fish is designed to append to the history file in most cases. However
save_internal_via_appending was never returning success, so we were
always doing the slow rewrite path. Correctly return success.
Fixes#6042
It appears Gcc 4.8 doesn't get this particular expression, so we just
revert to the old `type foo = bar` style from the new `type foo{bar}`.
Fixes#6027.
Meaning empty variables, command substitutions that don't print
anything.
A switch without an argument
```fish
switch
case ...
end
```
is still a syntax error, and more than one argument is still a runtime
error.
The none-argument matches either an empty-string `case ''` or a
catch-all `case '*'`.
Fixes#5677.
Fixes#4943.
Previously when propagating explicitly separated output, we would early-out
if the buffer was empty, where empty meant contains no characters. However
it may contain one or more empty strings, in which case we should propagate
those strings.
Remove this footgun "empty" function and handle this properly.
Fixes#5987
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.
Soon we will have more complicated logic around whether to call tcsetpgrp.
Prepare to centralize the logic by passing in the new term owner pgrp,
instead of having child_setup_process perform the decision.
This exitted if the cursor was at the end of the line as well (i.e. if
delete-char failed). That's a bit too eager.
Also documentation, which should have already been included.
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.
history now often writes to the history file asynchronously, but the history
test expects to find the text in the file immediately after running the
command. Hack a bit in history to make this test more reliable.
Prior to this diff, fish had different signal handling functions for
different signals. However it was hard to coordinate when a signal needed
to be the default handler, and when it was custom. In #5962 we overwrote
fish's custom WINCH handler with the default_handler when fish script asked
for WINCH to be handled.
Just have a single big signal handler function. That way it can never be
set to the wrong thing.
Fixes#5969
When executing a job, if the first process is fish internal, then have
fish claim the job's pgroup.
The idea here is that the terminal must be owned by a pgroup containing
the process reading from the terminal. If the first process is fish
internal (a function or builtin) then the pgroup must contain the fish
process.
This is a bit of a workaround of the behavior where the first process that
executes in a job becomes the process group leader. If there's a deferred
process, then we will execute processes out of order so the pgroup can be
wrong. Fix this by setting the process group leader explicitly as fish
when necessary.
Fixes#5855
Especially as, in this case, the documentation is quite massive.
Caught by porting string's test to littlecheck.
See #3404 - this was already supposed to be included.
25afc9b377 made this unnecessary by
having child processes wait for a signal after fork(), but this change
was later reverted. If we artificially slow down fish (e.g. with a sleep)
after the fork call, we see commands getting backgrounded by mistake.
Put back the tcsetgrp() call.
* Prevent not-yet-loaded functions from loaded when erased
Today, `functions --erase $function` does nothing if the function
hasn't been autoloaded yet.
E.g. run, in an interactive session
> functions --erase ls
> type ls
and be amazed that it still shows our default `ls --color=auto`
wrapper function.
This seems counter-intuitive - removing a function ought to remove it,
whether it had been executed before or not.

Instead of requiring a flag to enable newline trimming, invert it so the
flag (now `--no-trim-newlines`) disables newline trimming. This way our
default behavior matches that of sh's `"$(cmd)"`.
Also change newline trimming to trim all newlines instead of just one,
again to match sh's behavior.
The `string collect` subcommand behaves quite similarly in practice to
`string split0 -m 0` in that it doesn't split its output, but it also
takes an optional `--trim-newline` flag to trim a single trailing
newline off of the output.
See issue #159.
It's always a bit annoying that `*` requires quoting.
So we allow "x" as an alternative, only it needs to be followed by
whitespace to distinguish it from "0x" hexadecimal notation.
To support distinct parsers having different working directories, we need
to keep the working directory alive, and also retain a non-path reference
to it.
Because an exported universal variable must be exported in all variable
stacks, explicit invalidation is infeasible. Switch the universal variables
to a generation count.
Prior to this fix, fish would invalidate the exported variable list
whenever an exported variable changes. However we soon will not have a
single "exported variable list." If a global variable changes, it is
infeasible to find all exported variable lists and invalidate them.
Switch to a new model where we store a list of generation counts. Every
time an exported variable changes, the node gets a new generation. If the
current generation list does not match the cached one, then we know that
our exported variable list is stale.
This was undocumented, not all that useful and potentially unwanted.
In particular it means that things like
mysql -p(read)
will still keep the password in history.
Also it allows us to simply implement asking for the history deletion
term.
See #5791.
This makes the following changes:
1. Events in background threads are executed in those threads, instead of
being silently dropped
2. Blocked events are now per-parser instead of global
3. Events are posted in builtin_set instead of within the environment stack
The last one means that we no longer support event handlers for implicit
sets like (example) argv. Instead only the `set` builtin (and also `cd`)
post variable-change events.
Events from universal variable changes are still not fully rationalized.
