From 96309175701e63f510e40eeddd7eedaa56ea527f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Veen-Birkenbach Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2025 19:14:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] **refactor(nix-flake): replace run_command wrapper with direct os.system execution and extend test coverage** MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This commit removes the `run_command`-based execution model for Nix flake installations and replaces it with a direct `os.system` invocation. This ensures that *all* Nix diagnostics (stdout/stderr) are fully visible and no longer suppressed by wrapper logic. Key changes: * Directly run `nix profile install` via `os.system` for full error output * Correctly decode real exit codes via `os.WIFEXITED` / `os.WEXITSTATUS` * Preserve mandatory/optional behavior for flake outputs * Update unit tests to the new execution model using `unittest` * Add complete coverage for: * successful installs * mandatory failures → raise SystemExit(code) * optional failures → warn and continue * environment-based disabling via `PKGMGR_DISABLE_NIX_FLAKE_INSTALLER` * Remove obsolete mocks and legacy test logic that assumed `run_command` Overall, this improves transparency, debuggability, and correctness of the Nix flake installer while maintaining full backward compatibility at the interface level. https://chatgpt.com/share/693b0a20-99f4-800f-b789-b00a50413612 --- .../actions/install/installers/nix_flake.py | 39 ++- .../install/installers/test_nix_flake.py | 292 +++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 201 insertions(+), 130 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/nix_flake.py b/src/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/nix_flake.py index 53977cb..46c1142 100644 --- a/src/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/nix_flake.py +++ b/src/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/nix_flake.py @@ -139,22 +139,27 @@ class NixFlakeInstaller(BaseInstaller): for output, allow_failure in outputs: cmd = f"nix profile install {ctx.repo_dir}#{output}" + print(f"[INFO] Running: {cmd}") + ret = os.system(cmd) - try: - run_command( - cmd, - cwd=ctx.repo_dir, - preview=ctx.preview, - allow_failure=allow_failure, - ) + # Extract real exit code from os.system() result + if os.WIFEXITED(ret): + exit_code = os.WEXITSTATUS(ret) + else: + # abnormal termination (signal etc.) – keep raw value + exit_code = ret + + if exit_code == 0: print(f"Nix flake output '{output}' successfully installed.") - except SystemExit as e: - print(f"[Error] Failed to install Nix flake output '{output}': {e}") - if not allow_failure: - # Mandatory output failed → fatal for the pipeline. - raise - # Optional output failed → log and continue. - print( - "[Warning] Continuing despite failure to install " - f"optional output '{output}'." - ) + continue + + print(f"[Error] Failed to install Nix flake output '{output}'") + print(f"[Error] Command exited with code {exit_code}") + + if not allow_failure: + raise SystemExit(exit_code) + + print( + "[Warning] Continuing despite failure to install " + f"optional output '{output}'." + ) diff --git a/tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/test_nix_flake.py b/tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/test_nix_flake.py index e94e1c2..c9299c0 100644 --- a/tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/test_nix_flake.py +++ b/tests/unit/pkgmgr/actions/install/installers/test_nix_flake.py @@ -1,140 +1,206 @@ #!/usr/bin/env python3 # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- -import os -import unittest -from unittest import mock -from unittest.mock import MagicMock, patch +""" +Unit tests for NixFlakeInstaller using unittest (no pytest). + +Covers: +- Successful installation (exit_code == 0) +- Mandatory failure → SystemExit with correct code +- Optional failure (pkgmgr default) → no raise, but warning +- supports() behavior incl.
