Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.

The history search logic had a not very useful "fast path" which was also
buggy because it neglected to dedup. Switch the "fast path" to just a
history search type which always matches.
Fixes#6278
PATH and CDPATH have special behavior around empty elements. Express this
directly in env_stack_t::set rather than via variable dispatch; this is
cleaner.
This adds support for `fish_trace`, a new variable intended to serve the
same purpose as `set -x` as in bash. Setting this variable to anything
non-empty causes execution to be traced. In the future we may give more
specific meaning to the value of the variable.
The user's prompt is not traced unless you run it explicitly. Events are
also not traced because it is noisy; however autoloading is.
Fixes#3427
When considering an autosuggestion from history, we attempt to validate the
command to ensure that we don't suggest invalid (e.g. path-dependent)
commands. Prior to this fix, we would validate the last command in the
command line (e.g. in `cd /bin && ./stuff` we would validate "./stuff".
This doesn't really make sense; we should be validating the first command
because it has the potential to change the PWD. Switch to validating the
first command.
Also remove some helper functions that became dead through this change.
Until now, something like
`math '7 = 2'`
would complain about a "missing" operator.
Now we print an error about logical operators not being supported and
point the user towards `test`.
Fixes#6096
Every builtin or function shipped with fish supports flag -h or --help to
print a slightly condensed version of its manpage.
Some of those help messages are longer than a typical screen;
this commit pipes the help to a pager to make it easier to read.
As in other places in fish we assume that either $PAGER or "less" is a
valid pager and use that.
In three places (error messages for bg, break and continue) the help is
printed to stderr instead of stdout. To make sure the error message is
visible in the pager, we pass it to builtin_print_help, every call of which
needs to be updated.
Fixes#6227
The `--entire` would enable output even though the `--quiet` should
have silenced it. These two don't make any sense together so print an
error, because the user could have just left off the `-q`.
sys/sysctl.h is deprecated on glibc, so it leads to warnings.
According to fa4ec55c96, it was included for KERN_PROCARGS2 for
process expansion, but process expansion is gone, so it's unused now.
(there is another use of it in common.cpp, but that's only on FreeBSD)
Also 1f06e5f0b9 only included
tokenizer.h (present since the initial commit) if KERN_PROCARGS2
wasn't available, so it can't have been important.
This builds and passes the tests on:
- Archlinux, with glibc 2.30
- Alpine, with musl
- FreeBSD
- NetBSD
Universal exported variables (created by `set -xU`) used to show up
both as universal and global variable in child instances of fish.
As a result, when changing an exported universal variable, the
new value would only be visible after a new login (or deleting the
variable from global scope in each fish instance).
Additionally, something like `set -xU EDITOR vim -g` would be imported
into the global scope as a single word resulting in failures to
execute $EDITOR in fish.
We cannot simply give precedence to universal variables, because
another process might have exported the same variable. Instead, we
only skip importing a variable when it is equivalent to an exported
universal variable with the same name. We compare their values after
joining with spaces, hence skipping those imports does not change the
environment fish passes to its children. Only the representation in
fish is changed from `"vim -g"` to `vim -g`.
Closes#5258.
This eliminates the issue #5348 for universal variables.
Consider a group of short options, like -xzPARAM, where x and z are options and z takes an argument.
This commit enables completion of the argument to the last option (z), both within the same
token (-xzP) or in the next one (-xz P).
complete -C'-xz' will complete only parameters to z.
complete -C'-xz ' will complete only parameters to z if z requires a parameter
otherwise, it will also complete non-option parameters
To do so this implements a heuristic to differentiate such strings from single long options. To
detect whether our token contains some short options, we only require the first character after the
dash (here x) to be an option. Previously, all characters had to be short options. The last option
in our example is z. Everything after the last option is assumed to be a parameter to the last
option.
Assume there is also a single long option -x-foo, then complete -C'-x' will suggest both -x-foo and
-xy. However, when the single option x requires an argument, this will not suggest -x-foo.
However, I assume this will almost never happen in practise since completions very rarely mix
short and single long options.
Fixes#332
In e167714899 we allowed recursive calls
to complete. However, some completions use infinite recursion in their
completions and rely on `complete` to silently stop as soon as it is
called recursively twice without parameter (thus completing the
current commandline). For example:
complete -c su -s -xa "(complete -C(commandline -ct))"
su -c <TAB>
Infinite recursion happens because (commandline -ct) is an empty list,
which would print an error message. This commmit explicitly detects
such recursive calls where `complete` has no parameter and silently
terminates. This enables above completion (like before raising the
recursion limit) while still allowing legitimate cases with limited
recursion.
Closes#6171
This stops reading argument names after another option appears. It does not break any previous uses and in fact fixes uses like
```fish
function foo --argument-names bar --description baz
```
* `function` command handles options after argument names (Fixes#6186)
* Removed unneccesary test
Prior to this fix, self-insert would always wait for a new character.
Track in char_event what sequence generated the readline event, and then
if the sequence is not empty, insert that sequence.
This will support implementing the space binding via pure readline
functions.
Previously, tab-completion would move the cursor to the end of the current token, even
if no completion is inserted. This commit defers moving the cursor until we insert a completion.
Fixes#4124
If interactive, `complete` commands are highlighted like they would
be if typed. Adds a little fun contrast and it's easier to read.
Moved a function out of fish_indent to highlight.h
we now print --long options for ones I arbitrarily decided
are less likely to be remembered.
Also fixed the `--wraps` items at the end not being escaped
Most of our completion scripts are written using the short options
anyhow, and this makes it less likely the output will span several
lines per command
This sequence can be generatd by control-spacebar. Allow it to be bound
properly.
To do this we must be sure that we never round-trip the key sequence
through a C string.
Fish completes parts of words split by the separators, so things like
`dd if=/dev/sd<TAB>` work.
This commit improves interactive completion if completion strings legitimately
contain '=' or ':'. Consider this example where completion will suggest
a🅰️1 and other files in the cwd in addition to a:1
touch a:1; complete -C'ls a:'
This behavior remains unchanged, but this commit allows to quote or escape
separators, so that e.g. `ls "a:<TAB>` and `ls a\:<TAB>` successfully complete
the filename.
This also makes the completion insert those escapes automatically unless
already quoted.
So `ls a<TAB>` will give `ls a\:1`.
Both changes match bash's behavior.
Instead of warning (debug level 1), we now emit an error (debug level 0) if a known bad version of
WSL is detected. However, `FISH_NO_WSL_CHECK` can now be defined to skip both the check and the
startup message.
fish is designed to append to the history file in most cases. However
save_internal_via_appending was never returning success, so we were
always doing the slow rewrite path. Correctly return success.
Fixes#6042
It appears Gcc 4.8 doesn't get this particular expression, so we just
revert to the old `type foo = bar` style from the new `type foo{bar}`.
Fixes#6027.
Meaning empty variables, command substitutions that don't print
anything.
A switch without an argument
```fish
switch
case ...
end
```
is still a syntax error, and more than one argument is still a runtime
error.
The none-argument matches either an empty-string `case ''` or a
catch-all `case '*'`.
Fixes#5677.
Fixes#4943.
Previously when propagating explicitly separated output, we would early-out
if the buffer was empty, where empty meant contains no characters. However
it may contain one or more empty strings, in which case we should propagate
those strings.
Remove this footgun "empty" function and handle this properly.
Fixes#5987
Prior to this fix, fish would attempt to react if a local fish_complete_path
or fish_function_path were set. However this has never been very well tested
and will become impossible with concurrent execution. Always use the global
values.
Soon we will have more complicated logic around whether to call tcsetpgrp.
Prepare to centralize the logic by passing in the new term owner pgrp,
instead of having child_setup_process perform the decision.
This exitted if the cursor was at the end of the line as well (i.e. if
delete-char failed). That's a bit too eager.
Also documentation, which should have already been included.
We used to have a global notion of "is the shell interactive" but soon we
will want to have multiple independent execution threads, only some of
which may be interactive. Start tracking this data per-parser.
history now often writes to the history file asynchronously, but the history
test expects to find the text in the file immediately after running the
command. Hack a bit in history to make this test more reliable.
Prior to this diff, fish had different signal handling functions for
different signals. However it was hard to coordinate when a signal needed
to be the default handler, and when it was custom. In #5962 we overwrote
fish's custom WINCH handler with the default_handler when fish script asked
for WINCH to be handled.
Just have a single big signal handler function. That way it can never be
set to the wrong thing.
Fixes#5969
When executing a job, if the first process is fish internal, then have
fish claim the job's pgroup.
The idea here is that the terminal must be owned by a pgroup containing
the process reading from the terminal. If the first process is fish
internal (a function or builtin) then the pgroup must contain the fish
process.
This is a bit of a workaround of the behavior where the first process that
executes in a job becomes the process group leader. If there's a deferred
process, then we will execute processes out of order so the pgroup can be
wrong. Fix this by setting the process group leader explicitly as fish
when necessary.
Fixes#5855
Especially as, in this case, the documentation is quite massive.
Caught by porting string's test to littlecheck.
See #3404 - this was already supposed to be included.
25afc9b377 made this unnecessary by
having child processes wait for a signal after fork(), but this change
was later reverted. If we artificially slow down fish (e.g. with a sleep)
after the fork call, we see commands getting backgrounded by mistake.
Put back the tcsetgrp() call.
* Prevent not-yet-loaded functions from loaded when erased
Today, `functions --erase $function` does nothing if the function
hasn't been autoloaded yet.
E.g. run, in an interactive session
> functions --erase ls
> type ls
and be amazed that it still shows our default `ls --color=auto`
wrapper function.
This seems counter-intuitive - removing a function ought to remove it,
whether it had been executed before or not.
* doc/changelog
Instead of requiring a flag to enable newline trimming, invert it so the
flag (now `--no-trim-newlines`) disables newline trimming. This way our
default behavior matches that of sh's `"$(cmd)"`.
Also change newline trimming to trim all newlines instead of just one,
again to match sh's behavior.
The `string collect` subcommand behaves quite similarly in practice to
`string split0 -m 0` in that it doesn't split its output, but it also
takes an optional `--trim-newline` flag to trim a single trailing
newline off of the output.
See issue #159.
It's always a bit annoying that `*` requires quoting.
So we allow "x" as an alternative, only it needs to be followed by
whitespace to distinguish it from "0x" hexadecimal notation.
To support distinct parsers having different working directories, we need
to keep the working directory alive, and also retain a non-path reference
to it.
Because an exported universal variable must be exported in all variable
stacks, explicit invalidation is infeasible. Switch the universal variables
to a generation count.
Prior to this fix, fish would invalidate the exported variable list
whenever an exported variable changes. However we soon will not have a
single "exported variable list." If a global variable changes, it is
infeasible to find all exported variable lists and invalidate them.
Switch to a new model where we store a list of generation counts. Every
time an exported variable changes, the node gets a new generation. If the
current generation list does not match the cached one, then we know that
our exported variable list is stale.
