Every time I had to build exa, I copied the files manually and checked to make sure they all had the same name. There’s now a script that does all that stuff for me, so I don’t need to remember to do it anymore.
It also does some things that weren’t being done before, including stripping the binary and listing its linked dependencies to we can tell if something like libhttp_parser has slipped in there (see #194)
This was touched on in #209 where I got the docs wrong compared to the actual implementation, but after thinking about it, I’d like to switch it round. (The --sort=Name and --sort=name difference has also been switched.) See the big ol’ comment for my reasons.
Because this changes core functionality, it broke many, many tests. You can see that this doesn’t change the -star- tests because the shell, rather than exa, orders the globbed files.
I kept on forgetting which way round Sensitive and Insensitive went, so I named them after the effect they have.
The Debug impl was being used instead of the Display one. Also, remove the full stops from the ends of all the error messages because I’ve decided it looks weird.
The error in #178 was being hidden from output most of the time, and because exa isn’t a GUI program, there’s nowhere it can really dump log output like this. Now that users can opt in with the EXA_DEBUG variable, there is a place it can go.
Also stop the ERROR log level being printed by default.
I want to be very careful when doing the “--git and --tree don’t work together” one to not search for more Git repositories than I should. Being able to log when a repository is looked up and also switch that functionality on and off would help with that.
Just because the type that gets used right now is Copy and Clone doesn’t mean that when we pass mock ones in for tests they’ll be those two as well. So we have to go through and add &s everywhere.
No new features here, just some restructuring. Mode::GridDetails was nice and elegant with those two fields, but now there’s a grid-details-only option the elegance has gone out the window.
Yeah, I forgot what I was meant to be doing half-way through.
This also adds the row_threshold field, which disables the view unless there will be more than the given number of rows. Getting the row count required upgrading term_grid to a version that has that function added.
Previously the iterator went all the way through `2..`, and not only would that take a very long time, but at the end it wouldn’t even print anything. Now the grid-details view turns into a lines view when it’s hit its limit.
exa now ignores errors when checking for extended attributes when the user didn’t explicitly demand that they be checked. If a file does have xattrs, it’ll still display the @ in the permissions column; errors will now just cause the @ to be hidden instead.
This changed a lot of the xtests, which were displaying the error message in a few situations. Those tests have gained @-suffixed companions so the actual error messages can still be tested.
Fixes#178 (finally)
This adds a check for the EXA_STRICT environment variable, and uses it to put exa in a strict mode, which enables more checks for useless/redundant arguments.
Its other goal was to move all the option parsing tests out of options/mod.rs and into the files where they’re actually relevant. THIS IS NOT YET DONE and I’ll have to do some more work on this prior to release to clear up the last few lingering issues. There are almost certainly going to be cases where redundant arguments are still complained about (or ignored) by mistake.
But I want to get this branch merged so I can take care of some other stuff for the next release.
It’s a good test to be able to switch strict mode on in run.sh and not have it break anything! Now, the EXA_STRICT environment variable will toggle it on. We can even switch it off and see that it doesn’t error.
Some of the deduce functions used to just blatantly call std::env::var_os and not care, introducing global state into a module that was otherwise nice and functional and self-contained. (Well, almost. There’s still terminal width.)
Anyway, this made it hard to test, because we couldn’t test it fully with this global dependency in place. It *is* possible to work around this by actually setting the environment variables in the tests, but this way is more self-documenting.
With this in place, we can start to unit test things like deriving the view by passing in what the $COLUMNS environment variable should be, and that’s one of the first things checked.
src/options/mod.rs *almost* has all its tests moved to where they should be!
Sometimes, the type in the Ok part of the Result wouldn’t implement PartialEq, so the first macro (which uses assert_eq) won’t work. In these cases, this new macro can be used instead, which just unwraps the Err’s contents. In other cases, it can shave off a ) at the end of a few lines.
The table Options struct is roughly half runtime configuration and half flags to select which columns to display The column fields might as well be in their own struct, and now that the ‘for_dir’ function doesn’t use SizeFormat, it can be moved to Columns.
Way in the past, the size format was the only variable column; the others were all fixed. Now there are many configurable columns and this field was still hanging around. The code that does the rendering just gets the size format as an argument, and now it works the same way as the TimeFormat.
This changes the SizeFormat option parser from its old, strict-by-default behaviour (where passing both --bytes and --binary would be an error) to the new, use-the-last-argument behaviour (where passing --bytes --binary would use --binary because it came later).
Doing this meant adding functionality to Matches so that it could return *which* argument matched. Previously, the order of --bytes and --binary didn’t matter, because they couldn’t both be present, but now it does.
The assert_parses function was problematic because it insisted on using assert_eq! to check its contents. This won’t work for any type we want to test that doesn’t implement PartialEq, such as TimeFormat, which holds references to years and date strings and other such.
To go about fixing this, the first step is to change that function so it only does the initial processing, rather than the assertion, which is now done outside of it in the test macros instead.
Now the code actually starts to use the Strictness flag that was added in the earlier commit! Well, the *code* doesn’t, but the tests do: the macros that create the test cases now have a parameter for which tests they should run. It’s usually ‘Both’ for both strict mode and default mode, but can be specified to only run in one, for when the results differ (usually when options override one another)
The downside to strict mode is that, now, *any* call to `matches.has` or `matches.get` could fail, because an option could have been specified twice, and this is the place where those are checked for. This makes the code a little less ergonomic in places, but that’s what the ? operator is for. The only place this has really had an effect is in `Classify::deduce`, which used to just return a boolean but can now fail.
In order to more thoroughly test the mode, some of the older parts of the code can now act more strict. For example, `TerminalColours::deduce` will now use the last-given option rather than searching for “colours” before “colors”.
Help and Version continue doing their own thing.
