 Lily Foster | (i doubt that's relevant for determining cause) | 17:39:19 |
| Lily Foster | replicate via what command? | 17:39:31 |
| Lily Foster | never mind, found the issue | 17:44:33 |
| Lily Foster | (and yeah can also confirm the cppnix error message being misleading is a >2.18 regression) | 17:45:43 |
| Lily Foster | this doesn't work on macOS because /var is a symlink: https://github.com/ofborg/ofborg-infrastructure/blob/13030f577a3d110d68edfc9416382c81a09fba46/non-critical-infra/modules/ofborg/ofborg-config.nix#L78 | 17:46:14 |
| Lily Foster | tracing through the call points in the ofborg code | 17:46:27 |
| Lily Foster | basically it sets ofborg-nixpkgs-pr=/var/lib/ofborg/checkout/... but when it cd's to /var/lib/ofborg/checkout/... and attempts to eval ./default.nix, cppnix sees it as as /private/var/lib/ofborg/checkout/.../default.nix, which causes evaluator to throw error since only /var/lib/ofborg/checkout is in NIX_PATH | 17:48:42 |
| Lily Foster | yeah looks like cppnix does absPath on the file/dir to evaulate before sending it to evaluator: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/693a38ae2e6d6bcbe39ec1d4034821d6f90cf9f5/src/nix-build/nix-build.cc#L355 | 17:54:31 |
| Lily Foster | easiest "fix" to make it not explode in the case where it's configured to use a checkout dir that has a symlink in a path segment is probably to add a .canonicalize() to https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg/blob/cbf0c619db7750de1e7b575ade14d0ef35a1bde3/ofborg/src/checkout.rs#L17 | 17:57:19 |
| Lily Foster | actually probably here since it can't canonicalize a path that may not exist yet: https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg/blob/cbf0c619db7750de1e7b575ade14d0ef35a1bde3/ofborg/src/checkout.rs#L94 | 17:59:54 |

| Lily Foster | ( Janne Heß if you wanted the fix to the macOS builders failing to evaluate anything ^) | 18:03:15 |

 Janne Heß | Lily Foster: Whoa, thank you for the research <3 Looking into it right now | 15:37:45 |
| Janne Heß | I don't really understand your point about the canonicalize() through. If I canonicalize the path in rust, and give it to nix, wouldn't that mean that nix still tries to access /private? | 15:39:16 |

I don't really understand your point about the canonicalize() through. If I canonicalize the path in rust, and give it to nix, wouldn't that mean that nix still tries to access /private? yes but the ofborg-nixpkgs-pr in NIX_PATH would then include /private so nix would allow it under restricted eval | 17:39:13 |
| Lily Foster | * yes but the ofborg-nixpkgs-pr in NIX_PATH would then include /private/... so nix would allow it under restricted eval | 17:39:31 |
| Janne Heß | Ahhh I see. Thanks I will try that | 19:07:24 |
