ci.guix.gnu.org is down right now. if i add --substitute-urls=http://bordeaux.guix.gnu.orgthen things work, but sans that it fails:

I observed the same behaviour. In addition, I notice:

1. even if I have the substitute inside the store of my offloading
machine, then it fails with similar error

2. the option --fallabck does not fallback and does not build locally.

I observed the same yesterday when ci.guix was down.

Note that the following command, where 203.* is unroutable, does not
reproduce it:

guix build --substitute-urls="http://203.0.113.1 https://ci.guix.gnu.org" \
--no-grafts pandoc # pick a package not in store

So I believe what we experienced yesterday goes along these lines:

1. We had cached narinfos for ci.guix available locally so the daemon
assumed it could go ahead and download from ci.guix;

2. When ‘guix substitute --substitute’ when to download stuff from
ci.guix, which it assumed was possible because there was a valid
narinfo for that, it didn’t handle the connection failure. (The
same happens if you get, say, 404 while substituting even though
you have a valid substitute at hand.)

Trying to come up with a fix…

[PATCH 0/2] Retry nar downloads upon failure
(address . guix-patches@gnu.org)
20220923061616.5453-1-ludo@gnu.org
Hello!

This is a long overdue fix for https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57978:
when a nar cannot be downloaded from its “preferred” location,
‘guix substitute --substitute’ will now retry once for each substitute
URL instead of failing right away.

This should address the most common issues such as transient
networking failures.

Comments?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Ludovic Courtès (2):
substitute: Split nar download.
substitute: Retry downloading when a nar is unavailable.

20220923061957.5658-2-ludo@gnu.org
Reported by Attila Lendvai <attila@lendvai.name>.

Previously, if a narinfo was available but its corresponding nar was
missing (for instance because the narinfo was cached and the server
became unreachable in the meantime), 'guix substitute --substitute'
would try to download the nar from its preferred location and abort when
that fails. This change forces one retry with each of the URLs.

'http-get-error?' exceptions.

procedures.
(process-substitution): Call 'process-substitution/fallback' upon
'network-error?'.

LTGM.

Just to be sure, the patch tweaks the logic checking about narinfo and
it is not mentioned in the commit message, IMHO.

Although I do not understand this test. Why is 404 appearing twice?

Shouldn't it only ignore 'file not found' (ENOENT?) exceptions?
If the exception handling is refined a bit, it becomes a bit more
complicated, and could be simplified to (when [exists] [delete]), as
there are no atomicity concerns.
This test, and some others, can be improved by also checking the URI.
While currently 'with-http-server' does not support that, there are (5
months, with the v1 having seen some reviewing and a v2 available)
patches for that at https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53389.
That patch also _requires_ always mentioning the URI, if the cover
letter is correct. It also allows simplifying the use of '%local-url' a
bit.

Maxime.

That’s because it’s testing with 3 substitute URLs.

Thanks for taking a look!

By “it”, do you mean ‘dynamic-wind’ should be replaced by a ‘catch’
form?

We could discuss it, but note that this patch just keeps with the style
of existing tests.

Ah, thanks for the reminder! I’ve just spent most of the day reviewing
patches, but not that one…

No, I'm not referring to the dynamic-wind as a whole, rather 'it' = the
following code:
(false-if-exception (delete-file "substitute-retrieved"))
-- the catch can stay, AFAIK.

For the reasons given, I don't think this style should be continued,
though I suppose all of them can be done at once in a separate patch.
