Under FreeBSD, as annoying as it is, switches must directly follow the
command or subcommand in question, and cannot come after actual payload
argument. Calling `zpool get all -H` instead of `zpool get -H all`
caused error messages to be spewed to the console under FreeBSD when
simply completing `zfs <TAB>`, this should fix that. The change should
also be compatible with other operating systems (namely Linux) that
don't have this requirement, as they (generally) allow arguments to come
before _or_ after the primary non-switch argument (though I do not have
access to a zfs-enabled Linux machine to test this).
Previously, trying to complete a token with any of these
expansion-related characters would cause the completion to return no
results, as it would emit expanded values which weren't matched by the
autocompleter.
Akin to __fish_complete_suffix, __fish_complete_directories now attempts
to complete the current commandline token if no token is explicitly
passed in as an argument.
The prompt is a fallback that is overridden via a function file
anyway.
Do that with the title as well, so we can use just builtins.
This removes error messages when $fish_function_path is borked.
Turns out that `make -pn` actually takes a while - about 300ms on
fish's makefile.
That's quite a bit of time just to throw away the output and use the
exit code.
So we just check for "GNU" in the version string.
It would be nice to just _do_ the completion and fall back on the
BSD-style if it doesn't work, but that is tricky to do with the pipe
to `awk` - the awk expression actually does not fail if `make` does
not print output.
And I don't know enough about awk to change that.
For usage in completion scripts.
Unlike `__fish_is_first_token` (which is probably not correctly named),
`__fish_is_first_arg` returns true regardless of whether existing tokens start with `-`
or not, to be used when an arg cannot be used with any other argument.
`__fish_prev_arg_in` is similar to `__fish_seen_...` but it explicitly
tests the preceding token only, for arguments that take only a single
parameter.
As it turns out, for some terminals backspace is \b but only when
preceded by \e.
All this makes about as much sense as the english language.
Fixes#4955.
The previous completion generation was broken for several reasons:
* ./foo would break detection of suffix due to the leading . being
interpreted an extension marker,
* ./foo would be completed as foo, which would be excluded from
matching inrcomplete.cpp
To be used by completions to directly determine whether it is either
possible or preferable to complete a switch (instead of a subcommand),
(presuming that switches must come before subcommands).
* __fish_can_complete_switches: we are in a position where a switch may
be placed.
* __fish_should_complete_switches: we're in a position to accept a
switch and the current token starts with `-` so we have no choice but
to do so.
Instead, attempt to extract the message that _would_ be displayed on
execution of `./configure --help` by relying on some markers present in
autoconf-generated configure files.
As measured with 'hyperfine' on a laptop running in reduced frequency
power savings mode, `fish -c "__fish_parse_configure ./configure"`
runtime dropped from ~1.25s to ~0.8ms, which is inline with the
previously observed ~350ms execution time for `./configure --help`.
fish's own startup time is approximately 75ms before parsing begins.
Still very slow, but much better.
This relies on the new `read --line/-L` support as an entire parser for
the output of `./configure --help` was written in fishscript. Also
doesn't work without 72f32e6d8a7905b064680ec4b578c41dea62bf84.
The completion script is slow... a function of both the autotools
configure script itself being written in a shell script combined with a
fishscript output parser.
fish's own `./configure --help` takes around 350ms to execute, while
`__fish_parse_configure ./configure` (which runs that behind the scenes)
takes around 660ms to run, all-in-all - a not insignificant overhead.
Output can be cached (based off of ./configure hash or mtime) in the
future if this is a big deal.
Now the description includes the variable scope, `set [-e] -[Ugl]`
completions only provide variables matching that scope, and completions
that shouldn't be modified are hidden from the user. Completions that
are often modified but rarely unset (`fish_*` variables) are omitted
from `set -e` completions.
A new helper function `__fish_seen_argument` has been added that makes
it easy to only provied completions for a specific flag.
Launch `cmd.exe /c "start URL"` under WSL for both `fish_config` and
`help`. This works around #4299 but does not address the underlying
issue (#1132).
no-op function for compatibility with sh, bash, and others.
Often used to insert a comment into a chain of commands without having
it eat up the remainder of the line, handy in Makefiles.
