From 3363ff1867bb02c4aa4955db917ef1d67f2c47e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludovic Courtès Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2023 17:20:06 +0200 Subject: ui: 'load*' accepts /dev/fd/N files pointing to a pipe. This allows users to write Bash commands like: guix time-machine -C <(echo %default-channels) -- ... or: guix build -m <(echo '(specifications->manifest (list "guile"))') Previously, on GNU/Linux, they would fail with: error: failed to load '/dev/fd/63': No such file or directory * guix/ui.scm (try-canonicalize-path): New procedure. (load*): Use it. * tests/guix-build.sh: Test 'guix build -m' with a /dev/fd/N file. --- tests/guix-build.sh | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tests') diff --git a/tests/guix-build.sh b/tests/guix-build.sh index 317c58ac42..4eab0e38b6 100644 --- a/tests/guix-build.sh +++ b/tests/guix-build.sh @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@ # GNU Guix --- Functional package management for GNU -# Copyright © 2012-2014, 2016-2022 Ludovic Courtès +# Copyright © 2012-2014, 2016-2023 Ludovic Courtès # Copyright © 2020 Marius Bakke # Copyright © 2021 Chris Marusich # @@ -397,6 +397,13 @@ guix build -d -m "$module_dir/manifest.scm" \ rm "$module_dir"/*.scm +if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ] +then + # Check whether we can load from a /dev/fd/N denoting a pipe, using this + # handy Bash-specific construct. + guix build -m <(echo '(specifications->manifest (list "guile"))') -n +fi + # Using 'GUIX_BUILD_OPTIONS'.
