Previously I did use `runCommand` to do the same. Using
releaseTools.aggregate seems a lot saner and we might get nicer hydra
output of the tests that are failing.
It used to be the case (ref missing) that cargo did treat
`src/$libName.rs` as an alternative to `src/lib.rs` when the latter
wasn't present. Recently I failed to reproduce that with vanilla cargo
and it started to cause pain with some crates of the form:
some_crate/
`- src
`- main.rs
`- some_crate.rs
We would build `src/some_crate.rs` and thing it is a library while that
might not be the actual case. This crate is a valid `bin` crate not a
`lib` crate as far as I can tell from the samples I took.
I removed support for the previously required heuristic and commented
out the test cases in case we will need them again. We could crawl in
the Git history but chances are that the next person looking into this
doesn't know about the history.
Naive concatenation of $LD_LIBRARY_PATH can result in an empty
colon-delimited segment; this tells glibc to load libraries from the
current directory, which is definitely wrong, and may be a security
vulnerability if the current directory is untrusted. (See #67234, for
example.) Fix this throughout the tree.

While looking at the graph of all the outputs in my personal binary
cache it became obvious that we have a lot of self references within the
package set. That isn't an isuse by itself. However it increases the
size of the binary cache for every (reproducible) build of a package
that carries references to itself. You can no longer deduplicate the
outputs since they are all unique. One of the ways to get rid of (a few)
references is to rewrite all the symlinks that are currently used to be
relative symlinks. Two build of something that didn't really change but
carries a self-reference can the be store as the same NAR file again.
I quickly hacked together this change to see if that would yield and
success. My bash scripting skills are probably not great but so far it
seem to somewhat work.
When this fails, the user may want to copy-paste the path to the "bad"
Cargo.lock file to inspect. The trailing `.` on `$cargoDeps.` gets caught in
most terminal copy-pastes. Since half the lines already don't have it, this
removes it from all of them for consistent output.
This helps us instruct rustc to build tests instead of binaries. The
actual build will then ONLY produce test executables. This is a first
step towards having rust crate tests within nixpkgs.
We default back to only a single output in test cases since that is the
only reasonable thing to do here.
Producing libraries or binaries in addition to tests would theoretically
be feasible but usually generates different dependency trees. It is very
common to have some libraries in `[dev-depdendencies]` within Cargo.toml
just for your tests. To not start mixing things up going with a
dedicated derivation for the test build sounds like the best choice for
now.
To use this you must provide a proper test dependency chain to
`buildRustCrate` (as you would usually do with your non-test inputs).
And then set the `buildTests` attribute to `true`. The derivation will
then contain all tests that were built in `$out/tests`. All common test
patterns and directories should be supported and tested by this change.
Below is an example how you would run a single test from the derivation.
This commit contains some more examples in the `buildRustCrateTests`
attribute set that might be helpful.
```
let
drv = buildRustCrate {
…
buildTests true;
};
in runCommand "test-my-crate" {} ''
touch $out
exec ${drv}/tests/my-test
''
```
While unifying most of the lib function calls I accidentially changed
the filterSource functions as well. Since there were no tests I ended
up forgetting about this case (even thought I ran into it…).
when tar'ing store paths into layered archives when building layered
images, don't use the absolute nix store path so that tar won't complain
if something new is added to the nix store
when building the final docker image, ignore any file changes tar
detects in the layers. they are all immutable and the only thing that
might change is the number of hard links due to store optimization
Most stdenv wrappers already work like this -- it allows greater
customisation. We just have to be careful to remove arguments we're
using that shouldn't be passed to stdenv. I've been conservative
here, because fetchcargo checksums shouldn't change lightly.
Before, every docker image had three extra layers:
1. A `closure` layer which is an internal implementation detail of
calculating the closure of the container
2. a `name-config.json` layer which is the images' run-time
configuration, and has no business being *in* the image as a layer.
3. a "bulk-layers" layer which is again and implementation detail
around collecting the image's closure.
None of these layers need to be in the final product.
This allows things like hooks other than postInstall to be passed
through to mkDerivation, which is very useful when customising or
debugging a package.
This reduces the size of Hello World [1] from 3.06 MiB to 678 KiB.
[1] As measured by nix-shell -p 'writers.writeHaskellBin "hello" {} "main = putStrLn \"hello\""' --run 'ls -l `which hello`'
The previous lines were only different in the kind of dependencies but
otherwise exactly the same. It makes the entire thing a bit more
readable by moving this into a function that takes care of this.
We can get rid of a bunch of workarounds that were in the build script
before by just passing on the `crateBin` attribute.
Before we converted the list of attributes to a string only to convert
it back in bash during the build phase. We can do the entire looping
through builds in Nix and thus need no conversion and parsing of
attributes over and over again.
The big part that still remains bash is the heuristic that cargo
introduced and that we can't do at eval time.
