this will be a series of patches that were needed to be able to
(mostly) successfully run these two imports (go-ethereum and
ethersphere/bee):

RUN=12
clear && ./pre-inst-env guix import go -r --pin-versions github.com/ethersphere/bee@v1.5.1 > >(tee -a ~/workspace/guix/importing/bee-run-${RUN}.scm) 2> >(tee -a ~/workspace/guix/importing/bee-run-${RUN}.log >&2)

RUN=36
clear && ./pre-inst-env guix import go -r --pin-versions github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum@v1.10.17 > >(tee -a ~/workspace/guix/importing/go-ethereum-run-${RUN}.scm) 2> >(tee -a ~/workspace/guix/importing/go-ethereum-run-${RUN}.log >&2)

note that i only have a mediocre knowledge of the golang
infrastructure, so this should be reviewed by someone who
more deeply understands the golang build process, and its
implementation within guix.

i think most of it is not very controversial, maybe except
the last commit.

i'm willing to reshape this under the guidance of someone who
has a better bird's eye view perspective on this all.

[PATCH 06/10] guix: import: go: Add a local duplicate of http-fetch.

20220503114301.9524-6-attila@lendvai.name
This is needed when dealing with golang packages, as per:

A page may return 404, but at the same time also contain the sought after
`go-import` meta tag. An example for such a project/page is:

It's not enough to just handle the thrown exception, because we need to be
able to get hold of the fetched content, too.

Discussion why it's duplicated here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54836

* guix/import/go.scm (http-fetch): Add a copy and extend it with the
accept-all-response-codes? param.

When a version is specified in a replace directive, then we must also match
the version against any potential replacements.

[PATCH 08/10] guix: import: go: Modules in a subdir and prefixed tags.
(address . 55242@debbugs.gnu.org)(name . Attila Lendvai)(address . attila@lendvai.name)
20220503114301.9524-8-attila@lendvai.name
Handle golang projects that are located in a subdir relative to the repo's
root directory, and whose tags are also prefixed accordingly with the relative
path.

An example: guix import go github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go-v2/service/route53@v1.1.1

Also be more resilient while dealing with licences.

* guix/import/go.scm (go-module->guix-package): Attempt to split comma
separated lists of licences, and tolerate the inability to fetch any license
information. Handle go modules that are a subdirectory of a vcs repo,
including the special naming of their tags (it includes the subdir as a prefix).
(list->licenses): Warn when the conversion fails.
(+known-vcs+): Renamed from known-vcs to use naming convention for constants.

Why are unknown errors being catched here?

What's the '-continuable' for here? Is it to avoid extra 'raise-
exception' entries in the backtrace, or does this actually make use of
Scheme's continuable exceptions?

What's the use case for counting the number of packages?

Why only for the Go importer, and why a warning? 

The 'info' macro from (guix diagnostics) seems to fit here (it also
uses 'current-warning-port', but only internally).

The plural form of 'packages' is incorrect when count=1.

Greetings,
Maxime

We already have a logging functionality: 'info' from

You can use 'pk' for this:

#;(pk "inside replace, directive" directive "requirements" requirements)

(delete 'pk' when debugging).

There's some extra complexity here, so I recommend some corresponding
extra tests, to avoid it breaking in the future.

Nevermind, there's some ...

Still, why choose the first old-version instead of the latest old-
version? How can we know which one is correct?.

Do we know for sure here that 'text' is actually a string? What if the

I'm not familiar enough with sxml to be sure, but maybe the , can be

Ok, but couldn't this be done more generally, for all importers using
HTTP? E.g., could we have a variant 'http-fetch/retrying' of 'http-
fetch' that automatically retries a number of times? Then the retrying
functionality could almost trivially be used in other HTTP-using
importers as well.

Why only for the Go importer and not other importers?
Maybe the behaviour of other importers in presence of unidentifiable
licenses could be unified, with some common support procedure or
something. Then only a single location needs to be modified to change
things, and all importers would benefit.

I don't think this is correct, in the past I've put '(foobar) and
#false in 'license' fields of packages and those packages could be
compiled, without any compilation issues. I assume the same holds for
strings as well.

The naming convention in (Guile) Scheme is '%known-vcs' or 'known-vcs'.
Also, 'define-constant' doesn't exist in Guile, and the Lisp macro
'defconstant' and 'defmacro' appears to have some complications w.r.t.
phasing. What would be the benefit of 'define-constant' here?

Why a newline at the beginning instead of the end? Also, why the
logging? If I do "guix import go foobar", wouldn't I know in advance
it will process the foobar module? And in case of --recursive,
wouldn't I know after the fact which modules were processed?

Why a $ at the end but no "^" at the beginning? What's the point of
the leading ".*"? Could the regexp be constructed in advance, or only
once (maybe 'delay/force' and a global variable) -- turning a regexp
into a NFA into a DFA can be expensive.

In some other location, the symbol 'unknonw-license!' is used. Here, a
string is used. Why the inconsistency? Also, given the "unknown-
license!", the warning seems mostly redundant to me.

When can it be null? Also, tests.

Is there a need for speed here? If not, I'd keep things simple by
using the non-mutating version (I expect the speed gain to be neglible
here). If there is, I would also use the mutating version of map --
'map!' from srfi-1.

*all* errors are caught, displayed, and swallowed, so that the importing can proceed to the rest of the packages.

a possible scenario: a large import can take several minutes. if there's a transient network error, then this way it may finish with 99% of the packages, and the rest can be restarted by hand after inspecting the log output.

another scenario is that the importer is simply buggy, and the user gets 99% of the packages imported, and has to do only one package by hand.

honestly, i can't remember. which translates to: i should have
commented on that!

*shakes head and makes a mental note*

from guile's manual:

"If continuable? is true, the handler is invoked in tail position
relative to the raise-exception call. Otherwise if the handler
returns, a non-continuable exception of type &non-continuable is
raised in the same dynamic environment as the handler."

i.e. it should rather be called raise-continuably not
raise-continuable.

and i think the reason is that the stack is not unwound that way, so
that the handlers in the guard can print a backtrace showing the
entire stack.

does this make sense? i'm still learning scheme's stack/exception
handling...

or maybe what i wanted is that the handlers in the guard can return
with (values #f '())? but i think that should work with vanilla RAISE,
too.

because i want the importer to be able to deal with a transitive

larger go modules.

thanks for the review Maxime! i'll address the rest, too.

FWIW (given that I don't know the Go packaging system well), the last
patch (10/10) seems the least controversial to me. I'm not seeing why
it would be controversial.

Catching (presumably) transient network errors and reporting them with
'report-network-error' and the like: no problem.

If the bug is fixed, then no packages need to be done by hand and other
people will benefit as well. Whereas if it's only for 1% and the
backtrace only happens for recursive import and not for non-recursive
or manual import, then I'd think that the chance that the user actually
reports or fixes the bug decreases a lot.

realistically? because there are years old issues, and long bitrotten
patches in every project's issue tracker, Guix included.

i think an importer, that does proper logging, and finishes with a 99%
correct result, is worth much more than one that barks at the first
error, and then refuses to continue processing the 100+ remaining
entries.

this was true even in my own case, when i also had the maintainer hat
on, i.e. i was already neck deep into fixing the importer.

the tradeoff is this: what leads to a lower level of overall annoyance of all the parties involved:

1) have a tool that is less useful, and through that it annoys the
users to report issues, which then (hopefully) thrusts some people
towards improving the tool... or

2) have a tool that does its best to produce the most useful output.

short of hard data, this can be argued forever. my intuition is clearly pointing towards 2), because i doubt that the choking point of improving the importer is due to not having enough examples on which it breaks.

does it make enough sense to justify my proposed behavior?

because it introduces an in-source database of golang projects that
require special-casing (*module-path->import-path*).

i suspect that whatever info i'm storing in that db of exceptions is
probably available somewhere, somehow.

here's how i was working on this codebase:

RUN=12
clear && ./pre-inst-env guix import go -r --pin-versions github.com/ethersphere/bee@v1.5.1 > >(tee -a ~/workspace/guix/importing/bee-run-${RUN}.scm) 2> >(tee -a ~/workspace/guix/importing/bee-run-${RUN}.log >&2) && beep

IOW, i was repeatedly firing long-running imports whose output i stored in versioned files. when a run was finished, i inspected the log and the output file (containing hundreds of packages).

whenever i had to understand what went wrong -- which often manifested in successfull runs producing broken output (i.e. no errors/backtraces) --, i added log statements to see what's happening. i could have deleted the printfs, and then re-add them again a gazillion times, or just leave them there for the upcoming programmers (which includes me), conditionally compiled in with the help of a macro.

background: in my lisp codebase emacs colors the log statement gray, and the logging lib i'm using in CL has a separate compile-time and a runtime log level. IOW, i can eliminate the entire runtime logging overhead, and most of the code readability overhead.

(For a positive note, skip to the last paragraph!)

If we do something like this (*) (this = catching errors for
dependencies and skipping those packages), I don't want this to be
something Go-specific. Could this be done in 'recursive-import' or
something like that instead, such that all importers benefit and Go
isn't some weird special case?

Also, given that we appear to have a number of people effectively
maintaining the Go importer ("git log guix/import.go.scm" mentions a
few ‘Maxim Cournoyer’, ‘Ludovic Courtès’ ‘Xinglu Chen’ and ‘Sarah
Morgensen’, and more recently maybe you?) and I don't see any open old
Go importer bugs/patches on issues.guix.gnu.org, I don't think we have
to worry about

If you know of some examples on which the Go importer broke, could you
add them to tests/go, to make sure it won't break again later
(regression), in case of future changes?

Anyway, let's take a look at for which kind of things I think of in
case of ‘buggy importer’:

1. (Maybe [PATCH 04/10]?) The parser for a file format cannot parse 
<something>, so it throws an exception.

(I consider this more a ‘limitation’ than a ‘bug’.)

For this kind of thing, maybe we can just throw a ‘oops I don't
understand the file format’ exception, report an appropriate error
message (package name + maybe line number, but no need for a
backtrace), skip that package and continue. That way, the Go
importer will be to some degree robust to future changes.

That's already done in this patch series, except for the ‘no need
for a backtrace’ part and this patch series catching all exceptions
instead of just networking errors, ‘I don't understand the file
format’ errors, ...

2. The Go importer misinterprets some kind of field or such.

These kind of things don't (typically?) cause errors, so skipping.
(Still a bug though!)

3. The Go importer cannot produce a package definition because it
doesn't support <some Go packaging method>.

Similar (1).

4. The Go importer has some kind of type error or such.

This case looks like an actual bug to me, where I think that
catching the resulting exceptions is just sweeping things under
the rug, implicitly teaching other people that it's ok to just
ignore problems without making any attempt of fixing them or
reporting them. Vaguely similar to ‘broken windows’

Sure, for a single particular user and short term this makes the
importer a bit less useful, but knowing bugs is a prerequisite for
fixing them, and long term, by actually knowing about the bugs and
fixing them, more users will benefit.

That said, like "guix build" has a "--keep-going" option to temporarily
ignore to some degree packages that fail to build, maybe "guix import"
(when using --recursive) can have a "--keep-going" option.

Maxime.

the fact that the go importer bugs were not even reported into the issue tracker doesn't change much about the fact that i have experienced several problems when i first tried to recursively import a non-trivial go project (which even included issues with http-fetch). it means that all those bug were there, not hidden by exception handling, and yet they have *not* been reported into the issue tracker.

or to put it another way, i think there are just too many unverified assumptions in this discussion about actual user behavior. my strategy in those situations is to expose as much info as feasible, and let the users respond intelligently to the situation.

note that this patch does not just catch errors, but handles them by emitting useful information about them, and continues only after that.

i consider silently swallowing errors a major sin (read: code that will certainly eat up some portion of someone's life in the future).

the only place where this patch silently swallows errors is in the extraction of descriprions and such, i.e. data that the user must review anyway.

this patch does not hide any bugs, only enables the code to continue by skipping a package.

and as a bonus: i wouldn't be surprised if it emitted *more* useful information than when allowing the exception to pass through to the caller, because error handling in the guix codebase could use a bit more love.

ok, i'll look into putting this feature behind a CLI argument, and generalize it to all importers. as time allows i'll get back to the rest of the questions/suggestions, too.

thanks for the feedback Maxime!

I think such errors are easily overlooked, but yes, and I don't have
any actual data on that.

I think I've overstated the ‘swallows errors etc.’ a bit, given that
if "guix import go --recursive <foo>" skips a package <bar>, then the
user will have to package its dependency <bar> anyway, and for that
the user could first try "guix import go <bar>" (reporting errors on
bug-guix@ or #guix) before fixing/extending the importer or doing
things manually.

In (Guile) Scheme (at least as used in the Scheme code I've seen),
*earmuffs* are typically used for mutable variables, not for global
constants. Though guix/self.scm uses *system-modules* for not-really-
constant-but-not-mutated lexical variables so maybe ...

FWIW, I would write (define %module-path->import-path ...) here, not
that it really matters.

About the ‘is this controversional’ bit: these kind of mappings and

%builtin-mods in (guix import minetest), default-r-packages in (guix

Hi,

I forgot that "guix build" already does some debug logging when passed
"--verbose" or "--debug". Maybe "guix import ..." can gain a similar 
system. I don't know if the internals are reusable though ...
(I'm not convinced that we need logging for "guix import" but I'm not
convinced of the contrary either, and there is already some kind of
debug logging system elsewhere.)

I'm not sure if I mentioned it previously, but it looks like some
patches are uncontroversial and usable mostly as-is (e.g. 04/10 without
the logging, 02/10, 05/10 with verifying types, 06/10 without the
overly-general false-if-exception and logging, 9/10, 10/10, 04/10). So
you could try the non-controversial bits first and then see if some
kind of consensus or such could be found for the remainder.

Greetings,
Maxime.

We alreading have 'warning' and 'info' in (guix diagnostics); perhaps we
could also have 'debug', enabled when GUIX_DEBUG is set or something.
Alternatively, there's a full blown logging library available in the
Guile-Lib project, as (logging logger) [0].
