Right now it wrongly seems as if you can set
`sshBackdoor.enable = true;` for each test and not only for debugging
purposes.
This is wrong however since you'd need to pass /dev/vhost-vsock into the
sandbox for this (which is also a prerequisite for #392117).
To make that clear, two things were changed:
* add a warning to the manual to communicate this.
* exit both interactive and non-interactive driver early if
/dev/vhost-vsock is missing and the ssh backdoor is enabled.
If that's the case, we pass a CLI flag to the driver already in the
interactive case. This change also sets the flag for the
non-interactive case.
That way we also get a better error if somebody tries to enable this
on a system that doesn't support that.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.

The goal here was to get the following flake to build and run on
`aarch64-darwin`:
```nix
{ inputs.nixpkgs.url = <this branch>;
outputs = { nixpkgs, ... }: {
checks.aarch64-darwin.default =
nixpkgs.legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.nixosTest {
name = "test";
nodes.machine = { };
testScript = "";
};
};
}
```
… and after this change it does. There's no longer a need for the
user to set `nodes.*.nixpkgs.pkgs` or
`nodes.*.virtualisation.host.pkgs` as the correct values are inferred
from the host system.
For `testBuildFailure` and similar functions, we need a full blown derivation and not a lazy one.
This is an internal option for test framework developers.
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.
