- Two different repositories being queried at once
- The same one being queried twice, at different depths
- Tests for --tree and --recurse that should break in the future when that’s implemented
- Also just more tests in general
This adds support for the EXA_COLORS environment variable, and defines a bunch of exa-specific two-letter codes that I pretty much made up arbitrarily that control parts of the interface.
Fixes#160, which I didn’t expect to actually fix this release cycle, but it unexpectedly became easy to do!
This commit meddles about with both the Colours and the FileExtensions.
Even though all the renderable fields were turned into traits, the FileName struct kept on accessing fields directly on the Colours value instead of calling methods on it. It also did the usual amount of colour misappropriation (such as ‘punctuation’ instead of specifying ‘normal_arrow’)
In preparation for when custom file colours are configurable (any day now), the colourise-file-by-kind functionality (links, sockets, or directories) was separated from the colourise-file-by-name functionality (images, videos, archives). The FileStyle struct already allowed for both to be separate; it was only changed so that a type other than FileExtensions could be used instead, as long as it implements the FileColours trait. (I feel like I should re-visit the naming of all these at some point in the future)
The decision to separate the two means that FileExtensions is the one assigning the colours, rather than going through the fields on a Colours value, which have all been removed. This is why a bunch of arbitrary Styles now exist in filetype.rs.
Because the decision on which colourise-file-by-name code to use (currently just the standard extensions, or nothing if we aren’t colourising) is now determined by the Colours type (instead of being derived), it’s possible to get it wrong. And wrong it was! There was a bug where file names were colourised even though the rest of the --long output wasn’t, and this wasn’t caught by the xtests. It is now.
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.
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)
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.
This commit modifies a specific file timestamp so we test both July (which is 5 characters in French) and December (which is 4 characters in Japanese). It’s also kind of a test for locales as well.
This commit removes the dependency on the ‘getopts’ crate entirely, and re-writes all its uses to use the new options parser instead.
As expected there are casualties galore:
- We now need to collect the options into a vector at the start, so we can use references to them, knowing they’ll be stored *somewhere*.
- Because OsString isn’t Display, its Debug impl gets used instead. (This is hopefully temporary)
- Options that take values (such as ‘sort’ or ‘time-style’) now parse those values with ‘to_string_lossy’. The ‘lossy’ part means “I’m at a loss for what to do here”
- Error messages got a lot worse, but “--tree --all --all” is now a special case of error rather than just another Misfire::Useless.
- Some tests had to be re-written to deal with the fact that the parser works with references.
- ParseError loses its lifetime and owns its contents, to avoid having to attach <'a> to Misfire.
- The parser now takes an iterator instead of a slice.
- OsStrings can’t be ‘match’ patterns, so the code devolves to using long Eq chains instead.
- Make a change to the xtest that assumed an input argument with invalid UTF-8 in was always an error to stderr, when that now in fact works!
- Fix a bug in Vagrant where ‘exa’ and ‘rexa’ didn’t properly escape filenames with spaces in.
There was a bug where if you tried to recurse into a directory you didn’t have permission to read the contents of, the error would be ignored.
It now displays the errors.
It now tests a lot more combinations of xattrs on files, as well as xattrs and files and errors as the children of directories.
The recent code changes have touched the part where directories’ xattrs and children are displayed at the same tree level, and there weren’t enough tests for this.
This is going to be used to test time formatting.
Casualty here is that the “have you not ran the provisioning script in a year?” checker complained about there being files more than a year old, so that now has to ignore the times directory.
This isn’t perfect, as a file’s type isn’t cached, so it gets recomputed for every comparison in the sort! We can’t go off the file’s `st_mode` flag because it’s not guaranteed to be in any order between systems.
There was a problem when displaying . and .. in directory listings: their names would normalise to actual names! So instead of literally seeing `.`, you’d see the current directory’s name, inserted in sort order into the list of results. Obviously this is not what we want.
In unrelated news, putting `.` and `..` into the list of paths read from a directory just takes up more heap space for something that’s basically constant.
We can solve both these problems at once by moving the DotFilter to the files iterator in Dir, rather than at the Dir’s creation. Having the iterator know whether it should display `.` and `..` means it can emit those files first, and because it knows what those files really represent, it can override their file names to actually be those sequences of dots.
This is not a perfect solution: the main casualty is that a File can now be constructed with a name, some metadata, both, or neither. This is currently handled with a bunch of Options, and returns IOResult even without doing any IO operations.
But at least all the tests pass!
exa assumed that the COLUMNS environment variable being present always meant that the output was to a terminal, so it should use colours. But because this variable can be overridden, colours were being incorrectly set!
The ‘fix’ is to stop trying to be clever while only calculating the terminal width once, and instead just stick it in a lazy_static so it’s usable everywhere.
Finally, re-do the permissions extended tests to include the setuid, setgid, and sticky bits, and rename the last two existing ones to match the others (files with the same names as their permissions).
Override the size column for block and charater devices, so it shows the major and minor device IDs instead (which are in the Metadata struct somewhere).
This is what ls does when faced with a device.
By parsing OsStrings rather than Strings, it’s the getopts crate that’s doing the UTF-8 checking rather than us, so if one of them isn’t valid, it’ll just fail to parse rather than crash exa.
Also, save a few allocations here and there.
Fixes#134, a bug that showed symlinks incorrectly as broken, but only when the file was listed directly on the command-line *and* the file was in a different directory to the one exa was being run in.
I’m not sure why the old code used `String::new()`, but it doesn’t seem to affect anything.
