Before this, the tool for CI would update when nixos-unstable updated,
which is kind of terrible because you don't know when it happens, and it
might break master.
In fact, the tooling _right now_ has a serious bug and shouldn't be used!
This PR addresses this by _pinning_ the tooling in Nixpkgs itself.
Updating the tooling now requires two PRs:
- The first PR to update the tooling source
- (wait for Hydra to build and publish it in nixos-unstable)
- The second PR to update the pinned tooling
In turn you know exactly when the changes are going to take effect.
This change however has additional benefits:
- It makes CI more reproducible, because it doesn't depend on the state
of nixos-unstable anymore
- Updates to the tooling can be tested with the workflow itself,
because PRs that update the pinned tool will be tested on the updated
version
- CI gets a sizable speed boost, because there's no need to download and
evaluate a channel anymore
- It makes it more realistic to move the source of the tool into a
separate repository
- It removes the brittle branch-specific logic that was previously
needed to ensure that release branches use their own version of the
tooling.
nix-build failed because the tests assume to run in a CWD equal to the
project root, which is not the case in the derivation build.
This commit fixes it by not using hacky `..` references to paths,
and instead uses NIX_PATH for all implicit Nix testing path
dependencies.
Also the root of the `lib` path gets passed in from the `default.nix`
file, so all the relative path handling is done by Nix during evaluation
already, and in the Nix store when possible.
The current version of linear (1.22) has incorrect constraints in its
cabal file (which has been corrected in a revision), so it is causing
this test to fail.
This commit just switches to another arbitrary package (cereal) for the
tests.
- Typo
- Rename AttributeRatchet to ToNixpkgsProblem
- Make the compare trait method into a RatchetState method
Co-Authored-By: Philip Taron <philip.taron@gmail.com>
All other functions are in the form of `*{c,C}heckpointBuild*`, so we
deprecate the `mkCheckpointedBuild` function in favor of `mkCheckpointBuild`.
Also address some inconsistencies in the docs: some `buildOutput` should
actually be `incrementalBuildArtifacts`.
This makes the attribute ratchet check logic more re-usable, which will
be used in a future commit.
It also renames the ratchet states to something more intuitive
This commit adds a test for the newly added support for
__structuredAttrs in autoPatchelf(hook). It copied a reasonably
small-closure binary derivation that makes use of autoPatchelf, stripped
it down for the purpose of the test, and check that autoPatchelf
correctly set the interpreter and runpath whether __structuredAttrs is
set to true or not.
Due to the check soon depending on the base branch (see `--base`),
the CI check can't reasonably share all code with a local check.
We can still make a script to run it locally, just not sharing all code.
This derivation verifies that all jobset attributes can be evaluated
under tryEval without producing any non-catchable errors or causing
infinite recursion.
Previously, not passing `--base` would enforce the most strict checks.
While there's currently no actual violation of these stricter checks,
this does not match the previous behavior.
This won't matter once CI passes `--base`, the code handling the
optionality can be removed then.
This implements the option for a gradual migration to stricter checks.
For now this is only done for the check against empty non-auto-called
callPackage arguments, but in the future this can be used to ensure all
new packages make use of `pkgs/by-name`.
This is implemented by adding a `--base <BASE_NIXPKGS>` flag, which then
compares the base nixpkgs against the main nixpkgs version, making sure
that there are no regressions.
The `--version` flag is removed. While it was implemented, it was never
used in CI, so this is fine.
This prepares the code base for the removal of the `--version` flag, to
be replaced with a flag that can specify a base version to compare the
main Nixpkgs against, in order to have gradual transitions to stricter
checks.
This refactoring does:
- Introduce the `version` module that can house the logic to increase
strictness, with a `version::Nixpkgs` struct that contains the
strictness conformity of a single Nixpkgs version
- Make the check return `version::Nixpkgs`
- Handle the behavior of the still-existing `--version` flag with `version::Nixpkgs`
- Introduce an intermediate `process` function to handle the top-level
logic, especially useful in the next commit
Convenience function to run another validation over a successful validation result.
This will be usable in more locations in future commits, making the code
nicer.
This makes it such that these two errors can both be thrown for a single
package:
- The attribute value not being a derivation
- The attribute not being a proper callPackage
The tests had to be adjusted to only throw the error they were testing
for
cudaPackages.cuda_compat: ignore missing libs provided at runtime
cudaPackages.gpus: Jetson should never build by default
cudaPackages.flags: don't build Jetson capabilities by default
cudaPackages: re-introduce filter for pre-existing CUDA redist packages in overrides
cudaPackages: only recurseIntoAttrs for the latest of each major version
cudaPackages.nvccCompatabilities: use GCC 10 through CUDA 11.5 to avoid a GLIBC incompatability
cudaPackages.cutensor: acquire libcublas through cudatoolkit prior to 11.4
cudaPackages.cuda_compat: mark as broken on aarch64-linux if not targeting Jetson
cudaPackages.cutensor_1_4: fix build
cudaPackages: adjust use of autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps
cudaPackages.cuda_nvprof: remove unecessary override to add addOpenGLRunpath
cudaPackages: use getExe' to avoid patchelf warning about missing meta.mainProgram
cudaPackages: fix evaluation with Nix 2.3
cudaPackages: fix platform detection for Jetson/non-Jetson aarch64-linux
python3Packages.tensorrt: mark as broken if required packages are missing
Note: evaluating the name of the derivation will fail if tensorrt is not present,
which is why we wrap the value in `lib.optionalString`.
cudaPackages.flags.getNixSystem: add guard based on jetsonTargets
cudaPackages.cudnn: use explicit path to patchelf
cudaPackages.tensorrt: use explicit path to patchelf
While using very old compilers is a fair usecase, it induces a maintenance churn as
we collect more and more LLVM versions for the LLVM maintainers.
Especially when we need to backport uniform changes to the whole tree,
furthermore, it consumes and waste CI resources.
- passing it as expression gives large error messages
which are not very readable
- this commits puts the file in nix-store
and patches the final program to have access to
the path to the file as env.
- We simply pass this file to nix-instantiate
We have several cross-compilation bugs that show up if
hostPlatform!=buildPlatform yet
hostPlatform.config==buildPlatform.config.
These bugs have appeared and disappeared as we've fiddled with the
definition of equality for platform objects. This commit adds a
clear-cut case where they are *not* equal and never will be, so we
can test it.
Currently the tool prints problems right as it is checking the code
without an intermediate error representation. However for various reasons
it would be beneficial to have an intermediate error type:
- It makes the code cleaner, having all errors in one place
- It allows printing the error in different ways, e.g. for a future
--json mode
This commit prepares for an incremental refactoring for an intermediate
error/problem representation. Most notable is that we want to be able to collect
multiple errors/problems and not just exit on the first one.
We introduce the type alias CheckResult and CheckError (later renamed to
NixpkgsProblem), where CheckError allows collecting multiple
CheckErrors using the utility function flatten_check_results (later
renamed to check_result::sequence)
The write_check_result function is only temporarily introduced to help
refactoring, it's removed again in later commits.
Implement new 'buildTeXEnv' to leverage multi-output packages and provide
__overrideTeXConfig/withPackages for modifying the configuration or adding
packages. The override mechanism is prefixed until stabilized.
Allows detecting whether attributes are overridden in all-packages.nix.
In a future commit we'll use this to detect empty arguments being set in
all-packages.nix and complain about that.
When specifying the `builder` attribute in `stdenv.mkDerivation`, this
will be effectively transformed into
builtins.derivation {
builder = stdenv.shell;
args = [ "-e" builder ];
}
This also means that `default-builder.sh` is never sourced and as a
result it's not guaranteed that `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` is set to a correct
location[1].
Also, we need to source `.attrs.sh` to source `$stdenv`. So, the
following is done now:
* If `$NIX_ATTRS_SH_FILE` points to a correct location, then use it.
Directly using `.attrs.sh` is problematic for `nix-shell(1)` usage
(see previous commit for more context), so prefer the environment
variable if possible.
* Otherwise, if `.attrs.sh` exists, then use it. See [1] for when this
can happen.
* If neither applies, it can be assumed that `__structuredAttrs` is
turned off and thus nothing needs to be done.
[1] It's possible that it doesn't exist at all - in case of Nix 2.3 or
it can point to a wrong location on older Nix versions with a bug in
`__structuredAttrs`.
This fixes a bug where `patchShebangs` crashes when trying to patch
files that contain only a shebang (e.g. `#!/bin/bash`) (and nothing
else) and do not end with a newline.
Such file can be produced using `printf "#!/bin/bash" > example` or
`echo -n "#!/bin/bash" > example`.
I don't understand why one would want to create such files, as they do
literally nothing, but the chromium tarball we are using started
shipping some 🫠

We seem to have enough tests to run into this now:
error: creating symlink from '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/gcroots/profiles' to '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/profiles': File exists
On Darwin, /tmp is sometimes a symlink to /private/tmp, which couldn't
be handled before:
error: access to canonical path '/private/var/folders/xp/9_ry6h9x6l9gh_g32qspz0_40000gp/T/.tmpFbcNO0' is forbidden in restricted mode
This both fixes that and adds a test to make sure it can't happen again

ignore `llvmPackages_latest`, it's an alias and it'll be a duplicate.
ignore `llvmPackages_git`, it's not supposed to be used in nixpkgs and
may be broken.
This introduces the `pkgs/by-name` directory as proposed by RFC 140.
Included are:
- The implementation to add packages defined in that directory to the
top-level package scope
- Contributer documentation on how to add packages to it
- A GitHub Actions workflow to check the structure of it on all PRs
most tests use debian-devscripts' hardening-check, so only work on
ELF systems and can only detect a limited subset of flags.
some extra tests actually execute fortify-protected programs and
should be slightly more universally applicable.
- Better filesystem case-sensitivity heuristic
We shouldn't assume that Linux is always case-sensitive.
- Don't include case-sensitive filename in tree
Was used for tests, but this broke channel updates because there's a
check to make sure there's no case-sensitive files!

This commit does the following two things:
1. Changes the Haskell package used in the extraDependencies test from
releaser to conduit. The reason for this is that conduit is more
of a "core" package in Haskell, and it is more likely to always be
working. (If conduit is not compiling, then large chunks of Hackage
won't be working.)
2. Tighten up the GHCi test to actually use the package from
extraDependencies. It appears that GHCi can fail to import the
package from extraDependencies, and that doesn't cause GHCi to
return an error code, which means the test isn't actually testing
anything.
This new change makes it so that if the package from
extraDependencies is actually not included for some reason, then
this shellFor test should fail.
