Well, they need to be disabled even if networking is available... We might be able to make some of them "autopackagetests" ... e.g. tests that are run as part of Debian's CI infrastructure on the installed packages (as opposed to tests run from within the source tree). >> test-name: wrap-program, one input, multiple calls >> location: /build/guix-jgTHmh/guix-1.1.0/tests/build-utils.scm:94 >> source: >> + (test-equal >> + "wrap-program, one input, multiple calls" >> + "hello world\n" >> + (call-with-temporary-directory >> + (lambda (directory) >> + (let ((bash (search-bootstrap-binary >> + "bash" >> + (%current-system))) >> + (foo (string-append directory "/foo"))) >> + (call-with-output-file >> + foo >> + (lambda (p) >> + (format >> + p >> + "#!~a~%echo \"${GUIX_FOO} ${GUIX_BAR}\"~%" >> + bash))) >> + (chmod foo 511) >> + (with-environment-variable >> + "PATH" >> + (dirname bash) >> + (wrap-program foo `("GUIX_FOO" prefix ("hello"))) >> + (wrap-program foo `("GUIX_BAR" prefix ("world"))) >> + (unsetenv "LOCPATH") >> + (let* ((pipe (open-input-pipe foo)) >> + (str (get-string-all pipe))) >> + (with-directory-excursion >> + directory >> + (for-each delete-file '("foo" ".foo-real"))) >> + (and (zero?

Regarding providing Debian binaries, I could Build-Depend (the debian equivalent of "inputs") on bash-static and symlink to that, and maybe use busybox-static and symlinks for mkdir and tar, but I don't think there's a static implementation of xz in Debian. Do they strictly need to be statically linked? These are just for test suites, not actually used in the eventual packaged guix? I notice it's also checking for i686-linux/bash above even though the build was done on amd64/x86_64 ... and it would be non-trivial to enable cross-architecture checks for all architectures across all of Debian's architectures. >> test-name: channel-instances->manifest >> location: /build/guix-jgTHmh/guix-1.1.0/tests/channels.scm:177 > > [...] > >> + Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/guix-directory.kYfBE0/.git/ >> >> *** Please tell me who you are. >> >> Run >> >> git config --global user.email "you@example.com" >> git config --global user.name "Your Name" >> >> to set your account's default identity. >> Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository. >> >> fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'vagrant@yucca.(none)') > > We may need to provide a dummy .gitconfig file or something here so we > can run these tests.

I could try a couple things ... basically re-implement the patch from #37679 in Debian's packaging (e.g. HOME=/some/path and populate $HOME/.gitconfig), or apply the patch and try it. :) >> test-name: scandir*, properties >> location: /build/guix-jgTHmh/guix-1.1.0/tests/syscalls.scm:257 >> source: >> + (test-assert >> + "scandir*, properties" >> + (let ((directory >> + (dirname >> + (search-path %load-path "guix/base32.scm")))) >> + (every (lambda (entry name) >> + (match entry >> + ((name2 . properties) >> + (and (string=? name2 name) >> + (let* ((full (string-append directory "/" name)) >> + (stat (lstat full)) >> + (inode (assoc-ref properties 'inode)) >> + (type (assoc-ref properties 'type))) >> + (and (= inode (stat:ino stat)) >> + (or (eq? type 'unknown) >> + (eq? type (stat:type stat))))))))) >> + (scandir* directory) >> + (scandir directory (const #t) string> actual-value: #f >> result: FAIL > > Could you wrap the ‘scandir*’ and ‘scandir’ calls in ‘pk’, run: like this?

It's a bit expensive for me to do a build for just this test, but I can patch it and it should still get included in the full test-suite.log, yes? I guess it might make sense to do a build from a chroot manually to debug some of these test suite issues, but I usually just do a full package build to make sure I didn't manually tweak something without remembering what it was later... >> ++ guix build guile-gcrypt --with-branch=guile-gcrypt=master -d >> accepted connection from pid 17231, user vagrant >> updating checkout of 'https://notabug.org/cwebber/guile-gcrypt.git'... >> guix build: error: cannot fetch branch 'master' from https://notabug.org/cwebber/guile-gcrypt.git: the SSL certificate is invalid: 0x08 - The certificate is not correctly signed by the trusted CA >> + latest_drv= >> FAIL tests/guix-build-branch.sh (exit status: 1) > > This test relies on network access + HTTPS certificates.

Alternately/Additionally, ship or create a git repository from the source tree, run git daemon on a random free port, and try it there. live well, vagrant
