Fix a bug where `tail -f` would terminate with an error due to failing
to parse a UTF-8 string from a sequence of bytes read from the
followed file. This commit replaces the call to `BufRead::read_line()`
with a call to `BufRead::read_until()` so that any sequence of bytes
regardless of encoding can be read.
Fixes#1050.
For the CICD on macOS, this fixes:
```
---- common::util::tests::test_check_coreutil_version stdout ----
---- common::util::tests::test_expected_result stdout ----
thread 'common::util::tests::test_expected_result' panicked at
'byte index 4 is out of bounds of `9.0`', tests/common/util.rs:1172:41
```
This fixes an issue on macOS/bsd where multiple calls
to `host_name_for` each added a prefix 'g'.
The issue led to some tests being skipped because `util_name` was
renamed to e.g. "ggid" instead of "gid".
Change the argument names in
* `AtPath::hard_link()`,
* `AtPath::symlink_file()`, and
* `AtPath::symlink_dir()`,
from `src` and `dest` to `original` and `link` to match the arguments of
the corresponding functions from the Rust standard library. For example,
see `std::os::unix::fs::symlink()`.
Change the behavior of `head` to display an error for each problematic
file, instead of displaying an error message for the first problematic
file and terminating immediately at that point. This change now matches
the behavior of GNU `head`.
Before this commit, the first error caused the program to terminate
immediately:
$ head a b c
head: error: head: cannot open 'a' for reading: No such file or directory
After this commit:
$ head a b c
head: cannot open 'a' for reading: No such file or directory
head: cannot open 'b' for reading: No such file or directory
head: cannot open 'c' for reading: No such file or directory
* Change unchecked unwrapping to unwrap_or_default for argument parsing (resolving #1845)
* Added unit-testing for the collect_str function on invalid utf8 OsStrs
* Added a warning-message for identification purpose to the collect_str method.
* - Add removal of wrongly encoded empty strings to basename
- Add testing of broken encoding to basename
- Changed UCommand to use collect_str in args method to allow for integration testing of that method
- Change UCommand to use unwarp_or_default in arg method to match the behaviour of collect_str
* Trying out a new pattern for convert_str for getting a feeling of how the API feels with more control
* Adding convenience API for compact calls
* Add new API to everywhere, fix test for basename
* Added unit-testing for the conversion options
* Added unit-testing for the conversion options for windows
* fixed compilation and some merge hiccups
* Remove windows tests in order to make merge request build
* Fix formatting to match rustfmt for the merged file
* Improve documentation of the collect_str method and the unit-tests
* Fix compilation problems with test
