This cleans up the path_get_path function which is used to resolve a
command name against $PATH, by removing the dependence on errno and
being explicit about which error is returned.
Should be no user-visible change here.
This was already apparently supposed to work, but didn't because we
just overrode errno again.
This now means that, if a correctly named candidate exists, we don't
start the command-not-found handler.
See #8804
- Introduce BUILTIN_ERR_COMBO2_EXCLUSIVE
- Distill generally more terse, unambiguous error descriptions.
Remember English is not everyone's language.
- Do not capitalize sentence fragments
- Use the modality where problem input is in a %s: prefix, then
is explained.
- Do not address the user (the "You cannot do ..." kraderism)
- Spell out 'arguments' rather than 'args' for consistency
- Mention 'function' as a scope
In rare cases this may cause the universal variable file to drop
an update, if two happen at the same time and HOME is on an nfs mount.
But this is considered better than hanging if nfs is lockless.
Fixes#7968.
This avoids using locks for the history file if the file appears to be on
a remote file system, like NFS. This is to avoid hangs if the filesystem
does not support locking.
If locking is not enabled, then in rare cases, history items may be
dropped if multiple sessions try to write to the history file at once.
This is thought to be better than hanging. Hopefully the recent change to
require a trailing newline will avoid propagating partial items.
cd: Just try to cd without checking first
Some filesystems are broken and error out on `stat(3)` of existing and
cd-able directories.
So we just try to `fchdir` and report errors later.
Fixes#7577.
This seems like a good idea, but there isn't anything we or anyone
else can *do* in this case. All we ever do is pile on additional
errors on the ignore pile, we can't handle any of them differently.
The command isn't a thing, so we check the next path.
The impetus for this is Cygwin apparently returning a wonderfully
useless 0, and it's not even the first one to do so.
Fixes#7785
This has one functional difference, in that we now report non-EACCESS
errors even for relative paths. I consider that to be a plus.
Some other sites might benefit from this, let's look into that later.
I kinda hate how fussy clang-format is. It reflows text
constantly (line limit), forces things onto one line *except* when
they're too long, and wants to turn this:
```c++
return true;;
```
into this:
```c++
return true;
;
```
instead of, you know, eliminating the second semicolon?
Anyway, it is what it is and we use it, I'll just look into getting some
more slack.
This cuts down on the wcs2string here by ~25%.
The better solution would be to cache narrow versions of $PATH, since
we compute that over and over and over and over again, while it rarely changes.
Or we could add a full path-cache (where which command is), but that's
much harder to invalidate.
See #5905.
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.
If the user is in a directory which has been unlinked, it is possible
for the path .. to not exist, relative to the working directory.
Always pass in the working directory (potentially virtual) to
path_get_cdpath; this ensures we check absolute paths and are immune
from issues if the working directory has been unlinked.
Also introduce a new function path_normalize_for_cd which normalizes the
"join point" of a path and a working directory. This allows us to 'cd' out of
a non-existent directory, but not cd into such a directory.
Fixes#5341
* Debug level 3: describe all commands being executed (this is, after all,
a shell and one can argue that this is the most important debug
information avaliable)
* Debug level 4: details of execution, mainly fork vs no-fork and io
handling
Also introduced j->preview() to print a short descriptor of the job
based on the head of the first process so we don't overwhelm with
needless repitition, but also so that we don't have to rely on
distinguishing between repeated, non-unique/non-monotonic job ids that
are often recycled within a single "execution cycle" (pressing enter
once).
