lib.toPlist: Add support for path values
|
|
Allows to generate code block for setting of global variables
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/nix-community/noogle
|
|
Suitable to simplify Lua-based configurations like neovim-lspconfig that
might need to interpolate Nix package paths.
|
|
|
|
https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html#builtins-isNull
|
|
Use a wrapper around `mergeDefinitions` to type-check values deeply, so
that e.g. `maintainers = [ 42 ];` is an error.
|
|
|
|
Render un`_type`d defaults and examples as `literalExpression`s using
`lib.generators.toPretty` so that consumers don't have to reinvent Nix
pretty-printing. `renderOptionValue` is kept internal for now intentionally.
Make `toPretty` print floats as valid Nix values (without a tilde).
Get rid of the now-obsolete `substSpecial` function.
Move towards disallowing evaluation of packages in the manual by
raising a warning on `pkgs.foo.{outPath,drvPath}`; later, this should
throw an error. Instead, module authors should use `literalExpression`
and `mkPackageOption`.
|
|
|
|
With the goal of making `toPretty` suitable for rendering option
values, render derivations as `<derivation foo-1.0>` instead of
`<derivation /nix/store/…-foo-1.0.drv>`.
This is to avoid causing sudden evaluation errors for out-of-tree
projects that have options with `default = pkgs.someUnfreePackage;` and
no `defaultText`.

the argument to optional should not be list

Closes #168327
The issue reported there can be demonstrated with the following
expression:
→ nix-instantiate --eval -E "with import ./. {}; pkgs.lib.options.showDefs [ { file = \"foo\"; value = pkgs.rust.packages.stable.buildRustPackages; } ]"
error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a string
at /home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:442:35:
441| isFunction = f: builtins.isFunction f ||
442| (f ? __functor && isFunction (f.__functor f));
| ^
443|
Basically, if a `__functor` is in an attribute-set at depth-limit,
`__functor` will be set to `"<unevaluated>"`. This however breaks
`lib.isFunction` which checks for a `__functor` by invoking `__functor`
with `f` itself.
The same issue - "magic" attributes being shadowed by `withRecursion` -
also applies to others such as
`__pretty`/`__functionArgs`/`__toString`.
Since these attributes have a low-risk of causing a stack overflow
(because these are flat attr-sets or even functions), ignoring them in
`withRecursion` seems like a valid solution.

As discussed in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/118925#issuecomment-821112723,
this is the best way of adding global sections to `toINI` without
employing heuristics (i.e. checking whether something is an attrset).

lib/modules: improve errors for `options`/`config`-mixups
|
|
|
|
This is the common case when passing a derivation, we want to access the
store path.
|
|
Consider a derivation a value to be serialized.
nix-repl> lib.generators.toGitINI { hello = { drv = pkgs.hello; }; }
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'generators.mkValueStringDefault: attrsets not supported: <derivation /nix/store/533q15q67sl6dl0272dyi7m7w5pwkkjh-hello-2.10.drv>'
Fixes #137390
|
|
As suggested in #131205.
Now it's possible to pretty-print a value with `lib.generators` like
this:
with lib.generators;
toPretty { }
(withRecursion { depthLimit = 10; } /* arbitrarily complex value */)
Also, this can be used for any other pretty-printer now if needed.
|
|
When having e.g. recursive attr-set, it cannot be printed which is
solved by Nix itself like this:
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E 'let a.b = 1; a.c = a; in builtins.trace a 1'
trace: { b = 1; c = <CYCLE>; }
1
However, `generators.toPretty` tries to evaluate something until it's
done which can result in a spurious `stack-overflow`-error:
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E 'with import <nixpkgs/lib>; generators.toPretty { } (mkOption { type = types.str; })'
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
Those attr-sets are in fact rather common, one example is shown above, a
`types.<type>`-declaration is such an example. By adding an optional
`depthLimit`-argument, `toPretty` will stop evaluating as soon as the
limit is reached:
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E 'with import ./Projects/nixpkgs-update-int/lib; generators.toPretty { depthLimit = 2; } (mkOption { type = types.str; })' |xargs -0 echo -e
"{
_type = \"option\";
type = {
_type = \"option-type\";
check = <function>;
deprecationMessage = null;
description = \"string\";
emptyValue = { };
functor = {
binOp = <unevaluated>;
name = <unevaluated>;
payload = <unevaluated>;
type = <unevaluated>;
wrapped = <unevaluated>;
};
getSubModules = null;
getSubOptions = <function>;
merge = <function>;
name = \"str\";
nestedTypes = { };
substSubModules = <function>;
typeMerge = <function>;
};
}"
Optionally, it's also possible to let `toPretty` throw an error if the
limit is exceeded.

Previously, if a derivation without a `drvPath` was handled, an error
would be thrown:
nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} { type = "derivation"; }
error: attribute 'drvPath' missing, at /home/infinisil/src/nixpkgs/lib/generators.nix:251:24
With this commit it doesn't anymore:
nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} { type = "derivation"; }
"<derivation ???>"
This matches what `nix repl` outputs:
nix-repl> { type = "derivation"; }
«derivation ???»

This reverts commit d9a7d03da8c58aa863911506ae3153729f8931da.
Reason for this is that it actually doesn't migitate the issue on nix
stable for another reason: builtins.tryEval doesn't prevent the error
generated by builtins.functionArgs from halting evaluation:
> builtins.tryEval (builtins.functionArgs builtins.functionArgs)
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at (string):1:19
Thus it seems that there is no workaround to make
lib.generators.toPretty work with nix stable and primops since there is
no way to distinguish between primops and lambdas in nix.

An high level example case of this problem occuring can be found below:
nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} (lib.concatStringsSep "\n")
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:334:42
However this does not happen on other partially applied functions:
nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} (lib.concatMapStringsSep "\n")
"<function>"
The issue, as it turns out is that while builtins are functions,
builtins.functionArgs throws if is passed a builtin or a partially
applied builtin:
nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} builtins.toString
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:334:42
nix-repl> lib.generators.toPretty {} (builtins.foldl' (a: b: a + b))
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at /home/lukas/src/nix/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:334:42
I'm pretty sure this qualifies as a nix bug and should be filed
accordingly, but we can work around it in lib.generators.toPretty by
using tryEval and falling back to {} which functionArgs _should_ return
for builtins.
The nix behavior is inconsistent to say the least:
nix-repl> builtins.functionArgs builtins.functionArgs
error: 'functionArgs' requires a function, at (string):1:1
nix-repl> builtins.typeOf builtins.functionArgs
"lambda"
builtins.functionArgs (a: 1 + a)
{ }
nix-repl> builtins.typeOf (a: 1 + a)
"lambda"

Not attribute sets. So move the function case forward
|
|
|
|
- These symbols can be confusing for those not familiar with them
- There's no harm in making these more obvious
- Terminals may not print them correctly either
Also changes the function argument printing slightly to be more obvious

They are cut off after a few decimal places; we cannot in good faith
define a default string representation with that.

Nix now supports floats & we can pretty easily map them to Plist’s
<real></real> type. Note that I am unsure how this affects older
version of Nix that may or may not have builtins.isFloat available.
Make sure this satisfies minver.nix’s "1.11" requirement.

So far, `mkValueString` defaulted to `toString`,
which is a bad match for most configuration file formats,
especially because how booleans are formatted.
This also improves error messages for unsupported types.
Add a test to codify the formatting.
