This actually bit me quite recently in `nixpkgs` because I assumed that `nix-build --check` would also error out if hashes don't match anymore[1] and so I wrongly assumed that I couldn't reproduce the mismatch error. The fix is rather simple, during the output registration a so-called `delayedException` is instantiated e.g. if a FOD hash-mismatch occurs. However, in case of `nix-build --check` (or `--rebuild` in case of `nix build`), the code-path where this exception is thrown will never be reached. By adding that check to the if-clause that causes an early exit in case of `bmCheck`, the issue is gone. Also added a (previously failing) test-case to demonstrate the problem. [1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/139238, the underlying issue was that `nix-prefetch-git` returns different hashes than `fetchgit` because the latter one fetches submodules by default. |
