bash-5.2# "$(nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command eval --file '<nixpkgs>' --raw shadow)/bin/useradd" "$username"
useradd: cannot open /etc/passwd
Even if I could, it looks like su doesn't work either:
bash-5.2# su --login nobody
su: pam_start: error 26

this is #testing:nixos.org not #nix:nixos.org Yes, I'm doing this to test with Nix | 20:02:38 |
| raitobezarius | yep but separate concern | 20:02:46 |
| l0b0 | Oh, OK. | 20:03:14 |

| bendlas | I'm interested in implementing a few new nixos tests for postgres, but I haven't gone much into the test suite so far yet. I got the impression that there is something more recent floating around than testing-python.nix. What's the latest on testing? What can/should I use for new tests, for this release already? | 00:59:08 |
| bendlas | Is there a way to define tests as nixos modules? | 00:59:10 |

Is there a way to define tests as nixos modules? Oh yes. Have a look at https://github.com/l0b0/nixpkgs/tree/master/nixos/tests | 06:13:23 |
| bendlas | In reply to @vengmark2:matrix.org
Oh yes. Have a look at https://github.com/l0b0/nixpkgs/tree/master/nixos/tests I know that folder. Is there any particular test that you would like me to look at for an example? | 12:58:21 |
| bendlas | or is your point that import ./make-test-python.nix already accepts a nixos module? | 13:00:29 |
| raitobezarius | Make test Python takes a set of NixOS systems | 13:02:13 |
| raitobezarius | Which can contain any NixOS modules | 13:02:21 |
| bendlas | and how about the tests themselves? say if I want to run the same test with many different parameter sets ... can I use module logic to generate the various instances? | 13:03:48 |
| raitobezarius | You can just use a function to generate the Cartesian product of your variants | 13:04:15 |
| bendlas | And also to the second part of my question: Is make-test-python & friends the only game in town? | 13:04:20 |
| raitobezarius | You don't need to use a nixos module for that | 13:04:21 |
| raitobezarius | We have examples already of such tests | 13:04:27 |
| raitobezarius | You just parametrize the test | 13:04:39 |
| bendlas | In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
You don't need to use a nixos module for that might have been convenient though ... but ok, I'm taking that as a "no" | 13:05:56 |
