The reason for this is that `sudo(8)` writes the lecture to the
tty[1] and only as a fallback to stdout[2]. This means that the
`base64 --wrap 0` executed by `machine.execute()` doesn't affect the
text written to the terminal, however the lecture is part of the string
that's read from the VM via `shell.recv()`.
I confirmed the problem in an interactive test session[3]:
>>> command = "sudo -u test5 sudo -n -u root true"
>>> out_command = f"( set -euo pipefail; {command} ) | (base64 --wrap 0; echo)\n"
>>> machine.shell.send(out_command.encode())
84
>>> machine # [ 99.015512] sudo[877]: root : TTY=hvc0 ; PWD=/tmp ; USER=test5 ; COMMAND=/run/wrappers/bin/sudo -n -u root true
machine # [ 99.019373] sudo[877]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user test5(uid=1005) by (uid=0)
machine # [ 99.038692] sudo[879]: pam_unix(sudo:auth): conversation failed
machine # sudo: a password is required
machine # [ 99.041860] sudo[879]: pam_unix(sudo:auth): auth could not identify password for [test5]
machine # [ 99.046901] sudo[877]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user test5
>>>
>>> x=machine._next_newline_closed_block_from_shell()
>>> print(x)

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
<newline>
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
<newline>
<newline>
<newline>

Since the lecture isn't strictly necessary to confirm that
`security.sudo` works as expected, I decided to disable lecturing
inside the test, however we may want to fix the underlying problem in
the test-driver at some point.

For the latter two, the feature flag useWayland was removed and a
wrapper script was provided.
The `nix.*` options, apart from options for setting up the
daemon itself, currently provide a lot of setting mappings
for the Nix daemon configuration. The scope of the mapping yields
convience, but the line where an option is considered essential
is blurry. For instance, the `extra-sandbox-paths` mapping is
provided without its primary consumer, and the corresponding
`sandbox-paths` option is also not mapped.
The current system increases the maintenance burden as maintainers have to
closely follow upstream changes. In this case, there are two state versions
of Nix which have to be maintained collectively, with different options
avaliable.
This commit aims to following the standard outlined in RFC 42[1] to
implement a structural setting pattern. The Nix configuration is encoded
at its core as key-value pairs which maps nicely to attribute sets, making
it feasible to express in the Nix language itself. Some existing options are
kept such as `buildMachines` and `registry` which present a simplified interface
to managing the respective settings. The interface is exposed as `nix.settings`.
Legacy configurations are mapped to their corresponding options under `nix.settings`
for backwards compatibility.
Various options settings in other nixos modules and relevant tests have been
updated to use structural setting for consistency.
The generation and validation of the configration file has been modified to
use `writeTextFile` instead of `runCommand` for clarity. Note that validation
is now mandatory as strict checking of options has been pushed down to the
derivation level due to freeformType consuming unmatched options. Furthermore,
validation can not occur when cross-compiling due to current limitations.
A new option `publicHostKey` was added to the `buildMachines`
submodule corresponding to the base64 encoded public host key settings
exposed in the builder syntax. The build machine generation was subsequently
rewritten to use `concatStringsSep` for better performance by grouping
concatenations.

It looks like "make-bcache" also registers the devices, so the separate
registration afterwords is unnecessary.
Previously, the separate registration right afterwords didn't cause
a problem, presumably because it won the race with make-bcache's
registration. After 1640359f33 slightly
changed the timing of command execution in tests, the separate
registration often fails with the error message "device already
registered", stopping the test.
Release notes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.7
Notable (backward incompatible) changes:
- The default terminal changed from Alacritty to foot
Known issues:
- `swaynag` will crash when Sway 1.6.1 is still running while the Nix
package (and thus `swaynag`) is already updated to version 1.7.
- The experimental Ozone/Wayland support of Electron apps will be broken
for a while. Electron version 17 should work but the Chromium fixes
haven't yet been backported to Electron version 16.
NixOS module: programs.sway.extraPackages: The "alacritty" package was
replaced with "foot".
VM test: We switched from the OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer to Pixman. The
terminal was also changed to foot but Alacritty is still used for the
XWayland test (since foot doesn't support X11).

Some tests from the `nixos/tests` folder were missing in the `all-tests.nix`
file. This meant they couldn't be run from the `nixosTests` attribute
set and therefore not be linked to their packages.
As written, the nixos/quorum module will simply run forever, and has
been timing out in Hydra. Implement a fix for such by changing the final
statement from a wait_until_succeeds to simply succeed, forcing the test
to succeed or fail instead of run indefinitely.
- Fully get rid of `parseKeyValues` and use systemctl features for that
- Add some regex modifiers recommended by perlcritic
- Get rid of a postfix if
- Sort units when showing their status
- Clean the logic for showing what failed from `elif` to `next`
- Switch from `state` to `substate` for `auto-restart` because that's
actually where the value is stored
- Show status of units with one single systemctl call and get rid of
COLUMNS in favor of --full
- Add a test for failing units
Replace sleep() calls where possible, using wait_for_* methods. This
should provide more robustness in cases where tests are running on a
congested system.
Since dhcpd has been hardened (DynamicUser → NoNewPrivileges) it can't
use a setcap wrapper. Instead, we add the net_admin capability to it's
ambient set and run `ip route` directly. This is also safer that giving
everyone permisison to change the routing table.
Add test coverage for the enableConfiguredRecompile option, checking
that we can compile and exec a new xmonad from a user's local config, as
well as restart the originally configured xmonad.
As I needed a reliable way to wait for recompilation to finish before
proceeding with subsequent test steps, I adjusted the startup behavior
to write a file ("oldXMonad" or "newXMonad") to /etc upon startup, and
replaced some "sleep" calls with "wait_for_file".
This removes `/run/nixos/activation-reload-list` (which we will need in
the future when reworking the reload logic) and makes
`/run/nixos/activation-restart-list` honor `restartIfChanged` and
`reloadIfChanged`. This way activation scripts don't have to bother with
choosing between reloading and restarting.
The tsm-client needs a tsm-server to do anything useful.
Without a server, automated tests can just
check diagnostic outputs for plausibility.
The commit at hand adds two tests:
1.
The command line interface `dsmc` is called,
then it is verified that the program does
* report the correct client version,
* find its configuration file,
* report a connection error.
2.
To check the GUI (and the tsm-client nixos module), we add a
vm test which uses the module to install `tsm-client-withGui`.
To verify that the GUI's basic functionality is present,
we skip over all connection failure related error
messages and open the "Connection Information"
dialog from the main application window.
This dialog presents the node name and the client version;
both are verified by the test.
Note: Our `tsm-client` build recipe consists of two packages:
The "unwrapped" package and the final package.
This commit puts the unwrapped one into the final
package's `passthru` so that tests can access
the original version string that is needed to check
the client version reported by the application.
The test has been broken for some time and the test errors are
non-obvious. None of the current maintainers know how to fix it so it is
better to get rid of it then to keep a continously failing test.
This adds a very minimalistic (in terms of functionality and
dependencies) test for wlroots, Wayland, and related packages.
The Sway test covers more functionality and packages (e.g. XWayland) but
this test has tree advantages:
- Less dependencies: Much fewer rebuilds are required when testing core
changes that need to go through staging.
- Testing wlroots updates: The Sway package isn't immediately updated
after a new wlroots version is released and a lot of other packages
depend on wlroots as well.
- Determining whether a bug only affects Sway or wlroots/TinyWL as well.
Catches failures like https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/149539
that don't happen with AutomaticLoginEnable.
We still have a 0-delay autologin test in gnome-xorg, in case there's
ever an issue that only arises with AutomaticLoginEnable.
One of the subtests in the sudo NixOS test suite was broken: instead of
running the sudo invocation as user 'test2', it was running it as root.
Since root doesn't require a password to use sudo, this was causing
random "broken pipe" errors when trying to pass it a password via stdin.
One use case for Mattermost configuration is doing a "mostly
mutable" configuration where NixOS module options take priority
over Mattermost's config JSON.
Add a preferNixConfig option that prefers configured Nix options
over what's configured in Mattermost config if mutableConfig is set.
Remove the reliance on readFile (it's flake incompatible) and use
jq instead.
Merge Mattermost configs together on Mattermost startup, depending
on configured module options.
Write tests for mutable, mostly mutable, and immutable configurations.
