Commit 8d27f81a to change how background jobs are handled (killed rather
than left running) when the shell is exited did not correctly handle
the nested interactive context created by the `breakpoint` command. This
fixes that mistake. Now any background jobs that already existed, or were
created within the `breakpoint` context, are left running when exiting
that context.
Fish is not consistent with other shells like bash and zsh when exiting
an interactive shell with background jobs. While it is true that fish
explicitly claims no compatibility with POSIX 1003.1 this is an area
where deviation from the established practice adds negative value.
The reason for the current behavior seems to be due to two users who did
not understand why interactive shells managed background jobs as they
did and were not aware of tools like `nohup` or `disown`. See issue
There is also a fairly significant bug present due to a misunderstanding of
what a true value from `reader_exit_forced()` means. This change corrects
that misunderstanding.
Fixes#3497
The recent discussion around allowing the user to change various termios
(i.e., stty) settings reminded me that there are places in our code
where we assume the interrupt key is [ctrl-C]. That's a bad assumption.
Instead use the actual value reported to us by the kernel.
This also makes the fkr program friendlier by always reporting when a
signal was received, not just when run with -d2, and prompting the user
to press the INTR or EOF key a second time to exit.
If acquiring a lock on the history or uvar file takes more than 250 ms
disable locking of the file. On systems with broken remote file system
locking it can cause tens of seconds delay after running each command
which can make the shell borderline unusable.
This also changes history file locking to use flock() rather than
fcntl() to be consistent with uvar file locking. It also implements the
250 ms time limit before giving up on locking.
Fixes#685
If an interactive shell has its tty invalidated attempts to write to
stdout or stderr can trigger this bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20632
Avoid that by reopening the stdio streams on /dev/null if we're getting
an ENOTTY error when trying to do things like give or take ownership of
the tty.
This includes some unrelated style cleanups but including them seems
reasonable.
Fixes#3644
When I refactored the code to reduce redundancy and improve the error
messages when the config or data directories could not be used I botched
the customization of the $HOME based data path.
min_width dates back to the original full-screen pager.
After some careful inspection, the code path that uses min_width
is never executed and so the min_width machinery is useless.
Let's remove it!
Tests that exercise error paths may result in output to
stderr. This may make it look like the test failed when it did
not. Introduce should_suppress_stderr_for_tests() to suppress
this output so the test output looks clean.
This commit fixes a bug which causes that
fish -c ')'; echo $status
("Illegal command name" error) returns 0. This is inconsistent with
e.g. when trying to run non-existent command:
fish -c 'invalid-command'; echo $status
("Unknown command" error) which correctly returns 127.
A new status code,
STATUS_ILLEGAL_CMD = 123
is introduced - which is returned whenever the 'Illegal command name *'
message is printed.
This commit also adds a test which checks if valid commands return 0,
while commands with illegal name return status code 123.
Fixes#3606.
On Solaris, some standard wide character functions are only contained in
the std:: namespace. The configure script now checks for these, enabling
the appropriate `uses` statements in src/common.h.
The checks are handwritten, because Autoconf's AC_CHECK_FUNC macro
always uses C linkage, but the problem only appears under C++ linkage.
Work on #3340.
This change increases the amount of useful information when fish is
unable to create or use its config or data directory. We now make it
clear when neither var is set or one is set to an unusable location.
Fixes#3545
After 'x' is used to delete a character at the end of a line the cursor
should be repositioned at the last character, i.e. repeatedly pressing
'x' in normal mode should delete the entire string.
A couple things went wrong with `env -u HOME USER=x ./fish -c ''`
We failed to check that `pw` isn't NULL leading to a crash when USER is
bogus. After fixing that we were not left with both variables in a
correct state still.
We now go back and force fish to dig up a working USER when we notice
this and then get both set successfully. Fixes#3599
This augments the previous change for issue #3346 by adding an error
message when an invalid integer is seen. This change is likely to be
controversial so I'm not going to squash it into the previous change.
The `test` builtin currently has unexpected behavior with respect to
expressions such as `'' -eq 0`. That currently evaluates to true with a
return status of zero. This change addresses that oddity while also
ensuring that other unusual strings (e.g., numbers with leading and
trailing whitespace) are handled consistently.
Fixes#3346
Only in one instance would test as `[` have the the errors formatted
as "[: foo". This fixes that. When trying to track down the source of
an error this could lead someone astray.
The existing code is inconsistent, and in a couple of cases wrong, about
dealing with strings that are not valid ints. For example, there are
locations that call wcstol() and check errno without first setting errno
to zero. Normalize the code to a consistent pattern. This is mostly to
deal with inconsistencies between BSD, GNU, and other UNIXes.
This does make some syntax more liberal. For example `echo $PATH[1 .. 3]`
is now valid due to uniformly allowing leading and trailing whitespace
around numbers. Whereas prior to this change you would get a "Invalid
index value" error. Contrast this with `echo $PATH[ 1.. 3 ]` which was
valid and still is.
Builtin commands that validate var names should use a consistent
mechanism. I noticed that builtin_read() had it's own custom code that
differed slightly from wcsvarname().
Fixes#3569
My previous change removed one place where is_wchar_ucs2() was used and
replaced it with compile time tests. This change does the same for the
other uses.
On Cygwin there are two narrowing conversions at line 931 in
src/fish_tests.cpp due to the code assuming a wchar_t is four bytes.
Obviously that's wrong but only became an issue with the pending change to
switch to C++11. The problematic values aren't actually used on Windows
because the tests that would use them are bypassed if is_wchar_ucs2()
returns true. This change predicates that code on a compile time rather
than a run time test.
