The psub tests create a fifo and launch a background job to write to it.
However fifos have this obnoxious behavior where opening the file blocks
until both sides are ready. In one of the tests we don't actually read
from the fifo we create, so the background job hangs, and the tests
never complete. Fix this by just reading from the fifo.
This was caused by it prepending "-s" to argv always,
and later checking $argv[1].
As it turns out, that is kinda superfluous, so we can just add "-s" to
the `bind` calls.
Also adjust the tests so the vi-bindings are enabled via the function,
which would have caught this.
Fixes#4494.
Prior to this fix, a "bare variable" in math like 'x + 1' would be
looked up in the environment, i.e. equivalent to '$x + 1'. This appears
to have been done for performance. However this breaks the orthogonality
of fish; performance is not a sufficient justification to give math this
level of built-in power, especially because the performance of math is
not a bottleneck. The implementation is also ugly.
Remove this feature so that variables must be prefixed with the dollar
sign and undergo normal variable expansion. Reading 'git grep' output
does not show any uses of this in fish functions or completions.
Also added to changelog.
Fixes#4393
Instead of treating the search term as a literal string to be matched
treat it as a glob. This allows the user to get a more useful set of
results by using the `*` glob character in the search term.
Partial fix for #3136
* Implement `history search --reverse`
It should be possible to have `history search` output ordered oldest to
newest like nearly every other shell including bash, ksh, zsh, and csh.
We can't make this the default because too many people expect the
current behavior. This simply makes it possible for people to define
their own abbreviations or functions that provide behavior they are
likely used to if they are transitioning to fish from another shell.
This also fixes a bug in the `history` function with respect to how it
handles the `-n` / `--max` flag.
Fixes#4354
* Fix comment for format_history_record()
* 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
cherry-picked from krader1961/fish-shell commit b69df4fe72
Fixes#4353 (regression in indexing of history contents) and introduces
new unit tests to catch bad $history indexing in the future.
Remove our `math` function that wraps `bc`. Our math builtin is now good
enough that it can be the default implementation.
Another step in resolving #3157.
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
Internally fish should store vars as a vector of elements. The current
flat string representation is a holdover from when the code was written
in C.
Fixes#4200
A semi-empty var is one with a single empty string element. The
`env_var_t::empty()` method returns true for such vars but we want
`set --show` to report that it has a single empty element.
This makes command substitutions impose the same limit on the amount
of data they accept as the `read` builtin. It does not limit output of
external commands or builtins in other contexts.
Fixes#3822
This adds a new capability to the `set` command. It is similar to
running `set` with no other arguments but provides far more detail about
each variable. Such as whether it is set in each of the local, global,
and universal scopes. And the values in each scope. You can also ask for
specific variables to be shown.
Fixes#4265
Rewrite the `abbr` function to store each abbreviation in a separate
variable. This greatly improves the efficiency. For the common case
it is 5x faster. For pathological cases it is upwards of 100x faster.
Most people should be able to unconditionally define abbreviations in
their config.fish without a noticable slow down.
Fixes#4048
This takes a string that is then split upon like `string split`.
Unlike $IFS, the string is used as one piece, not a set of characters.
There is still a fallback to IFS if no delimiter is given, that
behaves exactly as before.
Fixes#4156.
This completes the refactoring of the `set` builtin. It also removes a
seemingly never used feature of the `set` command. It also eliminates all
the lint warnings about this module.
Fixes#4236
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
The recent change to switch `psub` to use `argparse` caused it to use
a fifo by default because it inadvertently fixed a long standing bug in
the fish script. This changes the behavior back to `psub --file` being
the default behavior and introduces a `--fifo` flag. It also updates the
documentation to make it clearer when and why `--fifo` mode should not
be used.
Fixes#4222
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`.
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.
The previous change to use `argparse` for parity with every other
builtin and function introduced a regression. Invocations that start
with a negative number can fail because the negative value looks like an
invalid flag.
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
This implements a `fish_opt` command that provides a way for people
to create option specs for the `argparse` command as an alternative to
creating such strings by hand.
Fixes#4190
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
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
Because the 'getopt' library differs between systems, it's likely
that there will be different output. This is the case between the
GNU-based Linux and the BSD-based Darwin, for the 'getopt' library,
it seems. It causes the tests to produce different results.
To allow us to test, and check for regressions, on the different
platforms, the invocation code has been updated to allow a
system-specific suffix to be used on the test files. If this suffix
is found, the test will also be flagged as being system-specific
which should ensure the change in behaviour is noted.
The Travis macOS test systems do not appear to have colordiff present, so any
failures would mean that no output would be shown. This may also be a
problem for the other test scripts as well, but the invocation tests are
the ones being affected here.
We change our behaviour to downgrade to the plain diff tool if colordiff is
not present.
The invocation tests were not especially clear on how they should be
used, without reading the code. And who really wants to do that? So,
a description of what the test does (and thus what each file is) is
now present in the file prologue comment.
Some more of the invocations are tested in this change:
- bad switches
- errors in configuration files
- regular command, configuration and init command ordering
- persistence of variables over command invocation.
- interactive and login switch use
- terminal exit code return
- version request
There are sure to be other invocations that should be tested, but
these give a fair number of them a go.
The new '-C' initial command needs some tests, and as there are no
tests just yet for the command invocation, this change adds a harness
and calls it from the high-level tests in the Makefile.
The tests are similar in style to the other high level tests, in that
we capture the output and compare it to that which we expect. The
harness itself is written in bash - sorry - because we're testing the
fish shell's invocation, and trying to do that with the fish we've
just built wouldn't actually make for a very useful test when things
go wrong.
The 'tests/invocation.sh' script can be executed manually, or as part
of the 'make test' target, to make it easy to use both as part of the
development and as part of automation.
The harness has only been tested on linux with bash 4.3.11, and requires
grep and sed. Although not tested with OS X, I believe I have avoided
the syntax which is inconsistent.
The tests added here cover just the initial command's basic execution,
and when it is mixed with the regular '-c' command.
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
This just removes every invalid index.
That means with `set foo a b c` and the "show" function from tests/expand.in:
- `show $foo[-5..-1]` prints "3 a b c"
- `show $foo[-10..1]` prints "1 a"
- `show $foo[2..5]` prints "2 b c"
- `show $foo[1 3 7 2]` prints "3 a c b"
and similar for command substitutions.
Fixes#826.
This implements `status is-breakpoint` that returns true if the current
shell prompt is displayed in the context of a `breakpoint` command.
This also fixes several bugs. Most notably making `breakpoint` a no-op if
the shell isn't interactive. Also, typing `breakpoint` at an interactive
prompt should be an error rather than creating a new nested debugging
context.
Partial fix for #1310
This changes all of the builtins to behave like `string` to return
STATUS_INVALID_ARGS (121) if the args passed to the command don't make
sense. Also change several of the builtins to use the existing symbols
(e.g., STATUS_CMD_OK and STATUS_CMD_ERROR) rather than hardcoded "0"
and "1" for consistency and to make it easier to find such values in
the future.
Fixes#3985
Per discussion in PR#3998 to review adding a `--filter` flag to `string
replace` rename the same flag in the `string match` subcommand to avoid
confusion about the meaning of the flag.
Discussion in issue #3295 resulted in a decisions to rename the
functions --metadata flag to --details.
This also fixes a bug in the definition of the short flags for the
`functions` command. The `-e` flag does not take an argument and
therefore should not be defined as `e:`. Notice that the long form,
`--erase`, specifies `no_argument`. This discrepency happened to work
due to a quirk of how the flag parsing loop was written.
