Rephrase this to more explicitly indicate that the uvar actually
was successfully set. I believe the prior phrasing can leave some
ambiguity as far as wether set just failed with an error, whether it
has done anything or not.
Now uses the same macro other builtins use for a missing -e arg,
and the error message show the short or long option as it was used.
e.g. before
$ set -e
set: Erase needs a variable name
after
$ set --erase
set: --erase: option requires an argument
$ set -e
set: -e: option requires an argument
Intern'd strings were intended to be "shared" to reduce memory usage but
this optimization doesn't carry its weight. Remove it. No functional
change expected.
We store filenames in function definitions to indicate where the
function comes from. Previously these were intern'd strings. Switch them
to a shared_ptr<wcstring>, intending to remove intern'd strings.
The history pager will show multiline commands in single-line cells.
We escape newline characters as \\n but that looks awkward if the next line
starts with a letter. Let's render control characters using their corresponding
symbol from the Control Pictures Unicode block.
This means there is also no need to escape backslashes, which further improves
the history pager - now the rendering has exactly as many backslashes as
the eventual command.
This means that (multiline) commands in the history pager will be rendered
with the same amount of characters as are in the actual command (unless
they contain funny nonprintables). This makes it easy for the next commit
to highlight multiline commands correctly in the history pager.
The font size for these symbols (for example ␉) is quite small, but that's
okay since for the proposed uses it's not so important that they readable.
The important thing is that the stand out from surrounding text.
This checked specifically for "| and" and "a=b" and then just gave the
error without a caret at all.
E.g. for a /tmp/broken.fish that contains
```fish
echo foo
echo foo | and cat
```
This would print:
```
/tmp/broken.fish (line 3): The 'and' command can not be used in a pipeline
warning: Error while reading file /tmp/broken.fish
```
without any indication other than the line number as to the location
of the error.
Now we do
```
/tmp/broken.fish (line 3): The 'and' command can not be used in a pipeline
echo foo | and cat
^~^
warning: Error while reading file /tmp/broken.fish
```
Another nice one:
```
fish --no-config -c 'echo notprinted; echo foo; a=b'
```
failed to give the error message!
(Note: Is it really a "warning" if we failed to read the one file we
wer told to?)
We should check if we should either centralize these error messages
completely, or always pass them and remove this "code" system, because
it's only used in some cases.
This skipped printing a "^" line if the start or length of the error
was longer than the source.
That seems like the correc thing at first glance, however it means
that the caret line isn't skipped *if the file goes on*.
So, for example
```fish
echo "$abc["
```
by itself, in a file or via `fish -c`, would not print an error, but
```fish
echo "$abc["
true
```
would. That's not a great way to print errors.
So instead we just.. imagine the start was at most at the end.
The underlying issue why `echo "$abc["` causes this is that `wcstol`
didn't move the end pointer for the index value (because there is no
number there). I'd fix this, but apparently some of
our recursive variable calls absolutely rely on this position value.
This makes the awkward case
fish: Unexpected end of string, square brackets do not match
echo f[oo # not valid, no matching ]
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^
(that `]` is simply the last character on the line, it's firmly in a comment)
less awkward by only marking the starting brace.
The implementation here is awkward mostly because the tok_t
communicates two things: The error location and how to carry on.
So we need to store the error length separately, and this is the first
time we've done so.
It's possible we can make this simpler.
This makes it so instead of marking the error location with a simple
`^`, we mark it with a caret, then a run of `~`, and then an ending `^`.
This makes it easier to see where exactly an error occured, e.g. which
command substitution was meant.
Note: Because this uses error locations that haven't been exposed like
that, it's likely to shake out weirdnesses and inaccuracies. For that
reason I've not adjusted the tests yet.
This stops us from loading the completions for e.g. `./foo` if there
is no `foo` in path.
This is because the completion scripts will call an unqualified `foo`,
and then error out.
This of course means if the script would work because it never calls
the command, we still don't load it.
Pathed completions via `complete --path` should be unaffected because
they aren't autoloaded anyway.
Workaround for #3117Fixes#9133
This was misguidedly "fixed" in
9e08609f85, which made printf error out
with any "-"-prefixed words as the first argument.
Note: This means currently `printf --help` doesn't print the help.
This also matches `echo`, and we currently don't have anything to make
a literal `--help` execute a builtin help except for keywords. Oh well.
Fixes#9132
* Disclose pager to screen height immediately
This removes that bit where we only show 4 rows at most at first,
instead we disclose between half of terminal height up to the full terminal height (but still at least 4 rows).
This results in less pressing of tab to get the other results, and
better visibility of results.
Unlike moving it to the actual top of the screen, it's not as jarring and doesn't push terminal history off-screen as much.
Fixes#2698
This used to be kept, so e.g. testing it with
fish_read_limit=5 echo (string repeat -n 10 a)
would cause the prompt and such to error as well.
Also there was no good way to get back to the default value
afterwards.
* string repeat: Don't allocate repeated string all at once
This used to allocate one string and fill it with the necessary
repetitions, which could be a very very large string.
Now, it instead uses one buffer and fills it to a chunk size,
and then writes that.
This fixes:
1. We no longer crash with too large max/count values. Before they
caused a bad_alloc because we tried to fill all RAM.
2. We no longer fill all RAM if given a big-but-not-too-big value. You
could've caused fish to eat *most* of your RAM here.
3. It can start writing almost immediately, instead of waiting
potentially minutes to start.
Performance is about the same to slightly faster overall.
This newline apparently dates back to when we required all statements to
be terminated; but our AST no longer requires that so we can remove
this. No functional change expected here.
The previous fix was reverted because it broke another scenario. Add tests
for both scenarios.
The first test exposes another problem: autosuggestions are sometimes not
recomputed after selecting the first completion with Tab Tab. Fix that too.
This makes it easy to see where the individual commands start. Perhaps we
can get rid of this once we have syntax highlighting for the commands in
the history pager, or if we add timestamps as descriptions.
Note that every change to the search field still starts a new search, from
the end of history. We could change this in future but it's unclear to me
what the expected behavior is. I don't find the traditional readline behavior
very intuitive.
This reimplements ridiculousfish/control_r which is a more future-proof
approach than #6686.
Pressing Control+R shows history in our pager and allows to search filter
commands with the pager search field.
On the surface, this works just like in other shells; though there are
some differences.
- Our pager shows multiple results at a time.
- Other shells allow to use up arrow/down arrow to select adjacent entries
in history. Shouldn't be hard to implement but the hidden state might
confuse users and it doesn't play well with up-or-search, so this is
left out.
Users might expect the history pager to use subsequence matching (fuzzy
matching) like the completion pager, however due to the history pager design it
uses substring matching. We could change this in future, however that means
we would also want to change the ordering from "reverse-chronological" to
"longest common subsequence" (e.g. what fuzzy finders do), because otherwise
a query "fis" might give this ordering:
fsck /dev/disk/by-partlabel/Linux\x20filesystem
fish
which is probably not what the user wants.
The pager shows only a small number of history items at a time. This is
because, as explained above, the history pager does not support subsequence
matching, so navigating it does not scale well.
Closes#602
The next patch wants to add state that should be reset when we clear the
pager, which will happen in this function.
This reverts commit b25b291d38.
No functional change.
The pager's rendering_needs_update() function detects some but not all
scenarios where a rendering is stale. In particular, it does not compare
the completion strings.
To make this work, we manually invalidate the pager rendering whenever we
update completion strings. The history pager needs the same functionality,
so let's move it into the pager.
No functional change.
This addresses code review feedback to not couple the purely visual
concept of cursor style with the logical concept of the selection size.
Instead this now uses a dedicated variable
`$fish_select_char_after_cursor` to determine whether to extend the
selection beyond the cursor:
* fish_select_char_after_cursor = 1 or unset -> extend selection
* all other cases -> place the selection end that the cursor
This fixes the handling of the right end of the selection. Currently the
right end is considered to be at the cursor position + 1. When using a
`block` or `underline` cursor this is arguably correct, because the
cursor has a width of 1 and spans from the current position to the next:
```
x x [x x x̲] x
```
This is incorrect though (or at least very unintuitive), when using a
`line` cursor:
```
x x [x x|x] x
```
This commit changes the strategy for determining the end of the
selection in the following way:
* If the current cursor as determined by `$fish_cursor_<bind_mode>` is
set to `line`, then a cursor width of `0` is assumed.
* In all other cases, including `block` and `underscore` as well as when
no value is set we retain the previous behavior of assuming a cursor
width of `1`.
```
x x [x x x̲] x
x x [x x|]x x
```
This change should not affect many users, because the selection is
probably used most by vi-mode users, who are also likely to use a
block cursor.
We use "c > 0" but we actually mean "c != 0". The former looks like the
other code path handles negative c. Yet if c is negative, our code would
print a single escaped byte (\xXY) which is wrong because a negative value
has "sizeof wchar_t" bytes which is at least 2.
I think on platforms with 16-bit wchar_t it's possible that we actually
get a negative value but I haven't checked.
Since the fix for #3892, this escaping style escapes
\n to \\n
as well as
\\ to \\\\
\' to \\'
I believe these two are the only printable characters that are escaped with
ESCAPE_NO_PRINTABLES.
The rationale is probably to keep the encoding unambiguous and reversible.
However that doesn't justify escaping the single quote. Probably this was
an accident, so let's revert that part.
This has the nice effect that single quotes will no longer be escaped
when rendered in the completion pager (which is consistent with other
special characters). Try it:
complete : -a "aaa\'\; aaaa\'\;" -f
Also this makes the error output of builtin bind consistent:
$ bind -e --preset \;
$ bind -e --preset \'
$ bind \;
bind: No binding found for sequence “;”
$ bind \'
bind: No binding found for sequence “'”
the last line is clearly better than the old version:
bind: No binding found for sequence “\'”
In general, the fact that ESCAPE_NO_PRINTABLES escapes the (printable)
backslash is weird but I guess it's fine because it looks more consistent to
users, even though the result is an undocumented subset of the fish language.
ESCAPE_ALL is not really a helpful name. Also it's the most common flag.
Let's make it the default so we can remove this unhelpful name.
While at it, let's add a default value for the flags argument, which helps
most callers.
The absence of ESCAPE_ALL makes it only escape nonprintable characters
(with some exceptions). We use this for displaying strings in the completion
pager as well as for the human-readable output of "set", "set -S", "bind"
and "functions".
No functional change.
