The description for an alias which already has escape sequences will
use backslash escapes for quoting; usually `string escape` can simply
quote it. Use a regex that accepts either escaping style.
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.
A recent regression to the `alias` command points out the need for more
unit tests of its behavior. I also decided to use it as an opportunity
to normalize the output of just `alias` to list aliases.
If the first word of the alias body ends with a semicolon we need to
strip that character, and otherwise escape the extracted command, to
ensure the subsequent function definition is valid.
Fixes#3860
I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
The extra things `eval` does are all for code that runs
interactively. Because we just define a function, we don't need it.
This improves alias' performance by about 20-25% (0.783608s to 0.585585s
on about 500 aliases) and avoids triggering #3345.
The new --wraps functionality was breaking aliases of the form
`alias foo='bar baz'`. That is, aliases where the body is multiple
words. Extract the first word of the body and use that instead.
Use better errors for aliases with no name or no body.
Add the --wraps option to 'complete' and 'function'. This allows a
command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command.
Fixes#393.
When evaluating a completion, we inspect the entire "wrap chain" for a
command, i.e. we follow the sequence of wrapping until we either hit a
loop (which we silently ignore) or the end of the chain. We then
evaluate completions as if the wrapping command were substituted with
the wrapped command. Currently this only works for commands, i.e.
'complete --command gco --wraps git\ checkout' won't work (that would
seem to encroaching on abbreviations anyways). It might be useful to
show an error message for that case.
The commandline builtin reflects the commandline with the wrapped
command substituted in, so e.g. git completions (which inspect the
command line) will just work. This sort of command line munging is
also performed by 'complete -C' so it's not totally without precedent.
'alias will also now mark its generated function as wrapping the
'target.
