And so, even for unpinned package. In this case, we can't do a HEAD request. So we fallback by looking at what's available in the cache and using the most recently downloaded version from the cache. This is only a best effort as the most recently downloaded one may not be the actual latest. But common, this is a case where (a) someone didn't pin any version, (b) is trying to build on in an offline setup. We could possibly make that edge-case better but, let's see if anyone ever complains about it first.
When the version isn't a git sha or a tag, we always check that we got
the last version of a particular dependency before building. This is
to avoid those awkward moments where someone try to use something from
the stdlib that is brand new, and despite using 'main' they get a
strange build failure regarding how it's not available.
An important note is that we don't actually re-download the package
when the case occurs; we merely check an HTTP ETag from a (cheap) 'HEAD'
request on the package registry. If the tag hasn't changed then that
means the local version is correct.
The behavior is completely bypassed if the version is specified using
a git sha or a tag, as here, we can assume that fetching it once it
enough (and that it can change). If a package maintainer force-pushed
a tag however, there may be discrepency and the only way around that
is to `rm -r ./build`.
Best-effort to assert whether a version refers is a git sha digest or a tag. When it is, we
avoid re-downloading it if it's already fetched. But when it isn't, and thus refer to a branch,
we always re-download it. Note however that the download might be short-circuited by the
system-wide package cache, so a download doesn't actually mean a network request.
The package cache is however smart-enough to assert whether a package in the cache must be
re-downloaded (using HTTP ETag). So this is mostly about delegating the re-downloading logic to
the global packages cache.
fix: Opaque types are now properly handled in code gen (i.e. code gen functions, in datums/redeemers, in from data casts)
chore: add specific nested opaque type tests to code gen
Computes the policy ID of a minting policy; added guards for blueprint address to check that it's not a minting policy; Wasn't 100% sure where the errors should live, so I'm happy to move them if there's objections
fix: Issue where using var pattern in a when was passing the constr index instead of the constr
fix: Issue where expecting on a list had unexpected behaviors based on list length
closes#569
* added new methods to Definitions
it doesn't use expect
* lookup was failing for the special map/pair case
when resolving list generics
