issues and errors that
aren't related to the thing to evaluate. As a consequence, they have
to emit more attributes than strictly (sic) necessary.
However, these attributes with empty values are not useful to the user
so we omit them.
Previously, getDefaultNixPath was called too early: at initialisation
time, before CLI and config have been processed, when `restrictEval` and
`pureEval` both have their default value `false`. Call it when
initialising the EvalState instead, and use `setDefault`.
Add an `$` at the end of the `grep` regex. Without it, `checkRef foo`
would always imply `checkRef foo.drv`. We want to tell these situations
apart to more precisely test what is going on.
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.
This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.
Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.
The original `builtins.getContext` test from
1d757292d0 would have caught this. The
problem is that b30be6b450 adding
`builtins.appendContext` modified that test to make it test too much at
once, rather than adding a separate test.
We now have isolated tests for both functions, and also a property test
showing everything put together (in the form of an eta rule for strings
with context). This is better coverage and properly reproduces the bug.
