There are at least three problems here:

1. Because we use pexpect rather than subprocess to run nix in a TTY, nix prints terminal color escape sequences, which we then assume are part of the derivation name; we end up calling something like nix.log('\x1b[35;1m/nix/store/6sc0gb9lbw10kwzm3dk6qw3jj868cpgy-yaru-22.04.3.1.drv\x1b[0m').

2. Even after suppressing the colors with export NO_COLOR=1, nix.log('/nix/store/6sc0gb9lbw10kwzm3dk6qw3jj868cpgy-yaru-22.04.3.1.drv') still invokes an invalid nix command.

   $ nix log -f. /nix/store/6sc0gb9lbw10kwzm3dk6qw3jj868cpgy-yaru-22.04.3.1.drv
   error: attribute '/nix/store/6sc0gb9lbw10kwzm3dk6qw3jj868cpgy-yaru-22' in selection path '/nix/store/6sc0gb9lbw10kwzm3dk6qw3jj868cpgy-yaru-22.04.3.1.drv' not found

3. nix.log() swallows errors from the child process and converts them to None, but its callers aren’t prepared to handle None.

Hi,

I wrote about the current status of nix-bisect here. Thanks @mweinelt fort the bug report and @andersk for the analysis. At this point I'm not sure when/if I will work on this, but pull requests are welcome.

#28 should fix this
