https://nixos.org/nixos/manual/index.html#sec-nixos-tests mentions copy_file_from_host but this no longer exists, as of #72810 in which it was purposefully removed.

Let's remove this stale mention.

Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Hey @tomfitzhenry, thank you! This is good becasue the obsolete documentation was of course a bit misleading/confusing.

This is fine for merging but it might be more helpful for readers if the comment was refreshed to mention the correct existing function copy_from_host. Can i ask you to do that please?

This was renamed in the Perl -> Python test driver migration.

Thanks for the review!

Ah, I wasn't aware of copy_from_host. I've checked that function, and it behaves the same way as copy_file_from_host, so I've just updated the doc string to use the correct function name.
