This implementation is quite naive. We could eventually wait within the function and thus not restarting the fetching process from scratch each time. |

The default evaluation mode (
github) attempts at fetching the evaluation results from the GitHub actions result.Those will only be available a few minutes after the PR has been opened as they are not trivial to compute.
Currently, if the results are not available right away,
nixpkgs-reviewfalls back to local evaluation.This PR changes this behavior. Now it will keep re-trying until the results are available.
Note: It is still possible to force local evaluation by using
--eval local.Motivation: Local evaluation is very resource-intensive (especially RAM). It should be an opt-in behavior.
This new approach is more predictable.
Questions:
-> I have set a maximum waiting time of 10min:
HandleCtrl-Ccorrectly (i.e. properly delete the worktree on exit)-> There is no worktree at this point. Just quit gracefully.
