sky1e: FYI your CLs are not stalled, they're just postponed because of the ongoing release I gathered. Good luck with that! | 14:01:25 |

 Yureka (she/her) | I am trying to update lixPackageSets.git inside nixpkgs | 10:10:43 |
| Yureka (she/her) | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/498762 | 10:10:44 |
| Yureka (she/her) | However the build is failing without an obvious error message | 10:11:05 |
| Yureka (she/her) | I bisected it to 357ee01002bc31229f444dc15fab6abf64f372c6
build: attempt to normalize Rust handling to support static linking | 10:11:13 |
| Yureka (she/her) | I already added rust-cbindgen | 10:11:38 |
| Yureka (she/her) | I don't see any other obvious changes to the packaging | 10:11:45 |

build: attempt to normalize Rust handling to support static linking Wasn't that the so unification commit? | 10:32:18 |
| piegames | If so, probably best to ask again on Zulip where our dragon can see it | 10:32:44 |

I think there were a few CLs on the Gerrit but nothing being actively worked The other thing that I could do if it helps is test things and try to find bugs. I did do some C++ work in the past, but may lack the time to do it justice here at least for about 30 days or so | 15:55:29 |
 Qyriad | we are not in any rush 🙂 | 17:20:53 |
| samrose | Would it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc? | 17:23:21 |
| Qyriad | absolutely | 17:23:41 |
| samrose |
- how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
| 17:23:48 |
| Qyriad | it's pitiful | 17:24:10 |
| samrose | heh | 17:24:16 |
 raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | expanding it is cool | 17:24:23 |
| raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | writing new tests for builtins which are not tested | 17:24:30 |
| raitobezarius (DECT: 7248) | new test behaviors, etc. | 17:24:32 |
| Qyriad | we have three flavors of test:
gtest (offer only available in libexpr and libutil) bash script virtual machine
the vast, vast majority of testing is in the "bash script" flavor and it is a mess | 17:25:01 |
| samrose | I was just going to ask on the "functional" tests: do we still like using bash there? | 17:25:56 |
| samrose | the last time that I worked on a major nix related cli project that used bash, or bats for testing, over time it became rather kind of hard to maintain | 17:26:42 |
| samrose | I am not usually a big python fan, but in that project we heard from some in the Rust community that they actually use Python to test CLI and seem to have success there. | 17:27:59 |
