This cleans up the path_get_path function which is used to resolve a
command name against $PATH, by removing the dependence on errno and
being explicit about which error is returned.
Should be no user-visible change here.
When cd is passed a broken symlink, this changes the error message from
"no such directory" to "broken symbolic link". This scenario probably
won't happen very often since completion won't suggest broken symlinks
but it can't hurt to give a good error.
Fish used to do this until 7ac5932. This logic used to be in
path_get_cdpath, however, that is only used for highlighting, so we
don't need error messages there. Changing cd is enough.
Reword from "rotten" to "broken" since that's what file(1) uses.
Clean-up leftovers from old "rotten" code (nomen est omen).
See #8264
In rare cases this may cause the universal variable file to drop
an update, if two happen at the same time and HOME is on an nfs mount.
But this is considered better than hanging if nfs is lockless.
Fixes#7968.
This avoids using locks for the history file if the file appears to be on
a remote file system, like NFS. This is to avoid hangs if the filesystem
does not support locking.
If locking is not enabled, then in rare cases, history items may be
dropped if multiple sessions try to write to the history file at once.
This is thought to be better than hanging. Hopefully the recent change to
require a trailing newline will avoid propagating partial items.
cd: Just try to cd without checking first
Some filesystems are broken and error out on `stat(3)` of existing and
cd-able directories.
So we just try to `fchdir` and report errors later.
Fixes#7577.
If the user is in a directory which has been unlinked, it is possible
for the path .. to not exist, relative to the working directory.
Always pass in the working directory (potentially virtual) to
path_get_cdpath; this ensures we check absolute paths and are immune
from issues if the working directory has been unlinked.
Also introduce a new function path_normalize_for_cd which normalizes the
"join point" of a path and a working directory. This allows us to 'cd' out of
a non-existent directory, but not cd into such a directory.
Fixes#5341
This is the first step to implementing issue #4200 is to stop subclassing
env_var_t from wcstring. Not too surprisingly doing this identified
several places that were incorrectly treating env_var_t and wcstring as
interchangeable types. I'm not talking about those places that passed
an env_var_t instance to a function that takes a wcstring. I'm talking
about doing things like assigning the former to the latter type, relying
on the implicit conversion, and thus losing information.
We also rename `env_get_string()` to `env_get()` for symmetry with
`env_set()` and to make it clear the function does not return a string.
Remove the "make iwyu" build target. Move the functionality into the
recently introduced lint.fish script. Fix a lot, but not all, of the
include-what-you-use errors. Specifically, it fixes all of the IWYU errors
on my OS X server but only removes some of them on my Ubuntu 14.04 server.
Fixes#2957
Add new functions path_get_data and path_create_data which parallel existing
functions path_get_config and path_create_data. The new functions refer to
XDG_DATA_HOME, if it is defined, or ./local/share if not.
Modify history_filename to use the new function path_get_data.
As a consequence, fish_history will now be located in XDG_DATA_HOME,
not XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
Note that these changes mirror what is already used in
fish-shell/share/tools/create_manpage_completions.py, which stores the
completions in XDG_DATA_HOME
This change matches recommendations in the xdg basedir spec at
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
($XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific data
files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default
equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used.)
It addresses suggestions from the following issues:
1. Don't put history in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (closes#744)
https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/744
2. Fish is placing non-config files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME #1257https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1257
3. Move non-config data out of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME #1669https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/1669
This change moves source files into a src/ directory,
and puts object files into an obj/ directory. The Makefile
and xcode project are updated accordingly.
Fixes#1866
