It may happen that the user types an abbreviation and then hits return.
Prior to this commit, we would perform a form of syntax highlighting
that does not require I/O, so as to not block the user. However this
could cause invalid commands to be colored as valid.
More generally if the user has e.g a slow NFS mount, then syntax
highlighting may lag behind the user's typing, and be incorrect at the
time the user hits return. This is an unavoidable race, since proper
syntax highlighting may take arbitrarily long.
Introduce a new function `finish_highlighting_before_exec`, which waits
for any outstanding syntax highlighting to complete, BUT has a timeout
(250 milliseconds). After this, it falls back to the no-I/O variant, which
colors all commands as valid and nothing as paths.

In some cases the completion we come up with may be unexpected, e.g.
if you have files like
/etc/realfile
and
/etc/wrongfile
and enter "/etc/gile", it will accept "wrongfile" because "g" and
"ile" are in there - it's a substring insertion match.
The underlying cause was a typo, so it should be easy to go back.
So we do a bit of magic and let "cancel" undo, but only right after a
completion was accepted via complete or complete-and-search.
That means that just reflexively pressing escape would, by default, get you back to
the old token and let you fix your mistake.
We don't do this when the completion was accepted via the pager,
because 1. there's more of a chance to see the problem there and 2.
it's harder to redo in that case.
Fixes#7433.
This was typically overridden by "too many/few arguments", but it's
actually incorrect:
sin(55
has the correct number of arguments to `sin`, but it's lacking
the closing `)`.
fish_user_paths is a fish-specific variable that can be persisted by
making it a universal variable or by making it a global variable set at
startup in `config.fish`.
Since it is not defined in a clean installation, a user could
inadvertently create it as `set -Ux fish_user_paths ....` the first
time, creating a horrible, ugly, self-loathing mess that will have you
chasing ghosts and bisecting for naught once fish re-imports
fish_user_paths as a *global* variable that shadows the universal one.
While that is true for any universal variable that is re-imported as a
global variable, only fish_user_paths has the potential to really screw
things up because we also re-export PATH based off of its value in turn.
This fixes up the SIGIO notifier in preparation for using it on BSD. It
removes the reliance on the signal's si_code, which is not available in
BSD, and it properly handles the BSD behavior where SIGIO is delivered on
a read even if the read returns EAGAIN.
Fix an error caused by `exec_job()` assuming a job launched with the
intention of being backgrounded would have a pgid assigned in all cases,
without considering the status of `exec_error` which could have resulted
in the job failing before it was launched into its own process group.
Fixes (but doesn't close) #7423 - that can be closed if this assertion
failure doesn't happen in any released fish versions.
It is apparently possible to launch fish such that its pid owns the tty,
but its pid is in a different pgroup. In that case, do not attempt to stop
with SIGTTIN; instead simply attempt to place fish in its own pgroup.
Fixes#7388
`complete_param_expand` knows how to handle cases like `foo=br` so we
don't need to bother sending just the `br` part. Furthermore, sending
just `br` is incorrect because we will end up replacing the entirety of
`foo=br` with the result of the completion. That is, `foo=br` will be
replaced with `bar` instead of being completed to `foo=bar`.
This switch is no longer necessary when only one command is given.
Internally completions are stored separately for each command,
so we only every print one command name per "complete" line anyway.
On WSL1, fcntl(F_SETOWN) will fail and this would report an error.
Suppress this error message since it is not very interesting.
The effect is to disable real-time universal variable propagation.
Introduce a new strategy for notifying other fish processes of universal
variable changes, as a planned replacement for the complex
strategy_named_pipe. The new strategy still uses a named pipe, but instead
of select() on it, it arranges for SIGIO to be delivered when data is
available. If a SIGIO has been seen since the last check, it means the file
needs to be re-read.
When expanding a string, you may or may not want to generate
descriptions alongside the expanded string. Usually you don't want to
but descriptions were opt out. This commit makes them opt in.
If the padding is not divisible by the char's width without remainder,
we pad the remainder with spaces, so the total width of the output is correct.
Also add completions, changelog entry, adjust documentation, add examples
with emoji and some tests. Apply some minor style nitpicks and avoid extra
allocations of the input strings.
Improves on #7328.
I believe this is the correct behavior, simply skip all whitespace before
a word. Try with
./fish -C 'bind \ef forward-bigword; bind \eb backward-bigword; bind \ed kill-bigword; bind \cw backward-kill-bigword'
Also unrelated formatting fixes. I don't think a CI failure on unformatted
code is warranted but I wish it could do that behind the scenes.
For example "grep --color"<TAB> can complete to "grep --color=". Don't add
a space in this case; we do the same for arguments that end in =.
In GNU-style getopt, equal sign means that the flag has an argument. Without
the = it would not consume the next argument as opposed to Python's argparse.
This was a weird special behavior where we'd put the commandline on a
new line if it wrapped *and* the prompt was > 33% of the screen.
It seems to be more confusing than anything.
Fixes#5118.
Prior to this change, tab completing with a variable assignment like
`VAR=val cmd<tab>` would parse out and apply VAR=val, then recursively
invoke completions. This caused some awkwardness around the wrap chain -
if a wrapped command had a variable completion we risked infinite
recursion. A secondary problem is that we would run any command
substitutions inside variable assignment, which the user does not expect
to run until pressing enter.
With this change, we explicitly track variable assignments encountered
during tab completion, including both those explicitly given on the
command line and those found during wrap chain walk. We then apply them
while suppressing command substitutions.
In preparation for applying variable assignments (VAR=VAL cmd), separate
them out from the command when performing completions. This includes both
those that the user typed, and any that come about through
completion --wraps.
When completing and walking a wrap chain, we pass around a lot of
information. Factor this together into a new struct custom_arg_data_t
which reduces the number of parameters needed.
The "wrap chain" refers to a sequence of commands which wrap other
commands, for completion purposes. One possibility is that a wrap chain
will produce a combinatorial explosion or even an infinite loop, so there
needs to be logic to prevent that. Part of that logic is encapsulated in a
visited set (wrap_chain_visited_set_t) to prevent exploring the same item
twice.
Prior to this change, we stored pairs (command, wrapped_command). But we
only really need to store the wrapped command. Switch to that.
One consequence is that if a command wraps another command in more than
one way, we won't explore both ways. This seems unlikely in practice.
Detect recursive calls to builtin complete and the internal completion in
the same place.
In 0a0149cc2 (Prevent infinite recursion when completion wraps variable assignment)
we don't print an error when completing certain aliases like:
alias vim "A=B vim"
But we also gave no completions.
We could make this case work, but I think that trying to salvage situations
like this one is way too complex. Instead, let the user know by printing an
error. Not sure if the style of the error fits.
We could add some heuristic to alias to not add --wraps in some cyclic cases.
The lambda has grown way too big, and it was not easy to see what the inputs
and outputs are. We always use the same visitor, so the function parameter
is not necessary.
This reads any additional positional arguments given to `fish -c` into
$argv.
We don't handle the first argument specially (as `$0`) as that's confusing and
doesn't seem very useful.
Fixes#2314.
This allows
bind -k backspace suppress-autosuggestion or backward-delete-char
To remove the suggestion on the first press and then delete
chars.
Note: This requires that we then don't reenable suggestions
immediately afterwards. Currently we don't after deletion.
Fixes#1419.
This makes history searches case-insensitive, unless the search string
contains an uppercase character.
This is what vim calls "smartcase".
Fixes#7273.
Closes#7344
Apply a targeted fix to the place where complete() is called to handle nested
variable assignments. Sadly, reporting an error is probably not okay here,
because people might legitimately use aliases like:
alias vim "A=B command vim"
This is all a bit ugly, and I hope to find a cleaner solution. Supporting
completions on commandlines like `x=$PWD cd $x/ ` is a nice feature but it
comes with some complexity.
This is too important to not be one.
For one if it couldn't be loaded for any reason it would
break a lot of fish scripts.
Also this is faster by ~20x.
Fixes#7342
4f0ade7a73 broke the tests when LANG was
C, so the MB_CUR_MAX==1 path wasn't working.
Seemingly that cast is doing some work here?
Just revert that bit for now, since this path is unimportant
anyway (please, please, please, please use a unicode capable locale).
This is a reimplementation of the "vectorized" ASCII detection
from str2wcs_internal. This handles the case where only part of
a string is ASCII. It also avoids pointer overflow issues and improves
commenting.
Prior to this change, str2wcs_internal had an optimization for ASCII
inputs. However the main cost was the repeated bounds checks when
performing push_back() on the resulting wcstring.
Switch to determining the number of ASCII characters, and then appending
those all in one go. This improves the time in the 'convert_ascii' test
from ~450 usec to ~75 usec.
When pressing tab repeatedly, completions only computed on the first one. This
is because the old logic assumed that completions are present if the last
key was tab. Recompute them if there are no completions at all.
Fixes#6863
Since builtins don't actually have the streams connected, but instead
read input via the io_streams_t objects, this would just always say
what *fish's* fds were.
Instead, pass along some of the stream data to check those
specifically - nobody cares that `test`s fd 0 *technically* is stdin.
What they want to know is that, if they used another program in that
place, it would connect to the TTY.
This is pretty hacky - I abused static variables for this, but
since it's two bools and an int it's probably okay.
See #1228.
Fixes#4766.
(regression from d415350aaf)
This is important especially in e.g. the new Windows Terminal, because
for some reason that lets the tab stick around if the process exited
with a non-zero status.
Will add tests as soon as I figure out how.
Taken from GNU realpath, this one makes realpath not resolve symlinks.
It still makes paths absolute and handles duplicate and trailing
slashes.
(useful in fish_add_path)
With a commandline like
```
a b c d
```
and the cursor at the beginning, this would eat "a b", which isn't a
sensible bigword.
Bigword should be "a word, with optional leading whitespace".
This was caused by an overly zealous state-machine that always ate one
char and only *then* started eating leading whitespace.
Instead eat *a character*, and if it was whitespace go on eating
whitespace, and if it was a printable go straight to only eating
printables.
Fixes#7325.
This can easily lead to an infinite loop, if a variable handler
triggers a repaint and the variable is set in the prompt, e.g. some of
the git variables.
A simple way to reproduce:
function fish_mode_prompt
commandline -f repaint
end
Repainting executes the mode prompt, which triggers a repaint, which
triggers the mode prompt, ....
So we just set a flag and check it.
Fixes#7324.
Currently, completions have to be specified like
```fish
complete -c foo -l opt
```
while
```fish
complete foo -l opt
```
just complains about there being too many arguments.
That's kinda useless, so we just assume if there is one left-over
argument that it's meant to be the command.
Theoretically we could also use *all* the arguments as commands to
complete, but that seems unlikely to be what the user wants.
(I don't think multi-command completions really happen)
Currently only `complete` will list completions, and it will list all
of them.
That's a bit ridiculous, especially since `complete -c foo` just does nothing.
So just make `complete -c foo` list all the completions for `foo`.
Found with gcc's -Wmissing-declarations which gives warnings like
../src/tinyexpr.cpp:61:5: warning: no previous declaration for ‘int get_arity(int)’ [-Wmissing-declarations]
61 | int get_arity(const int type) {
The same warnings show up for builtin functions like builtin_bg because they
currently don't include their own headers. I left that.
Also reformat the touched files.
So we can do something on every edit, for example repaint the pager (#7318).
This patch fixes pager refiltering and repainting when pressing Control+U
after typing something in the search field.
Implement this by moving the convenience functions from editable_line_t to
the reader, so we have fewer places where we need to refilter. Essentially we
only have two cases: insertions at the cursor are handled by insert_string(),
and all others go through push_edit(). This should also make it clearer
where we update undo_history.may_coalesce.
This commit was on the history-search-edit-needle branch, so it should
work fine. I hope it does play well with some recent changes.
In 6d339df61 (Factor repainting decions from readline commands better
in the reader), insert_string() was simplified a lot, mirror that.
The tests for editable_line_t are not that useful anymore since the caller has
to decide whether to coalesce insertions, but I guess they don't hurt either.
We should have more tests for some interactive scenarios like undo and the
pager filtering.
