The less -F / --quit-if-one-screen option is buggy before v530. To work
around this, pass --no-init less versions older than 530.
The --no-init option was previously passed; it was removed in d15a51897d
for mouse support. Unfortunately it looks like we can't have mouse
support and --quit-if-one-screen on macOS shipped less (version 487).
It's worth fixing this because otherwise history and help is just not
printed on stock macOS.
Relevant is https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/107315/less-quit-if-one-screen-without-no-initFixes#8157.
Now that we removed EROTTEN which had the same error code as EPERM,
we can give a less confusing error in case a user has not allowed
their terminal access to a directory.
See #8264
When cd is passed a broken symlink, this changes the error message from
"no such directory" to "broken symbolic link". This scenario probably
won't happen very often since completion won't suggest broken symlinks
but it can't hurt to give a good error.
Fish used to do this until 7ac5932. This logic used to be in
path_get_cdpath, however, that is only used for highlighting, so we
don't need error messages there. Changing cd is enough.
Reword from "rotten" to "broken" since that's what file(1) uses.
Clean-up leftovers from old "rotten" code (nomen est omen).
See #8264
This disables job control inside command substitutions. Prior to this
change, a cmdsub might get its own process group. This caused it to fail
to cancel loops properly. For example:
while true ; echo (sleep 5) ; end
could not be control-C cancelled, because the signal would go to sleep,
and so the loop would continue on. The simplest way to fix this is to
match other shells and not use job control in cmdsubs.
Related is #1362
This is opt-in through a new feature flag "ampersand-nobg-in-token".
When this flag and "qmark-noglob" are enabled, this command no longer
needs quoting:
curl https://example.com/thing?foo=bar&duran=duran
Compared to the previous approach e1570a4 ("Let '&' only separate as
the first char of a word"), this has some advantages:
1. "&&" and "&>" are no longer affected. They are still special, even
if used between tokens without spaces, like "echo bar&>foo".
Maybe this is not really *better*, but it avoids risking to annoy
users by breaking the old variant.
2. "&" is still special if at the end of a token, like in "sleep 1&".
Word movement is not affected by the semantics change, so Alt-F and
friends still stop at every "&".
When the user presses control-C, fish marks a cancellation signal which
prevents fish script from running, allowing it to properly unwind.
Prior to this commit, the signal was cleared in the reader. However this
missed the case where a binding would set $fish_bind_mode which would
trigger event handlers: the event handlers would be skipped because of
the cancellation flag was still set. This is similar to #6937.
Let's clear the flag earlier, as soon as we it's set, in inputter_t.
Fixes#8125.
This introduces two functions to
- toggle a process prefix, used for adding "sudo"
- add a job suffix, used for adding "&| less"
Not sure if they are very useful; we'll see.
Closes#7905
Document the last few changes and move some of the things out of
"Interactive" into more specific categories. If it's to do with
completions, it goes into completions. Bindings? How about "Bindings"?
* add support for colorized ls on openbsd
* add changelog line for colorls support
* add readme line for colorls support
* determine ls command at runtime, don't cache it
* eliminate __fish_ls_command function
Now that `$last_pid` is never fish's pid, we no longer need to force
jobs to run in their own pgroup. Restore the job control behavior to
what it was prior, so that signals may be delivered properly in
non-interactive mode.
This reverts commit 3255999794
Prior to this change, a function with an on-job-exit event handler must be
added with the pgid of the job. But sometimes the pgid of the job is fish
itself (if job control is disabled) and the previous commit made last_pid
an actual pid from the job, instead of its pgroup.
Switch on-job-exit to accept any pid from the job (except fish itself).
This allows it to be used directly with $last_pid, except that it now
works if job control is off. This is implemented by "resolving" the pid to
the internal job id at the point the event handler is added.
Also switch to passing the last pid of the job, rather than its pgroup.
This aligns better with $last_pid.
When a job is placed in the background, fish will set the `$last_pid`
variable. Prior to this change, `$last_pid` was set to the process group
leader of the job. However this caussed problems when the job ran in
fish's process group, because then fish itself would be the process group
leader and commands like `wait` would not work.
Switch `$last_pid` to be the actual last pid of the pipeline. This brings
it in line with the `$!` variable from zsh and bash.
This is technically a breaking change, but it is unlikely to cause
problems, because `$last_pid` was already rather broken.
Fixes#5036Fixes#5832Fixes#7721
It is possible to run a function when a process exits via `function
--on-process-exit`, or when a job exits via `function --on-job-exits`.
Internally these were distinguished by the pid in the event: if it was
positive, then it was a process exit. If negative, it represents a pgid
and is a job exit. If zero, it fires for both jobs and processes, which is
pretty weird.
Switch to tracking these explicitly. Separate out the --on-process-exit
and --on-job-exit event types into separate types. Stop negating pgids as
well.
This switches builtin_wait from waiting on jobs in the active job list, to
waiting on the wait handles. The wait handles may be either derived from
the job list itself, or from saved wait handles from jobs that exited in
the background.
Fixes#7210
Prior to this fix, an escaped character like \x41 (hex for ascii A)
was interpreted the same was as A, so that $\x41 would be the same
as $A. Fix this by inserting an INTERNAL_SEPARATOR before these escapes,
so that we no longer treat it as part of the variable name.
This also affects brackets; don't treat echo $foo\1331\135 the same as
echo $foo[1].
Fixes#7969
In many cases we currently discard escaped newlines, since they
are often unnecessary (when used around &|;). Escaped newlines
are useful for structuring argument lists. Allow them for variable
assignments since they are similar.
Closes#7955
This refactors the behavior of string match with capture groups to
correctly handle multiple arguments. Now the variable capture applies to
the first match, as documented. Fixes#7938.
string match is documented as setting an unset variable if a capture group
is unmatched in an otherwise matched regex, and if the `--all` flag is not
provided. However prior to this fix, it instead set a variable containing
the empty string as a single value. Correct the implementation to match
the documentation.
Note that if the `--all` flag is provided we continue to set empty
strings, which is documented.
This correctly sets $status when a builtin succeeds but its output fails;
for example if the output is redirected to a file and that write fails.
Fixes#7857
When building the document with Sphinx, the following warning is displayed, so add end-string.
"../CHANGELOG.rst:29: WARNING: Inline literal start-string without end-string."
This fixes the following problem: if a command is entered while the
previous command is still executing, fish will see it all at once and
execute it before syntax highlighting as a chance to start. So the
command will appear wrong on the terminal. Fix this by detecting this
case and performing a fast no-io highlight.
An example of how to reproduce this:
run `sleep 3` and then type `echo foo` while the sleep is still running.
This cleans up some exit code processing. Previously a failed exec
would produce exit code 125 unconditionally, while a failed posix_spawn
would produce exit code 1 (!).
With this change, fish reports exit code 126 for not-executable, and 127
for file-not-found. This matches bash.
When regenerating documentation with Sphinx, there's a warning issued about CHANGELOG.rst:
```
../CHANGELOG.rst:33: WARNING: Document or section may not begin with a transition.
```
This is almost identical to the fix in commit 84a89f5195.
Consider
$ complete -c foo -a 'aab aaB' -f
$ foo A<TAB>
since 28d67c8 we would insert the common prefix AND show the pager.
Due to case-insensitive comparison, "b/B" was considered to be part
of the prefix. Since the prefix is added to each pager item [1]
we get wrong results. Fix this by removing the insensitive comparison
between completions - I don't think it was of much use anyway.
Commandline tokens are still matched case-insensitively, this is
just about completions.
Test this by running interactive fish inside tmux (pexpect's terminal
emulation not have enough capabilities). Also add tests for recent
interactive regressions #7526 and #7738.
Closes#3978
[1]: b38a23a would solve this differently by giving every pager item
its own prefix, but was reverted since it needs more fixes.
* Rewrite the real file if history file is a symlink
When the history file is a symbolic link, `fish` used to overwrite
the link with a real file whenever it saved history. This makes
it follow the symlink and overwrite the real file instead.
The same issue was fixed for the `fish_variables` file in 622f2868e
from https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/7728.
This makes `fish_history` behave in the same way. The implementation
is nearly identical.
Since the tests for the two issues are so similar, I combined them
together and slightly expanded the older test.
This also addresses https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/7553.
* Add user-facing error when history renaming fails
Currently, when history file renaming fails, no message is shown to the
user. This happens, for instance, if the history file is a symlink
pointing to another filesystem.
This copies code (with a bit of variation, after reviewer comments) from
589eb34571/src/env_universal_common.cpp (L486-L491)
into `history.cpp`, so that a message is shown to the user.
* fixup! Rewrite the real file if history file is a symlink
When `fish` is running in the Chrome OS Linux VM (Crostini),
both `help` and `fish_config` opened a "file not found"
page. That is because on Crostini, `BROWSER` is usually set to
`garcon-url-handler`, which opens URLs in the host OS Chrome
browser. That browser lacks access to the Linux file system.
This commit fixes these commands. `help` now opens the URL on
www.fishshell.com. `fish_config` now opens the URL for the
server it starts. Previously, it opened a local file that
redirects to the same URL.
In the case of `help`, the situation could be improved further
by starting a web server to serve help. I don't know of another
way to access `/share/fish` from outside the VM without user
intervention, and I think that might be a part of the security
model for the Crostini VM.
It's hard to write a test for this. I checked that `help math`,
`python2 webconfig.py`, and `python3 webconfig.py` work on my
machine running in Crostini.
In this context, as it stands, $last_pid will give fish's pid (because
of pgroup shenanigans).
Since that doesn't really work, just `disown` without and let fish
figure out what the last process was.
Theoretically this has an issue if someone started a background
process *before* the python script *and* that exits before we run
disown.
That's a vanishingly small window and this is only run on first start,
so it seems acceptable.
Fixes#7739.
Apparently the fix for #6269 doesn't work until we set job-control to
full, which we won't do for this release.
So just drop it from the CHANGELOG.
See #7739.
The user may write for example:
echo foo >&5
and fish would try to output to file descriptor 5, within the fish process
itself. This has unpredictable effects and isn't useful. Make this an
error.
Note that the reverse is "allowed" but ignored:
echo foo 5>&1
this conceptually dup2s stdout to fd 5, but since no builtin writes to fd
5 we ignore it.
Similar to what fish_indent does. After typing "echo \" and hitting return,
the cursor will be indented.
A possible annoyance is that when you have multiple indented lines
echo 1 \
2 \
3 \
4 \
If you remove lines in the middle with Control-k, the lines below
the deleted one will start jumping around, as they are disconnected
from and reconnected to "echo".
If a variable is undefined, but it looks like it will be defined by the
current command line, assume the user knows what they are doing.
This should cover most real-world occurrences.
Closes#6654
When pasting a multiline command with indented blocks, extra indentation
from spaces, or tabs, is generally undesirable, because fish already indents
pipes and blocks. Discard the indentation unless the cursor or the pasted
part is inside quotes.
Users who copied fish_clipboard_paste need to update it because
__fish_commandline_is_singlequoted had an API change and was renamed.
After commit 6dd6a57c60, 3 remaining
builtins were affected by uint8_t overflow: `exit`, `return`, and
`functions --query`.
This commit:
- Moves the overflow check from `builtin_set_query` to `builtin_run`.
- Removes a conflicting int -> uint8_t conversion in `builtin_return`.
- Adds tests for the 3 remaining affected builtins.
- Simplifies the wording for the documentation for `set --query`.
- Does not change documentation for `functions --query`, because it does
not state the exit code in its API.
- Updates the CHANGELOG to reflect the change to all builtins.
Prior to this fix, if stdin were explicitly closed, then builtins would
silently fail. For example:
count <&-
would just fail with status 1. Remove this limitation and allow each
builtin to handle a closed stdin how it sees fit.
builtin_set_query returns the number of missing variables. Because the
return value passed to the shell is an 8-bit unsigned integer, if the
number of missing variables is a multiple of 256, it would overflow to 0.
This commit saturates the return value at 255 if there are more than 255
missing variables.

Some third party Git tools provide a man page, which we can at least use
for completing options.
The old logic excluded all generated completions for Git subcommands.
Instead, try to load completions for all available external subcommands.
We can use $PATH/git-* because /bin/git-add and friends were removed in Git
1.6.0 in 2008.
Closes#4358 (the "git-foo" wrapping was added in #7652)
Since #7075, git-foo.fish files are sourced when Git completions are loaded.
However, at least Cobra (CLI framework for Go) provides completions like
complete git-foo ...
This means that completions are only offered when typing "git-foo <TAB>"
and not on "git foo <TAB>". Fix this by forwarding the completion requests.
Take care to only forward if there are actually completions for "git-foo",
to avoid adding filename completions.
It also reflows.
We might want to think about doing something more extensible here, as
konsole is also about to add reflow, but for now the main problem
children here are VTE and alacritty.
Extends #7491.
Prior to this change, a glob like `**/file.txt` would only match
`file.txt` in subdirectories; the `**` must match at least one directory.
This is historical behavior.
With this change we move a little closer to bash's implementation by
allowing a literal `**` segment to match in the current directory. That
is, `**/foo` will match both `foo` and `bar/foo`, while `b**/foo` will
only match `bar/foo`.
Fixes#7222.
Prior to this change, if fish were launched connected to a tty but not as
pgroup leader, it would attempt to become pgroup leader only if
--interactive is explicitly passed. But bash will unconditionally attempt
to become pgroup leader if launched interactively. This can result in
scenarios where fish is running interactively but in another pgroup. The
most obvious impact is that control-C will result in the pgroup leader
(not fish) exiting and make fish orphaned.
Switch to matching the bash behavior here - we will always try to become
pgroup leader if interactive.
Fixes#7060.
"smartcase" performs case-insensitive matching if the input string is all
lowercase, and case-sensitive matching otherwise. When completing e.g.
files, we will now show both case sensitive and insensitive completions if
the input string does not contain uppercase characters.
This is a delicate fix in an interactive component with low test coverage.
It's likely something will regress here.
Fixes#3978
When fish presents an autosuggestion, there is some logic around whether
to retain it or discard it as the user types "into" it. Prior to this
change, we would retain the autosuggestion if the user's input text is a
case-insensitive prefix of the autosuggestion. This is reasonable for
certain case-insensitive autosuggestions like files, but it is confusing
especially for history items, e.g. `git branch -d ...` and `git branch -D
...` should not be considered a match.
With this change, when we compute the autosuggestion we record whether it
is "icase", and that controls whether the autosuggestion permits a
case-insensitive extension.
This addresses part of #3978.
The builtin-buffering thing is huge and should be early in the big
ticket items, the performance improvement to completion of commands is
cool but not all that important.

jobs -p %1 prints all processes in the first job.
fg is special because it only takes one argument. Using the last process
in the pipeline works for the cases I can think of.
Fixes#7406
These aliases seem to be common, see #7389 and others. This prevents
recursion on that example, so `alias ssh "env TERM=screen ssh"` will just
have the same completions as ssh.
Checking the last token is a heuristic which hopefully works for most
cases. Users are encouraged to use functions instead of aliases.
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

Now command, jobs, type, abbr, builtin, functions and set take `-q` to
query for existence, but the long option is inconsistent.
The first three use `--quiet`, the latter use `--query`. Add `--query`
to the first three, but keep `--quiet` around.
Fixes#7276.
The line offset of a trailing newline on the commandline was computed incorrectly.
As a result, up-arrow did not work for a commandline like the one inserted by:
commandline -i echo '' ''
Note this and the previous commit in the changelog.
This can be used to determine whether the previous command produced a real status, or just carried over the status from the command before it. Backgrounded commands and variable assignments will not increment status_generation, all other commands will.
This pulls in widechar_width.h from commit 7e9dfdaf05059b3f. The big change
here is that some characters which were previously marked as widened in 9
are now marked as unconditionally narrow; this includes some randoms like
hot pepper (U+1F336) but more importantly all of the regional indicators,
which affects how flags are rendered.
If you put two regional indicators together, you get a flag emoji. It's
unclear what the width of this flag emoji should be; Terminal and iTerm2
renders it as width 1, while kitty renders it as width 2. This is
unaffected by fish_emoji_width because the flag does not have an assigned
codepoint, it is a pair of codepoints.
The regional indicators are marked as "neutral" in EastAsianWidth.txt which
means they conceptually have width 1. So two of them have width 2. So now
we assume that flags are rendered as width 2.
This fixes#7237, for terminals that render flags as width 2 (but not 1,
unfortunately, which includes iTerm2 and Terminal.app).
fish_color_match is a variable which controls syntax highlighting for
matching quotes and parens, but only with interactive `read` with shell
highlighting disabled. It seems unlikely that anybody cares about this.
builtins output to stdout and stderr via io_streams_t. Prior to this fix, it
contained an output_stream_t which just wraps a buffer. So all builtin output
went to this buffer (except for eval).
Switch output_stream_t to become a new abstract class which can output to a
buffer, file descriptor, or nowhere. This allows for example `string` to stream
its output as it is produced, instead of buffering it.
Add a helper function to check if the user is root. This function can be
useful for the prompts for example. Modify the prompts made root checked
to use the function instead. Add also the support of Administrator like
a root user.
Fixes: #7031
This makes binding \cz possible.
We already ignore the SIGTSTP signal it sends, so until now it was useless.
(also STOP and START for good measure, but since we disable flow
control in fish anyway these already shouldn't have been sent)
Fixes#7152
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to resize the terminal via
TIOCSWINSZ, which was added as part of #3740. In practice this probably
never did anything useful since generally only the tty master can use
this. Remove the support and note it in the changelog.
Prior to this change, if the user's prompt was wider than the terminal, we
would reduce it to just `> `. With this change, attempt to truncate the
prompt.
For each line of the prompt, calculate its width. If the width exceeds
COLUMNS, prepend ellipsis to that line, and start removing characters
until it fits. Escape sequences are skipped.
Fixes#904
We use sphinx with rst for our documentation, and github supports rst
here, so it seems weird to have markdown just for these.
It also allows us e.g. to include the CHANGELOG in the docs without
requiring another build dependency.
