# Nomarchy CI — the always-on net under direct-to-main pushes. # # Scope (deliberate): the EVAL tier only. The runner behind this Gitea # instance is act_runner + docker containers (the legacy repo's check.yml # ran 57 times on it) — no systemd, no /dev/kvm — so the checks.* VM # tests and full toplevel builds can't run here. `nix flake check # --no-build` still catches most breakage (type errors, missing options, # bad merges, template/mkFlake drift — see docs/TESTING.md §1); the VM # suite stays a local/promotion gate until a KVM-capable NixOS runner # exists (see the commented vm-checks job at the bottom). # # Inherited-from-legacy gotchas (learned over 57 runs, kept verbatim): # - Single-user Nix (--no-daemon): no systemd in the container. The # installer runs as root and honours build-users-group=nixbld from # its bundled nix.conf, aborting unless the group exists AND has # members — create nixbld + users first. # - sandbox=false: Stylix/base16.nix do import-from-derivation; the # single-user Nix in this container can't set up the build sandbox # (no user namespaces), which otherwise surfaces as # "path '…-source' is not valid". # - Pin the Nix version: 2.34's lazy-trees git cache doesn't # materialise flake-input `-source` paths into the store, breaking # the same IFD reads. 2.31.5 matches what wrote flake.lock. # - Plain-shell Nix install, not a JS action: act_runner's bundled act # tops out at node20; a `run:` step has no node-runtime coupling. name: Check on: push: branches: [main, v1] workflow_dispatch: jobs: eval: runs-on: ubuntu-latest timeout-minutes: 60 env: NIX_CONFIG: | experimental-features = nix-command flakes sandbox = false NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt steps: - name: Checkout uses: actions/checkout@v4 - name: Install Nix run: | NIX_VERSION=2.31.5 groupadd -r nixbld 2>/dev/null || true for i in $(seq 1 10); do useradd -r -g nixbld -G nixbld -d /var/empty \ -s /usr/sbin/nologin -c "Nix build user $i" "nixbld$i" 2>/dev/null || true done curl -L "https://releases.nixos.org/nix/nix-${NIX_VERSION}/install" | sh -s -- --no-daemon echo "$HOME/.nix-profile/bin" >> "$GITHUB_PATH" - name: nix flake check (eval only) # Full module-system evaluation of every output — both nixos # configs, the home config, the checks.* derivations (instantiated, # not run) and the downstream template through lib.mkFlake. run: nix flake check --no-build - name: Python syntax (nomarchy-theme-sync) # Via nix shell so the step doesn't depend on the runner image # preinstalling python3. run: | nix shell nixpkgs#python3 --command \ python3 -m py_compile pkgs/nomarchy-theme-sync/nomarchy-theme-sync.py - name: Shell syntax (tracked scripts) # The distro's user-facing scripts are generated by Nix (their # syntax is exercised by the eval + local builds); this covers the # hand-written .sh files: installer helpers and maintainer tools. run: | set -e fail=0 while IFS= read -r script; do head -1 "$script" | grep -qE '^#!.*\b(bash|sh)\b' || continue if ! bash -n "$script"; then echo "::error file=$script::bash syntax error" fail=1 fi done < <(git ls-files '*.sh') exit "$fail" # ── vm-checks (DISABLED until a KVM runner exists) ──────────────────── # The real prize: running the checks.* VM suite + a toplevel build in # CI.
