This reverts commit e9bf955fd6. We use
nixos-install to ensure that make-disk-image produces the same result
as a regular installation (9802da517f)
and to reduce code duplication. If there is something broken in
nixos-install, it should be fixed there.
Introduce new functions which allows modules to define options where,
if the input is an attrset and the output is JSON, the user can define
arbitrary secrets.
Because the copy process inside the VM does not reliably
give "No space" error message leaving the user wondering what
went wrong:

Motivation is to support other repositories containing nixos
modules that would like to generate options documentation:
- nix-darwin
- private repos
- arion
- ??
When IPXE tests were added, an option was added for configuring only
the frontend, and the backend configuration was dropped entirely. This
caused most installer tests to fail.
We differentiate between modules and baseModules in the
VM builder for NixOS tests. This way, nesting.children, eventhough
it doesn't inherit from parent, still has enough config to
actually complete the test. Otherwise, the qemu modules
would not be loaded, for example, and a nesting.children
statement would not evaluate.
Before this change `man 5 configuration.nix` would only show options of modules in
the `baseModules` set, which consists only of the list of modules in
`nixos/modules/module-list.nix`
With this change applied and `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` option enabled
all modules included in `configuration.nix` file will be used instead.
This makes configurations with custom modules self-documenting. It also means
that importing non-`baseModules` modules like `gce.nix` or `azure.nix`
will make their documentation available in `man 5 configuration.nix`.
`documentation.nixos.includeAllModules` is currently set to `false` by
default as enabling it usually uncovers bugs and prevents evaluation.
It should be set to `true` in a release or two.
This was originally implemented in #47177, edited for more configurability,
documented and rebased onto master by @oxij.
Fixes#5185856e12aae54 ends up passing config to pkgs. Unfortunately this might be null and pkgs/top-level/default.nix assumes it is an attrset. To fix this, we just make the default for config = {}. Thanks to @kristoff3r for tracking this down.

See #49441 for an earlier attempt, which was subsequently reverted. I am
assuming that doubling the time will be sufficient if the machine is
overloaded since so many of the tests already pass at 5 minutes, while
still not holding back failures for needlessly long.
cleanSource does not appear to work correctly in this case. The path
does not get coerced to a string, resulting in a dangling symlink
produced in channel.nix. Not sure why, but this
seems to fix it.
Fixes#51025.

Since 113a6b9325 the test driver
explicitly ensures if the node names won't break the resulting Perl
script at runtime. This slightly improves the correctness of the error
message.
These names are referenced by Perl variables inside the testing
frameworks which don't allow chars like `-` as character inside. An exemplary
expression may look like this:
```
{
x11-vm = {
services.xserver.enable = true;
};
}
```
This expression evaluates, e.g. when running `nixos-build-vms`, but when
trying to run `./result/bin/nixos-run-vms`, an error like this occurs:
```
starting VDE switch for network 1
running the VM test script
error: Can't modify subtraction (-) in scalar assignment at (eval 17) line 1, at EOF

Bareword "test" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 17) line 1.

```
This can be very confusing for beginners, this change breaks evaluation
if such names are used for machines.
This is to try and squeeze more lost space from the image, so that hydra
starts building it again.
The fsck previous to the resize2fs is required so resize2fs works.
The one afterwards is a sanity check.
Using `-M` from resize2fs will not give much saved space due to a known
(in the manual) issue.

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.
Referencing modulesPath in NixOS configurations can cause evaluation
errors in restricted mode. If used as `${modulesPath}` (as in all
use-sites in nixpkgs) the modules subtree is copied into its own store
path. Access to this path will be forbidden in restricted mode.
Converting to a string solves this issue.
`${builtins.toString modulesPath}` will point to a subdirectory of the
nixpkgs tree out of which evalModules is called.
This change converts modulesPath to a string by default so that the
call-site doesn't have to anymore.
Take two of #40708 (4fe2898608).
That PR attempted to bidirectionally default `config.nixpkgs.system` and
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system` to each be updated by the other. But
this is not possible with the way the module system works. Divergence in
certain cases in inevitable.
This PR is more conservative and just has `system` default `localSystem`
and `localSystem` make the final call as-is. This solves a number of
issues.
- `localSystem` completely overrides `system`, just like with nixpkgs
proper. There is no need to specify `localSystem.system` to clobber the
old system.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is exactly what is passed to nixpkgs. No
spooky steps.
- `config.nixpkgs.localSystem` is elaborated just as nixpkgs would so
that all attributes are available, not just the ones the user
specified.
The remaining issue is just that `config.nixpkgs.system` doesn't update
based on `config.nixpkgs.localSystem.system`. It should never be
referred to lest it is a bogus stale value because
`config.nixpkgs.localSystem` overwrites it.
Fixes#46320
toPath has confusing semantics and is never necessary; it can always
either just be omitted or replaced by pre-concatenating `/.`. It has
been marked as "!!! obsolete?" for more than 10 years in a C++
comment, hopefully removing it will let us properly deprecate and,
eventually, remove it.
I ended up with a corrupted image with the debugfs contraption once, and
given I couldn't reproduce the problem I suppose that happens if the
filesystem of the builder runs out of space.
At least in this instance fsck could detect it, so let's add it as a
sanity check.
The ability to specify "-drive if=scsi" has been removed in QEMU version
2.12 (introduced in 3e3b39f173).
Quote from https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.12#Incompatible_changes:
> The deprecated way of configuring SCSI devices with "-drive if=scsi"
> on x86 has been removed. Use an appropriate SCSI controller together
> "-device scsi-hd" or "-device scsi-cd" and a corresponding "-blockdev"
> parameter instead.
So whenever the diskInterface is "scsi" we use the new way to specify
the drive and fall back to the deprecated way for the time being. The
reason why I'm not using the new way for "virtio" and "ide" as well is
because there is no simple generic way anymore to specify these.
This also turns the type of the virtualisation.qemu.diskInterface option
to be an enum, so the user knows which values are allowed but we can
also make sure the right value is provided to prevent typos.
I've tested this against a few non-disk-related NixOS VM tests but also
the installer.grub1 test (because it uses "ide" as its drive interface),
the installer.simple test (just to be sure it still works with
"virtio") and all the tests in nixos/tests/boot.nix.
In order to be able to run the grub1 test I had to go back to
8b1cf100cd (which is a known commit where
that test still works) and apply the QEMU update and this very commit,
because right now the test is broken.
Apart from the tests here in nixpkgs, I also ran another[1] test in
another repository which uses the "scsi" disk interface as well (in
comparison to most of the installer tests, this one actually failed
prior to this commit).
All of them now succeed.

Following legacy packing conventions, `isArm` was defined just for
32-bit ARM instruction set. This is confusing to non packagers though,
because Aarch64 is an ARM instruction set.
The official ARM overview for ARMv8[1] is surprisingly not confusing,
given the overall state of affairs for ARM naming conventions, and
offers us a solution. It divides the nomenclature into three levels:
```
ISA: ARMv8 {-A, -R, -M}
/ \
Mode: Aarch32 Aarch64
| / \
Encoding: A64 A32 T32
```
At the top is the overall v8 instruction set archicture. Second are the
two modes, defined by bitwidth but differing in other semantics too, and
buttom are the encodings, (hopefully?) isomorphic if they encode the
same mode.
The 32 bit encodings are mostly backwards compatible with previous
non-Thumb and Thumb encodings, and if so we can pun the mode names to
instead mean "sets of compatable or isomorphic encodings", and then
voilà we have nice names for 32-bit and 64-bit arm instruction sets
which do not use the word ARM so as to not confused either laymen or
experienced ARM packages.

exportReferencesGraph is deprecated and doesn't have the generated
initial Nix database contain the SHA256 of the contents of the store
paths, which breaks various things under Nix 2.0.
- `localSystem` is added, it strictly supercedes system
- `crossSystem`'s description mentions `localSystem` (and vice versa).
- No more weird special casing I don't even understand
TEMP
Instead of imagemagick built with many libraries
(notably librsvg which these days requires rust)
use imagemagick_light with support for libtiff added.
These (outdated) derivations are only used by nixos/lib/testing.nix.
If we want to provide jquery & jquery-ui packages this is better done
in nodePackages.
Among other things, this will allow *2nix tools to output plain data
while still being composable with the traditional
callPackage/.override interfaces.
- Add a new parameter `imageType` that can specify either "efi" or
"legacy" (the default which should see no change in behaviour by
this patch).
- EFI images get a GPT partition table (instead of msdos) with a
mandatory ESP partition (so we add an assert that `partitioned`
is true).
- Use the partx tool from util-linux to determine exact start + size
of the root partition. This is required because GPT stores a secondary
partition table at the end of the disk, so we can't just have
mkfs.ext4 create the filesystem until the end of the disk.
- (Unrelated to any EFI changes) Since we're depending on the
`-E offset=X` option to mkfs which is only supported by e2fsprogs,
disallow any attempts of creating partitioned disk images where
the root filesystem is not ext4.
It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.
This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.
The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:
```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:
with lib;
{
name = "systemd-user-test";
nodes.machine = {
imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
};
testScript = ''
$machine->start;
$machine->waitForX;
$machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
'';
})
```
Fakeroot seems to always give the owner write bit to any files touched
inside it (presumably to easily simulate the fact that root can still
modify such files). So do an explicit chmod to remove them.
This should finally solve #32242 after the EC2 images are regenerated
with this change.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/66143116
This fixes#28768 because during an image build, Nix sees bad store
timestamps and attempts to fix them, but can't fix them on a running
system (due to being inside a builder). Since timestamps on the store
are supposed to be 1 anyway, if we fix this, that fixes image building
inside booted images made this way.
Note that this adds quite a bit of noise to the output, because running
`cptofs` under `faketime` causes a bunch of seemingly spurious error
messages and my attempts to suppress them all failed. We'll fix it when
`cptofs` gets a native timestamp preservation feature.
-s, --script: never prompts for user intervention
Sometimes the NixOS installer tests fail when they invoke parted, e.g.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/62513826/nixlog/1. But instead of exiting
right there, the tests hang until the Nix builder times out (and kills
the build). With this change the tests would instead fail immediately,
which is preferred.
While at it, use "parted --script" treewide, so nobody gets build
timeout due to parted error (or misuse). (Only nixos/ use it, and only
non-interactive.)
A few instances already use the short option "-s", convert them to long
option "--short".
Regression introduced by a02bb00156.
The fix is done by disabling writableStore, because the latter will set
up an overlayfs on the Nix store within the VM, which in turn will
discard all the outputs of the resulting output path.
However in runInMachine we actually *want* the contents of the generated
path and also don't want a writable store within the VM (except of
course for $out, which is writable anyway).
I've added a small regression test to verifify the output in
nixos/tests/run-in-machine.nix to make sure this won't break again in
the future.

This version should have more conventional regexes that work across many
platforms and regex engines. This is an issue because up until Nix 1.11,
Nix called out to the libc regex matcher, which behaved differently on
Darwin and Linux. And in Nix 1.12, we're moving to std::regex which will
also behave differently here.
And yes, I do actually evaluate make-disk-image.nix on Darwin ;)

to help debug the problem. Notice the "logine" typo in my check.
This changes much of the make-disk-image.nix logic (and thus most NixOS
image building) to use LKL to set up the target directory structure rather
than a Linux VM. The only work we still do in a VM is less IO-heavy stuff
that while still time-consuming, is less of the overall load. The goal is
to kill more of that stuff, but that will require deeper changes to NixOS
activation scripts and switch-to-configuration.pl, and I don't want to
bite off too much at once.
First of all, we're now using ImageMagick to improve the screenshot so
that Tesseract has an esier time to recognize the text. The resulting
image of this post-processing is a scaled up black-and-white version
with the backgrounds almost entirely removed and the text edges a bit
blurred, so the screen shots now more or less resemble an image from a
scanner rather. This is what Tesseract is trained for by default.
As mentioned in the previous commit we now also use Tesseract 4, which
further improves the quality of text recognition.
I've spent countless hours just to test different postprocessing
variants and testing what works best for our tests and this is the one
that worked best so far. It's certainly not perfect and I'd like to
avoid the scaling step but we're way better off than before.
In addition to this, the OCR process is now done without an intermediate
file, solely using pipes.
I've tested this using the following VM tests which have OCR enabled:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix
* nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot
* nixos/tests/lightdm.nix
* nixos/tests/plasma5.nix
* nixos/tests/sddm.nix
All of the tests still succeed and comparing some of the recognition
results to the earlier results it now also detects a lot more text than
before this commit.

I've removed that attribute in 68bc260ca2,
because the language files no longer were distributed as seperate files,
but if we for example only want to use the English training data, the
closure size of Tesseract gets quite large (around 1.2 GB), which is a
bit much just to be able to run NixOS VM tests.
For this reason I've also switched the VM tests back to using only the
English language.
Tested using the following VM tests (the ones that have OCR enabled) on
x86_64-linux:

This makes make-disk-image.nix slightly more consistent with other image

From the upstream changelog:
* Tesseract development is now done with Git and hosted at github.com
(Previously we used Subversion as a VCS and code.google.com for
hosting).
So let's move over to the GitHub repository, where the organisation also
includes a full repository for tessdata, so we no longer need to fetch
it one-by-one.
The build also got significantly simpler, because we no longer need to
run autoconf, neither do we need to patch the configure script for
Leptonica headers.
This also has the advantage that we don't need to use the
enableLanguages attribute for the test runner anymore.

necessarily proper UTF-8.
As the XML::Writer already expects valid UTF-8 input, we assume that
everything that comes into sanitise() will be UTF-8 from the start. So
we just decode() it using FB_DEFAULT as the check argument so that
every invalid character is replaced by the unicode replacement
character:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character
We simply re-oncode it again afterwards and return it, so we should
always get out valid UTF-8 in the log XML.
For more information about FB_DEFAULT and FB_CROAK, have a look at:

We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/33843133
Previously this was done in three derivations (one to build the raw
disk image, one to convert to OVA, one to add a hydra-build-products
file). Now it's done in one step to reduce the amount of copying
to/from S3. In particular, not uploading the raw disk image prevents
us from hitting hydra-queue-runner's size limit of 2 GiB.
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.
This prevents seeing lots of warnings about missing hashes/sizes in the
database when running "nix-store --verify --check-contents" for the
first time.
