An edge case was allowed when it shouldn't be: A package defined in
`pkgs/by-name` could be overridden in `all-packages.nix` if it was of
the form `callPackage (<expr>) { <non-empty> }`.
This is not right, it's required that the first argument be the path
matching the package to be overridden.
This adds a test to check that a commit like 0a3dab4af3 would fail CI
After doing some improvements to the `pkgs/by-name` check I discovered
that sbcl shouldn't have been allowed in `pkgs/by-name` after all as is.
Specifically, the requirement is that if `pkgs/by-name/sb/sbcl` exists,
the definition of the `sbcl` attribute must look like
sbcl = callPackage ../by-name/sb/sbcl/package.nix { ... };
However it currently is an alias like
sbcl = sbcl_2_4_1;
This wasn't detected before because `sbcl_2_4_1` was semantically
defined using `callPackage`:
sbcl_2_4_1 = wrapLisp {
pkg = callPackage ../development/compilers/sbcl { version = "2.4.1"; };
faslExt = "fasl";
flags = [ "--dynamic-space-size" "3000" ];
};
However this doesn't syntactically match what is required.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/285089 I introduced syntactic
checks for exactly this, but they were only used for packages not
already in `pkgs/by-name`.
Only now that I'm doing the refactoring to also use this check for
`pkgs/by-name` packages this problem is noticed.
While introducing this new check is technically an increase in
strictness, and therefore would justify adding a new ratchet, I consider
this case to be rare enough that we don't need to do that.
This commit introduces a test to prevent such regressions in the
future
Moving sbcl back out of `pkgs/by-name` will be done when the pinned CI is updated
- Detect manual use of _internalCallByNamePackageFile for packages in
`pkgs/by-name` (can't be done for others though)
- Separate error message for when attribute locations can't be
determined for `pkgs/by-name` attributes
- Much better structure of the code in eval.rs, representing more
closely what is being checked
- Much more extensive comments
This makes the callPackage detection stronger by syntactically detecting
whether an attribute is using callPackage
See the added test case for why this is needed.
- `fromlinecolumn` is added to be almost the reverse of `line`.
This is needed in the future to get from `builtins.unsafeGetAttrPos`
locations to the index for rnix
- Previously the semantics for newline indices were not really defined,
now they are, and make more sense.
- Now there's a unit test for these functions
Original commit from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/282226,
message:
Running CI locally is broken becauses the `-I` argument:
- Clobbers $NIX_PATH
- Is wrong for two reasons:
- Has too many `..` elements, relative to the script's location
- Isn't relative to the script's location (as with *.nix files),
since shell scripts and POSIX in general interpret paths
relative to the current working directory, not the canonical
path of argv[0]
- Is inconsistent, since this script has symlinks pointing at it
from different depths in the repository
There is no way to set this flag statically in a way that will work
everywhere. The caller needs to use $NIX_PATH, or the script needs
to take the `-I` value as an argument.
This commit deletes the static `-I` flag.
Stops enforcing that packages whose evaluation gets fixed have to be
moved to `pkgs/by-name`.
This didn't really cause problems before, but I don't think it's great
behavior, and now that NonApplicable is a thing, we can easily make this
work, whereas before it would've been a larger change.
Introduces NonApplicable as a state of a ratchet, to be used when the
ratchet doesn't make sense to have.
This fixes an odd problem where before, changing an attribute to use
e.g. `callPackage` suddenly requires moving it to `pkgs/by-name`, when that
shouldn't have been required.
- Renames EmptyNonAutoCalled to ManualDefinition and add some docs to
better explain what it's for
- Don't conflate the Ratchet type with the Context type, keep them
apart, making the code a bit cleaner, but also allows adding
additional context for a Tight ratchet in the future
- Change the signature of to_nixpkgs_problem to align with the other
ratchet function signatures
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/279892, there's a separate
check that makes sure all changed Nix files evaluate. To not trigger
that, we need to remove all invalid Nix expressions from the tests.
Since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/281374, the
nixpkgs-check-by-name tooling is pinned to a specific /nix/store path to
avoid having to evaluate Nixpkgs in CI.
The same path is used for local runs, but that doesn't actually work
when you're trying to run it on a platform different from CI.
This commit makes it work by being clearer about platforms and making
local runs check out the correct Nixpkgs to evaluate the tool from.
