I think this is luarocks still breaking the symlinks. It’s filesystem enumeration order dependent, so breaks at random. Longer comment at #81206 (comment)

Notice the symlinks aren’t alongside the library in the lib/lua/5.1 directory.

Agreed, that's what I'm seeing.

My current idea is to work around this by not relying on symlinks but instead computing what the library name should be:

  luv = lua.pkgs.luv;
  luvpath = with builtins ; if stdenv.isDarwin
    then "${luv.libluv}/lib/lua/${lua.luaversion}/libluv.${head (match "([0-9.]+).*" luv.version)}.dylib"
    else "${luv}/lib/lua/${lua.luaversion}/luv.so";

On Darwin 10.14.6 this gives:

/nix/store/jpzxw0ahvrg7yl6gf68k41i3lvaybmj7-lua5.2-luv-1.30.0-0/lib/lua/5.2/libluv.1.30.0.dylib

... which is referencing the non-symlinked portion of the tree:

/nix/store/jpzxw0ahvrg7yl6gf68k41i3lvaybmj7-lua5.2-luv-1.30.0-0
...
├── lib
│   └── lua
│       └── 5.2
│           └── libluv.1.30.0.dylib
...

My guess is that this would make this less fragile in the long-run?

Also, I am uncertain of the difference between:

luajit.pkgs.luv.libluv
lua.pkgs.luv.libluv

... they don't evaluate to the same derivation on my machine

doronbehar · 2020-08-14T16:12:28Z

That's because lua = lua52 not luajit.

doronbehar · 2020-08-14T16:30:08Z

@siriobalmelli libluv is almost broken ever since Luarocks 3.3.1. See:

The best attempt to fix this was #80528 but it got stale. Bottom lines: #80528 (comment) & #80528 (comment) & #80528 (comment).

I'm sorry to hear that Neovim is now broken on Darwin, but I'm not sure what can be done. I think the best way to go is to help Luarocks play better with cmake based rocks builds, as @teto said in #80528 (comment) .

siriobalmelli · 2020-08-14T18:32:07Z

I'm tracking ... but (from someone who is not in Lua ecosystem at all), which one should we be using for neovim?

Wow, I see you and @thefloweringash already spent quite a bit of effort trying to get this fixed ... but I'm also seeing the upstream issue luarocks/luarocks#1160 is still open 😮

From my understanding, we can avoid immediate breakage with this PR by referencing libluv.1.30.0.dylib directly, instead of libluv.dylib which has this flaky symlink issue ... while upstream Lua gets their house in order.

doronbehar · 2020-08-14T19:38:24Z

luajit.

but I'm also seeing the upstream issue luarocks/luarocks#1160 is still open 😮

Yea, this was sort of already requested at luarocks/luarocks#339 which is even more ancient.

From my understanding, we can avoid immediate breakage with this PR by referencing libluv.1.30.0.dylib directly, instead of libluv.dylib which has this flaky symlink issue ... while upstream Lua gets their house in order.

Sounds good to me. Please use ${libluv.version} in place of 1.30.0.

Thank you, appreciated. A couple notes:

Standardized on lua.pkgs.luv.libluv (some stanzas referenced lua.pkgs.luv instead).

Both luajit.pkgs.luv.version and luajit.pkgs.luv.libluv.version give "1.30.0-0", in order to derive 1.30.0 the trailing -0 must be stripped, which I'm currently doing with with builtins; head (match "([0-9.]+).*" luv.version) (suggestions for improvement welcome).

siriobalmelli · 2020-08-14T21:34:39Z

ok, looks like Linux needs to reference lua.pkgs.luv while Darwin needs lua.pkgs.luv.libluv ... neither system will work with the other path.

My efforts to standardize on lua.pkgs.luv.libluv were what broke Linux ... even though it is a valid derivation (?)

Scratching my head head here a bit, but it works and that's good enough for the interim, while Lua upstream straightens out.

In that OfBorg failure, the requested path file was luv.so but the directory contains libluv.so. Does it work if you add lib to linux as well?

siriobalmelli · 2020-08-14T23:43:10Z

In that OfBorg failure, the requested path file was luv.so but the directory contains libluv.so. Does it work if you add lib to linux as well?

Unfortunately, that was the change I tried that broke the build on Linux:

  luv = lua.pkgs.luv;
  luversion = with builtins; head (match "([0-9.]+).*" luv.version);
  luvpath =  if stdenv.isDarwin
    then "${luv.libluv}/lib/lua/${lua.luaversion}/libluv.${luversion}.dylib"
    else "${luv.libluv}/lib/lua/${lua.luaversion}/libluv.so.${luversion}";

This gives:

nix-repl> :l ./default.nix
Added 12234 variables.

nix-repl> luv = lua.pkgs.luv

nix-repl> luversion = with builtins; head (match "([0-9.]+).*" luv.version)  

nix-repl> luvpath3 = "${luv.libluv}/lib/lua/${lua.luaversion}/libluv.so.${luversion}"

nix-repl> luvpath3

thefloweringash · 2020-08-15T07:10:41Z

Oh, I see why. The linker succeeds but the SONAME from the shared library file is libluv.so.1 so it fails at load time since it's not present on the rpath. The luv.so library doesn't have a SONAME and the resulting nvim binary has the absolute path. Thanks for checking, sorry for the derail.

doronbehar

The PR label rebuild-linux:0 is set and the build of it for Linux and darwin succeed, so I conclude it's good to go. But yes, we do need to fix this properly at some point. Thanks for adding the link to #80528 in a comment.
