Provide a window during which both solutions are valid without
warnings, in order to fight warning fatigue, and not to push 3rd
party repo maintainers to add unnecessary compat code.
Fixes the problem introduced by 12b3066aae
which caused nixos/release.nix to return the wrong attributes, while
intending to only affect nixos/lib's runTest.
This also removes callTest from the test options, because callTest is
only ever invoked by all-tests.nix.
It has been replaced by the modular test framework in nixos/lib/testing.
If you are looking for a way to produce a VM-test-like configuration
outside of the test framework, use the nixos/lib/testing/nixos-test-base.nix
NixOS module, possibly in combination with { _module.args.nodes = .....; }.
Before this, it relied on being able to `imports` from the `name`
module argument, which wasn't really necessary and required a
potentially quite breaking change. We can revert that now.
This is a decomposition of the testing-python.nix and build-vms.nix
files into modules.
By refactoring the glue, we accomplish the following:
- NixOS tests can now use `imports` and other module system features.
- Network-wide test setup can now be reusable; example:
- A setup with all VMs configured to use a DNS server
- Split long, slow tests into multiple tests that import a
common module that has most of the setup.
- Type checking for the test arguments
- (TBD) "generated" options reference docs
- Aspects that had to be wired through all the glue are now in their
own files.
- Chief example: interactive.nix.
- Also: network.nix
In rewriting this, I've generally stuck as close as possible to the
existing code; copying pieces of logic and rewiring them, without
changing the logic itself.
I've made two exceptions to this rule
- Introduction of `extraDriverArgs` instead of hardcoded
interactivity logic.
- Incorporation of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/144110
in testScript.nix.
I might revert the latter and split it into a new commit.
deprecate literalDocBook by adding a warning (that will not fire yet) to
its uses and other docbook literal strings by adding optional warning
message to mergeJSON.
For example, the wait_for_unit() call in the Moodle test times out for
myself and others[1], so it would be good to be able to increase it to
something less likely to be hit by a test that would otherwise pass.

conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
