Add an installer test

Open edolstra opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

This is loosely based on the Nix installer matrix (https://github.com/grahamc/nix-install-matrix), but it runs inside a Nix build using QEMU rather than outside of it using Vagrant. It also doesn't rely on import-from-derivation, unlike the old installer test that ran inside a declaratively built RedHat/Debian image.

Usage:

# nix build .#hydraJobs.installerTests.ubuntu-14-04.install-default

Hydra jobset for testing: https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/installer-test
