|
||||
- [`attrPath`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-set-attrPath} (optional) – a string containing the canonical attribute path for the package. If present, it will be passed to the update script instead of the attribute path on which the package was discovered during Nixpkgs traversal.
|

- [`supportedFeatures`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-set-supportedFeatures} (optional) – a list of the [extra features](#var-passthru-updateScript-supported-features) the script supports.

##### How update scripts are executed? {#var-passthru-updateScript-execution}
|
||||
|
||||
Update scripts are to be invoked by `maintainers/scripts/update.nix` script. You can run `nix-shell maintainers/scripts/update.nix` in the root of Nixpkgs repository for information on how to use it. `update.nix` offers several modes for selecting packages to update (e.g. select by attribute path, traverse Nixpkgs and filter by maintainer, etc.), and it will execute update scripts for all matched packages that have an `updateScript` attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Each update script will be passed the following environment variables:
|
||||
|
||||
- [`UPDATE_NIX_NAME`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_NAME} – content of the `name` attribute of the updated package.
|
||||
- [`UPDATE_NIX_PNAME`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_PNAME} – content of the `pname` attribute of the updated package.
|
||||
- [`UPDATE_NIX_OLD_VERSION`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_OLD_VERSION} – content of the `version` attribute of the updated package.
|
||||
- [`UPDATE_NIX_ATTR_PATH`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-env-UPDATE_NIX_ATTR_PATH} – attribute path the `update.nix` discovered the package on (or the [canonical `attrPath`](#var-passthru-updateScript-set-attrPath) when available). Example: `pantheon.elementary-terminal`
|
||||
|
||||
::: {.note}
|
||||
The script will be usually run from the root of the Nixpkgs repository but you should not rely on that. Also note that the update scripts will be run in parallel by default; you should avoid running `git commit` or any other commands that cannot handle that.

|
||||
::: {.tip}
|
||||
While update scripts should not create commits themselves, `maintainers/scripts/update.nix` supports automatically creating commits when running it with `--argstr commit true`. If you need to customize commit message, you can have the update script implement [`commit`](#var-passthru-updateScript-commit) feature.

||||
##### Supported features {#var-passthru-updateScript-supported-features}
|
||||
###### `commit` {#var-passthru-updateScript-commit}
|
||||
|
||||
This feature allows update scripts to *ask* `update.nix` to create Git commits.
|
||||
|
||||
When support of this feature is declared, whenever the update script exits with `0` return status, it is expected to print a JSON list containing an object described below for each updated attribute to standard output.
|
||||
|
||||
When `update.nix` is run with `--argstr commit true` arguments, it will create a separate commit for each of the objects. An empty list can be returned when the script did not update any files, for example, when the package is already at the latest version.
|
||||
|
||||
The commit object contains the following values:
|
||||
|
||||
- [`attrPath`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-attrPath} – a string containing attribute path.
|
||||
- [`oldVersion`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-oldVersion} – a string containing old version.
|
||||
- [`newVersion`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-newVersion} – a string containing new version.
|
||||
- [`files`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-files} – a non-empty list of file paths (as strings) to add to the commit.
|
||||
- [`commitBody`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-commitBody} (optional) – a string with extra content to be appended to the default commit message (useful for adding changelog links).
|
||||
- [`commitMessage`]{#var-passthru-updateScript-commit-commitMessage} (optional) – a string to use instead of the default commit message.
|
||||
|
||||
If the returned array contains exactly one object (e.g. `[{}]`), all values are optional and will be determined automatically.
