Tidy ci.nix using dimension (#500)
I recently came across this rather nice way of structuring build
matrices for ci.nix.

I think it makes the haskell.nix ci.nix a lot clearer!

# Tweaked to use builtins.mapAttrs instead of needing the one from nixpkgs lib
{
/*
dimension: name -> attrs -> function -> attrs
where
function: keyText -> value -> attrsOf package
WARNING: Attribute names must not contain periods (".").
See https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3088
NOTE: The dimension name will be picked up by agent and web ui soon.
Specifies a dimension of the build matrix. For example
dimension "Example" {
withP = { p = true; }
withoutP = { p = false; }
} (key: # either "withP" or "withoutP"
{ p }: # either p = true or p = false
myProject p
)
evaluates roughly to
{
withP = myProject true;
withoutP = myProject false;
}
Use nested calls for multiple dimensions.
Example:
dimension "System" {
"x86_64-linux" = {};
# ...
}: (system: {}:
dimension "Nixpkgs release" (
{
"nixpkgs-19_03".nixpkgs = someSource
} // optionalAttrs (system != "...") {
"nixpkgs-unstable".nixpkgs = someOtherSource
}
) (_key: { nixpkgs }:
myProject system nixpkgs
)
)
evaluates roughly to
{
x86_64-linux.nixpkgs-19_03 = myProject "x86_64-linux" someSource;
x86_64-linux.nixpkgs-unstable = myProject "x86_64-linux" someOtherSource;
...
}
If you need to make references across attributes, you can do so by binding
the result. Wherever you write
dimension "My dimension" {} (key: value: f1 key value)
You can also write
let
myDimension = dimension "My dimension" {} (key: value: f2 key value myDimension)
in
myDimension
This example builds a single test runner to reuse across releases:
let
overlay =
testRunnerPkgs: self: super: {
# ...
};
myProject =
{ nixpkgs,
pkgs ? import nixpkgs { overlays = [ overlay ]; },
testRunnerPkgs ? pkgs
}: pkgs;
in
let
latest = "nixpkgs-19_03";
releases =
dimension "Nixpkgs release"
{
nixpkgs-18_09.nixpkgs = someSource
nixpkgs-19_03.nixpkgs = someOtherSource
}
(_key: { nixpkgs }:
myProject {
inherit nixpkgs;
testRunnerPkgs = releases."${latest}";
}
);
in releases;
