Test suite depends on an old version of base16-bytestring (but has not
set up constraints for it). Can't be bothered to add an old version of
it, let's just disable the test suite for now. This should fix itself
sooner or later.
* no released version of hackage2nix does support distribution-nixpkgs yet.
* hackage-db 2.1.2 fixes an annoying bug introduced in 2.1.1 and also supports
Cabal 3.4: https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/issues/501
1.1.0.0 brings us compatibility with opaleye >= 7.3.0.0, so we can get
rid of the old version as well. tmp-postgres was incorrectly marked as
broken (maybe due to a flaky failure) and can be unmarked.
hnix needs these versions since 0.13, but we previously patched it to
use the versions tracked in stackage because that reduces the risk of
multiple versions of a package being propagated in the dependency tree
and breaking a build.
One major release later, patching hnix has become quite cumbersome, so
we'll bite the bullet for now and return to this approach if any
problems come up.
The source tarball now has DOS line endings for some reason, requiring
the use of dos2unix. Also needs a jailbreak since the template-haskell
bound has become too strict.
Upstream introduced too strict lower bounds in a new release. Since it's
too much hassle to create a new account in their redmine just for this
issue, I've used asserts to indicate when this will be able to be
removed.
Fix instances of tool dependencies coming from `self` or `pkgs`
instead of `self.buildHaskellPackages` or `pkgs.buildPackages`
respectively. This makes sure cross-evaluation and -compilation will
work although their may still be more kinks to work out (or cases I
missed). This change was mostly created by searching for `[tTool]` and
`\${` in the respective files.
Note that this has intentionally not been for test tool dependencies:
Like in `stdenv.mkDerivation` we need to view tests as being executed
on the *host platform* which is why we can't run tests while cross
compiling anyways. In practice this is not an important distinction,
though: `pkgs.buildPackages` and `pkgs` are almost identical in the
native case.
Resolves#127232.
For native compilation, we can just add the intermediary build
directory to `PATH` which allows the test suite to be preprocessed by
tasty-discover itself.
When cross-compiling, `doCheck` will be false anyways and this won't
matter (fingers crossed!).
If we are cross compiling we can't and don't run the tests since they
wouldn't be able to be executed on the host platform.
While native compiling, we need to avoid an infinite recursion.
stackage LTS 18 luckily updated haskell-gi and related libraries to
0.25, so we can remove a lot of overrides. I also unrestricted some of
them in configuration-hackage2nix/main.yml and removed the overrides
updating them in configuration-common.nix (I guess the person doing
the upgrades thought those libraries were also in stackage).
Add assert which will fail when the overrides can be removed. Upstream
has patched the bounds, but hasn't made a new release nor a hackage
revision so far.
Every flag the generic builder receives via `testFlags` is passed via
`--test-option` [1] to `Setup.hs` which in turn passes them to the
underlying test suite binary. These wrapped options are added to
`checkFlagsArray` in `checkPhase`. This needs to be done in bash since
without structuredAttrs in nixpkgs so far, Nix arrays aren't properly
translated into bash arrays, so we'd have all sorts of quoting issues
when spaces are involved.
Re-using `checkFlags` and `checkFlagsArray` from standard stdenv
setup.sh also results in an additional feature: Using `overrideAttrs`
`checkFlags` and `checkFlagsArray` can additionally be overridden,
which allows passing extra flags to `Setup.hs` whithout being wrapped
with `--test-option`.

According to the cabal-install man page this also allows passing
special variables which are substituted for other values
depending on context.
