config.boot.loader.grub.device is just an alias that gets assigned to config.boot.loader.grub.devices.
If config.boot.loader.grub.device is set to null, it will fail with the following error
as described in https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators/issues/339
(cherry picked from commit d0126c0508)
We remove the global rootlog in favor of instantiating the logger as
required in the __init__.py and pass it down as a parameter (of our
AbstractLogger type).
Previously, the XML logging was always present and only created an
output file if a special environment variable was present. We now only
create the XML logger if the environment variable is present, saving us
from logging to XML internally if it is not required.
We add a new logger that allows generating a junit-xml compatible report
listing the subtests used in the nixos integration test. Junit-xml is a
widely used standard for test reports. The report can be used for quick
evaluation of which subtest failed.
We use the newly AbstractLogger class and separate the XML and Terminal
logging that is currently mixed into one class. We restore the old
behavior by introducing a CompositeLogger that takes care of logging
both to terminal and XML.
We do not use the generic "nested" function but introduce a separate
subtest log call. This will later allow us to track subtests and account
logs to specific subtests.
When passing a path to restartTriggers or reloadTriggers, X-Restart/Reload-Triggers
will get populated by the absolute path of the file on the machine where the
config is evaluated. This patch corrects this behavior.
This allows us to set things like dependencies in a way that we can
catch typos at eval time.
So instead of
```nix
systemd.services.foo.wants = [ "bar.service" ];
```
we can write
```nix
systemd.services.foo.wants = [ config.systemd.services.bar.name ];
```
which will throw an error if no such service has been defined.
Not all cases can be done like this (eg template services), but in a lot
of cases this will allow to avoid typos.
There is a matching option on the unit option
(`systemd.units."foo.service".name`) as well.
As the TODO says, this is already included by the script.
If adding a device, including this again here would result in either
two devices being added, or, if they were explicitly named, an error
due to reuse of the name.
- use normal VM nodes for target, with some extra trickery
- rename preBootCommands to postBootCommands to match its actual intent
- rename VMs to installer and target, so they're not all called machine
- set platforms on non-UEFI tests properly
- add missing packages for systemd-boot test
- fix initrd secrets leaking into the store and having wrong paths
Right now the worst case chain of events for building an ISO on Hydra is
- copy everything to squashfs builder
- run squashfs builder
- download squashfs from builder
- compress squashfs
- upload squashfs to S3
- copy squashfs to ISO builder
- run ISO builder
- download ISO from builder
- compress ISO
- upload ISO to S3
This inlines the squashfs build into the ISO build, which makes it
- copy everything to ISO builder
- run ISO builder
- download ISO from builder
- compress ISO
- upload ISO to S3
Which should reduce queue runner load by $alot per ISO, which we have four of on small channels
(one release, one test per arch) and a lot more than four of on large channels (with various desktops)

The goal here was to get the following flake to build and run on
`aarch64-darwin`:
```nix
{ inputs.nixpkgs.url = <this branch>;
outputs = { nixpkgs, ... }: {
checks.aarch64-darwin.default =
nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.nixosTest {
name = "test";
nodes.machine = { };
testScript = "";
};
};
}
```
… and after this change it does. There's no longer a need for the
user to set `nodes.*.nixpkgs.pkgs` or
`nodes.*.virtualisation.host.pkgs` as the correct values are inferred
from the host system.
systemd-boot-builder.py calls nix-env --list-generations which creates
$HOME/.nix-defexpr/channels/nixos if it doesn't exist. This would cause a folder
/homeless-shelter to show up in the final image which in turn breaks nix builds
in the target image if sandboxing is turned off (as /homeless-shelter is never
allowed to exist).
