Can the builder access channel code?

Can the builder access channel code?

Hi,

I'm working on a new build-systems from a channel.
When building a package using this build-system, I get

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
building /gnu/store/j1qracwgv7qbxslbf6755z8wcwlv3bcf-foobar-qux-hires-2010.drv...
Backtrace:

Here is the offending part:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define* (foobar-build store name inputs
                        #:key
                        (tests? #f)
                        (build-targets #f)
                        (phases '(@ (my-guix build foobar-build-system)
                                    %standard-phases))
                        (outputs '("out"))
                        (search-paths '())
                        (system (%current-system))
                        (guile #f)
                        (substitutable? #t)
                        (imported-modules %foobar-build-system-modules)
                        (modules '((my-guix build foobar-build-system)
                                   (guix build utils))))
   ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The default value of the key argument "modules" is the problem.  Is it
possible that the builder cannot find channel modules, or any module out
of the Guix tree?

So your derivation tries to use ‘foobar-build’ on the build side?  That
sounds weird.

In general, build systems only import (guix build …) modules on the
build side; things like (guix build-system …) modules (not to be
confused!) are meant to be used on the host side.

HTH,
Ludo’.

My bad, I had forgotten to add my build-system to the list of build-side modules:

(define %foo-build-system-modules
  ;; Build-side modules imported by default.
  `((my-guix build foo-build-system)
    ,@%gnu-build-system-modules))

This fixes it, thanks for you help!
