Most importantly, binaries produced from this version don’t link to http-parser (or at least they didn’t when I tried it), so the Vagrantfile doesn’t need to configure the custom version of it.
Fixes#517. The commit in zoneinfo-compiled fixes a bug where missing flags in the tzinfo file were making it crash instead of being treated as 0 values.
The datetime crate used to bring in a lot more crates as dependencies (datetime#ce7d12adc5f65519c8290f1bce2eb77fca44f460), but now does not. The version increase also fixes#301.
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.
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.
This merges in exa’s own new options parser, which has the following features:
- You can specify an option twice and it’ll use the second one, making aliases usable for defaults (fixes#144)
- Lets arguments be specified more than once (fixes#125)
Strict mode is not done yet; I just wanted to merge this in because it’s been a while, and there’s work that needs to be done on master so I don’t want them drifting apart any further.
It’s likely that you’ll find cases where multiple arguments doesn’t work or where the wrong value is being used. There aren’t tests for *everything* yet, and it still uses global environment variables.
# Conflicts:
# src/options/view.rs
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.
See #97 and recently #130 too.
This allows the user to pass in options such as "--ignore '*.pyc'" to not list any files ending in '.pyc' in the output. It uses the Rust glob crate and currently does a simple split on pipe, without any escaping, so it’s not really *complete*, but is at least something.
This commit removes the 'main' function present in main.rs, renames it to exa.rs, and puts the 'main' function in its own binary. This, I think, makes it more clear how the program works and where the main entry point is.
Librarification also means that we can start testing as a whole. Two tests have been added that test everything, passing in raw command-line arguments then comparing against the binary coloured text that gets produced.
Casualties include having to specifically mark some code blocks in documentation as 'tests', as rustdoc kept on trying to execute my ANSI art.
Thinking about it, it doesn't make sense to use an *external* time zone source when the program we want to compare it to, ls, uses the system one. So just use the system one.
Also, handle the case where the time zone data file can't be loaded by showing the files in UTC rather than falling over and quitting.
- Users v0.5.1, which renames OSUsers to UsersCache
- Locale v0.2, which returns to libc v0.1
- Datetime v0.4.2, which mimics the locale update, and puts timezone definitions in:
- Zoneinfo-data, which is needed to obtain the current timezone
A recent change to ansi-term [1] means that `ANSIString`s can now hold either
owned *or* borrowed data (Rust calls this the Cow type). This means that we
can delay formatting ANSIStrings into ANSI-control-code-formatted strings
until it's absolutely necessary. The process for doing this was:
1. Replace the `Cell` type with a `TextCell` type that holds a vector of
`ANSIString` values instead of a formatted string. It still does the
width tracking.
2. Rework the details module's `render` functions to emit values of this
type.
3. Similarly, rework the functions that produce cells containing filenames
to use a `File` value's `name` field, which is an owned `String` that
can now be re-used.
4. Update the printing, formatting, and width-calculating code in the
details and grid-details views to produce a table by adding vectors
together instead of adding strings together, delaying the formatting as
long as it can.
This results in fewer allocations (as fewer `String` values are produced), and
makes the API tidier (as fewer `String` values are being passed around without
having their contents specified).
This also paves the way to Windows support, or at least support for
non-ANSI terminals: by delaying the time until strings are formatted,
it'll now be easier to change *how* they are formatted.
Casualties include:
- Bump to ansi_term v0.7.1, which impls `PartialEq` and `Debug` on
`ANSIString`.
- The grid_details and lines views now need to take a vector of files, rather
than a borrowed slice, so the filename cells produced now own the filename
strings that get taken from files.
- Fixed the signature of `File#link_target` to specify that the
file produced refers to the same directory, rather than some phantom
directory with the same lifetime as the file. (This was wrong from the
start, but it broke nothing until now)

One of those two date formats was re-compiled before any date was displayed. Now they are compiled only the first time they're used, and cached versions are used thereafter, resulting in a speedup.
Changes to the way ANSIStrings work mean we need to dereference the strings before putting them in an ANSIString. There's more that can be done here, but this gets it to compile for now.
