This is good in general (see how the other libraries also have long had
it, since 49fe9592a4) but in particular
needed to fix the NetBSD build.
(cherry picked from commit b23273f6a2)
Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

(cherry picked from commit 91b6833686)
The basic idea here is to separate a few intertwined notions:
1. Not all "run bash tests" are "install tests"
2. Not all "run bash tests" use `tests/functional/init.sh`, or any
pre-test initialization at all.
This will used in the next commit when we have a test that check unit
test golden master data.
Also, move our custom `PS4` from the test to the test runner, as it is
part of how we want to display the tests, not the test themselves.

As discussed in our last meeting, we need a bit more time, but we are
"time boxing" the work left to do to ensure there is not unbounded
delay.
Rather than putting it back underneath `flakes`, though, put it
underneath its own `fetch-tree` experimental feature (which `flakes`
includes/implies). This signals our commitment to the plan to stabilize
it first without waiting to go through the rest of Flakes, and also will
give users a "release candidate" when we get closer to stabilization.
This reverts commit 4112dd1fc9.
Enables shebang usage of nix shell. All arguments with `#! nix` get
added to the nix invocation. This implementation does NOT set any
additional arguments other than placing the script path itself as the
first argument such that the interpreter can utilize it.
Example below:
```
#!/usr/bin/env nix
#! nix shell --quiet
#! nix nixpkgs#bash
#! nix nixpkgs#shellcheck
#! nix nixpkgs#hello
#! nix --ignore-environment --command bash
# shellcheck shell=bash
set -eu
shellcheck "$0" || exit 1
function main {
hello
echo 0:"$0" 1:"$1" 2:"$2"
}
"$@"
```
fix: include programName usage
EDIT: For posterity I've changed shellwords to shellwords2 in order
not to interfere with other changes during a rebase.
shellwords2 is removed in a later commit. -- roberth
* Fix boost::bad_format_string exception in builtins.addErrorContext
The message passed to addTrace was incorrectly being used as a format
string and this this would cause an exception when the string contained
a '%', which can be hit in places where arbitrary file paths are
interpolated.
* add test
Before it returned a list of JSON objects with store object information,
including the path in each object. Now, it maps the paths to JSON
objects with the metadata sans path.
This matches how `nix derivation show` works.
Quite hillariously, none of our existing functional tests caught this
change to `path-info --json` though they did use it. So just new
functional tests need to be added.
This adds simple tests of the commit signature verification mechanism of
fetchGit and its flake input wrapper.
OpenSSH is added to the build dependencies since it's needed to create
a key when testing the functionality. It is neither a built- nor a
runtime dependency.
When doing local builds, we get phase reporting lines in the log file,
they look like '@nix {"action":"setPhase","phase":"unpackPhase"}'.
With the ssh-ng protocol, we do have access to these messages, but since we
are only including messages of type resBuildLogLine in the logs, the phase
information does not end up in the log file.
The phase reporting could probably be improved altoghether (it looks like it
is kind of accidental that these JSON messages for phase reporting show up
but others don't, just because they are actually emitted by nixpkgs' stdenv),
but as a first step I propose to make ssh-ng behave in the same way as local builds do.
Adding the inputPath as a positional feature uncovered this bug.
As positional argument forms were discarded from the `expectedArgs`
list, their closures were not. When the `.completer` closure was then
called, part of the surrounding object did not exist anymore.
This didn't cause an issue before, but with the new call to
`getEvalState()` in the "inputs" completer in nix/flake.cc, a segfault
was triggered reproducibly on invalid memory access to the `this`
pointer, which was always 0.
The solution of splicing the argument forms into a new list to extend
their lifetime is a bit of a hack, but I was unable to get the "nicer"
iterator-based solution to work.
End goal: make `(mkDerivation x).drvPath` behave like a non-DrvDeep
context.
Problem: users won't be able to recover the DrvDeep behavior when
nixpkgs makes this change.
Solution: add this primop.
The new primop is fairly simple, and is supposed to complement other
existing ones (`builtins.storePath`, `builtins.outputOf`) so there are
simple ways to construct strings with every type of string context
element.
(It allows nothing we couldn't already do with `builtins.getContext` and `builtins.appendContext`, which is also true of those other two primops.)
This was originally in #8595, but then it was proposed to land some doc
changes separately. So now the code changes proper is just moved to
this, and the doc will be done in that.

- Remove some stray saved error messages that didn't correspond to any
test, because they were renamed in
d11faa01b5.
- Need `--eval` in test failure test in order to get in "read-only" mode
where we don't try to write to the store. (The other tests already do
this.)
- Need `--strict` so top-level attribute sets are still forced, like
they are without `--eval`.
Two changes:
* The (probably unintentional) hack to handle paths as tarballs has
been removed. This is almost certainly not what users expect and is
inconsistent with flakeref handling everywhere else.
* The hack to support scp-style Git URLs has been moved to the Git
fetcher, so it's now supported not just by fetchTree but by flake
inputs.
Add a new experimental `impure-env` setting that is a key-value list of
environment variables to inject into FOD derivations that specify the
corresponding `impureEnvVars`.
This allows clients to make use of this feature (without having to change the
environment of the daemon itself) and might eventually deprecate the current
behaviour (pick whatever is in the environment of the daemon) as it's more
principled and might prevent information leakage.
Additionally this skipping of the building is reimplemented to be a bit
more robust and use the same idioms as the functionality for skipping
the tests. In particular, it will now work even if the source files
exist, so we can do this during development too.
I think the our `flake.nix` is currently too large and too scary looking.
I think this matters --- if Nix cannot dog-food itself in a way that is
elegant, why should other people have confidence that their own code can
be elegant and easy to maintain?
We could do this at many points in time, but I think around now, when we
are thinking about stabilizing parts of Flakes, is an especially good
time.
This is a first step to make the `flake.nix` smaller, and make
individual components responsible for their own packaging. I hope we can
do this many more follow-ups like it, until the top-level `flake.nix` is
very small and just coordinates between other things.
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/
```
