split comes from builtins, not lib.
error: attribute 'split' missing, at /nix/path/nixpkgs/lib/sources.nix:4:4
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
I think there was a silent (i.e. semantic) merge conflict between PR #101139 and
PR #100456. This commit should fix the error, which manifests as follows:
error: undefined variable 'boolToString' at /home/kkini/src/nixpkgs/lib/types.nix:552:42
Nix can perform static scope checking, but whenever code is inside
a `with` expression, the analysis breaks down, because it can't
know statically what's in the attribute set whose attributes were
brought into scope. In those cases, Nix has to assume that
everything works out.
Except it doesnt. Removing `with` from lib/ revealed an undefined
variable in an error message.
If that doesn't convince you that we're better off without `with`,
I can tell you that this PR results in a 3% evaluation performance
improvement because Nix can look up local variables by index.
This adds up with applications like the module system.
Furthermore, removing `with` makes the binding site of each
variable obvious, which helps with comprehension.
Add a friendly function to easily return a flattened list of files
within a directory.
This is useful if you want to easily iterate or concatSep the list of
files all found within a directory.
(i.e. when constructing Java's CLASSPATH)

Previously if `_file` was specified by a module:
trace: warning: The type `types.string' of option `foo' defined in `/nix/store/yxhm2il5yrb92fldgriw0wyqh2kk9qyc-bug.nix' is deprecated. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66346 for better alternative types.
With this change:
trace: warning: The type `types.string' of option `foo' defined in `/home/infinisil/src/nixpkgs/bug.nix' is deprecated. See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/66346 for better alternative types.
If multiple definitions are passed, this evaluates them all as if they
were the only one, for a better error message. In particular this won't
show module-internal properties like `_type = "override"` and co.
- 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
This new type has unsurprising merge behavior: Only attribute sets are
merged together (recursively), and only if they don't conflict.
This is in contrast to the existing types:
- types.attrs is problematic because later definitions completely
override attributes of earlier definitions, and it doesn't support
mkIf and co.
- types.unspecified is very similar to types.attrs, but it has smart
merging behavior that often doesn't make sense, and it doesn't support
all types
The vision here is that configuration tools can generate .json or .toml
files, which can be plugged into an existing configuration.
Eg:
{ lib, ... }:
{
imports = [
(lib.modules.importJSON ./hardware-configuration.json)
];
}
Jasper has been marked insecure for a while, and upstream has not
been responsive to CVEs for over a year.
Fixes #55388.

Previously the only way to deprecate a type was using
theType = lib.warn "deprecated" (mkOptionType ...)
This caused the warning to be emitted when the type was evaluated, but
the error didn't include which option actually used that type.
With this commit, types can specify a deprecationMessage, which when
non-null, is printed along with the option that uses the type

It's not used at all in-tree now, so we can remove it completely after
any remaining users are given notice.
An easy-to-make mistake when declaring e.g. a submodule is the accidental
confusion of `options` and `config`:
types.submodule {
config = {
foo = mkOption { /* ... */ };
};
}
However the error-message
The option `[definition 1-entry 1].foo' defined in `<expr.nix>' does not exist.
is fairly unhelpful because it seems as the options are declared at the
first sight. In fact, it took a colleague and me a while to track down such
a mistake a few days ago and we both agreed that this should be somehow caught
to save the time we spent debugging the module in question.
At first I decided to catch this error in the `submodules`-type directly
by checking whether `options` is undeclared, however this becomes fairly
complicated as soon as a submodule-declaration e.g. depends on existing
`config`-values which would've lead to some ugly `builtins.tryExec`-heuristic.
This patch now simply checks if the option's prefix has any options
defined if a point in evaluation is reached where it's clear that the
option in question doesn't exist. This means that this patch doesn't
change the logic of the module system, it only provides a more detailed
error in certain cases:
The option `[definition 1-entry 1].foo' defined in `<expr.nix>' does not exist.
However it seems as there are no options defined in [definition 1-entry 1]. Are you sure you've
declared your options properly? This happens if you e.g. declared your options in `types.submodule'
under `config' rather than `options'.
The refactoring in fd75dc8765
introduced a mistake in the error message that doesn't show the full
context anymore. E.g. with this module:
options.foo.bar = lib.mkOption {
type = lib.types.submodule {
baz = 10;
};
default = {};
};
You'd get the error
The option `baz' defined in `/home/infinisil/src/nixpkgs/config.nix' does not exist.
instead of the previous
The option `foo.bar.baz' defined in `/home/infinisil/src/nixpkgs/config.nix' does not exist.
This commit undoes this regression
Submodules that have a freeform type set behave as if that was the type
of the option itself (for values that don't have an option). Since the
submodules options are shown as separate entries in the manual, it makes
sense to show the freeform type as the submodule type.
For programs that have a lot of (Nix-representable) configuration options,
a simple way to represent this in a NixOS module is to declare an
option of a type like `attrsOf str`, representing a key-value mapping
which then gets generated into a config file. However with such a type,
there's no way to add type checking for only some key values.
On the other end of the spectrum, one can declare a single separate
option for every key value that the program supports, ending up with a module
with potentially 100s of options. This has the benefit that every value
gets type checked, catching mistakes at evaluation time already. However
the disadvantage is that the module becomes big, becomes coupled to the
program version and takes a lot of effort to write and maintain.
Previously there was a middle ground between these two
extremes: Declare an option of a type like `attrsOf str`, but declare
additional separate options for the values you wish to have type
checked, and assign their values to the `attrsOf str` option. While this
works decently, it has the problem of duplicated options, since now both
the additional options and the `attrsOf str` option can be used to set a
key value. This leads to confusion about what should happen if both are
set, which defaults should apply, and more.
Now with this change, a middle ground becomes available that solves above
problems: The module system now supports setting a freeform type, which
gets used for all definitions that don't have an associated option. This
means that you can now declare all options you wish to have type
checked, while for the rest a freeform type like `attrsOf str` can be
used.
This fundamentally changes how the module evaluation internally
handles definitions without an associated option.
Previously the values of these definitions were discarded and only
the names were propagated. This was fine because that's all that's
needed for optionally checking whether all definitions have an
associated option with _module.check.
However with the upcoming change of supporting freeform modules,
we *do* need the values of these.
With this change, the module evaluation cleanly separates definitions
that match an option, and ones that do not.
`toHex` converts the given positive integer to a string of the hexadecimal
representation of that integer. For example:
```
toHex 0 => "0"
toHex 16 => "10"
toHex 250 => "FA"
```
`toBase base i` converts the positive integer `i` to a list of it
digits in the given `base`. For example:
```
toBase 10 123 => [ 1 2 3 ]
toBase 2 6 => [ 1 1 0 ]
toBase 16 250 => [ 15 10 ]
```
The previous hash was too short and caused evaluation-time errors like:
invalid SRI hash 'sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA='
Additionally, since the fact that this is broken implies that nobody
could have been using it, "SRI" is a bit of a vague and obscure term,
`fakeSriHash` would be somewhat of a mouthful, and the relevant fetcher
parameters are just called `hash`, rename it to `fakeHash`.
This is used in in the manual generation for option identifiers that can
be linked. This, unike what the example describes, doesn't preserve
quotes which is needed for these identifiers to be valid.
This reverts commit 124cccbe3b.
124cccbe3b
broke the build of NixOS manual.
It does not make sense to be as strict as with attributes since we
are not limited by the CLI's inability to handle numbers.
Placeholders should not be quoted either as they are not part of Nix
syntax but a meta-level construct.
