/* Create tests that run in the nix sandbox with additional access to selected host paths
This is for example useful for testing hardware where a tests needs access to
/sys and optionally more.
The following example shows a test that accesses the GPU:
Example:
makeImpureTest {
name = "opencl";
testedPackage = "mypackage"; # Or testPath = "mypackage.impureTests.opencl.testDerivation"
sandboxPaths = [ "/sys" "/dev/dri" ]; # Defaults to ["/sys"]
prepareRunCommands = ""; # (Optional) Setup for the runScript
nixFlags = []; # (Optional) nix-build options for the runScript
testScript = "...";
}
Save as `test.nix` next to a package and reference it from the package:
passthru.impureTests = { opencl = callPackage ./test.nix {}; };
`makeImpureTest` will return here a script that contains the actual nix-build command including all necessary sandbox flags.
It can be executed like this:
$(nix-build -A mypackage.impureTests)
Rerun an already cached test:
$(nix-build -A mypackage.impureTests) --check
