@bjth:matrix.orgBryan HonofHey all, I was wondering if maybe I could help with the dynamic derivations experimental feature. Both in testing it out, and helping it move along. From what I can see it's currently blocked on this issue https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8602, but I might be completely wrong on that one. What else is there to be done in that area?21:37:10

@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria

Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): i finished https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13757

John Ericson i kind of went a bit wild in that and used c++ to setup the test case... There's so little examples of how to setup a Store etc.. in a unit test.
I wanted to see what that's like rather than just a functional bash test.

05:22:12
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria1 line fix, 200 line test05:22:52
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonthere is a GTest class in libstore test support that opens a store btw05:24:05
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericsonmaybe that will help?05:24:09
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson* there is a GTest class in libstore-test-support that opens a store btw05:24:21
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson I forget whether it is a dummy:// store 05:24:28
@Ericson2314:matrix.orgJohn Ericson(got to go to bed now, though)05:26:08
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariagnight! I think the Input has to actually write to the store ? so dummy:// isn't good enough (i think?)05:27:54
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria I thought maybe there could be memory:// but I got it all working... the auto registering of things so you can just do "auto" was really confusing to learn 05:28:21
