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.
