This is useful for testing commands in isolation.
For example,
$ nix run nixpkgs.geeqie -i -k DISPLAY -k XAUTHORITY -c geeqie
runs geeqie in an empty environment, except for $DISPLAY and
$XAUTHORITY.
|
|
E.g.
nix run nixpkgs.hello -c hello --greeting Hallo
Note that unlike "nix-shell --command", no quoting of arguments is
necessary.
"-c" (short for "--command") cannot be combined with "--" because they
both consume all remaining arguments. But since installables shouldn't
start with a dash, this is unlikely to cause problems.

Running "nix run" with a diverted store, e.g.
$ nix run --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.hello
stopped working when Nix became multithreaded, because
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) doesn't work in multithreaded processes. The
obvious solution is to terminate all other threads first, but 1) there
is no way to terminate Boehm GC marker threads; and 2) it appears that
the kernel has a race where unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER) will still fail for
some indeterminate amount of time after joining other threads.
So instead, "nix run" will now exec() a single-threaded helper ("nix
__run_in_chroot") that performs the actual unshare()/chroot()/exec().

These are assumed to be internal.
|
|
And print them (separately from the progress bar) given sufficient -v
flags.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So the progress bar can show
[1/0/1 built, 0.0 MiB DL] building hello-2.10 (configuring): checking whether pread is declared without a macro... yes
|
|
In particular, this allows more relevant activities ("substituting X")
to supersede inferior ones ("downloading X").

This allows the progress bar to display "building perl-5.22.3" instead
of "building /nix/store/<hash>-perl-5.22.3.drv".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This replaces "nix-store --optimise". Main difference is that it has a
progress indicator.

They're the same thing after all.
Example:
$ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped
[0/1 built, 49/98 copied, 16.3/92.8 MiB DL, 55.8/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/0pl9li1jigcj2dany47hpmn0r3r48wc4nz48v5mqhh426lgz3bz6.nar.xz'
|
|
E.g.
$ nix build --store local?root=/tmp/nix nixpkgs.firefox-unwrapped
[0/1 built, 1/97/98 fetched, 65.8/92.8 MiB DL, 203.2/309.2 MiB copied] downloading 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/1czm9fk0svacy4h6a3fzkpafi4f7a9gml36kk8cq1igaghbspg3k.nar.xz'
|
|
It now shows the amount of data copied:
[8/1038 copied, 160.4/1590.9 MiB copied] copying path '...'

The package list is now cached in
~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to
"nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD):
First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
real 0m6.516s
Second run: (package search cache populated)
$ time nix search blender
Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
Package name: blender
Version: 2.78c
Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
real 0m0.143s

This adds about 0.1s to nix-shell runtime in the case where
bashInteractive already exists.
See discussion at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/27493.
|
|
$NIX_PATH may contain elements that don't evaluate to an attrset (like
"nixos-config"), so ignore those.
|
|
|
|
|
|
E.g.
$ nix path-info --json --store https://cache.nixos.org nixpkgs.thunderbird -S
...
"downloadHash": "sha256:1jlixpzi225wwa0f4xdrwrqgi47ip1qpj9p06fyxxg07sfmyi4q0",
"downloadSize": 43047620,
"closureDownloadSize": 84745960
}
]
|
|
This doesn't work in read-only mode, ensuring that operations like
nix path-info --store https://cache.nixos.org -S nixpkgs.hello
(asking for the closure size of nixpkgs.hello in cache.nixos.org) work
when nixpkgs.hello doesn't exist in the local store.
|
|
Now you get
[
{
"path": "/nix/store/fzvliz4j5xzvnd0w5zgw2l0ksqh578yk-bla",
"valid": false
}
]
|
|
On second though this was annoying. E.g. "nix log nixpkgs.hello" would
build/download Hello first, even though the log can be fetched
directly from the binary cache.
May need to revisit this.

Fixes #1464.
|
|
|
|
Also simplify the Hash API.
Fixes #1437.

Thus, instead of ‘--option <name> <value>’, you can write ‘--<name>
<value>’. So
--option http-connections 100
becomes
--http-connections 100
Apart from brevity, the difference is that it's not an error to set a
non-existent option via --option, but unrecognized arguments are
fatal.
Boolean options have special treatment: they're mapped to the
argument-less flags ‘--<name>’ and ‘--no-<name>’. E.g.
--option auto-optimise-store false
becomes
--no-auto-optimise-store
