It is quite complicated to test services using the test-driver when
declaring user services with `systemd.user.services` such as many
X11-based services like `xautolock.service`.
This change adds an optional `$user` parameter to each systemd-related
function in the test-driver and runs `systemctl --user` commands using
`su -l $user -c ...` and sets the `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` variable
accordingly and a new function named `systemctl` which is able to run a
systemd command with or without a specified user.
The change can be confirmed with a simple VM declaration like this:
```
import ./nixos/tests/make-test.nix ({ pkgs, lib }:
with lib;
{
name = "systemd-user-test";
nodes.machine = {
imports = [ ./nixos/tests/common/user-account.nix ];
services.xserver.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.enable = true;
services.xserver.displayManager.auto.user = "bob";
services.xserver.xautolock.enable = true;
};
testScript = ''
$machine->start;
$machine->waitForX;
$machine->waitForUnit("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->stopJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->startJob("xautolock.service", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("list-jobs --no-pager", "bob");
$machine->systemctl("show 'xautolock.service' --no-pager", "bob");
'';
})
```
Fakeroot seems to always give the owner write bit to any files touched
inside it (presumably to easily simulate the fact that root can still
modify such files). So do an explicit chmod to remove them.
This should finally solve #32242 after the EC2 images are regenerated
with this change.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/66143116
This fixes#28768 because during an image build, Nix sees bad store
timestamps and attempts to fix them, but can't fix them on a running
system (due to being inside a builder). Since timestamps on the store
are supposed to be 1 anyway, if we fix this, that fixes image building
inside booted images made this way.
Note that this adds quite a bit of noise to the output, because running
`cptofs` under `faketime` causes a bunch of seemingly spurious error
messages and my attempts to suppress them all failed. We'll fix it when
`cptofs` gets a native timestamp preservation feature.
-s, --script: never prompts for user intervention
Sometimes the NixOS installer tests fail when they invoke parted, e.g.
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/62513826/nixlog/1. But instead of exiting
right there, the tests hang until the Nix builder times out (and kills
the build). With this change the tests would instead fail immediately,
which is preferred.
While at it, use "parted --script" treewide, so nobody gets build
timeout due to parted error (or misuse). (Only nixos/ use it, and only
non-interactive.)
A few instances already use the short option "-s", convert them to long
option "--short".
Regression introduced by a02bb00156.
The fix is done by disabling writableStore, because the latter will set
up an overlayfs on the Nix store within the VM, which in turn will
discard all the outputs of the resulting output path.
However in runInMachine we actually *want* the contents of the generated
path and also don't want a writable store within the VM (except of
course for $out, which is writable anyway).
I've added a small regression test to verifify the output in
nixos/tests/run-in-machine.nix to make sure this won't break again in
the future.

This version should have more conventional regexes that work across many
platforms and regex engines. This is an issue because up until Nix 1.11,
Nix called out to the libc regex matcher, which behaved differently on
Darwin and Linux. And in Nix 1.12, we're moving to std::regex which will
also behave differently here.
And yes, I do actually evaluate make-disk-image.nix on Darwin ;)

to help debug the problem. Notice the "logine" typo in my check.
This changes much of the make-disk-image.nix logic (and thus most NixOS
image building) to use LKL to set up the target directory structure rather
than a Linux VM. The only work we still do in a VM is less IO-heavy stuff
that while still time-consuming, is less of the overall load. The goal is
to kill more of that stuff, but that will require deeper changes to NixOS
activation scripts and switch-to-configuration.pl, and I don't want to
bite off too much at once.
First of all, we're now using ImageMagick to improve the screenshot so
that Tesseract has an esier time to recognize the text. The resulting
image of this post-processing is a scaled up black-and-white version
with the backgrounds almost entirely removed and the text edges a bit
blurred, so the screen shots now more or less resemble an image from a
scanner rather. This is what Tesseract is trained for by default.
As mentioned in the previous commit we now also use Tesseract 4, which
further improves the quality of text recognition.
I've spent countless hours just to test different postprocessing
variants and testing what works best for our tests and this is the one
that worked best so far. It's certainly not perfect and I'd like to
avoid the scaling step but we're way better off than before.
In addition to this, the OCR process is now done without an intermediate
file, solely using pipes.
I've tested this using the following VM tests which have OCR enabled:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix
* nixos/tests/installer.nix -A luksroot
* nixos/tests/lightdm.nix
* nixos/tests/plasma5.nix
* nixos/tests/sddm.nix
All of the tests still succeed and comparing some of the recognition
results to the earlier results it now also detects a lot more text than
before this commit.

I've removed that attribute in 68bc260ca2,
because the language files no longer were distributed as seperate files,
but if we for example only want to use the English training data, the
closure size of Tesseract gets quite large (around 1.2 GB), which is a
bit much just to be able to run NixOS VM tests.
For this reason I've also switched the VM tests back to using only the
English language.
Tested using the following VM tests (the ones that have OCR enabled) on
x86_64-linux:
* nixos/tests/chromium.nix -A stable
* nixos/tests/emacs-daemon.nix

This makes make-disk-image.nix slightly more consistent with other image
builders we have. Unfortunately I duplicated some code in doing so, but
this is temporary duplication on the path to consolidating everything.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/23052 for more details on that.
I'm also exposing the option in the amazon-image.nix maintainer module.
A long-time issue and one of the reasons I've never used that function
before. So let's remove that todo-comment and escape the contents
properly.

`configuration` seems to be a reference to an argument that was
removed seven years ago in commit 2892aed7.
`configuration.nix` makes it a big more clear what we're referring to.
Ensure that archive members are added in sorted order with a fixed
mtime. This allows `nix-build --check` to succeed (when building a
tarball of a simple system configuration).
We also remove env-vars which doesn't appear to do much apart from
capture a bunch of store paths we probably don't want.
This is an alternative to

Previously we were using two or three (qemu_kvm, qemu_test, and
qemu_test with a different dbus when minimal.nix is included).
(cherry picked from commit 8bfa4ce82e)
From the upstream changelog:
* Tesseract development is now done with Git and hosted at github.com
(Previously we used Subversion as a VCS and code.google.com for
hosting).
So let's move over to the GitHub repository, where the organisation also
includes a full repository for tessdata, so we no longer need to fetch
it one-by-one.
The build also got significantly simpler, because we no longer need to
run autoconf, neither do we need to patch the configure script for
Leptonica headers.
This also has the advantage that we don't need to use the
enableLanguages attribute for the test runner anymore.

https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/blob/c4d273d33cc36e/ChangeLog
Tested against all NixOS tests with enabled OCR (chromium, emacs-daemon,
installer.luksroot and lightdm).

tune2fs marks the filesystem as clean to prevent resize2fs from
complaining.
But we were invoking it before we mounted the filesystem, so the
counters would increase to 1 and it broke the functionality.
By moving the call after the mount, I have confirmed it works by:

- Replace hand-rolled version of nixos-install in make-disk-image by an
actual call to nixos-install
- Required a few cleanups of nixos-install
- nixos-install invokes an activation script which the hand-rolled version
in make-disk-image did not do. We remove /etc/machine-id as that's
a host-specific, impure, output of the activation script
Testing:
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' -A tests.installer.simple passes
Also tried generating an image with:
nix-build -E 'let
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
lib = pkgs.lib;
nixos = import <nixpkgs/nixos> {
configuration = {
fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/disk/by-label/nixos";
boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "/dev/sda" ];
boot.loader.grub.extraEntries = '"''"'
menuentry "Ubuntu" {
insmod ext2
search --set=root --label ubuntu
configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg
}
'"''"';
};
};
in import <nixpkgs/nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix> {
inherit pkgs lib;
config = nixos.config;
diskSize = 2000;
partitioned = false;
installBootLoader = false;
}'
Then installed the image:
$ sudo df if=./result/nixos.img of=/dev/sdaX bs=1M
$ sudo resize2fs /dev/disk/by-label/nixos
$ sudo mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
$ sudo mount --rbind /proc /mnt/proc
$ sudo mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
$ sudo chroot /mnt /nix/var/nix/profiles/system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
[ … optionally do something about passwords … ]
and successfully rebooted to that image.
Was doing all this from inside a Ubuntu VM with a single user nix install.
The tests need to expand passed variable and very carefully.
I could see no other easy way than to change single-quoting in
makeWrapper to double-quoting.
The tests now fail with the same problem as on master...
Regression introduced by d84741a4bf.
The mentioned commit actually is a good thing, because we now get the
output from the X session.
Unfortunately, for the i3wm test, the i3-config-wizard prints out the
raw keyboard symbols directly coming from xcb, so the output isn't
necessarily proper UTF-8.
As the XML::Writer already expects valid UTF-8 input, we assume that
everything that comes into sanitise() will be UTF-8 from the start. So
we just decode() it using FB_DEFAULT as the check argument so that
every invalid character is replaced by the unicode replacement
character:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)#Replacement_character
We simply re-oncode it again afterwards and return it, so we should
always get out valid UTF-8 in the log XML.

We now generate a qcow2 image to prevent hitting Hydra's output size
limit. Also updated /root/user-data -> /etc/ec2-metadata/user-data.
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/33843133
Previously this was done in three derivations (one to build the raw
disk image, one to convert to OVA, one to add a hydra-build-products
file). Now it's done in one step to reduce the amount of copying
to/from S3. In particular, not uploading the raw disk image prevents
us from hitting hydra-queue-runner's size limit of 2 GiB.
- Enforce that an option declaration has a "defaultText" if and only if the
type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig"
and if a "default" attribute is defined.
- Enforce that the value of the "example" attribute is wrapped with "literalExample"
if the type of the option derives from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if a "defaultText" is defined in an option declaration if the type of
the option does not derive from "package", "packageSet" or "nixpkgsConfig".
- Warn if no "type" is defined in an option declaration.
This prevents seeing lots of warnings about missing hashes/sizes in the
database when running "nix-store --verify --check-contents" for the
first time.
The EBS and S3 (instance-store) AMIs are now created from the same
image. HVM instance-store AMIs are also generated.
Disk image generation has been factored out into a function
(nixos/lib/make-disk-image.nix) that can be used to build other kinds
of images.
The resulting image can be copied to a SD card with `dd` and is directly
bootable by a suitably configured U-Boot. Though depending on the board, some
extra steps are required for copying U-Boot itself to the SD card.
Inside the image is a partition table, with a FAT32 /boot and a normal
writable EXT4 rootfs. It's possible to directly reuse the SD image's
partition layout and "install" NixOS on the same SD card by replacing
the default configuration.nix and nixos-rebuild, and actually is the
preferred way to use these images. To assist in this installation
method, the boot scripts on the image automatically resize the rootfs
partition to fit the SD card on the first boot.
The SD images come in two flavors; one for the ARMv6 Raspberry Pi,
and one multiplatform image for all the boards supported by the
mainline kernel's multi_v7_defconfig config target. At the moment, these
have been tested on:
- Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB model)
- NVIDIA Jetson TK1
- Linksprite pcDuino3 Nano
To build, run:
nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.sdImage \
-I nixos-config='<nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/sd-image-armv7l-multiplatform.nix>'
Only include the English language for the VM tests, because we most
likely won't need other languages. At least for now.

By default this is now enabled, and it has to be explicitely enabled
using "enableOCR = true". If it is set to false, any usage of
getScreenText or waitForText will fail with an error suggesting to pass
enableOCR.
This should get rid of the rather large dependency on tesseract which
we don't need for most tests.
Note, that I'm using system("type -P") here to check whether tesseract
is in PATH. I know it's a bashism but we already have other bashisms
within the test scripts and we also run it with bash, so IMHO it's not a
problem here.

As promised in the previous commit, this can be used similarly to

Basically, this creates a screenshot and throws tesseract at it to
recognize the characters from the screenshot. In order to produce a
result that is well enough, we're using lanczos scaling and scale the
image up to 400% of its original size.
This provides the base functionality for a new Machine method which will
be called waitForText. I originally had that idea long ago when writing
the VM tests for VirtualBox and Chromium, but thought it would be
disproportionate to the case.
The downside however is that VM tests now depend on tesseract, but given
the average runtime of our tests it really shouldn't have a too big
impact and it's only a runtime dependency after all.
Another issue is that the OCR process takes quite some time to finish,
but IMHO it's better (as in more deterministic) than to rely on sleep().

This changes the bootloader for iso generation from Grub to
syslinux. In addition this adds USB booting support, so that
"dd" can be used to burn the generated ISO to USB thumbdrives
instead of needing applications like UnetBootin.
Ideally the module system could be configured pretty much completely by
the contents of the modules themselves, so add comments about avoiding
complicating it further and possibly removing now-redundant
configurability from the existing interface.
This is useful for adding extra functionality or defaults to _every_
nixos evaluation.
My use case is overriding behaviour for all nixos tests, for example
setting packageOverrides to newer versions and changing some default
dependencies/settings.
By making this accessible through an environment variable, this can now
be fully accomplished externally. No more need to fork
nixos/nixpkgs (which becomes a maintenance burden), just use the channel
instead and plug in via this envvar.

The current way test reports get jquery,

only works when getting reports over http:// or https://, not file://.
Change it so that it works for all protocols by using a local copy of
jquery.
This fixes the issue where locally created and browsed test reports
cannot be navigated properly; clicking the '+' symbol to expand
sub-sections doesn't work.
Now you can just say:
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>'
You can still get the driver script for interactive testing:
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A driver
$ ./result/bin/nixos-test-driver
You can now run a test in the nixos/tests directory directly using
nix-build, e.g.
$ nix-build '<nixos/tests/login.nix>' -A test
This gets rid of having to add the test to nixos/tests/default.nix.
(Of course, you still need to add it to nixos/release.nix if you want
Hydra to run the test.)
This reverts commit 4e6eae45ee. It
breaks running the test driver interactively (in that it causes all
VMs to be started immediately, which is not always what you wnat).
