Is there a way that I can build a package via the repl?
For example,
If I had a channel with a custom package in it, can I do:

`$ guix repl -L .`
`> ,use (my-channel packages base) `
`> (build-package my-package) ;; this is the example imaginary command `

Is something like this possible? I wasn't able to find it in the docs.

As far as I know, no. I have been looking for this as well,
in order to make package development more interactive.

I'd even want more: access to the individual build steps.

Well, it is not what you are asking I guess, but it is possible:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix repl
scheme@(guix-user)> (use-modules (guix scripts build))
scheme@(guix-user)> (guix-build "-L" "." "bonjour")
/gnu/store/m658csbnly6zywfl5nax9glya3rzhbdy-bonjour-2.10
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And there is no '~' expansion so "-L" "~/somewhere" does not work.

Well, I do not know enough the API but it should be added and exposed if
it does not exist yet.  And the question is which level of granularity?

The entry point is "(guix scripts build)".

Do you mean the "phases"?

One way to do this with the guix API is to get the derivation, then build it:

(use-modules (guix derivations) (guix store) (gnu packages bash))
(define package bash-minimal)
(define store (open-connection))
(define der (package-derivation store package))
(build-derivations store (list der))

Is that what you want?

Yes, but provides something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules
 (guix store)
 (guix derivations)
 (guix packages))
 
(define (build-packages packages)
  (with-store store
    (let ((builds (map (lambda (package)
                         (package-derivation store package))
                       packages)))
      (build-derivations store builds))))

(define (build-package package)
  (build-packages (list package)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Because otherwise, you need to know "package-derivation" and
"build-derivation" and where they are (I run 'ag' or 'git-grep'
to find them which is not handy).  And for example, I knew it was
possible but it was not "obvious". :-)

Cheers,
simon

As a side note, the various guix-foo commands from guix/scripts/* have
an undefined return value so you can't check for #t or anything to see
if a package built.

(guix scripts) has a high-level ‘build-package’ procedure (initially
written for Emacs-Guix) that can be used like this:

Hi!

Thank you Ludovic for sharing these REPL commands.

I cannot build packages this way in Geiser though, because unless a
substitute is available, the Geiser buffer chokes on the very large
output.

Does anyone know how to work around this limitation?

Does anyone build Guix packages from the Geiser REPL?

Cheers!

Really cool!

Maybe “build-package“ could be imported with ",use(guix)" or moved
elsewhere than (guix scripts) which is maybe not the natural place.

All the best,

This is great, but if the build fails I just get an error message, there
is not output regarding where and why it failed.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,run-in-store (build-package prot-common)
The following derivations will be built:
   /gnu/store/scjj4z453cwh88nlrkbxhllvkdyr90h0-prot-common-0.drv
   /gnu/store/px4b6c5sc819pjdpn53sh12p3ahyja9n-prot-common.el.drv
While executing meta-command:
ERROR:
  1. &store-protocol-error:
      message: "build of `/gnu/store/scjj4z453cwh88nlrkbxhllvkdyr90h0-prot-common-0.drv' failed"
      status: 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is there way to make it ouput the same thing as it would if I ran `guix
build` on the CLI?
