nixos/tests/installer.nix: fix hydra eval#220308
Merged
Conversation
Hydra Eval has been throwing these eval errors for the past four months, which makes the yellow "Eval Errors" bubble pretty useless: https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1790611#tabs-errors ``` in job ‘nixos.tests.installer.separateBoot.aarch64-linux’: error: Non-EFI boot methods are only supported on i686 / x86_64 in job ‘nixos.tests.installer.simple.aarch64-linux’: error: Non-EFI boot methods are only supported on i686 / x86_64 in job ‘nixos.tests.installer.lvm.aarch64-linux’: error: Non-EFI boot methods are only supported on i686 / x86_64 ``` This PR moves the failure for the `!isEfi && !pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.isx86` case from eval-time to runtime, so the failure gets categorized under the test that produced it, rather than just being lumped in to the catch-all Eval Errors pile which... apparently nobody cares about.

Yes but that's not at fault. Everything was fine until four months ago. The problem is that Hydra shouldn't even be attempting to eval this job on aarch64. Unfortunately debugging the Hydra-related parts of nixpkgs basically requires setting up your own Hydra instance, since Hydra expects to have access to the Nix evaluator (rather than just the resulting derivations). |

Aha. I wonder if it's related to addition of aarch64 to the CI. I see that Otheriwse it should be fine to turn the test into no-op. |
