This modifies the `router` to not give out a range of IP addresses but
only give out a fixed address based on the MAC address using the
`services.dhcpd4.machines` option.
To get access to the MAC address the `qemuNicMac` function is defined
and exported from `qemu-flags.nix`.
By generating a version-5 GUID based on $out (which contains
the derivation hash) and preventing isohybrid from overwriting
the GPT table (which already is populated correctly by xorriso).
Tested by:
* booting from USB disk on a UEFI system
* booting from USB disk on a non-UEFI system
* booting from CD on a UEFI system
* booting from CD on a non-UEFI system
* booting from CD on an OSX system
Also tested that "nix-build ./nixos/release-combined.nix -A
nixos.iso_minimal.x86_64-linux -I nixpkgs=~/nixpkgs-r13y --check"
now succeeds.
Fixes#74047
This was broken in 460c0d6 (PR #90431); now the nixos-unstable channel
should get unblocked.
vcunat modified this commit to use env-var instead of hardcoding /build
Keeping the VM state test across several run sometimes lead to subtle
and hard to spot errors in practice. We delete the VM state which
contains (among other things) the qcow volume.
We also introduce a -K (--keep-vm-state) flag making VM state to
persist after the test run. This flag makes test-driver.py to match
its previous behaviour.
Turns out, on smaller images (~800MiB uncompressed sdcard image size),
the current fudge factor is way too small to even get the system to the
phase where it can resize itself.
I first tried with 1.05, but it wasn't enough.
xchg is advertised as a bidirectional exchange dir, but file content
transfer from host to VM fails due to caching:
If a file is read in the VM and then modified on the host, subsequent
re-reads in the VM can yield old, cached data.
This is caused by the use of 9p's cache=loose mode that is explicitly
meant for read-only mounts.
9p doesn't provide any suitable cache modes, so fix this by disabling
caching.
Also, remove a now unnecessary sync in the test driver.
These syncs have the goal to transfer host filesystem changes to the VM,
but they have no effect because 1) syncing in the VM can't possibly pull
in host data and 2) 9p is accessing the host filesystem on the cached
layer anyways, so even syncing on the host would have no effect in the
VM.
The test harness provides the commands it wishes to run in Bourne
syntax. This fails if the user uses a different shell. For example,
with fish:
machine.wait_for_unit("graphical-session.target", "alice")
machine # fish: Unsupported use of '='. To run '-u`' with a modified environment, please use 'env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u`…'
machine # XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/`id -u` systemctl --user --no-pager show "graphical-session.target"
machine # ^
machine # [ 16.329957] su[1077]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user alice
error: retrieving systemctl info for unit "graphical-session.target" under user "alice" failed with exit code 127
This completes the removal of the nested log feature, which previously
got removed from Nix, Hydra, stdenv and GNU Make. In particular, this
means that the output of VM builds no longer contains a copy of
jQuery.
If a program (e.g. nixos-install) writes more than 1000 lines to
stderr during execute(), then process_serial_output() deadlocks
waiting for the queue to be processed. So use an unbounded queue
instead.
We should probably get rid of the structured log output (log.xml),
since then we don't need the log queue anymore.
This avoids a possible surprise if the user is using `nixpkgs.system`
and `nesting.children`. `nesting.children` is expected to ignore all
parent configuration so we shouldn't propagate the user-facing option
`nixpkgs.system`. To avoid doing so, we introduce a new internal
option for holding the value passed to eval-config.nix, and use that
when recursing for nesting.
Most VM tests have been migrated to use the python test driver
(introduced in #71684), the migration is tracked in #72828 (which also
thankfully uncovered and fixed many currently broken tests)
While increasing the acceptance and adoption of NixOS integration tests
by using a more popular language, there was also nobody willing to do
larger refactors in the currently very convoluted test infrastructure.
We plan to remove the perl infrastructure between the 20.03 and 20.09
release, to be able to do these refactorings.
Some people might be using Perl tests in their internal CI, so print a
warning for 20.03, and give users time to move to the python testing
infrastructure.
According to https://repology.org/repository/nix_unstable/problems, we have a
lot of packages that have http links that redirect to https as their homepage.
This commit updates all these packages to use the https links as their
homepage.
The following script was used to make these updates:
```
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq '.[] | .problem' -r \
| rg 'Homepage link "(.+)" is a permanent redirect to "(.+)" and should be updated' --replace 's@$1@$2@' \
| sort | uniq > script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
The docstring says it uses a directory shared among all vms, although
that doesn't seem necessary for the functionality. However, it does need
to be consistent between the guest and host.
The codec format 'unicode_escape' was introduced in 52ee102 to handle
undecodable bytes in boot menus.
This made the problem worse as unicode chars outside of iso-8859-1
produce garbled output and valid utf-8 strings (such as "\x" ) trigger
decoding errors.
Fix this by using the default 'utf-8' codec and by explicitly ignoring
decoding errors.
This changes the python test driver to match the behavior of the perl
test driver. I.e. the directory mounted into /tmp/shared should be the
same for all machines.
This probably fixes many tests, but I found this while investigating
failures in nixos/tests/ceph-multi-node.nix.
While it's a good idea to automate the linting of the python code used
for our tests, I think that it can be quite distracting when hacking on
a NixOS test.
I figured that it might be more convenient to add an option as a
shortcut for this to avoid that everyone needs to dig into the test
driver again.
The upstream session files display managers use have no concept of sessions being composed from
desktop manager and window manager. To be able to set upstream session files as default
session, we need a single option. Having two different ways to set default session would be confusing,
though, so we decided to deprecate the old method.
We also created separate script for each session, just like we already had a separate desktop
file for each one, and started using displayManager.sessionPackages mechanism to make the
session handling more uniform.
When using `documentation.nixos.includeAllModules = true;` with external
modules, the string context might contain dependencies to derivations
and so `toFile` refuses to evaluate;
```
error: in 'toFile': the file 'options.xml' cannot refer to derivation outputs, at
[...]/nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-options-doc/default.nix:89:16
```
This is not an issue when using `writeText` (instead of manually
stripping the context).
The SLIM project is abandoned and their last release was in 2013.
Because of this it poses a security risk to systems, no one is working
on it or picked up maintenance. It also lacks compatibility with systemd
and logind sessions. For users, there liikely isn't anything like slim
that's as lightweight in terms of dependencies.
we previously immediately returned the first commands output, and didn't
execute any of the other commands.
Now, return the last commands output.
This should be documented in the method docstring.
Condition seems to be inverted. Crash and shutdown only make sense, when
the machine is booted; i.e. we return immediately otherwise.
In the Perl test driver this is:
return unless $self->{booted};
