This tries to open the given file to use as stdin, and if it fails,
for any reason, it uses /dev/null instead.
This is useful in cases where we would otherwise do either of these:
```fish
test -r /path/to/file
and string match foo < /path/to/file
cat /path/to/file 2>/dev/null | string match foo
```
This both makes it nicer and shorter, *and* helps with TOCTTOU - what if the file is removed/changed after the check?
The reason for reading /dev/null instead of a closed fd is that a closed fd will often cause an error.
In case opening /dev/null fails, it still skips the command.
That's really a last resort for when the operating system
has turned out to be a platypus and not a unix.
Fixes#4865
(cherry picked from commit df8b9b7095)
This introduces a feature flag, "test-require-arg", that removes builtin test's zero and one argument special modes.
That means:
- `test -n` returns false
- `test -z` returns true
- `test -x` with any other option errors out with "missing argument"
- `test foo` errors out as expecting an option
`test -n` returning true is a frequent source of confusion, and so we are breaking with posix in this regard.
As always the flag defaults to off and can be turned on. In future it will default to on and then eventually be made read-only.
There is a new FLOG category "deprecated-test", run `fish -d deprecated-test` and it will show any test call that would change in future.
Another consequence of a583fe723 ("commandline -f foo" to skip queue
and execute immediately, 2024-04-08) is that "commandline -f repaint"
will paint the prompt with the current value of $status which might be
set from a shell command in a the currently executing binding, instead of
waiting for the top-level status. This is wrong, at least historically. It
surfaces in bindings like alt-w which always paint a status value of [1]
when on single-lines commandlines.
Another regression is that a redundant repaint in a signal handler outputs
an extra prompt.
Fix both by making repaint commands go over the input queue again. This way,
they are always run with a good commandline state. There is no need to
repaint immediately because I don't think anyone has a data dependency on it
(we currently don't expose the prompt string), it's only for rendering.
Popular operating systems support shift-delete to delete the selected item
in an autocompletion widgets. We already support this in the history pager.
Let's do the same for up-arrow history search.

File names that have lots of spaces look quite ugly when inserted as
completions because every space will have a backslash.
Add an initial heuristic to decide when to use quotes instead of
backslash escapes.
Quote when
1. it's not an autosuggestion
2. we replace the token or insert a fresh one
3. we will add a space at the end
In future we could relax some of these requirements.
Requirement 2 means we don't quote when appending to an existing token.
Need to find a natural behavior here.
Re 3, if the completion adds no space, users will probably want to add more
characters, which looks a bit weird if the token has a trailing quote.
We could relax this requirement for directory completions, so «ls so»
completes to «ls 'some dir with spaces'/».
Closes#5433
I think commit 8386088b3 (Update commandline state changes eagerly as well,
2024-04-11) broke the alt-s binding.
This is because we update the commandline state snapshot (which is consumed
by builtin commandline and others) only at key points. This seems like a
dubious optimization. With the new streamlined bind execution semantics,
this doesn't really work anymore; any shell command can run any number of
commands like "commandline -i foo" which should synchronize.
Do the simple thing of calculating the snapshot whenever needed.
If a binding was input starting with "\e", it's usually a raw control sequence.
Today we display the canonical version like:
bind --preset alt-\[,1,\;,5,C foo
even if the input is
bind --preset \e\[1\;5C foo
Make it look like the input again. This looks more familiar and less
surprising (especially since we canonicalize CSI to "alt-[").
Except that we use the \x01 representation instead of \ca because the
"control" part can be confusing. We're inside an escape sequence so it seems
highly unlikely that an ASCII control character actually comes from the user
holding the control key.
The downside is that this hides the canonical version; it might be surprising
that a raw-escape-sequence binding can be erased using the new syntax and
vice versa.
See the changelog additions for user-visible changes.
Since we enable/disable terminal protocols whenever we pass terminal ownership,
tests can no longer run in parallel on the same terminal.
For the same reason, readline shortcuts in the gdb REPL will not work anymore.
As a remedy, use gdbserver, or lobby for CSI u support in libreadline.
Add sleep to some tests, otherwise they fall (both in CI and locally).
There are two weird failures on FreeBSD remaining, disable them for now

Design and implementation borrows heavily from Kakoune.
In future, we should try to implement more of the kitty progressive
enhancements.
Closes#10359
It appears that the shift-delete key escape sequence is not being generated
because there's no mapping for it in screen-256color, causing the test to fail.
Switch to using f1 for the test.
This makes it so code like
```fish
echo foo
echo bar
```
is collapsed into
```fish
echo foo
echo bar
```
One empty line is allowed, more is overkill.
We could also allow more than one for e.g. function endings.
Commit e5b34d5cd (Suppress autosuggesting during backspacing like browsers do,
2012-02-06) disabled autosuggestion when backspacing. Autosuggestions are
re-enabled whenever we insert anything in the command line. Undo uses a
different code path to insert into the command line, which does not re-enable
autosuggestion.
Fix that.
Also re-enable autosuggestion when undo erases from the command line.
This seems like the simplest approach. It's not clear if there's a better
behavior; browsers don't agree on one in any case.
This is the last remnant of the old percent expansion.
It has the downsides of it, in that it is annoying to combine with
anything:
```fish
echo %self/foo
```
prints "%self/foo", not fish's pid.
We have introduced $fish_pid in 3.0, which is much easier to use -
just like a variable, because it is one.
If you need backwards-compatibility for < 3.0, you can use the
following shim:
```fish
set -q fish_pid
or set -g fish_pid %self
```
So we introduce a feature-flag called "remove-percent-self" to turn it
off.
"%self" will simply not be special, e.g. `echo %self` will print
"%self".
This stops you from doing e.g.
```fish
set pager command less
echo foo | $pager
```
Currently, it would run the command *builtin*, which can only do
`--search` and similar, and would most likely end up printing its own
help.
That means it very very likely won't work, and the code is misguided -
it is trying to defeat function resolution in a way that won't do what
the author wants it to.
The alternative would be to make the command *builtin* execute the
command, *but*
1. That would require rearchitecting and rewriting a bunch of it and
the parser
2. It would be a large footgun, in that `set EDITOR command foo` will
only ever work inside fish, but $EDITOR is also used outside.
I don't want to add a feature that we would immediately have to discourage.
Commit b768b9d3f (Use fuzzy subsequence completion for options names as well,
2024-01-27) allowed completing "oa" to "--foobar", which is a false positive,
especially because it hides other valid completions of non-option arguments.
Let's at least require a leading dash again before completing option names.
Version 2.1.0 introduced subsequence matching for completions but as the
changelog entry mentions, "This feature [...] is not yet implemented for
options (like ``--foobar``)". Add it. Seems like a strict improvement,
pretty much.
Issue #10194 reports Cobra completions do
set -l args (commandline -opc)
eval $args[1] __complete $args[2..] (commandline -ct | string escape)
The intent behind "eval" is to expand variables and tildes in "$args".
Fair enough. Several of our own completions do the same, see the next commit.
The problem with "commandline -o" + "eval" is that the former already
removes quotes that are relevant for "eval". This becomes a problem if $args
contains quoted () or {}, for example this command will wrongly execute a
command substituion:
git --work-tree='(launch-missiles)' <TAB>
It is possible to escape the string the tokens before running eval, but
then there will be no expansion of variables etc. The problem is that
"commandline -o" only unescapes tokens so they end up in a weird state
somewhere in-between what the user typed and the expanded version.
Remove the need for "eval" by introducing "commandline -x" which expands
things like variables and braces. This enables custom completion scripts to
be aware of shell variables without eval, see the added test for completions
to "make -C $var/some/dir ".
This means that essentially all third party scripts should migrate from
"commandline -o" to "commandline -x". For example
set -l tokens
if commandline -x >/dev/null 2>&1
set tokens (commandline -xpc)
else
set tokens (commandline -opc)
end
Since this is mainly used for completions, the expansion skips command
substitutions. They are passed through as-is (instead of cancelling or
expanding to nothing) to make custom completion scripts work reasonably well
in the common case. Of course there are cases where we would want to expand
command substitutions here, so I'm not sure.
The C++ code implicitly relied on wrapping behavior.
There are probably more cases like this. Maybe we should disable
"overflow-checks" in release mode.
This would crash from the highlighter for something like
`PATH={$PATH[echo " "`
The underlying cause is that we use "char_at" which panics on
overread.
So instead this implements try_char_at and then just returns None.
This was an issue with "--no-execute", which has no variables and
therefore no $HOME:
```fish
fish --no-execute /path/to/file
```
would say the error is in `~/path/to/file`.
Instead, since this is just for a message, we simply return the
filename without doing the replacement.
Fixes#10171
These printed "Unknown error while evaluating command substitution".
Now they print something like
```
fish: for: status: cannot overwrite read-only variable
for status in foo; end
^~~~~^
in command substitution
fish: Invalid arguments
echo (for status in foo; end)
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
```
for `echo (for status in foo; end)`
This is, of course, still not *great*. Mostly the `fish: Invalid
arguments` is basically entirely redundant.
An alternative is to simply skip the error message, but that requires some
more scaffolding (describe_with_prefix adds some error messages on its
own, so we can't simply say "don't add the prefix if we don't have a
message")
(cherry picked from commit 1b5eec2af6)
This fixes the following deadlock. The C++ functions path_get_config and
path_get_data lazily determine paths and then cache those in a C++ static
variable. The path determination requires inspecting the environment stack.
If these functions are first called while the environment stack is locked
(in this case, when fetching the $history variable) we can get a deadlock.
The fix is to call them eagerly during env_init. This can be removed once
the corresponding C++ functions are removed.
This issue caused fish_config to fail to report colors and themes.
Add a test.
This makes it so
```fish
if -e foo
# do something
end
```
complains about `-e` not being a command instead of `end` being used
outside of an if-block.
That means both that `-e` could now be used as a command name (it
already can outside of `if`!) *and* that we get a better error!
The only way to get `if` to be a decorated statement now is to use `if
-h` or `if --help` specifically (with a literal option).
The same goes for switch, while and begin.
It would be possible, alternatively, to disallow `if -e` and point
towards using `test` instead, but the "unknown command" message should
already point towards using `test` more than pointing at the
"end" (that might be quite far away).
This was already supposed to handle `--foo=bar<TAB>` cases, except it
printed the `--foo=` again, causing fish to take that as part of the
token.
See #9538 for a similar thing with __fish_complete_directories.
Fixes#10011
We don't change anything about compilation-setup, we just immediately jump to
Rust, making the eventual final swap to a Rust entrypoint very easy.
There are some string-usage and format-string differences that are generally
quite messy.
This allows e.g. `foo | command time`, while still rejecting `foo | time`.
(this should really be done in the ast itself, but tbh most of
parse_util kinda should)
Fixes#9985
This was "function", needs to be "function*s*".
It was only an issue in the option parsing because we set cmd there
again instead of passing it. Maybe these should just be file-level constants?
Turns out doing `==` on Enums with values will do a deep comparison,
including the values.
So EventDescription::Signal(SIGTERM) is !=
EventDescription::Signal(SIGWINCH).
That's not what we want here, so this does a bit of a roundabout thing.
Padding with an unprintable character is now disallowed, like it was for other
zero-length characters.
`string shorten` now ignores escape sequences and non-printable characters
when calculating the visible width of the ellipsis used (except for `\b`,
which is treated as a width of -1).
Previously `fish_wcswidth` returned a length of -1 when the ellipsis-str
contained any non-printable character, causing the command to poentially
print a larger width than expected.
This also fixes an integer overflows in `string shorten`'s
`max` and `max2`, when the cumulative sum of character widths turned negative
(e.g. with any non-printable characters, or `\b` after the changes above).
The overflow potentially caused strings containing non-printable characters
to be truncated.
This adds test that verify the fixed behaviour.
- Add test to verify piped string replace exit code
Ensure fields parsing error messages are the same.
Note: C++ relied upon the value of the parsed value even when `errno` was set,
that is defined behaviour we should not rely on, and cannot easilt be replicated from Rust.
Therefore the Rust version will change the following error behaviour from:
```shell
> string split --fields=a "" abc
string split: Invalid fields value 'a'
> string split --fields=1a "" abc
string split: 1a: invalid integer
```
To:
```shell
> string split --fields=a "" abc
string split: a: invalid integer
> string split --fields=1a "" abc
string split: 1a: invalid integer
```
We could end up overflowing if we print out something that's a multiple of the
chunk size, which would then finish printing in the chunk-printing, but not
break out early.
This makes `fish -c begin` fail with a status of 127 - it already
printed a syntax error so that was weird. (127 was the status for
syntax errors when piping to fish, so we stay consistent with that)
We allow multiple `-c` commands, and this will return the regular
status if the last `-c` succeeded.
This is fundamentally an extremely weird situation but this is the
simple targeted fix - we did nothing, unsuccessfully, so we should
fail.
Things to consider in future:
1. Return something better than 127 - that's the status for "unknown
command"!
2. Fail after a `-c` failed, potentially even checking all of them
before executing the first?
Fixes#9888
This restores the status quo where builtins are like external commands
in that they can't see anything after a 0x00, because that's the c-style
string terminator.
