Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when we try to get outputs (based on a bool parameter which perhaps we can get rid of with this), we get:
error: derivation 'caDependingOnCA' does not have valid outputs:
error: while evaluating the output path of a derivation at <nix/derivation-internal.nix>:19:9:
18| value = commonAttrs // {
19| outPath = builtins.getAttr outputName strict;\n
| ^
20| drvPath = strict.drvPath;
error: path '/0rmq7bvk2raajd310spvd416f2jajrabcg6ar706gjbd6b8nmvks' is not in the Nix store
or so.
This is because that is a placeholder, not a read store path.
Describe the solution you'd like
We should first check if it is a placeholder, and then the path to be std::nullopt accordingly.

We should first check if it is a placeholder, and then the path to be
std::nulloptaccordingly.Describe alternatives you've considered
Arguably this whole function is a misguided mess considering https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6507 though.

Currently breaking https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/pull/1421
