For some reason, we have two places where a variable can be read-only:
- By key in env.cpp:is_read_only(), which is checked via set*
- By flag on the actual env_var_t, which is checked e.g. in
parse_execution
The latter didn't happen for non-electric variables like hostname,
because they used the default constructor, because they were
constructed via operator[] (or some such C++-iness).
This caused for-loops to crash on an assert if they used a
non-electric read-only var like $hostname or $SHLVL.
Instead, we explicitly set the flag.
We might want to remove one of the two read-only checks, or something?
Fixes#5548.
This previously used /dev/tty to make sure we have `source` connected
to a terminal. Only as it turns out, FreeBSD doesn't have that (https://builds.sr.ht/~faho/job/15308).
So instead, let's just use the expect tests since stdin there is by
definition a terminal.
This broke fishtape, which did
somestuff | fish -c "source"
Because `source` didn't have a redirection, it refused to read from
stdin.
So, to keep the common issue of `source (command that does not print)`
from seeminly stopping fish, we instead actually check if stdin is a terminal.
For things like
source $undefined
or
source (nooutput)
it was quite annoying that it read from tty.
Instead we now require a "-" as the filename to read from the tty.
This does not apply to reading from stdin if it's redirected, so
something | source
still works.
Fixes#2633.
* Hoist `for` loop control var to enclosing scope
It should be possible to reference the last value assigned to a `for`
loop control var when the loop terminates. This makes it easier to detect
if we broke out of the loop among other things. This change makes fish
`for` loops behave like most other shells.
Fixes#1935
* Remove redundant line
Using a read-only variable like `status` as a for loop control variable
has never worked. But without this change you simply get non-sensical
behavior that leaves you scratching your head in puzzlement. This change
replaces the non-sensical behavior with an explicit error message.
Fixes#4342
A recent regression to the `alias` command points out the need for more
unit tests of its behavior. I also decided to use it as an opportunity
to normalize the output of just `alias` to list aliases.
For example, an argument 12345^ is a real argument, not a redirection
There's no reason to use ^ here instead of >, and it's annoying to git
users.
Fixes#1873
I noticed while fixing issue #2702 that the fish program being tested
was sourcing config.fish files outside of the current build. This also
happens when Travis CI runs the tests but isn't an issue there because
of how Travis is configured to execute the tests.
I also noticed that running `make test` was polluting my personal fish
history; which will become a bigger problem if and when the fishd universal
var file is moved from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to $XDG_DATA_HOME.
This change makes it possible for an individual to run the tests on
their local machine secure in the knowledge that only the config.fish and
related files from their git repository will be used and doing so won't
pollute their personal fish history.
Resolves#469
