@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius and also because we cannot do sandbox indeed 16:05:00
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily diverted store = chroot store? 16:05:10
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusyep16:05:13
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi got bitten by trying to test if repair worked on darwin as well like this yesterday16:05:24

In reply to @raitobezarius:matrix.org
so broken symlinks would surface as an exception and break the setup
I think "broken symlink" may actually have been about the file being a symlink which is bound and the target not existing in the sandbox.

No
16:05:48
@k900:0upti.meK900 But I was worried it could happen 16:05:53
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily I don't know the threat model of the CI builders but it would be really nice to have sandbox testing by way of _NIX_TEST_NO_SANDBOX=1. 16:06:06
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI wonder if we should just build a test for it16:06:08

CI builders lives themselves in a user namespace
16:06:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusor on the baremetal for some of them16:06:26
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilymacOS16:06:27
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyno such thing16:06:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusah yes16:06:31
@k900:0upti.meK900 The actual problem this fixed was some convoluted symlink setup that I forgot why it's like that 16:06:33
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusfor macOS, they live on the baremetal16:06:42
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthere's no true threat model16:06:44
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyso every tested build runs on persistent bare metal and the Nix sandbox isn't even turned on?16:07:00
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius
In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
so every tested build runs on persistent bare metal and the Nix sandbox isn't even turned on?
I'm like almost certain that the Nix sandbox isn't even turned on on these builders yep
16:07:19
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBasically, all of this is blocked on Darwin sysadmin16:07:27
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's not because if it was you'd have caught the UDS regression 😆16:07:33
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariussowwy16:07:42
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyeven ofborg insisted on the sandbox to remove the allow list of users on Darwin :P16:07:46
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilybut ok16:07:50
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut if you open an issue in Lix regarding this16:07:54
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusand you put the requirements for the CI16:07:59
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI can take a look once I have some Darwin sysadmin to dedicate16:08:05
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywhy does that sound like it's going to get assigned to me? :)16:08:17
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(I know I make you all open issues, but I swear we close them, right?)16:08:20
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI put up https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3521 FWIW although I ran out of time box and didn't fix it16:08:26
