By adding this option indirection, a test can declare all by itself
that it needs a custom nixpkgs. This is a more convenient way of
going about this when the caller of the test framework receives a
`node.pkgs` unconditionally.
mkIf is unnecessary when the condition is statically known - that is
knowable before entering the module evaluation.
By changing this to a precomputed module, we support changing the
defined options to readOnly options.
This allows modules that declare their class to be checked.
While that's not most user modules, frameworks can take advantage
of this by setting declaring the module class for their users.
That way, the mistake of importing a module into the wrong hierarchy
can be reported more clearly in some cases.
`make-disk-image` is a tool for creating VM images. It takes an argument
`contents` that allows one to specify files and directories that should
be copied into the VM image. However, directories end up not at the
specified target, but instead at a subdirectory of the target, with a
nix-store-like path, e.g.
`/target/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-source`. See issue
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/226203 .
This change adds a test for make-disk-image's contents directory
handling and adds a fix (appending `/` to rsync input directory names).
This closes issue https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/226203 .
What the code was trying to do was helpfully add a directory and
extension if none were specified, but it did this by checking whether
the filename was composed of a very limited character set that didn't
even include dashes.
With this change, the intention of the code is clearer, and I can put
dashes in my screenshot names.
the old method of pasting parts of options.json into a markdown document
and hoping for the best no longer works now that options.json contains
more than just docbook. given the infrastructure we have now we can
actually render options.md properly, so we may as well do that.
options processing is pretty slow right now, mostly because the
markdown-it-py parser is pure python (and with performance
pessimizations at that). options parsing *is* embarassingly parallel
though, so we can just fork out all the work to worker processes and
collect the results.
multiprocessing probably has a greater benefit on linux than on darwin
since the worker spawning method darwin uses is less efficient than
fork() on linux. this hasn't been tested on darwin, only on linux, but
if anything darwin will be faster with its preferred method.
The output of a command is not guaranteed to be valid UTF-8, so the
decoding can fail raising UnicodeDecodeError. If this happens during a
`succeeds` the check will be erroneously marked failed.
This changes the error handling to the "replace" mode, where invalid
codepoints are replaced with � (REPLACEMENT CHARACTER U+FFFD) and the
decoding can go on.
...for explicitly named network interfaces
This reverts commit 6ae3e7695e.
(and evaluation fixups 08d26bbb727aed90a969)
Some of the tests fail or time out after the merge.
using environment variables isn't great once multiple input or output
formats get involved (which will happen soon). now is a good time to set
a pattern for future converters.
this new package shall eventually contain the rendering code necessary
to produce the entirety of the nixos (not nixpkgs) manual, in all of its
various output formats.
`shell_interact()` is currently not nice to use. If you try to cancel
the socat process, it will also break the nixos test. Furthermore
ptpython creates it's own terminal that subprocesses are running in,
which breaks some of the terminal features of socat.
Hence this commit extends `shell_interact` to allow also to connect to
arbitrary servers i.e. tcp servers started by socat.
the rest of the nixos manual has them enabled, so we should enable them
here too for consistency.
this changes rendered output pervasively. changes also include quotes in
types (eg in `strings concatenated with "\n"`), but since those are not
code this is probably fine. if not we can probably add a myst role to
inhibit replacements.
the rules are fixed, and we want to support all of them (or throw a
useful error message). this will also become the base for a generic
renderer system, so let's just list all the rules statically.
this restores mergeJSON to its former glory if…merging json, and
extracts the MD rendering into a new script that will run instead of the
py+nix+xslt pipeline we previously ran to convert options.json to docbook.
this change alone gives a noticable performance boost when building
docs (18s instead of 27s to build optionsDocBook).
no changes to rendered output, except for a single example in the
rsnapshot module that uses hard tabs for indentation instead of spaces.
this probably isn't important.
docbook warnings remain with mergeJSON since the other processing steps
output single files instead of directories. since we'll only keep the
check until 23.11 this is probably also not important to fix.
also contains a few improvements to error reporting in the MD renderers.
Adds a new option to the virtualisation modules that enables specifying
explicitly named network interfaces in QEMU VMs. The existing
`virtualisation.vlans` is still supported for cases where the name of
the network interface is irrelevant.
only whitespace changes (mostly empty descriptions rendered as literal
line breaks and trailing space toPretty generates, but that were dropped
by mistune).
don't generate docbook for related packages, generate markdown instead.
this could be extended further to not even generate markdown but have
mergeJSON handle all of the rendering. markdown will work fine for now
though.
