On macOS, `mkdir("x/')` behaves differently than `mkdir("x")` if `x` is
a dangling symlink (the formed succeed while the latter fails). So make
sure we always strip the trailing slash.
(cherry picked from commit 9fcb588dd8)
* docs: unify documentation on search paths
- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
`nix-path` setting
maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation
Few filesystem-related tests rely on PATH_MAX for buffers, and PATH_MAX
is optional in POSIX (and not available on the Hurd). To make them build
and pass, provide a fallback definition of PATH_MAX in case not
available.
Ideally speaking, the tests ought to not unconditionally rely on
PATH_MAX, do alternative strategies (e.g. dynamically allocate buffers,
expand them as needed, etc); OTOH this is test code, so it would be more
work that what it would be worth, so IMHO the define fallback is good
enough.
This should make the test more robust, considering the strange hang
in https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267517233/nixlog/8
`builder` seems to have reached `multi-user.target` before the
SSH connection was established, but this seems to be coincidental.
This does tell us that enforcing this has a minimal cost in terms
of runtime.
Waiting for `multi-user.target` on the client is honestly paranoid,
but flaky tests are very bad for productivity.
Trying to learn more about enigmatic spurious hang at
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/267517233/nixlog/8
- builder1 seems to have started properly
- ssh connection and session are established
- ssh client doesn't exit or client.succeed does not return
for some reason.
Seeing the stdout on the console might give a tiny bit more info.
Meson uses a venerable GNU convention described in
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Scripts_002dbased-Testsuites.html
in which:
> When no test protocol is in use, an exit status of 0 from a test
> script will denote a success, an exit status of 77 a skipped test, an
> exit status of 99 a hard error, and any other exit status will denote
> a failure.
77 is thus what we want, not 99.
* fix NIX_PATH overriding
- test restricted evaluation
- test precedence for setting the search path

Currently, the worker protocol has a version number that we increment
whenever we change something in the protocol. However, this can cause
a collision between Nix PRs / forks that make protocol changes
(e.g. PR #9857 increments the version, which could collide with
another PR). So instead, the client and daemon now exchange a set of
protocol features (such as `auth-forwarding`). They will use the
intersection of the sets of features, i.e. the features they both
support.
Note that protocol features are completely distinct from
`ExperimentalFeature`s.
... as well as match buildReadlineNoMarkdown.
Unfortunately it doesn't support long inputs or multiline inputs
for now.
This needs to make better use of the interacter interface.
Following what is outlined in #10766 refactor the uds-remote-store such
that the member variables (state) don't live in the store itself but in
the config object.
Additionally, the config object includes a new necessary constructor
that takes a scheme & authority.
Tests are commented out because of linking errors with the current config system.
When there is a new config system we can reenable them.
