Not all modules use name attribute as the name of the submodule, for example,
environment.etc uses target. We will need to maintain a list of exceptions.
The standard attrsOf is strict in its *values*, meaning it's impossible to
access only one attribute value without evaluating all others as well.
lazyAttrsOf is a version that doesn't have that problem, at the expense
of conditional definitions not properly working anymore.
Without this change, accessing `mergedValue` from `mergeDefinitions` in
case there are no definitions will throw an error like
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'This case should never happen.'
This change makes it throw the appropriate error
error: The option `foo' is used but not defined.
This is fully backwards compatible.
Fix the broken test in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/77416
Apparently hydra uses `nix-build lib/tests/release.nix` to run all
tests, where IFD isn't allowed. Fortunately we can get around this with
builtins.toFile, which doesn't require IFD, but still can test the
properties we want.
This fixes imports from the store not being possible, which was caused by
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/76857
E.g. such a case:
imports = [ "${home-manager}/nixos" ];
With this change, disabledModules applies recursively, meaning if you
have a module "foo.nix" with
imports = [ ./bar.nix ];
then setting
disabledModules = [ "foo.nix" ];
will disable both "foo.nix" and "bar.nix", whereas previously only
"foo.nix" would be disabled.
This change along with https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/61570 allows
modules to be fully disabled even when they have some `mkRenamedOption`
imports.
Previously when this function was called without a value coercible to a
string it would throw an error instead of returning false. Now it does.
As a result this now allows the use of a type like `either path attrs`
without it erroring out when a definition is an attribute set.
The warning about there not being a isPath primop was removed because
this is not the case anymore, there is builtins.isPath. But also there
always was `builtins.typeOf x == "path"` that could've been used
instead. However the path type now stands for more than just path types,
but absolute paths in general.
If I understand correctly, the problem isn't so much that you're assigning to
that top-level attribute, but that the assignment to the attribute (or any
child of the attribute) introduces the 'config' object and prevents 'lifting'
all settings to a generated 'config' object.
This reverts commit eec83d41e3.
This broke hydra evaluation because with this commit submodule values
are allowed to be paths, however the certmgr module uses `either
(submodule ...) path` in its type, meaning it already used paths for
something else which would now be interpreted as a submodule.
`pipe` is a useful operator for creating pipelines of functions.
It works around the usual problem of e.g. string operations becoming
deeply nested functions.
In principle, there are four different ways this function could be
written:
pipe val [ f1 .. fn ]
pipe val [ fn .. f1 ]
compose [ f1 .. fn ] val
compose [ fn .. f1 ] val
The third and fourth form mirror composition of functions, they would
be the same as e.g. `(f1 << f2 << f3 .. << fn) val`.
However, it is not clear which direction the list should have (as one
can see in the second form, which is the most absurd.
In order not to confuse users, we decide for the most “intuitive”
form, which mirrors the way unix pipes work (thus the name `pipe`).
The flow of data goes from left to right.

We don't want to ignore config that can mess up machines. In general
this should always fail evaluation, as you think you are changing
behaviour and don't, which can easily create run-time errors we can
catch early.
Previously mkRemovedOptionModule would only show the replacement
instructions when the removed option was *defined*. With this change, it
also does so when an option is *used*.
This is essential for options that are only intended to be used such as
`security.acme.directory`, whose replacement instructions would never
trigger without this change because almost everybody only uses the
option and isn't defining it.
