This was previously required so that, if there was a redirection to a
file, we would fork a process to create the file even if there was no
output. For example `echo -n >/tmp/file.txt` would have to create
file.txt even though it would be empty.
However now we open the file before fork, so we no longer need special
logic around this.
Do this only when splitting on IFS characters which usually contains
whitespace characters --- read --delimiter is unchanged; it still
consumes no more than one delimiter per variable. This seems better,
because it allows arbitrary delimiters in the last field.
Fixes#6406
This adds a test for the obscure case where an fd is redirected to
itself. This is tricky because the dup2 will not clear the CLO_EXEC bit.
So do it manually; also posix_spawn can't be used in this case.
The IO cleanup left file redirections open in the child. For example,
/bin/cmd < file.txt would redirect stdin but also leave the file open.
Ensure these get closed properly.
Prior to this fix, a job would hold onto any IO redirections from its
parent. For example:
begin
echo a
end < file.txt
The "echo a" job would hold a reference to the I/O redirection.
The problem is that jobs then extend the life of pipes until the job is
cleaned up. This can prevent pipes from closing, leading to hangs.
Fix this by not storing the block IO; this ensures that jobs do not
prolong the life of pipes.

(command pwd) uses the system's implementation of pwd. At least the GNU
coreutils implementation defaults to -P, which resulted in symlinks being
expanded when switching between directories with nextd/prevd.
This did some weird unescaping to try to extract the first word.
So we're now more likely to be *correct*, and the alias benchmark is
about 20% *faster*.
Call it a win-win.
This splits a string into variables according to the shell's
tokenization rules, considering quoting, escaping etc.
This runs an automatic `unescape` on the string so it's presented like
it would be passed to the command. E.g.
printf '%s\n' a\ b
returns the tokens
printf
%s\n
a b
It might be useful to add another mode "--tokenize-raw" that doesn't
do that, but this seems to be the more useful of the two.
Fixes#3823.
This added the function offset *again*, but it's already included in
the line for the current file.
And yes, I have explicitly tested a function file with a function
defined at a later line.
Fixes#6350
Since #6287, bare variable assignments do not parse, which broke
the "Unsupported use of '='" error message.
This commit catches parse errors that occur on bare variable assignments.
When a statement node fails to parse, then we check if there is at least one
prefixing variable assignment. If so, we emit the old error message.
See also #6347
This adds initial support for statements with prefixed variable assignments.
Statments like this are supported:
a=1 b=$a echo $b # outputs 1
Just like in other shells, the left-hand side of each assignment must
be a valid variable identifier (no quoting/escaping). Array indexing
(PATH[1]=/bin ls $PATH) is *not* yet supported, but can be added fairly
easily.
The right hand side may be any valid string token, like a command
substitution, or a brace expansion.
Since `a=* foo` is equivalent to `begin set -lx a *; foo; end`,
the assignment, like `set`, uses nullglob behavior, e.g. below command
can safely be used to check if a directory is empty.
x=/nothing/{,.}* test (count $x) -eq 0
Generic file completion is done after the equal sign, so for example
pressing tab after something like `HOME=/` completes files in the
root directory
Subcommand completion works, so something like
`GIT_DIR=repo.git and command git ` correctly calls git completions
(but the git completion does not use the variable as of now).
The variable assignment is highlighted like an argument.
Closes#6048
Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.
Fixes#5415Fixes#2705
PATH and CDPATH have special behavior around empty elements. Express this
directly in env_stack_t::set rather than via variable dispatch; this is
cleaner.
This adds support for `fish_trace`, a new variable intended to serve the
same purpose as `set -x` as in bash. Setting this variable to anything
non-empty causes execution to be traced. In the future we may give more
specific meaning to the value of the variable.
The user's prompt is not traced unless you run it explicitly. Events are
also not traced because it is noisy; however autoloading is.
Fixes#3427
Until now, something like
`math '7 = 2'`
would complain about a "missing" operator.
Now we print an error about logical operators not being supported and
point the user towards `test`.
Fixes#6096
The `--entire` would enable output even though the `--quiet` should
have silenced it. These two don't make any sense together so print an
error, because the user could have just left off the `-q`.
This spewed errors because the `math` invocation got no second
operand:
Testing file checks/sigint.fish ... math: Error: Too few arguments
'1571487730 -'
but only if the `date` didn't do milliseconds, which is the case on
FreeBSD and NetBSD.
(also force the variable to be global - we don't want to have a
universal causing trouble here)
Universal exported variables (created by `set -xU`) used to show up
both as universal and global variable in child instances of fish.
As a result, when changing an exported universal variable, the
new value would only be visible after a new login (or deleting the
variable from global scope in each fish instance).
Additionally, something like `set -xU EDITOR vim -g` would be imported
into the global scope as a single word resulting in failures to
execute $EDITOR in fish.
We cannot simply give precedence to universal variables, because
another process might have exported the same variable. Instead, we
only skip importing a variable when it is equivalent to an exported
universal variable with the same name. We compare their values after
joining with spaces, hence skipping those imports does not change the
environment fish passes to its children. Only the representation in
fish is changed from `"vim -g"` to `vim -g`.
Closes#5258.
This eliminates the issue #5348 for universal variables.
Consider a group of short options, like -xzPARAM, where x and z are options and z takes an argument.
This commit enables completion of the argument to the last option (z), both within the same
token (-xzP) or in the next one (-xz P).
complete -C'-xz' will complete only parameters to z.
complete -C'-xz ' will complete only parameters to z if z requires a parameter
otherwise, it will also complete non-option parameters
To do so this implements a heuristic to differentiate such strings from single long options. To
detect whether our token contains some short options, we only require the first character after the
dash (here x) to be an option. Previously, all characters had to be short options. The last option
in our example is z. Everything after the last option is assumed to be a parameter to the last
option.
Assume there is also a single long option -x-foo, then complete -C'-x' will suggest both -x-foo and
-xy. However, when the single option x requires an argument, this will not suggest -x-foo.
However, I assume this will almost never happen in practise since completions very rarely mix
short and single long options.
Fixes#332
This stops reading argument names after another option appears. It does not break any previous uses and in fact fixes uses like
```fish
function foo --argument-names bar --description baz
```
* `function` command handles options after argument names (Fixes#6186)
* Removed unneccesary test
