From c08c444a39762970b72c6ef72889c4fd8314c4f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Miroshnichenko Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 22:31:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] fix(marmel): skip the two Landlock sandbox-exec tests The lib suite failed in the Nix sandbox: harness::sandbox::tests::test_internal_sandbox_exec_dev_null_and_dns harness::sandbox::tests::test_internal_sandbox_cross_directory_rename Failed to exec shell in sandbox: Permission denied (os error 13) apply_landlock_linux() allow-lists FHS paths only, and Landlock matches inodes rather than symlinked views, so nothing under /nix/store can be executed once the ruleset is applied; /bin/sh here is a store path. The build sandbox also drops the /usr, /lib, /run and /var rules, since those paths do not exist there, and has no /etc/resolv.conf without network, so neither test can pass however the package is written. 342 of 344 tests run, all green. The same denial applies at runtime: every shell tool call goes through marmel --internal-sandbox-exec and fails on NixOS. Tracked as nix-overlay-5ml. Upstream main still carries the FHS-only list. --- packages/marmel/package.nix | 24 +++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/marmel/package.nix b/packages/marmel/package.nix index cb04726..45b6958 100644 --- a/packages/marmel/package.nix +++ b/packages/marmel/package.nix @@ -36,12 +36,30 @@ rustPlatform.buildRustPackage rec { # src/orchestrator/bus.rs, src/orchestrator/preemption.rs), so the # manager-loop tests fail nondeterministically when the harness runs them on # parallel threads: rebuilding one unchanged derivation yielded 3 failures, - # then 1 failure, then 0 with serial threads.
