This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.
Closes#6048
Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.

Consider a group of short options, like -xzPARAM, where x and z are options and z takes an argument.
This commit enables completion of the argument to the last option (z), both within the same
token (-xzP) or in the next one (-xz P).
complete -C'-xz' will complete only parameters to z.
complete -C'-xz ' will complete only parameters to z if z requires a parameter
otherwise, it will also complete non-option parameters
To do so this implements a heuristic to differentiate such strings from single long options. To
detect whether our token contains some short options, we only require the first character after the
dash (here x) to be an option. Previously, all characters had to be short options. The last option
in our example is z. Everything after the last option is assumed to be a parameter to the last
option.
Assume there is also a single long option -x-foo, then complete -C'-x' will suggest both -x-foo and
-xy. However, when the single option x requires an argument, this will not suggest -x-foo.
However, I assume this will almost never happen in practise since completions very rarely mix
short and single long options.
Fixes#332
we now print --long options for ones I arbitrarily decided
are less likely to be remembered.
Also fixed the `--wraps` items at the end not being escaped
Most of our completion scripts are written using the short options
anyhow, and this makes it less likely the output will span several
lines per command
Fish completes parts of words split by the separators, so things like
`dd if=/dev/sd<TAB>` work.
This commit improves interactive completion if completion strings legitimately
contain '=' or ':'. Consider this example where completion will suggest
a🅰️1 and other files in the cwd in addition to a:1
touch a:1; complete -C'ls a:'
This behavior remains unchanged, but this commit allows to quote or escape
separators, so that e.g. `ls "a:<TAB>` and `ls a\:<TAB>` successfully complete
the filename.
This also makes the completion insert those escapes automatically unless
already quoted.
So `ls a<TAB>` will give `ls a\:1`.
Both changes match bash's behavior.
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to react if a local fish_complete_path
or fish_function_path were set. However this has never been very well tested
and will become impossible with concurrent execution. Always use the global
values.
We used to have a global notion of "is the shell interactive" but soon we
will want to have multiple independent execution threads, only some of
which may be interactive. Start tracking this data per-parser.
This runs build_tools/style.fish, which runs clang-format on C++, fish_indent on fish and (new) black on python.
If anything is wrong with the formatting, we should fix the tools, but automated formatting is worth it.
autoloading has a "feature" where functions are removed in an LRU-fashion.
But there's hardly any benefit in removing autoloaded functions. Just stop
doing it.
I did not realize builtins could safely call into the parser and inject
jobs during execution. This is much cleaner than hacking around the
required shape of a plain_statement.
`eval` has always been implemented as a function, which was always a bit
of a hack that caused some issues such as triggering the creation of a
new scope. This turns `eval` into a decorator.
The scoping issues with eval prevented it from being usable to actually
implement other shell components in fish script, such as the problems
described in #4442, which should now no longer be the case.
Closes#4443.
While `eval` is still a function, this paves the way for changing that
in the future, and lets the proc/exec functions detect when an eval is
used to allow/disallow certain behaviors and optimizations.
Mostly related to usage _(L"foo"), keeping in mind the _
macro does a wcstring().c_str() already.
And a smattering of other trivial micro-optimizations certain
to not help tangibly.
This requires threading environment_t through many places, such as completions
and history. We introduce null_environment_t for when the environment isn't
important.
@ridiculousfish had introduced this in 3a45cad12e
to work around an issue with Coverity Scan where it couldn't tell the
mutex was correctly locked, but even with the `fish_mutex_t` hack, it
still emits the same warnings, so there's no pointing in keeping it.
Our completion machinery calls our `__fish_describe_command` function
to describe commands via apropos. Only it trusts the output a bit too
much, so it crashes when any line from that is shorter than the
original string.
Fix this by skipping any string that is shorter than the original,
since it can't be a match anyway.
Also stop doing wcslen so often - std::strings are nice!
Fixes#5014.
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.
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.
