@k900:0upti.meK900At that scale you basically have to run your own infra13:46:08

@ginkogruen:matrix.orgginkogruen

I’m using the git version of lix from nixpkgs on my mac. But I somehow don’t get a cached build (which I think I did previously) and it fails during building when running tests.

       > FAILED ../tests/functional2/commands/test_build/test_reference_checks.py::test_regression_partial_build[files0]
       > FAILED ../tests/functional2/commands/test_build/test_reference_checks.py::test_structured_attrs_discard[files0]

Is this something known because I couldn’t find issues (on nixpkgs & lix) regarding that so far?

@marie:marie.cologneMarie it's the name of the company 13:52:21
@marie:marie.cologneMariethey have their own tld because they have too much money13:52:30
@truh:matrix.orgtruhclaiming a color for your company tld is almost as annoying as .fox13:53:44
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusif you are private cloud shaped, OpenStack makes sense14:11:47
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusceph is a filesystem technology14:11:53
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuscontainers is one way to offer compute, it's orthogonal to openstack14:12:04
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusyou compare OpenStack to like commercial products that VMware offers14:12:19
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuson mac, we know there are issues with macOS14:13:20
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusespecially on Tahoe14:13:27

Thanks for pointing me to the issue :) This will arrive in nixpkgs relatively soon right?
14:17:13
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthere's no true fix for now14:17:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthe workaround is to do doCheck = false; or retry frequently enough14:17:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswe are a bit blocked because introducing the shebang breaks things and we need to introduce the shebang i feel like14:18:00
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi have no idea yet how we are going to overcome this14:18:05
@ginkogruen:matrix.orgginkogruenMaybe I’ll pin lix then until it’s fixed.14:18:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusit's not a lix regression alas14:18:27
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswhat Lix (and Nix) have been doing has always been considered unsafe to some extent by macOS I think14:18:44
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusrecent macOS upgrades started to exhibit breakage harder14:18:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariussufficiently so that everyone runs into it from time to time14:18:58
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius it unfortunately also extend to nix-shell -p itself 14:19:14
@ginkogruen:matrix.orgginkogruenOh then I’ve misunderstood what this build failure is about.14:19:20
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius (or any runCommand primitive) 14:19:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius I'm not sure neither what it is, but there's an ongoing major problem with macOS related to the execution of anything without a shebang, we fixed many of those but nix-shell-based workloads are broken and we test many things in the testsuite 14:19:59
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(are broken non-deterministically, that is, they work N % of the time)14:20:16
@ginkogruen:matrix.orgginkogruen

Oh macOS could you please just work and not cause issues.

Thanks for the info I’ll guess then I’ll either run the slot machine or disable checks. Thanks for looking into it or at least trying to come up with a fix to this.
