Instead, if a fixed-output derivation produces has an incorrect output
hash, we now unconditionally move the outputs to the path
corresponding with the actual hash and register it as valid. Thus,
after correcting the hash in the Nix expression (e.g. in a fetchurl
call), the fixed-output derivation doesn't have to be built again.
It would still be good to have a command for reporting the actual hash
of a fixed-output derivation (instead of throwing an error), but
"nix-build --hash" didn't do that.
In this mode, the following restrictions apply:
* The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an
error.
* $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored.
* fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash.
* fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute.
* No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by
fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is
not allowed.
Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the
command line arguments. E.g.
nix build --pure-eval '(
let
nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; };
nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; };
in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux
)'
The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable
evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully
described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do
something like
nix build --pure-eval '(
(import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system
')
where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit
calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other
dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely
identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.
Need to remember that std::map::insert() and emplace() don't overwrite
existing entries...
This fixes a regression relative to 1.11 that in particular triggers
in nested nix-shells.
Before:
$ nativeBuildInputs=/foo nix-shell -p hello --run 'hello'
build input /foo does not exist
After:
$ nativeBuildInputs=/foo nix-shell -p hello --run 'hello'
Hello, world!
Regression from a5f2750e ("Fix early removal of rc-file for nix-shell").
The removal of BASH_ENV causes nothing to be executed by bash if it
detects itself in a non-interactive context. Instead, just
use the same condition used by bash to launch bash differently.
According to bash sources, the condition (stdin and stder both
must be TTYs) is specified by POSIX so this should be pretty
safe to rely on.
Fixes#1171 on master, needs a backport to the Perl code in 1.11.
I had observed that 'bash --rcfile' would do nothing in a
non-interactive context and cause nothing to be executed if a script
using nix-shell shebangs were run in a non-interactive context.
The 'args' variable here is shadowing one in the outer scope and its
contents end up unused. This causes any '#! nix-shell' lines to
effectively be ignored. The intention here was to clear the args vector,
as far as I can tell (and it seems to work).
We were passing "p=$PATH" rather than "p=$PATH;", resulting in some
invalid shell code.
Also, construct a separate environment for the child rather than
overwriting the parent's.
BASH_ENV causes all non-interactive shells called via eg. /etc/bashrc to
remove the rc-file before the main shell gets to run it. Completion
scripts will often do this. Fixes#976.
Adapted from and fixes#1034.
