 emily | well I am way too tired to do it | 20:46:28 |
| emily | but we should probably land a disabledTests one-liner | 20:46:40 |
| emily | since we're like a month behind on staging | 20:46:51 |

uh oh | 20:50:41 |
| emily | anyone remember when | 20:52:41 |
 K900 | Yes | 20:52:49 |
| emily | who remembers this nostalgic moment? only 90s kids know | 20:52:53 |
| K900 | On it | 20:52:58 |

| emily | (I wish we had good eval testing for NixOS modules) | 20:53:57 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | its hard | 20:54:17 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | how would you test all permutations of options to make sure eval is fine? You basically can't | 20:54:35 |
| emily | I would simply solve it | 20:58:41 |
| emily | tbh the module system already defers a lot of that stuff in a way that makes it easier to cross-check | 20:59:09 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | sure, but how? Quantum computer evaluating all possible nix configs at once? 😆 | 20:59:25 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | i mean, some simple heuristics would already help, like test rebuilds and seeing whether test configs still eval | 21:00:07 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | but a complete eval test as we have for packages is imo impossible | 21:00:26 |
| emily | I mean if you have mkIf x y | 21:02:28 |
| emily | then y gets included in the intermediate results | 21:02:34 |
| emily | it is more structured than completely raw language conditionals, you can see more branches at once | 21:02:55 |
| emily | anyway, we don't need to test every combination, we don't for packages either | 21:03:10 |
| emily | it's just NixOS tests are expensive for spot-checking | 21:03:18 |
| emily | (I bet we could do a model checker thing for complete coverage. a thing that is famously not expensive) | 21:03:41 |
| emily | K900: why do we need the Qt 5 thing | 21:07:43 |
| emily | I guess just because Qt 5? | 21:07:52 |
| K900 | Yes | 21:08:01 |
| K900 | I am cooking | 21:08:03 |
| K900 | Let me cook | 21:08:04 |
| emily | 🍳 | 21:08:13 |
| emily | drop qt 5 when | 21:08:17 |
