Selectively reverts 156d4fb9b9.
`all-the-package-names` is still used to generate completions for `npm`
if it is installed, but it is not manually installed nor updated. It is
now the user's responsibility to do both, and it must be installed
globally.
This relies on the new `read --line/-L` support as an entire parser for
the output of `./configure --help` was written in fishscript. Also
doesn't work without 72f32e6d8a7905b064680ec4b578c41dea62bf84.
The completion script is slow... a function of both the autotools
configure script itself being written in a shell script combined with a
fishscript output parser.
fish's own `./configure --help` takes around 350ms to execute, while
`__fish_parse_configure ./configure` (which runs that behind the scenes)
takes around 660ms to run, all-in-all - a not insignificant overhead.
Output can be cached (based off of ./configure hash or mtime) in the
future if this is a big deal.
This removes the caret as a shorthand for redirecting stderr.
Note that stderr may be redirected to a file via 2>/some/path...
and may be redirected with a pipe via 2>|.
Fixes#4394
Variables set in if and while conditions are in the enclosing block, not
the if/while statement block. For example:
if set -l var (somecommand) ; end
echo $var
will now work as expected.
Fixes#4820. Fixes#1212.
Removed misleading statement about read requiring an argument, as the
note about read's new behavior when no arguments are provided covers
that and is less confusing.
Now parses package.json and uses results to provide a list of possible
completions to `yarn remove`. There may be other subcommands that could
benefit from this.
Could have parsed yarn output, but yarn is slow and packages.json format
is generally standard since it's machine-generated json.
This enables some limited use of arguments for wrapping completions. The
simplest example is that complete gco -w 'git checkout' now works like
you would want: `gco <tab>` now invokes git's completions with the
`checkout` argument prepended.
Fixes#1976
`argparse`, `read`, `set`, `status`, `test` and `[` now can't be used
as function names anymore.
This is because (except for `test` and `[`) there is no way to wrap these properly, so any
function called that will be broken anyway.
For `test` (and `[`), there is nothing that can be added and there
have been confused users who created a function that then broke
everything.
Fixes#3000.
The previous attempt to support newlines after pipes changed the lexer to
swallow newlines after encountering a pipe. This has two problems that are
difficult to fix:
1. comments cannot be placed after the pipe
2. fish_indent won't know about the newlines, so it will erase them
Address these problems by removing the lexer behavior, and replacing it
with a new parser symbol "optional_newlines" allowing the newlines to be
reflected directly in the fish grammar.
Properly escape literal tildes in tab completion results. Currently we
always escape tildes in unquoted arguments; in the future we may escape
only leading tildes.
Fixes#2274
This special cases expansion of $history variables, so that slicing
history no longer needs to construct the entire history array. Speedup
is around 100x in my test.
Fixes#4650
Prior to this fix, if the user typed normal characters while the
completion pager was shown, it would begin searching. This feature was
not well liked, so we are going to instead just append the characters as
normal and disable paging. Control-S can be used to toggle the search
field.
Fixes#2249
Some dotfile users like to add directories to PATH that point at
non-existent directories (because those directories exist on other
machines). Stop warning in that case, unless those directories contain
a colon, in which case it's probably a user error.
Prior to this fix, a "bare variable" in math like 'x + 1' would be
looked up in the environment, i.e. equivalent to '$x + 1'. This appears
to have been done for performance. However this breaks the orthogonality
of fish; performance is not a sufficient justification to give math this
level of built-in power, especially because the performance of math is
not a bottleneck. The implementation is also ugly.
Remove this feature so that variables must be prefixed with the dollar
sign and undergo normal variable expansion. Reading 'git grep' output
does not show any uses of this in fish functions or completions.
Also added to changelog.
Fixes#4393
