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.
