When a list is passed to isStorePath this is most likely a mistake and
it is therefore better to just return false. There is one case where
this theoretically makes sense (if a list contains a single element for
which isStorePath elem), but since that case is also probably seldomly
intentional, it may save someone from debbuging unclear evaluation
errors.
I am taking the non-invasive parts of #110914 to hopefully help out with #111988.
In particular:
- Use `lib.makeScopeWithSplicing` to make the `darwin` package set have
a proper `callPackage`.
- Adjust Darwin `stdenv`'s overlays keeping things from the previous
stage to not stick around too much.
- Expose `binutilsNoLibc` / `darwin.binutilsNoLibc` to hopefully get us
closer to a unified LLVM and GCC bootstrap.
Previously, an option of type
attrsOf string
wouldn't throw a deprecation warning, even though the string type is
deprecated. This was because the deprecation warning trigger only looked
at the type of the option itself, not any of its subtypes.
This commit fixes this, causing each of the types deprecationMessages to
trigger for the option. This relies on the subtypes mkOptionType
attribute introduced in 26607a5a2e06653fec453c83d063cdfc4b59185f
In 2d45a62899, the submodule type
description was amended with the freeformType description. This causes
all the modules passed to the submodule to be evaluated once on their
own, without any extra definitions from the config section. This means
that the specified modules need to be valid on their own, without any
undeclared options.
This commit adds a test that evaluates a submodules option description,
which would trigger the above problem for one of the tests, if it were
not fixed by this commit as well.
This is done because the next commit makes option evaluation a bit more
strict, which would also trigger this test failure, even though it's not
related to the change at all.
This will be used to issue deprecation warnings recursively in the next
commit
In addition, this allows easily getting nested types of other options, which
is useful when you want to create an option that aliases a part of
another one.
It's a common pattern in Nixpkgs to want to emit a warning in certain
cases, but not actually change behaviours.
This is often expressed as either
if cond then lib.warn "Don't do that thing" x else x
Or
(if cond then lib.warn "Don't do that thing" else lib.id) x
Neither of which really expresses the intent here, because it looks
like 'x' is being chosen conditionally.
To make this clearer, I introduce a "warnIf" function, which makes it
clear that the only thing being affected by the condition is whether
the warning is generated, not the value being returned.
Since shellPackage actually requires the value to be an attribute set
(i. e. an derivation in this case), we cannot re-use the package.check
type checker since it also allows strings or things that are coercible
to strings as long as they look like store paths.
These are all the architectures supported by Nixpkgs on other
platforms, that are also supported by NetBSD. (So I haven't added
any architectures that are new to Nixpkgs here, even though NetBSD
supports some that we don't have.)
The previous mess was partially grouped by OS, and partially grouped
by architecture, which made it very difficult to know where to add new
entries.
I've chosen to group by OS entirely, because OSes are likely to
maintain exhaustive lists of supported architectures, but it's far
less likely we'd be able to find exhaustive lists of supported OSes
for every architecture.
When in the presence of worktrees, it happens that /commondir has a
trailing slash.
In these circumstances, it can lead to `lib.pathType` being passed paths
like `/foo/bar/.git/`, which in turn lead to
`error: attribute '.git' missing`.
With this change, we now make sure send properly-formatted paths to all
other functions.
This, in particular, fixes running NixOS tests on worktrees created by
libgit2 on my machine. (Worktrees created by git itself appear to not
hit the issue.)
