User-->CLI: User initiates build of `hello` (analogous to `nix-build -f '<nixpkgs>' -A hello`)
|
|
|
|
CLI-->Coord: CLI invokes coordinator
|
|
|
|
Coord-->Eval: Sends message to start evaluation of `<nixpkgs>` (path lookup) with attribute `hello`
|
|
note right: The paths to the evaluator are local file system paths
|
|
|
|
Coord<--Eval: Yields derivations to be built
|
|
note right
|
|
Immediately starts streaming derivations as they are instantiated across
|
|
the dependency graph so they can be built while the evaluation is still running.
|
|
|
|
There are two types of build requests: One for regular "fire and forget" builds
|
|
and another for IFD (import from derivation).
|
|
|
|
These are distinct because IFD needs to be fed back into the evaluator for
|
|
further processing while a regular build does not.
|
|
end note
|
|
|
|
loop while has more derivations
|
|
|
|
Coord-->Store: Check if desired paths are in store
|
|
alt Store has path
|
|
Coord<--Store: Success response
|
|
else Store does not have path
|
|
Coord-->Build: Request derivation to be built
|
|
note left
|
|
The build request optionally includes a desired store.
|
|
If a builder is aware of how to push to the store it will do so
|
|
directly when the build is finished.
|
|
|
|
If the store is not known by the builder results will be streamed
|
|
back to the coordinator for store addition.
|
|
end note
|
|
|
|
alt Build failure
|
|
Coord<--Build: Fail response
|
|
note left: It's up to the coordinator whether to exit on build failure
|
|
else Build success
|
|
alt Known store
|
|
Build-->Store: Push outputs to store
|
|
Build<--Coord: Send success & pushed response
|
|
else Unknown store
|
|
Build<--Coord: Send success & not pushed response
|
|
Coord<--Build: Stream build outputs
|
|
Coord-->Store: Push outputs to store
|
|
end

end
|

CLI<--Coord: Respond success/fail
|
|
User<--CLI: Exit success/fail
