lib/cli is very similar to generators, so it should follow largely the
same interface. Similar to how generators isn’t exported, we should
also namespace cli by default (plus “cli” is only three characters to
type).
Before c9214c394b and
9d396d2e42 if .git is symlink the version
would gracefully default to no git revision. With those changes an
exception is thrown instead.
This introduces a new function `pathIsGitRepo` that checks if
`commitIdFromGitRepo` fails without error so we don't have to
reimplement this logic again and can fail gracefully.
Not all modules use name attribute as the name of the submodule, for example,
environment.etc uses target. We will need to maintain a list of exceptions.
lib.commitIdFromGitRepo now resolves the refs from the
parent repository in case the supplied path is a file
containing the path to said repository. this adds support
for git-worktree and things alike. see gitrepository-layout(5).
this also:
- adds a new boolean function lib.pathIsRegularFile to
check whether a path is a regular file
- patches lib.revisionWithDefault and
the revision and versionSuffix attributes in
config.system.nixos in order to support git-worktrees
The standard attrsOf is strict in its *values*, meaning it's impossible to
access only one attribute value without evaluating all others as well.
lazyAttrsOf is a version that doesn't have that problem, at the expense
of conditional definitions not properly working anymore.
Without this change, accessing `mergedValue` from `mergeDefinitions` in
case there are no definitions will throw an error like
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'This case should never happen.'
This change makes it throw the appropriate error
error: The option `foo' is used but not defined.
This is fully backwards compatible.
Fix the broken test in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/77416
Apparently hydra uses `nix-build lib/tests/release.nix` to run all
tests, where IFD isn't allowed. Fortunately we can get around this with
builtins.toFile, which doesn't require IFD, but still can test the
properties we want.
This fixes imports from the store not being possible, which was caused by
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/76857
E.g. such a case:
imports = [ "${home-manager}/nixos" ];
With this change, disabledModules applies recursively, meaning if you
have a module "foo.nix" with
imports = [ ./bar.nix ];
then setting
disabledModules = [ "foo.nix" ];
will disable both "foo.nix" and "bar.nix", whereas previously only
"foo.nix" would be disabled.
This change along with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61570 allows
modules to be fully disabled even when they have some `mkRenamedOption`
imports.
Previously when this function was called without a value coercible to a
string it would throw an error instead of returning false. Now it does.
As a result this now allows the use of a type like `either path attrs`
without it erroring out when a definition is an attribute set.
The warning about there not being a isPath primop was removed because
this is not the case anymore, there is builtins.isPath. But also there
always was `builtins.typeOf x == "path"` that could've been used
instead. However the path type now stands for more than just path types,
but absolute paths in general.
If I understand correctly, the problem isn't so much that you're assigning to
that top-level attribute, but that the assignment to the attribute (or any
child of the attribute) introduces the 'config' object and prevents 'lifting'
all settings to a generated 'config' object.
This reverts commit eec83d41e3.
This broke hydra evaluation because with this commit submodule values
are allowed to be paths, however the certmgr module uses `either
(submodule ...) path` in its type, meaning it already used paths for
something else which would now be interpreted as a submodule.
This adds a new utility to intelligently convert Nix records to
command line options to reduce boilerplate for simple use cases and to
also reduce the likelihood of malformed command lines
`pipe` is a useful operator for creating pipelines of functions.
It works around the usual problem of e.g. string operations becoming
deeply nested functions.
In principle, there are four different ways this function could be
written:
pipe val [ f1 .. fn ]
pipe val [ fn .. f1 ]
compose [ f1 .. fn ] val
compose [ fn .. f1 ] val
The third and fourth form mirror composition of functions, they would
be the same as e.g. `(f1 << f2 << f3 .. << fn) val`.
However, it is not clear which direction the list should have (as one
can see in the second form, which is the most absurd.
In order not to confuse users, we decide for the most “intuitive”
form, which mirrors the way unix pipes work (thus the name `pipe`).
The flow of data goes from left to right.

Remove the "version" parameter in order to make it more widely
available.
Starts making some kernel configuration helpers available.
The intent is to be able to better build and check the linux kernel
configuration.
We don't want to ignore config that can mess up machines. In general
this should always fail evaluation, as you think you are changing
behaviour and don't, which can easily create run-time errors we can
catch early.
Previously mkRemovedOptionModule would only show the replacement
instructions when the removed option was *defined*. With this change, it
also does so when an option is *used*.
This is essential for options that are only intended to be used such as
`security.acme.directory`, whose replacement instructions would never
trigger without this change because almost everybody only uses the
option and isn't defining it.
This makes the function available without having to evaluate the
Nixpkgs fix-point, making it available in a more natural way for
code that deals with multiple Nixpkgs invocations.
Its definition is coupled to Nix rather than Nixpkgs, so it will
feel right at home in lib.
