Rationale
---------
Currently, tests are hard to discover. For instance, someone updating
`dovecot` might not notice that the interaction of `dovecot` with
`opensmtpd` is handled in the `opensmtpd.nix` test.
And even for someone updating `opensmtpd`, it requires manual work to go
check in `nixos/tests` whether there is actually a test, especially
given not so many packages in `nixpkgs` have tests and this is thus most
of the time useless.
Finally, for the reviewer, it is much easier to check that the “Tested
via one or more NixOS test(s)” has been checked if the file modified
already includes the list of relevant tests.
Implementation
--------------
Currently, this commit only adds the metadata in the package. Each
element of the `meta.tests` attribute is a derivation that, when it
builds successfully, means the test has passed (ie. following the same
convention as NixOS tests).
Future Work
-----------
In the future, the tools could be made aware of this `meta.tests`
attribute, and for instance a `--with-tests` could be added to
`nix-build` so that it also builds all the tests. Or a `--without-tests`
to build without all the tests. @Profpatsch described in his NixCon talk
such systems.
Another thing that would help in the future would be the possibility to
reasonably easily have cross-derivation nix tests without the whole
NixOS VM stack. @7c6f434c already proposed such a system.
This RFC currently handles none of these concerns. Only the addition of
`meta.tests` as metadata to be used by maintainers to remember to run
relevant tests.
* journald: forward message to syslog by default if a syslog implementation is installed
* added a test to ensure rsyslog is receiving messages when expected
* added rsyslogd tests to release.nix
- added package option to specify which version of redmine
- added themes option back in to allow specifying redmine themes
- added plugins option back in to allow specifying redmine plugins

From commit b63f65aea0:
I used tmpfiles.d instead of activation snippets to create the logs.
It's good enough for upstream and other distros; it's probably good
enough for us.
The "reboot-wtmp" subtest fails because it it assumes that there is a
reboot record even on the initial boot. This is only the case if wtmp is
created within the activation script, but the implementation now uses
tmpfiles.d, so the creation of the file is done at a much later stage.
Apart from that, if you think about the state after the installation as
"first boot", using the term "reboot" wouldn't probably make sense
either.
So in our subtest, we now reboot the machine and check the wtmp record
afterwards as we did before.

The test failed on Hydra in one instance because a request to the
server was sent before indexing was finished.
Retry the request until it succeeds (or times out).
The test failed in one run on Hydra, logs look like
dhcpcd changed ipv6 routing at just the wrong time.
Disable dhcpcd. It's not needed, the test uses static IPs anyway.
Test didn't run because it tried to create a VM with 4096M RAM
but qemu-system-i386 has a hard 2047M memory limit.
- reduce memory to 2047M on i686.
- increase timeout 300s -> 1800s because the tests are much slower
on i686 and timed out.
The `pkgs.yabar` package is relatively old (2016-04) and contains
several issues fixed on master. `yabar-unstable` containsa recent master
build with several fixes and a lot of new features (I use
`yabar-unstable` for some time now and had no issues with it).
In the upstream bugtracker some bugs could be fixed on ArchLinux by
simply installing `yabar-git` (an AUR package which builds a recent
master).
To stabilize the module, the option `programs.yabar.package` now
defaults to `pkgs.yabar-unstable` and yields a warning with several
linked issues that are known on `pkgs.yabar`.
The test has been refactored as well to ensure that `yabar` actually
starts (and avoid non-deterministic random success) and takes a
screenshot of a very minimalistic configuration on IceWM.
Fixes#46899
This attempts to improve stability of the test by using existing
services for miniupnpd and transmission.
It also uses explicit addresses for the network interfaces so that the
external IP addresses are valid internet addresses (thus fixing
validation problems from upnpc).
Also disable eth0 from being used to transfer torrents over without that
being the intention.
A sporadic failure occured on Hydra because a request was sent
to smtpd after the systemd unit was started, but before the daemon
was actually listening. Fix by checking for open ports first.

The switch to lightdm as default display manager in #30890
broke eval of the flatpak test. Since the test uses the
auto display manager (lightdm), gdm must now be explicitly disabled.
Since 1b11fdd0df the test VM
depends on some extra packages to build the system to be installed.
This broke the installer test as it tried to download/build these
packages in a sandbox.
Switch from slim to lightdm as the display-manager.
If plasma5 is used as desktop-manager use sdddm.
If gnome3 is used as desktop-manager use gdm.

The wallpaper used is *structurally compatible* with the other one,
meaning that the logo is at the same location, and not bigger.
It has one drawback: the logo is brighter, which clashes with the grub

The test sporadically failed on hydra when a request was made
before the service was actually listening on its port.
Explicitly wait for the port to open.

This bumps Hydra to the latest revision available. As Hydra doesn't have
a release model (and therefore no tags) ATM, the derivation will pin
against the actual git revision and the date of the commit in the
derivation name.
Additionally the following changes have been made:
* Dropped `postUnpack` phase. It is useful when working with the Hydra
source (and no dirty changes shall be used in `release.nix`, but is has
no use in `nixpkgs`).
* Added myself as maintainer to have more folks available in case of
future breakage.
* Implemented support for Nix 2.0 and `unstable` (currently 2.1):
Since 1672bcd230447f1ce0c3291950bdd9a662cee974 in NixOS/nix the
evaluator differentiates between `settings` and `evalSettings`.
Previously `restrictEval` in `hydra-eval-jobs.cc` has been set in
`settings`, this doesn't work anymore in Nix 2.1 and is therefore
incompatible to Nix 2.0 on an API level.
To resolve this, the flag `isGreaterNix20` parses the version string
of `pkgs.nix` and applies a patch if nix.version<=2.0.
Furthermore the Hydra build with Nix 2.1 requires `boost` as build input
which is not needed for Nix 2.0. To avoid unnecessary increase in the
closure size this library will only used as build input for
nix.version>2.0.
* Fixed the NixOS test for `hydra`:
disabled binary cache to allow sandbox builds (otherwise it would
query `cache.nixos.org` during the Hydra build inside the test).
Additionally the trivial.nix jobset required simplification (as done
in NixOS/hydra, e.g. tests/api-test.nix) as bash is not available in
the build sandbox as builder (even when adding pkgs.bash to
systemPackages).
The easiest workaround to confirm a the functionality of a jobset
without importing nixpkgs is to use the default shell /bin/sh which
is mounted from `pkgs.busybox` into the build env
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/44841#discussion_r209751972) in the
VM and a named pipe to create $out.

The web_access.patch would no longer apply.
It disabled a check that required the static files
for the web UI to be owned by the user the daemon runs as
(not root, so it doesn't work well with nix).
Besides updating netdata, this commit removes that patch,
changes the netdata service config to set the "web files owner/group"
option to "root" and adds a test that checks that the web UI is being served.
This allows the web files to be owned by root without patching.

- complies with available options in cfssl v1.3.2
- uid and gid 299 reserved in ids.nix

Since 4f6df27aee, nix.useSandbox defaults
to true which causes the Nix build within the containers-imperative test
to fail while trying to hardlink files into the chroot:
link("/nix/store/foo", "/nix/store/bar.drv.chroot/nix/store/foo")
= -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
The reason this happens is that the hosts store is mounted using 9p and
an overlayfs is mounted on top, so even if we would disable the tmpfs
for the upper directory the hardlink would still cross filesystem
boundaries, which then fails with the above error code.
I haven't yet seen any other test which fails in a similar way, which
might be because building within VM tests is not very common and the
installer tests build in a separate store, so they're not affected.

Note that the naming of the attributes is consistent with upstream.

Pointless renames considered harmful. All they do is force people to

the ability to switch between unstable and stable versions of NixOS.

In 0c7c1660f7 I have set allowSubstitutes
to false, which avoided the substitution of the certificates.
Unfortunately substitution may still happen later when the certificate
is merged with the CA bundle. So the merged CA bundle might be
substituted from a binary cache but the certificate itself is built
locally, which could result in a different certificate in the bundle.
So instead of adding just yet another workaround, I've now hardcoded all
the certificates and keys in a separate file. This also moves
letsencrypt.nix into its own directory so we don't mess up
nixos/tests/common too much.
This was long overdue and should finally make the dependency graph for
the ACME test more deterministic.

Since IP address options were changed for 18.03, eval has failed with:
"The option `networking.interfaces.eth1.subnetMask' is used but not defined."
although this option is not used at all in nixos anymore.
The misleading error message seems to be generated from evaluating warnings
for `mkRemovedOptionModule ["subnetMask"]` which apparently broke here
when this test inherited network.interfaces from one VM config to another.

If one of the certificates of the chain gets substituted from a binary

Ideas for the future:
- Expand on control via netcat
- Configure a circuit of nodes exercise various configs (e.g., check
that a client node can access a hidden www service). Needs setting up
authoritative directory servers &c.
This change adds NixOS tests for the MPD (Music Player Daemon) module.
Tests include:
- Playing audio locally using ALSA directly.
- Playing audio locally using PulseAudio (backed by ALSA).
- Playing audio from an external client.
- Rejecting an external client when it's not explicitly allowed (default configuration).

A script is used to create a project, and configure a jobset. This
jobset fetches a local file containing a trivial Nix expression. The
test script makes sure this derivation has been successfully built by
Hydra.
While building the container there are a few occasions where stdenvNoCC
is used underneath. During the last staging merge, some change now tries
to build texinfo during the test while building stdenvNoCC.
With this change, I'm adding stdenvNoCC to the closure to make sure that
even when we have future stdenv changes, it doesn't break (well, except
if we do have another variation like stdenvNoCC that overrides stdenv).
I haven't bisected the exact change, but I'd suspect that it could be
one of the commits in #39457.

BIND doesn't allow the options section (or any section I'd guess) to be
defined more than once, so whenever you want to set an additional option
you're stuck using weird hacks like this:
services.bind.forwarders = lib.mkForce [ "}; empty-zones-enable no; #" ];
This basically exploits the fact that values coming from the module
options aren't escaped and thus works in a similar vain to how SQL
injection works.
Another option would be to just set configFile to a file that includes
all the options, including zones. That obviously makes the configuration
way less extensible and more awkward to use with the module system.
To make sure this change does work correctly I added a small test just
for that. The test could use some improvements, but better to have a
test rather than none at all. For a future improvement the test could be
merged with the NSD test, because both use the same zone file format.

opposition, I'm hereby adding this to master.

`xsslock` (which was originally packaged in 6cb1d1aaaf)
is a simple screensaver which connects a given screen locker (e.g.
`i3lock`) with `logind`. Whenever `loginctl lock-sessions` is invoked
the locker will be used to lock the screen. This works with its power
management features (e.g. `lid switch`) as well, so the PC can be locked
automatically when the lid is closed.
The module can be used like this:
```
{
services.xserver.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.enable = true;
programs.xss-lock.lockerCommand = "i3lock";
}

`statsd` is a daemon written in `node` to gather statistics over UDP.

* Issue a TCP command to check the health of the `statsd` server.
* Simple script to check if `statsd` receives data over UDP and confirms
the basic functionality of the TCP interface on `8126` for admin

The original `nexus` derivation required `/run/sonatype-work/nexus3`
which explicitly depended on the NixOS path structure.
This would break `nexus` for everyone using `nixpkgs` on a non-NixOS
system, additionally the module never created `/run/sonatype-work`, so
the systemd unit created in `services.nexus` fails as well. The issue
wasn't actively known as the `nixos/nexus` test wasn't registered in
Hydra (see #40257).
This patch contains the following changes:
* Adds `tests.nexus` to `release.nix` to run the test on Hydra.
* Makes JVM parameters configurable: by default all JVM options were located
in `result/bin/nexus.vmoptions` which made it quite hard to patch
these parameters. Now it's possible to override all parameters by
running `VM_OPTS_FILE=custom-nexus.vmoptions ./result/bin/nexus run`
(after patching the `nexus` shell script), additionally it's possible
to override these parameters with `services.nexus.vmoptions`.
* Bumped Nexus from 3.5.1 to 3.11.0
* Run the `nexus` test on Hydra with `callTest` in `nixos/release.nix`,
furthermore the test checks if the UI is available on the specified
port.
* Added myself as maintainer for the NixOS test and the package to have
some more people in case of further breakage.
* Added sufficient disk space to the `nexus` test, otherwise the service
fails with the following errors:

This introduces an option that allows us to turn off stateful generation
of Diffie-Hellman parameters, which in some way is still "stateful" as
the generated DH params file is non-deterministic.
However what we can avoid with this is to have an increased surface for
failures during system startup, because generation of the parameters is
done during build-time.
Aside from adding a NixOS VM test it also restructures the type of the
security.dhparams.params option, so that it's a submodule.
A new defaultBitSize option is also there to allow users to set a
system-wide default.
I added a release notes entry that described what has changed and also
included a few notes for module developers using this module, as the
first usage already popped up in NixOS/nixpkgs#39507.
Thanks to @Ekleog and @abbradar for reviewing.
This allows to set the default bit size for all the Diffie-Hellman
parameters defined in security.dhparams.params and it's particularly
useful so that we can set it to a very low value in tests (so it doesn't
take ages to generate).
Regardless for the use in testing, this also has an impact in production
systems if the owner wants to set all of them to a different size than
2048, they don't need to set it individually for every params that are
set.
I've added a subtest to the "dhparams" NixOS test to ensure this is
working properly.

When trying to run NSD to serve the root zone, one gets the following
error message:
error: illegal name: '.'
This is because the name of the zone is used as the derivation name for
building the zone file. However, Nix doesn't allow derivation names
starting with a period.
So whenever the zone is "." now, the file name generated is "root"
instead of ".".
I also added an assertion that makes sure the user sets
services.nsd.rootServer, otherwise NSD will fail at runtime because it
prevents serving the root zone without an explicit compile-time option.
Tested this by adding a root zone to the "nsd" NixOS VM test.

Some time ago I fixed the broken package `osquery` (see #39336).
I had to test the package manually by starting the daemon locally,
however this doesn't ensure that the module is still functional.
In order to cover the package *and* the integration with the NixOS
module I thought that adding a testcase might be the best idea.
The current testcase does the following things:
* Starts an `osqueryd` service in a test machine with customized logger
path and PID file
* Ensures that the `osqueryd.service` unit is running
* Checks if the customized flags (`pidfile`, `logger_path`) are applied
to `osquery`.
* Performs a simple test query against the `etc_hosts` database to check
if the basic funcitonality of `osquery` (storing system information into
a database) works fine.

The Nix expression here is really hard to read with multiple (and
unnecessarily) nested lets and it also generates attribute names based
on the derivation generated by makeTest, which will result in these
attribute names:
* vm-test-run-predictableInterfaceNames
* vm-test-run-predictableInterfaceNames-with-networkd
* vm-test-run-unpredictableInterfaceNames
* vm-test-run-unpredictableInterfaceNames-with-networkd
With the refactor the attribute names are now:
* predictable
* predictableNetworkd
* unpredictable
* unpredictableNetworkd
So now the code is even shorter and IMHO slightly more readable.

store) would have been merged instead of #22634 (which we have now).
Luckily we can still change that and this change gives the user the
option to put the dhparams into the Nix store.
Beside of the more obvious advantages pointed out here, this also
effects test runtime if more services are starting to use this (for
example see #39507 and #39288), because generating DH params could take
a long time depending on the bit size which adds up to test runtime.
If we generate the DH params in a separate derivation, subsequent test
runs won't need to wait for DH params generation during bootup.
Of course, tests could still mock this by force-disabling the service
and adding a service or activation script that places pre-generated DH
params in /var/lib/dhparams but this would make tests less readable and
the workaround would have to be made for each test affected.
Note that the 'stateful' option is still true by default so that we are
backwards-compatible with existing systems.

We're going to implement an option which allows us to turn off stateful
handling of Diffie-Hellman parameter files by putting them into the Nix
store.
However, modules now might need a way to reference these files, so we
add a now path option to every param specified, which carries a
read-only value of the path where to find the corresponding DH params
file.
I've also improved the description of security.dhparams.params a bit so
that it uses <warning/> and <note/>.
The NixOS VM test also reflects this change and checks whether the old
way to specify the bit size still works.

We're going to make changes to the dhparams module so we really want to
make sure we don't break it, so having a NixOS VM test is to make sure
we don't blow things up and can iterate on it.

xdotool failed in rare cases when a window was already created
but not yet decorated by the window manager.

HA doesn't mind the configuration being JSON instead of YAML but since YAML is
the official language, use that as it allows users to easily exchange config
data with other parties in the community.
The commit c6f7d43678 changed the system
attribute to be below config.nixpkgs.localSystem, but the test still
uses the old attribute.
I have not tested whether the test actually succeeds but just checked
whether evaluation works and it evaluates successfully now.

This patch is heavily inspired by bd0d8ed807 which added
a setcap wrapper for `mtr` in order to allow running `mtr` without
`sudo`. The need for the capability `cap_net_raw` that can be registered using
`setcap` has been documented in the Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Capabilities#iftop
A simple testcase has been added which starts two machines, one with a
setcap wrapper for `iftop`, one without. Both testcases monitor the
bandwidth usage of the machine using the options `-t -s 1` once, the
machine with setcap wrapper is expected to succeed, the `iftop` on the
machine without setcap wrapper is expected to return a non-zero exit
code.
