Reproducing test failures that only happen when run by guix daemon

Reproducing test failures that only happen when run by guix daemon

[David Craven]

Hi,

Is there a tutorial or guide or something on how to do this?
How do I go about reproducing what happens when the tests are run by
guix-daemon?

Answering my own question:
env -i $(which bash) --noprofile --norc
source environment-variables

Maybe this should be mentioned in the manual?

Also ‘tar xf $(guix build -S the-package) && guix environment
the-package --container’.

(With the caveat that the guix-daemon chroot lacks /bin/sh, whereas
‘guix environment --container’ provides it, for convenience.)

Probably!  Under the ‘gnu-build-system’ part of “Build Systems” I’d say,
since it’s a feature of ‘gnu-build-system’ (inherited by most other
build systems).
