From 629af83b2d86d77305dc994b83f176a377106c3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Bosch Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 20:59:24 +0200 Subject: Provide a more meaningful error-message for `builtins.fetchGit` if a revision can't be checked out A common pitfall when using e.g. `builtins.fetchGit` is the `fatal: not a tree object`-error when trying to fetch a revision of a git-repository that isn't on the `master` branch and no `ref` is specified. In order to make clear what's the problem, I added a simple check whether the revision in question exists and if it doesn't a more meaningful error-message is displayed: ``` nix-repl> builtins.fetchGit { url = "https://github.com/owner/myrepo"; rev = ""; } moderror: --- Error -------------------------------------------------------------------- nix Cannot find Git revision 'bf1cc5c648e6aed7360448a3745bb2fe4fbbf0e9' in ref 'master' of repository 'https://gitlab.com/Ma27/nvim.nix'! Please make sure that the rev exists on the ref you've specified or add allRefs = true; to fetchGit. ``` Closes #2431 --- src/libfetchers/git.cc | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/libfetchers/git.cc b/src/libfetchers/git.cc index e7712c5fd..1f298c2d6 100644 --- a/src/libfetchers/git.cc +++ b/src/libfetchers/git.cc @@ -392,6 +392,28 @@ struct GitInputScheme : InputScheme AutoDelete delTmpDir(tmpDir, true); PathFilter filter = defaultPathFilter; + RunOptions checkCommitOpts( + "git", + { "-C", repoDir, "cat-file", "commit", input.getRev()->gitRev() } + ); + checkCommitOpts.searchPath = true; + checkCommitOpts.mergeStderrToStdout = true; + + auto result = runProgram(checkCommitOpts); + if (WEXITSTATUS(result.first) == 128 + && result.second.find("bad file") != std::string::npos + ) { + throw Error( + "Cannot find Git revision '%s' in ref '%s' of repository '%s'!

An example would be a Cargo.lock which only provides the URL and the revision when using a git repository as build input. However it's considered a bad practice to perform a full checkout of a repository since this may take a lot of time and can eat up a lot of disk space. This patch makes a full checkout explicit by adding an `allRefs` argument to `builtins.fetchGit` which fetches all refs if explicitly set to true.
