When reporting whether a boolean flag was seen report the actual flags
rather than a summary count. For example, if you have option spec `h/help`
and we parse `-h --help -h` don't do the equivalent of `set _flag_h 3`
do `set _flag_h -h --help -h`.
Partial fix for #4226
In the rare case that we don't inherit $HOME _and_ can't read it from
/etc/passwd, this makes it so instead of triggering an assert() $HOME
is set to the empty list.
Tilde-expansion expands to nothing in such a case (and a string-empty
$HOME), `cd` errors out.
Fixes#4229.
Fish 2.6.0 introduced a regression that keeps setting
`fish_escape_delay_ms` as a uvar from working. This also fixes a related
problem: callbacks generated from the initial loading of universal vars
were not being acted on.
Fixes#4196
Also stop special-casing `printf` as if it were a syntactical keyword
with respect to handling `printf --help`. It should use the same pattern
as every other builtin command.
The code for reporting parser errors needs a major overhaul. But rather
than do that I'm going to add another hack in the hope that this doesn't
introduce yet another problem.
Fixes#4221
While updating the `history` function to use `argparse` I realized it is
useful to define an option that can be used in three ways. First by
using the short flag; e.g., `-n NNN`. Second by using the long flag;
e.g., `--max NNN`. Third, as an implicit int flag; e.g., `-NNN`. This
use case is now supported by a spec of the form `n#max`.
This implements support for numeric flags without an associated short or
long flag name. This pattern is used by many commands. For example `head
-3 /a/file` to emit the first three lines of the file.
Fixes#4214
We've needed a fishy way to parse flags and arguments given to scripts
and functions for a very long time. In particular a manner that provides
the same behavior implemented by builtin commands. The long term goal is
to support DocOpt. But since it is unclear when that will happen so this
implements a `argparse` command. So named as homage to the excellent
Python module of the same name.
Fixes#4190
This fixes a stupid bug in my previous commit to standardize on a new
`list_to_array_val()` function. This adds a unit test to keep this from
regressing.
This is the first step in implementing a better abstraction for handling
fish script vars in the C++ code. It implements a new function (with two
signatures) to provide a standard method for construct the flag string
representation of a fish script array.
Partial fix for #4200
The count command should not treat any flag specially. Not even `-h` and
`--help`. It should simply return a count of the number of arguments it
received.
Fixes#4189
Completion strings, especially the description, might contain characters,
such as backspace, which make it impossible to calculate the width of
the string.
Fixes#4179
The `read` command `-m` and `--mode-name` vars are now deprecated and do
nothing other than result in a warning message. The `read` command now
honors the `FISH_HISTORY` var that is used to control where commands are
read from and written to. You can set that var to the empty string to
suppress the use of both history files. Or you can set it to a history
session ID in which case that will limit the `read` history that is
available.
Fixes#1504
Don't import the bash history if the user has specified that a non-default
fish history file should be used. Also, rename the var that specifies
the fish history session ID from `FISH_HISTFILE` to `FISH_HISTORY`.
Fixes#4172
Using the FISH_HISTFILE variable will let people customise the session
to use for the history file. The resulting history file is:
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/fish/name_history`
Where `name` is the name of the session. The default value is `fish`
which results in the current history file.
If it's set to an empty string, the history will not be stored to a
file.
Fixes#102
In order to allow the execution of commands before dropping to an
interactive prompt, a new switch, '-C' or '--init-command' has been
added to those switches that we accept.
The documentation has been updated correspondingly.
The original code only supported a single command list to be executed,
and this command list terminates the shell when it completes. To allow
the new command list to preceed the original one, both have been
wrapped in a new container class 'command_line_switches_t'. This is
then passed around in place of the list of strings we used previously.
I had considered moving the interactive, login and other command line
switch states into this container, but doing so would change far more
of the code, moving the structure to be available globally, and I
wasn't confident of the impact. However, this might be a useful thing
to do in the future.
A new function, run_command_list, was lifted from the prior execution
code, and re-used for both the initial command and the regular command
execution.
We need a way to encode arbitrary strings into valid fish variable
names. It would also be nice if we could convert strings to valid URLs
without using the slow and hard to understand `__fish_urlencode` function.
In particular, eliminating the need to manipulate the locale.
Fixes#4150
