Now that I know how to clear failed paths, here is my experience with --option build-cache-failures (note the added 's' in build-cache-failures, because that's what 'man nix.conf' says). First time build (not really, but first time build after a nix-store --clear-failed-paths '*'): $ nix-build --option build-cache-failures false -A motion these derivations will be built: /nix/store/qlrz1hbl171fb2g66sa8ll2rpyzm45y5-motion-3.2.12.drv building path(s) `/nix/store/4f3h897a00w2grhfz5j4pgrgy5bc9b1m-motion-3.2.12' building /nix/store/4f3h897a00w2grhfz5j4pgrgy5bc9b1m-motion-3.2.12 unpacking sources [...] make: *** [.depend] Error 1 builder for `/nix/store/qlrz1hbl171fb2g66sa8ll2rpyzm45y5-motion-3.2.12.drv' failed with exit code 2 error: build of `/nix/store/qlrz1hbl171fb2g66sa8ll2rpyzm45y5-motion-3.2.12.drv' failed $ nix-build --option build-cache-failures false -A motion these derivations will be built: /nix/store/qlrz1hbl171fb2g66sa8ll2rpyzm45y5-motion-3.2.12.drv builder for `/nix/store/4f3h897a00w2grhfz5j4pgrgy5bc9b1m-motion-3.2.12' failed previously (cached) error: build of `/nix/store/qlrz1hbl171fb2g66sa8ll2rpyzm45y5-motion-3.2.12.drv' failed Why didn't nix honor my request to *not* do negative caching?
