* Add `set --function`
This makes the function's scope available, even inside of blocks. Outside of blocks it's the toplevel local scope.
This removes the need to declare variables locally before use, and will probably end up being the main way variables get set.
E.g.:
```fish
set -l thing
if condition
set thing one
else
set thing two
end
```
could be written as
```fish
if condition
set -f thing one
else
set -f thing two
end
```
Note: Many scripts shipped with fish use workarounds like `and`/`or`
instead of `if`, so it isn't easy to find good examples.
Also, if there isn't an else-branch in that above, just with
```fish
if condition
set -f thing one
end
```
that means something different from setting it before! Now, if
`condition` isn't true, it would use a global (or universal) variable of
te same name!
Some more interesting parts:
Because it *is* a local scope, setting a variable `-f` and
`-l` in the toplevel of a function ends up the same:
```fish
function foo2
set -l foo bar
set -f foo baz # modifies the *same* variable!
end
```
but setting it locally inside a block creates a new local variable
that shadows the function-scoped variable:
```fish
function foo3
set -f foo bar
begin
set -l foo banana
# $foo is banana
end
# $foo is bar again
end
```
This is how local variables already work. "Local" is actually "block-scoped".
Also `set --show` will only show the closest local scope, so it won't
show a shadowed function-level variable. Again, this is how local
variables already work, and could be done as a separate change.
As a fun tidbit, functions with --no-scope-shadowing can now use this to set variables in the calling function. That's probably okay given that it's already an escape hatch (but to be clear: if it turns out to problematic I reserve the right to remove it).
Fixes#565
Fixes some regressions from 35ca42413 ("Simplify some parse_util functions").
The tmux tests are not beautiful but I find them easy to write.
Probably a pexpect test would also be enough here?
for PWD in foo; true; end
prints:
>..src/parse_execution.cpp:461: end_execution_reason_t parse_execution_context_t::run_for_statement(const ast::for_header_t&, const ast::job_list_t&): Assertion `retval == ENV_OK' failed.
because this used the wrong way to see if something is read-only.
This allows us to test that `test` takes numbers with decimal point even in comma-using locales,
to stop those pesky americans from breaking everything again.
(and yes, we use french to keep myself honest)
Through a mechanism I don't entirely understand, $PWD is sometimes
writable (so that `cd` can change it) and sometimes not.
In this case we ended up with it writable, which is wrong.
See #8179.
This didn't do all the syntax checks, so something like
fish -c 'echo foo; and $status'
complained of a missing command `0` (i.e. $status), and
fish -c 'echo foo | exec grep'
hit an assert!
So we do what read_ni does, parse each command into an ast, run
parse_util_detect_errors on it if it worked and then eval the ast.
It is possible to do this neater by modifying parser::eval, but I
can't find where.
This is slightly unclean. Even tho it would otherwise be syntactically
valid, using $status as a command is very very very likely to be an
error, like
if not $status
We have reports of this surprisingly regularly, including #2773.
Because $status can only ever be a value from 0 to 255, it is also
very unlikely to be an actual command, and that command is very
unlikely to do what you want.
So we simply point the user towards the "conditions" help section,
that should explain things.
This is opt-in through a new feature flag "ampersand-nobg-in-token".
When this flag and "qmark-noglob" are enabled, this command no longer
needs quoting:
curl https://example.com/thing?foo=bar&duran=duran
Compared to the previous approach e1570a4 ("Let '&' only separate as
the first char of a word"), this has some advantages:
1. "&&" and "&>" are no longer affected. They are still special, even
if used between tokens without spaces, like "echo bar&>foo".
Maybe this is not really *better*, but it avoids risking to annoy
users by breaking the old variant.
2. "&" is still special if at the end of a token, like in "sleep 1&".
Word movement is not affected by the semantics change, so Alt-F and
friends still stop at every "&".
Currently, if a "return" is given outside of a function, we'd just
throw an error.
That always struck me as a bit weird, given that scripts can also
return a value.
So simply let "return" outside also exit the script, kinda like "exit"
does.
However, unlike "exit" it doesn't quit an interactive shell - it seems
weird to have "return" do that as well. It sets $status, so it can be
used to quickly set that, in case you want to test something.
In the variable handler, we just go through the entire thing and keep
every element once.
If there's a duplicate, we set it again, which calls the handler
again.
This takes a bit of time, to be paid on each startup. On my system,
with 100 already deduplicated elements, that's about 4ms (compared to
~17ms for adding them to $PATH).
It's also semantically more complicated - now this variable
specifically is deduplicated? Do we just want "unique" variables that
can't have duplicates?
However: This entirely removes the pathological case of appending to
$fish_user_paths in config.fish (which should be an FAQ entry!), and the implementation is quite simple.
This adds a hack to the parser. Given a command
echo "x$()y z"
we virtually insert double quotes before and after the command
substitution, so the command internally looks like
echo "x"$()"y z"
This hack allows to reuse the existing logic for handling (recursive)
command substitutions.
This makes the quoting syntax more complex; external highlighters
should consider adding this if possible.
The upside (more Bash compatibility) seems worth it.
Closes#159
In some setups (eg. macports) $tmpdir can expand to more than
100 symbols and tests fail with 'socket file name too long'
errors.
Using relative path to socket file fixes the issue.
* string: Allow `collect --no-empty` to avoid empty ellision
Currently we still have that issue where
test -n (thing | string collect)
can return true if `thing` doesn't print anything, because the
collected argument will still be removed.
So, what we do is allow `--no-empty` to be used, in which case we
print one empty argument.
This means
test -n (thing | string collect -n)
can now be safely used.
"no-empty" isn't the best name for this flag, but string's design
really incentivizes reusing names, and it's not *terrible*.
* Switch to `--allow-empty`
`--no-empty` does the exact opposite for `string split` and split0.
Since `-a`/`--allow-empty` already exists, use it.
The tmux-prompt test was failing when run more than once, because
XDG_DATA_HOME has a leading double-dot, causing the uvars file to
leak across sessions. Descend more deeply into our tmpdir to isolate
our XDG_DATA_HOME.
This reverts commit b56b230076.
which somehow made us miss repaints on uvar notifications.
The commit was a workaround for a polling bug which was later properly
fixed by 7c5b8b855 ("Use the uvar notifier pipe timestamp to avoid
excessive polling"), so it's no longer necessary.
Add a system test. If I had a better understanding of the bug I could
probably write a better test.
Fixes#8088
We used to warn about PATH and CDPATH that are not valid directories,
but only if they contain colons.
However, the warning was a false positive because we would split
those values by colons anyway. So there is nothing left we want to
warn about.
Fixes#8095
sigint2 would hang (probably because of different semantics in signal
delivery?)
wcstod isn't implemented correctly, so math can't do hex numbers.
OpenBSD only passes the filename as argv[0] and doesn't give us another feature I know of, so status fish-path can't work.
* Try to set LC_CTYPE to something UTF-8 capable
When fish is started with LC_CTYPE=C (even just effectively, often via
LC_ALL=C!), it's basically broken. There's no way to handle non-ASCII
characters with a C locale unless we want to write our
locale-independent replacements for all of the system functions.
Since we're not going to do that, let's try to find *some locale* for
LC_CTYPE.
We already do that in __fish_setlocale, but that's
- a bit of a weird thing that reads unstandardized system
configuration files
- allows setting locale to C explicitly
So it's still easily possible to end up in a broken configuration.
Now, the issue with this is that there is (AFAICT) no portable way to
get a list of all allowed locales and C.UTF-8 is not standardized, so
we have no one locale to fall back on and are forced to try a few. The
list we have here is quite arbitrary, but it's a start.
Python does something similar and only tries C.UTF-8, C.utf8 and
"UTF-8".
Once C.UTF-8 is (hopefully) standardized, that will just start
working (tm).
Note that we do not *export* the fixed LC_CTYPE variable, so external
programs still have to deal with the C locale, but we have no real
business messing with the user's environment.
To turn it off: $fish_allow_singlebyte_locale, if set to something true (like "1"),
will re-run the locale initialization and skip the bit where we force
LC_CTYPE to be utf8-capable.
This is mainly used in our tests, but might also be useful if people
are trying to do something weird.
The hope is that the noshebang test was fixed on old glibc
through e74b9d53df. Revert the previous optimistic attempts to
fix these through adding sleeps and subshells.
This reverts commit b3da0bd5a2.
This reverts commit 8a86d3452f.
This is an attempt to solve the test failures on Launchpad's CI.
I'm assuming when we do a redirection like
foo > file
and then try to execute `file` immediately afterwards, we either
haven't written it soon enough or closed the file, so we get a "text
file busy" error.
So, when we do that in a new fish the file should be closed once it
quits.
See #8021.
When you try to execute a file directly after you've written to it,
you might, on some systems, get a "text file busy" error.
So we unfortunately have to sleep to avoid it.
See #8021 for where this was added,
537b3f6cb1 for the same problem.
Now that `$last_pid` is never fish's pid, we no longer need to force
jobs to run in their own pgroup. Restore the job control behavior to
what it was prior, so that signals may be delivered properly in
non-interactive mode.
This reverts commit 3255999794
Prior to this change, a function with an on-job-exit event handler must be
added with the pgid of the job. But sometimes the pgid of the job is fish
itself (if job control is disabled) and the previous commit made last_pid
an actual pid from the job, instead of its pgroup.
Switch on-job-exit to accept any pid from the job (except fish itself).
This allows it to be used directly with $last_pid, except that it now
works if job control is off. This is implemented by "resolving" the pid to
the internal job id at the point the event handler is added.
Also switch to passing the last pid of the job, rather than its pgroup.
This aligns better with $last_pid.
It is possible to run a function when a process exits via `function
--on-process-exit`, or when a job exits via `function --on-job-exits`.
Internally these were distinguished by the pid in the event: if it was
positive, then it was a process exit. If negative, it represents a pgid
and is a job exit. If zero, it fires for both jobs and processes, which is
pretty weird.
Switch to tracking these explicitly. Separate out the --on-process-exit
and --on-job-exit event types into separate types. Stop negating pgids as
well.
This switches builtin_wait from waiting on jobs in the active job list, to
waiting on the wait handles. The wait handles may be either derived from
the job list itself, or from saved wait handles from jobs that exited in
the background.
Fixes#7210
Prior to this fix, an escaped character like \x41 (hex for ascii A)
was interpreted the same was as A, so that $\x41 would be the same
as $A. Fix this by inserting an INTERNAL_SEPARATOR before these escapes,
so that we no longer treat it as part of the variable name.
This also affects brackets; don't treat echo $foo\1331\135 the same as
echo $foo[1].
Fixes#7969
Just add some extra sleep time so it hopefully also works when the
CI system is overloaded. This succeeded >60 times in the CI, without
a single failure.
In case it legitimately fails again, we should provide simple steps
to reproduce the failure interactively (using "tmux attach").
The uvar issue only triggered because two fish are started - one is
running the tmux-complete script, the other one is running inside tmux.
We could reduce the complexity of this test by writing it in a
different language, like sh or python.
Reproducible at least on Linux, where the "named pipe" universal
variable notifier is used:
rm -rf build/test/xdg_config
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=build/test/xdg_config ./build/fish -c "xterm -e ./build/fish"
The child fish reacts to keyboard input with a noticeable initial
delay. This is because the universal variable file is polled over
a million times, even when I immediately press Control-D. This polling
prevents readb() from handling keyboard input.
Before commit 939aba02d ("Refactor input_common.cpp:readb"), readb()
reacted to keyboard input even when there were universal variable
notifications. Restore this behavior, but make sure to call the
universal variable notifier after the new "prepare_to_select" logic.
Maybe the problem is in the notifier but the old behavior was sane.
Fixes the problems described in
7a556ec6f2 (commitcomment-49773677)
Adding "-d uvars-file" to the reproducesr shows that we are checking
the uvar file repeatedly:
uvar-file: universal log sync
uvar-file: universal log sync elided based on fast stat()
uvar-file: universal log no modifications
This only uses the functions fish ships with, but still doesn't allow
any *customization*, which is the point of no-config.
This makes it a lot more usable, given that the actual normal prompt
and things are there.
This still doesn't set any colors, because we don't run
__fish_config_interactive because we don't read config.fish (any
config.fish), because that would run the snippets.
