Problem on setting up the Cuirass as substitute server

Problem on setting up the Cuirass as substitute server

[Reza Alizadeh Majd]

Hi Guix, 

Trying to setup Cuirass to build a series of packages, I followed the
instructions provided in following link: 

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Continuous-Integration.html

starting cuirass service on my machine, service starts with no error,
but when I check the web interface, list of specifications is empty.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %cuirass-specs
  #~(list
     '((#:name . "my-manifest")
       (#:load-path-inputs . ("guix"))
       (#:package-path-inputs . ())
       (#:proc-input . "guix")
       (#:proc-file . "build-aux/cuirass/gnu-system.scm")
       (#:proc . cuirass-jobs)
       (#:proc-args . ((subset . "manifests")
                       (systems . ("x86_64-linux"))
                       (manifests . (("config" . "manifest.scm")))))
       (#:inputs . (((#:name . "guix")
                     (#:url . "git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git")
                     (#:load-path . ".")
                     (#:branch . "master")
                     (#:no-compile? . #t))
                    ((#:name . "config")
                     (#:url . "https://github.com/ramajd/guix-manifest.git")
                     (#:load-path . ".")
                     (#:branch . "master")
                     (#:no-compile? . #t)))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

the manifest.scm file that I added for list of package for build:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(specifications->manifest
 '("hello"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I also don't receive any errors in cuirass logs: 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

can anyone help me on above configuration? did I miss anything about
specification definition?

Reza

add the `(#:build-outputs . ())` to my specification definition, cuirass
added my specification to the list of it's build specs. 

my current problem is that status of added jobs are `scheduled` and I
receive following message on cuirass logs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
2020-11-27T15:14:19 evaluation 1 for 'my-manifest' completed

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I assume this happened because that my server used available substitutes
from Guix substitute server, instead of building them by itself. is
that right?  

if not, is there any further thing that I need to apply on my spec
definition?

Reza

Hey Reza,

I think that cuirass may eventually be replaced by the guix build
coordinator.  I'm not certain if that helps you, but I figured I'd email
you something.
