eldritch horrors 879b07fd3d libstore: treat more substituter failures as recoverable
if a substituter is entirely offline and cannot be queries at all we
should not be failing if other substituters are configured. likewise
if a substituter goes offline after querying but before we try using
it we should attempt to fetch that path from some other substituter.

ideally we'd treat all substituters as a single entity instead of as
one store each, then have that single entity take care of fallbacks,
retries, error reporting, etc. that requires larger rewrites though.

fixes #1061

piegamesandCommentator2.0 f1fbd1d095 libexpr: Warn on incorrect string usage
The indentation stripping semantics of strings are fairly bad and have a
few gotchas where they behave unintuitively. But the good news is, that
these cases are easy to catch and can be avoided.
This commit adds a warning in the parser when such strings are detected.

Unfortunately Nixpkgs uses this kind of a lot, so we won't be able to
actually enable this warning for a while to come.

Raito Bezarius e083a68a9f libstore/linux: forbid xattrs syscalls
xattrs are revealing some unfortunate brittleness in real world
derivations that are getting -EINVAL errors while executing their test
code.

The reason for this is that Linux checks [1] UID delegations for xattrs
writes.

In the Lix sandbox, except if you enabled a uid-range feature, you have
exactly 3 UIDs: root, nixbld and nobody.

If your test code makes use of UIDs which have not been delegated, you
will receive an EINVAL on your operation. Test code is not resilient
with respect to the number of available UIDs in their namespace.

To avoid further issues for end users who are running into spurious
derivation build failures, we forbid xattrs again for now.

For more information about the plans, please consult or chime in [2].

Fixes #1105. Reopens #838. Fixes #1103.

Rebecca Turnerandrootile cb34b56fea tests/functional2: Fix Python LSP by adjusting imports
See: cl/4840

When importing Python modules, we include `functional2` in the module
path, like this:

    from functional2.testlib.fixtures.env import ManagedEnv

This means that python expects to see a file like
`functional2/testlib/fixtures/env.py`. We run `pytest` from `tests/` in
the `justfile` and have `tests/functional2/__init__.py` so `pytest` in
`meson` is able to find these imports.

However, language servers generally consider the `pyproject.toml` to be
the project root, so (e.g.) `pyright` is unable to follow any of the
`functional2` imports, leading to lots of spurious errors.

In cl/4840 I moved `tests/functional2/pyproject.toml` to
`tests/pyproject.toml`, which worked but was considered aesthetically
unappealing.

This diff is much larger but it's a more elegant solution.

Raito Bezariusandeldritch horrors b6d5e3f05a libstore/platform/linux: allow xattrs in the sandbox
Fixes #838.

xattrs were historically disabled in 2017, since then, NFS v4.2 gained
support for xattrs and almost all filesystems support xattrs. In
addition, moving the build directory to a xattrs-supporting filesystem
is always an option. Programs may exploit xattrs (including ACLs) during
their build process and testing phase, to better serve these programs,
we will remove this limitation.

Lix will use POSIX ACLs for its UNIX domain sockets in the future and be
one of these programs which will run tests making use of xattrs, while
not writing any xattrs in the derivation outputs themselves.

xattrs are still scrubbed from derivation outputs so it is not possible
to obtain an advantage by writing a security-related xattr to a well
chosen file.

Tests were added to test these scenarios on Linux. Darwin is carefully
excluded because of #1008 and #1090, solving that is welcome. In the
meantime, they are marked xfail.

eldritch horrors 8285288540 libexpr: fix app chain extension
during the value rewrite we accidentally broke extension of incomplete
primop application. this only shows up when binding on incomplete call
to a primop to a name, binding an incomplete call to *that* to another
name, and then finally calling the second binding with enough args for
a complete primop application. since this only shows up when calling a
primop with three or more args it took a while to surface. we have few
builtins that match this: foldl', replaceStrings, and substring. these
are not used incompletely in this manner very often, so this lingered.

Raito Bezarius e9cccd47e2 libstore/build: report better error messages for --check
When --check is ran with no output, this is seen as having *SOME*
invalid outputs, actually, ALL of them are invalid here.

Instead of reporting a confusing error, let's consider ALL of outputs
being invalid to be no output at all available and advise the user to
rerun the build without --check.

If there's *some* (>0) invalid outputs, let's print them exactly to give
a chance to the user to remediate this.

Fixes #485.

Raito Bezarius b730fab286 f2/testlib/env: build initial path via build_env
`build_env` is assumed to be a certain trivial environment, e.g. a
singleton search path.

An environment in general is either empty, contain one or more search
paths separated by a colon.

It seems that the intent was to set the `build_shell` first as a
prepended path in the managed environment then extend via the
`build_env` parts.

This fixes a usecase when the `BUILD_TEST_ENV` is non-trivial.

eldritch horrors 56d6ac3114 *: wrap nlohmann exceptions at the source
nlohmann has customization points for exception throws. we can use these
instead and wrap json exceptions at the source instead of playing a game
of whack-a-mole with json errors all over the tree. since nlohmann needs
macros set to achieve this we can no longer precompile its headers *and*
must forbid including it anywhere without the proper defines or ordering
of include directives will break lix with ODR violations, if we see them
at all before we get another json-related bug report. a new lint will be
in charge of ensuring this doesn't happen. we also re-allow direct calls
to nlohmann json parsing since error handling is no longer a problem. we
will keep the wrapper for more convenient error context handling though.

piegames ee608784dd libexpr/eval: Refactor force* and eval*, introduce check*
Status quo: We have `force$Type` and `eval$Type`, both which first
produce a value and then do a type check. The type checking logic is not
consistently implemented, with lots of code duplication.
This change does:

- Introduce new `check*` functions which unify the logic (the error
handling unfortunately still needs some duplication for now)
- Make both `force*` and `eval*` use the `check*` function for the
actual type checking
- Inline and dismantle the `eval*` functions for being of little use and
little used. This makes the `ExprOp*::eval` implementations for binary
logic operators more verbose, but IMO that's a good thing: The
implementation now needs to be a lot more explicit about the
short-circuiting semantics, something which was previously hidden behind
the short-circuiting semantics of the C++ language, in a way that could
easily be overlooked and lead to confusion, which is something that
happened to me twice in a year.
- Changes `forceAttrs` and `forceList` to include the context in case
`forceValue` fails (compared to only when the type check fails). This
was done for code consistency, because I could not find any reason why
list and attrs had different semantics here than int, float and bool. So
far the visible change is minimal (see the diff on the err.exp), however
this needs vetting for potential performance regressions.
