This teaches the status command to work with features.
'status features' will show a table listing all known features and whether
they are currently on or off.
`status test-feature` will test an individual feature, setting the exit status to
0 if the feature is on, 1 if off, 2 if unknown.
This introduces a new type features_t that exposes feature flags. The intent
is to allow a deprecation/incremental adoption path. This is not a general
purpose configuration mechanism, but instead allows for compatibility during
the transition as features are added/removed.
Each feature has a user-presentable short name and a short description. Their
values are tracked in a struct features_t.
We start with one feature stderr_nocaret, but it's not hooked up yet.
This was done in share/config.fish, but leads to surprising results if
that isn't read - e.g. because someone just built fish in the git
directory to test it without installing.
It's also not something that is any more or less complicated.
For compatibility, keep it in config.fish as well for the time being.
complete.cpp strips the path from commands before parsing for
completions, meaning that when we called `path_get_path()` against
`cmd`, if `./cmd` were typed in at the command line but `cmd` does not
exist in the PATH, then the command would incorrectly be flagged as not
present and the completions would be skipped.
This is also faster when an absolute/relative path is used for a
command, as we now search with the original path which skips searching
PATH directories unnecessarily.
Found when debugging why completions for `./configure` wouldn't work.
This brings back expansion of `%n` where `n` is a job id, but not as a
general parser syntax. This makes `jobs -p %n` work, which can be used
as part of the job control command chain, i.e.
```
cat &
fg (jobs -p %1)
```
fg/bg/wait can either be wrapped in a function to call `jobs -p` for
`%n` arguments, or they can be updated to take `%n` arguments
themselves.
The order of this list does not need to be strictly maintained any
longer.
Benchmarked with `hyperfine` as follows, where `bench1` is the existing
approach of binary search and `bench2` is the new unordered_set code,
(executed under bash because fish would always return non-zero). The
benchmark code checks each argv to see if it is a builtin keyword (both
return the same result):
```
hyperfine './bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)' './bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)'
Benchmark #1: ./bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)
Time (mean ± σ): 68.4 ms ± 3.0 ms [User: 28.8 ms, System: 38.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 60.4 ms … 75.4 ms
Benchmark #2: ./bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)
Time (mean ± σ): 61.4 ms ± 2.3 ms [User: 23.1 ms, System: 39.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 58.1 ms … 67.1 ms
Summary
'./bench2 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)' ran
1.11x faster than './bench1 $(shuf /usr/share/dict/words)'
```
Prior to this fix, the fish universal variables file claimed that
changes to it would be overwritten. This no longer true and has not
been true for a long time. Remove that warning.
This switches the universal variables file from a machine-specific
name to the fixed '.config/fish/fish_universal_variables'. The old file
name is migrated if necessary.
Fixes#1912
This removes the caret as a shorthand for redirecting stderr.
Note that stderr may be redirected to a file via 2>/some/path...
and may be redirected with a pipe via 2>|.
Fixes#4394
The previous commit caused the tests to fail since env_remove() was
returning a blanket `!0` when a variable couldn't be unset because it
didn't exist in the first place. This caused the wrong message to be
emitted since the code clashed with a return code for `env_set()`.
Added `ENV_NOT_FOUND` to signify that the variable requested unset
didn't exist in the first place, but _not_ printing the error message
currently so as not to break existing behavior before checking if this
is something we want.
Variables set in if and while conditions are in the enclosing block, not
the if/while statement block. For example:
if set -l var (somecommand) ; end
echo $var
will now work as expected.
Fixes#4820. Fixes#1212.
Currently, there are two possibilities for holes in the background:
- When there are two candidates with the same meaning (a long and a
short option or two candidates with the same description)
- When a candidate does not have a description (meaning the color
won't continue after it)
This changes both so the background just goes on.
In addition, it avoids making the background multiple times.
Fixes#4866.
The official fish documentation makes no mention of how `string split`
treats empty tokens, e.g. splitting 'key1##key2' on '#' or (more
confusingly) splitting '/path' on '/'. With this commit, `string split`
now has an option to exclude zero-length substrings from the resulting
array with a new `--no-empty/-n`. The default behavior of preserving
empty entries is kept so as to avoid breakage.
The two unicode glyphs used to represent missing new lines and redacted
characters for secure entry are both not present in the glyph tables of
the default font under Windows (Consolas and Lucida Console), use an
alternative glyph instead.
The "return" symbol is replaced with a pilcrow (¶) and the "redacted
character" symbol is replaced with a bullet (•). Both of these are
well-defined in almost all fonts as they're very old symbols. This
change only takes place if -DWSL is supplied by the build toolchain.
Note: this means a Windows SSH client connecting to a fish remote
instance on a non-Windows machine will still use the (unavailable)
default glyphs instead.
The newly added `:` command is implemented as a function (to avoid
increasing complexity by making it a builtin), but it is saved to a path
that does not match its filename (since its name is somewhat of a
special character that might cause problems during installation).
Directly probing the `colon` function for autoload causes `:` to be
correctly loaded, so doing just that after function paths are loaded
upon startup.
This is a hack since the CPP code shouldn't really be aware of
individual functions, perhaps there is a better way of doing this.
Fixes an issue introduced in 4414d5c888
where functions loaded from custom directories are not detected as being
valid for purposes of determining whether or not completions should be
called.
Work around #4810 by retrieving localizations at runtime to avoid issues
possibly caused by inserting into the static unordered_map during static
initialization.
Closes#810.
Line continuations (i.e. escaped new lines) now make sense again. With
the smart pipe support (pipes continue on to next line) recently added,
this hack to have continuations ignore comments makes no sense.
This is valid code:
```fish
echo hello |
# comment here
tr -d 'l'
```
this isn't:
```fish
echo hello | \
# comment here
tr -d 'l'
```
Reverts @snnw's 318daaffb2Closes#2928. Closes#2929.
From the discussion in #3802, handling spaces within braces more
gracefully. Leading and trailing whitespace that isn't quoted or escaped
is stripped, whitespace in the middle is preserved. Any whitespace
encountered within expansion tokens is treated as a single space,
similar to how programming languages that don't hard break tokens/quotes
on line endings would.
The value is not electrified or tied and is read-only. It isn't cached
in the get_hostname_identifier() function as the ENV_GLOBAL $hostname
will cache it for its duration.
The behavior of `gethostname` in case of an insufficient buffer is
library and version dependent. Work around this by using a big enough
buffer then truncating the output to our desired max length.
The 0th index of the array was tested inside the loop instead of just
once outside it.
Also explain `input_mapping_is_match` control code behavior and
reasoning and simplify control flow.
Drops the % notation for process expansion. The existing notation was a
mess and expanded jobs, process ids, and process names via dark magic.
With this change, % is no longer a special character and can be used
unescaped with impunity.
The variables %self and %last, referring to fish's own pid and the pid
of the last backgrounded job respectively, have been replaced with $pid
and $last_pid. These are read-only variables, protected against being
redefined by the user.
Author's note: I would have personally preferred $fish_pid instead of
$pid but since we debated changing $version to $fish_version and then
reverted that change (with much acrimony), it makes no sense to break
with that precedent here. Additionally, $fish_last_pid is quite wordy.
Closes#4230. Closes#1202.
When number is infinite, not a number, larger than LONG_MAX or smaller
than LONG_MIN, print a corresponding error and return STATUS_CMD_ERROR.
This should fix the worst of the problems, by at least making them clear.
Fixes#4479.
Fixes#4768.
This allows prompts to react to $COLUMNS by e.g. omitting some parts.
We still fallback to a ">" prompt if that's still not short enough,
but now the user has a way of making a nicer prompt.
Fixes#904.
Fixes#4381.
If the head is not a valid, existent command, do not load and run custom
completion sources. This applies to both the autosuggestion provider and
manual user completions. File-based completions will still be offered.
Supersedes #4782 and #4783. Closes#4783. Closes#4782. Closes#2365.
This promotes "and" and "or" from a type of statement to "job
decorators," as a possible prefix on a job. The point is to rationalize
how they interact with && and ||.
In the new world 'and' and 'or' apply to a entire job conjunction, i.e.
they have "lower precedence." Example:
if [ $age -ge 0 ] && [ $age -le 18 ]
or [ $age -ge 75 ] && [ $age -le 100 ]
echo "Child or senior"
end
This should speed things up on slower PCs given that the vast majority
of shell commands are simple jobs consisting of a single command without
any pipelines, in which case there's no need for a keepalive process at
all. Applies to WSL only.
As a temporary workaround for the behavior described in
Microsoft/WSL#2997 wherein WSL does not correctly assign the spawned
child its own PID as its PGID, explicitly set the PGID for the newly
spawned process.
This now reports "TOO_MANY_ARGS" instead of no error (and triggering
an assertion).
We might want to add a new error type or report the missing operator
before, but this is okay for now.
This turns a bunch of ifs on their heads.
We often see this pattern in te:
```c
if (s->type != SOME_TYPE) {
// error handling
} else {
// normal code
}
```
Only, since we want to return the first error, we do
```c
if (s->type == SOME_TYPE) {
// normal code
} else if (s->type != TOK_ERROR) {
// Add a new error - if it already has type error
// this should already be handled.
}
```
One big issue is the comma operator, that means arity-1 functions can
take an arbitrary number of arguments. E.g.
```fish
math "sin(5,9)"
```
will return the value of sin for _9_, since this is read as "5 COMMA
9".
This enables some limited use of arguments for wrapping completions. The
simplest example is that complete gco -w 'git checkout' now works like
you would want: `gco <tab>` now invokes git's completions with the
`checkout` argument prepended.
Fixes#1976
Previously, in
ls ^a bcd
(with "^" as the cursor), kill-word would delete the "a" and then go
on, remove the space and the "bcd".
With this, it will only kill the "a".
Fixes#4747.
This is part of an effort to improve fish's Unicode handling. This commit
attempts to grapple with the fact that, certain characters (principally
emoji) were considered to have a wcwidth of 1 in Unicode 8, but a width of
2 in Unicode 9.
The system wcwidth() here cannot be trusted; terminal emulators do not
respect it. iTerm2 even allows this to be set in preferences.
This commit introduces a new function is_width_2_in_Uni9_but_1_in_Uni8() to
detect characters of version-ambiguous width. For these characters, it
returns a width guessed based on the value of TERM_PROGRAM and
TERM_VERSION, defaulting to 1. This value can be overridden by setting the
value of a new variable fish_emoji_width (presumably either to 1 or 2).
Fixes#4539, #2652.
`argparse`, `read`, `set`, `status`, `test` and `[` now can't be used
as function names anymore.
This is because (except for `test` and `[`) there is no way to wrap these properly, so any
function called that will be broken anyway.
For `test` (and `[`), there is nothing that can be added and there
have been confused users who created a function that then broke
everything.
Fixes#3000.
Prior to this fix, each redirection type was a separate token_type.
Unify these under a single type TOK_REDIRECT and break the redirection
type out into a new sub-type redirection_type_t.
Prior to this the tokenizer ran "one ahead", where tokenizer_t::next()
would in fact return the last-parsed token. Switch to parsing on demand
instead of running one ahead; this is simpler and prepares for tokenizer
changes.
Turns out the process-exit is only ever used in conjunction with
`%self`. Make that explicit by just adding a new "fish_exit" event,
and deprecate the general process-exit machinery.
Fixes#4700.
The previous attempt to support newlines after pipes changed the lexer to
swallow newlines after encountering a pipe. This has two problems that are
difficult to fix:
1. comments cannot be placed after the pipe
2. fish_indent won't know about the newlines, so it will erase them
Address these problems by removing the lexer behavior, and replacing it
with a new parser symbol "optional_newlines" allowing the newlines to be
reflected directly in the fish grammar.
