@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusso let's keep it simple imho15:00:15
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈWill need to do that, since the auto-allocate-uids doesn't work otherwise, and I don't have a nixbld group, and I think the issue might not reproduce also15:01:03
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariussystemd-run -p Delegate=yes -p DelegateSubgroup=supervisor ...15:01:19
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈIs this better? https://gist.github.com/r-vdp/285482dfec28459e0e84f478582b8cca15:06:18
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ Just FYI, the original command that raito shared, used nix-build and not nix build, the latter needs ^out, the former doesn't 15:28:05
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Yeah, I was going off the issue and that stood out to me since the exit 0 was zero and no actual build happened.15:39:51
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈYeah, indeed, because I dropped the dash... I also realised just after pasting the output15:44:49
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)* Yeah, I was going off the issue and that stood out to me since the exit code was zero and no actual build happened.15:48:25
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius Ramses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ fixes were merged 18:17:11
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusplease confirm us this went away18:17:14
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius thank you for flying with Lix today 18:17:26
@rvdp:infosec.exchangeRamses πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈGreat, I'll try it out later tonight! 19:40:14

@samrose:matrix.orgsamrose
In reply to @lunaphied:lunaphied.me
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:katesiria.orgQyriadwe are not in any rush πŸ™‚17:20:53
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseWould it help to also test out the existing Lix code and try to find issues/bugs etc?17:23:21
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadabsolutely17:23:41
@samrose:matrix.orgsamrose
  • how do people feel about the existing test suite that comes along with nix source code or Lix?
17:23:48
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriadit's pitiful17:24:10
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseheh 17:24:16
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusexpanding it is cool17:24:23
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswriting new tests for builtins which are not tested17:24:30
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusnew test behaviors, etc.17:24:32
@qyriad:katesiria.orgQyriad we have three flavors of test:
  1. gtest (offer only available in libexpr and libutil)

  2. bash script

  3. virtual machine


the vast, vast majority of testing is in the "bash script" flavor and it is a mess
17:25:01
@samrose:matrix.orgsamroseI was just going to ask on the "functional" tests: do we still like using bash there?17:25:56
