What does the test do?
I tried to document the differences between the container the daemon
creates and the one you get with “guix environment -C” here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Debugging-Build-Failures.html
Essentially it boils down to /bin/sh available in one case and not in
the other, and UID being zero in one case and something else in the
other. If you add “-N”, then of course you have networking, which is
not available in the guix-daemon container.
In the end, if you want to be sure what the differences are, you can
compare:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/nix/libstore/build.cc#n2062
and
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/build/linux-container.scm#n209
Hopefully with reepca’s work we can eventually have a single
implementation. :-)
HTH!
Ludo’.
