When
NIX_DAEMON_PACKAGE
is set, make all the tests use the Nix daemon.That way we can test every piece of Nix functionality both with and without the daemon.
Tests for which using the daemon isn’t possible or doesn’t make sense can selectively be disabled with
needLocalStore
.Similarely, tests can enforce a constraint on a new-enough daemon by using
requireDaemonNewerThan 2.4pre_20210714
(There’s a few tests that break with the daemon for bad reasons. I didn’t fix these, but they are marked with
buggyNeedLocalStore
)Fix #4824
