* Rewrite the real file if history file is a symlink
When the history file is a symbolic link, `fish` used to overwrite
the link with a real file whenever it saved history. This makes
it follow the symlink and overwrite the real file instead.
The same issue was fixed for the `fish_variables` file in 622f2868e
from https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/pull/7728.
This makes `fish_history` behave in the same way. The implementation
is nearly identical.
Since the tests for the two issues are so similar, I combined them
together and slightly expanded the older test.
This also addresses https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/7553.
* Add user-facing error when history renaming fails
Currently, when history file renaming fails, no message is shown to the
user. This happens, for instance, if the history file is a symlink
pointing to another filesystem.
This copies code (with a bit of variation, after reviewer comments) from
589eb34571/src/env_universal_common.cpp (L486-L491)
into `history.cpp`, so that a message is shown to the user.
* fixup! Rewrite the real file if history file is a symlink
When `fish` is running in the Chrome OS Linux VM (Crostini),
both `help` and `fish_config` opened a "file not found"
page. That is because on Crostini, `BROWSER` is usually set to
`garcon-url-handler`, which opens URLs in the host OS Chrome
browser. That browser lacks access to the Linux file system.
This commit fixes these commands. `help` now opens the URL on
www.fishshell.com. `fish_config` now opens the URL for the
server it starts. Previously, it opened a local file that
redirects to the same URL.
In the case of `help`, the situation could be improved further
by starting a web server to serve help. I don't know of another
way to access `/share/fish` from outside the VM without user
intervention, and I think that might be a part of the security
model for the Crostini VM.
It's hard to write a test for this. I checked that `help math`,
`python2 webconfig.py`, and `python3 webconfig.py` work on my
machine running in Crostini.
In this context, as it stands, $last_pid will give fish's pid (because
of pgroup shenanigans).
Since that doesn't really work, just `disown` without and let fish
figure out what the last process was.
Theoretically this has an issue if someone started a background
process *before* the python script *and* that exits before we run
disown.
That's a vanishingly small window and this is only run on first start,
so it seems acceptable.
Fixes#7739.
Apparently the fix for #6269 doesn't work until we set job-control to
full, which we won't do for this release.
So just drop it from the CHANGELOG.
See #7739.
The user may write for example:
echo foo >&5
and fish would try to output to file descriptor 5, within the fish process
itself. This has unpredictable effects and isn't useful. Make this an
error.
Note that the reverse is "allowed" but ignored:
echo foo 5>&1
this conceptually dup2s stdout to fd 5, but since no builtin writes to fd
5 we ignore it.
Similar to what fish_indent does. After typing "echo \" and hitting return,
the cursor will be indented.
A possible annoyance is that when you have multiple indented lines
echo 1 \
2 \
3 \
4 \
If you remove lines in the middle with Control-k, the lines below
the deleted one will start jumping around, as they are disconnected
from and reconnected to "echo".
If a variable is undefined, but it looks like it will be defined by the
current command line, assume the user knows what they are doing.
This should cover most real-world occurrences.
Closes#6654
When pasting a multiline command with indented blocks, extra indentation
from spaces, or tabs, is generally undesirable, because fish already indents
pipes and blocks. Discard the indentation unless the cursor or the pasted
part is inside quotes.
Users who copied fish_clipboard_paste need to update it because
__fish_commandline_is_singlequoted had an API change and was renamed.
After commit 6dd6a57c60, 3 remaining
builtins were affected by uint8_t overflow: `exit`, `return`, and
`functions --query`.
This commit:
- Moves the overflow check from `builtin_set_query` to `builtin_run`.
- Removes a conflicting int -> uint8_t conversion in `builtin_return`.
- Adds tests for the 3 remaining affected builtins.
- Simplifies the wording for the documentation for `set --query`.
- Does not change documentation for `functions --query`, because it does
not state the exit code in its API.
- Updates the CHANGELOG to reflect the change to all builtins.
Prior to this fix, if stdin were explicitly closed, then builtins would
silently fail. For example:
count <&-
would just fail with status 1. Remove this limitation and allow each
builtin to handle a closed stdin how it sees fit.
builtin_set_query returns the number of missing variables. Because the
return value passed to the shell is an 8-bit unsigned integer, if the
number of missing variables is a multiple of 256, it would overflow to 0.
This commit saturates the return value at 255 if there are more than 255
missing variables.

Some third party Git tools provide a man page, which we can at least use
for completing options.
The old logic excluded all generated completions for Git subcommands.
Instead, try to load completions for all available external subcommands.
We can use $PATH/git-* because /bin/git-add and friends were removed in Git
1.6.0 in 2008.
Closes#4358 (the "git-foo" wrapping was added in #7652)
Since #7075, git-foo.fish files are sourced when Git completions are loaded.
However, at least Cobra (CLI framework for Go) provides completions like
complete git-foo ...
This means that completions are only offered when typing "git-foo <TAB>"
and not on "git foo <TAB>". Fix this by forwarding the completion requests.
Take care to only forward if there are actually completions for "git-foo",
to avoid adding filename completions.
It also reflows.
We might want to think about doing something more extensible here, as
konsole is also about to add reflow, but for now the main problem
children here are VTE and alacritty.
Extends #7491.
Prior to this change, a glob like `**/file.txt` would only match
`file.txt` in subdirectories; the `**` must match at least one directory.
This is historical behavior.
With this change we move a little closer to bash's implementation by
allowing a literal `**` segment to match in the current directory. That
is, `**/foo` will match both `foo` and `bar/foo`, while `b**/foo` will
only match `bar/foo`.
Fixes#7222.
Prior to this change, if fish were launched connected to a tty but not as
pgroup leader, it would attempt to become pgroup leader only if
--interactive is explicitly passed. But bash will unconditionally attempt
to become pgroup leader if launched interactively. This can result in
scenarios where fish is running interactively but in another pgroup. The
most obvious impact is that control-C will result in the pgroup leader
(not fish) exiting and make fish orphaned.
Switch to matching the bash behavior here - we will always try to become
pgroup leader if interactive.
Fixes#7060.
"smartcase" performs case-insensitive matching if the input string is all
lowercase, and case-sensitive matching otherwise. When completing e.g.
files, we will now show both case sensitive and insensitive completions if
the input string does not contain uppercase characters.
This is a delicate fix in an interactive component with low test coverage.
It's likely something will regress here.
Fixes#3978
When fish presents an autosuggestion, there is some logic around whether
to retain it or discard it as the user types "into" it. Prior to this
change, we would retain the autosuggestion if the user's input text is a
case-insensitive prefix of the autosuggestion. This is reasonable for
certain case-insensitive autosuggestions like files, but it is confusing
especially for history items, e.g. `git branch -d ...` and `git branch -D
...` should not be considered a match.
With this change, when we compute the autosuggestion we record whether it
is "icase", and that controls whether the autosuggestion permits a
case-insensitive extension.
This addresses part of #3978.
The builtin-buffering thing is huge and should be early in the big
ticket items, the performance improvement to completion of commands is
cool but not all that important.
[ci skip]
jobs -p %1 prints all processes in the first job.
fg is special because it only takes one argument. Using the last process
in the pipeline works for the cases I can think of.
Fixes#7406
These aliases seem to be common, see #7389 and others. This prevents
recursion on that example, so `alias ssh "env TERM=screen ssh"` will just
have the same completions as ssh.
Checking the last token is a heuristic which hopefully works for most
cases. Users are encouraged to use functions instead of aliases.
