invalid behavior on darwin

[patryk4815]

There is invalid behavior on darwin. nix-eval-jobs just stops after first error.

Darwin:

bash-5.1$ nix run github:NixOS/nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.nix-eval-jobs -- --flake 'github:NixOS/nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-linux' --workers 1

       Nixpkgs that fails to evaluate. You should not evaluate entire Nixpkgs
       without some special measures to handle failing packages, like those taken
       by Hydra.
error: unexpected EOF reading a line

Linux:

You cannot evaluate nixpkgs like this. The error message you see also tells you that. Checkout https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/top-level/release.nix instead which is also used by hydra to evaluate nixpkgs.

[patryk4815]

This was example lol

[patryk4815]

@Mic92 Why on darwin its stops after first error. But on Linux it continues? It is proper behavior?

[Mic92]

Potentially the eval process crashed. But it's hard to say from the log why. Maybe out of memory?

[Mic92]

The error handling in nix-eval-jobs is not so great... It was mainly inherited from its hydra origin.
I did start to refactor it into a more sane way: 7c2a476 but haven't managed to finish it yet.

[patryk4815]

maybe hydra need this fix also?
