Instead of having to manually stub packages that should not be
downloaded we instead automatically stub all packages (except a small
list of whitelisted ones). Tests can re-introduce the real package by
using the `realPkgs` module argument.
Before the XDG variables would be set from the user's environment, if
available. This would break some tests.
With this change the tests should be fully deterministic.
Fixes#1190
This replaces some derivation outputs by simple strings rather than
full Nix store paths. This removes the need to download the whole
derivation when all we need is a static string.
Unfortunately, using `attrsOf` is not possible since it results in too
eager evaluation. In particular, the
home.sessionVariables = {
FOO = "Hello";
BAR = "${config.home.sessionVariables.FOO} World!";
};
example will cause an infinite recursion.
This commit restores the option type of
- `home.sessionVariables`,
- `pam.sessionVariables`,
- `programs.bash.sessionVariables`, and
- `programs.zsh.sessionVariables`
to `attrs`. It also adds test cases for the above options to avoid
regressions.
Fixes#659
