I gave this a got it almost working with one significant snag I was hoping
someone might be able to help with?
Once the build is complete is possible to retrieve the location of the test
files using a simple REPL script - In my example this is nested in Groovy
script in my case which will interpolate the ${packageExpression} for me to
give a proper Scheme expression (this isn't important just mentioning it so
the script makes sense):
*(use-modules (guix packages) (gnu packages) (guix
store) (guix derivations))(define my-drv (with-store store
(run-with-store store (package->derivation
${packageExpression}))))(format #t "~a~%" (assoc-ref
(derivation->output-paths my-drv) "test"))*
The below details are no overly important (IMHO), but script is fed into a
Groovy variable called testLocationSCript, and called from shell script
like so (localCannelSwitch is just a "-L /path/to/my/local/channel"
variable):
TESTDIR=`guix repl ${localChannelSwitch} -- <(cat <<<
'${testLocationScript}')`
This all works great *until* you actually have a unit test failure - then
because that unit test failure will fail the "guix build", the
"package->derivation" command seems to try to rebuild the package, which of
course fails again for exactly the same reason.as the original failure and
provides no location for derivation->output-paths.
*So what I need is a way of asking what will the output path be, without
actually building, or inspite of a build failure?*
This must be techincally possible because mid-build the output paths are
available - so they are known ahead of build completion.
So, does anyone have a way of getting the output directories from Guix
without first requiring a successful build?
Thanks!
