I read through every file and applied a couple of rustfmt suggestions. The brace placement and alignment of items on similar lines has been made consistent, even if neither are rustfmt's default style (a file has been put in place to enforce this). Other changes are:
• Alphabetical imports and modules
• Comma placement at the end of match blocks
• Use newlines and indentation judiciously
• Spaces around associated types
• Spaces after negations (it makes it more clear imho)
• Comment formatting
• Use early-returns and Optional `?` where appropriate
This commit makes changes to the way variables are referenced:
• Make types Copy when possible
• Make methods take `self` instead of `&self` where possible (trivially_copy_pass_by_ref)
• Remove unnecessary borrowing (needless_ref)
• Remove unnecessary cloning (clone_on_copy)
• Remove `ref` from match arms where possible (new Rust match ergonomics)
This commit uses Clippy to fix all the 'use_self' warnings. Using Self instead of the type name has been good Rust style for a while now, and it's become the style I'm used to seeing.
I changed my mind about which way round sorting by “newest” or by “oldest” should actually go. If you’re listing a large directory, you see the last lines of the output first, so these files should be the ones with the largest whatever the sort field is. It’s about sorting *last*, not sorting *first*. Sorting by size wouldn’t say “sorts smallest files first”, it would say “sorts largest files last”. Right?
Also, add a new suggestion that warns against “ls -lt”.
This commit changes the definition of Arg so that it knows about which values it can accept, and can display them in the help text. They were already being shown in the help text, but they were passed in separately, so one argument could show two different sets of options if it wanted. Now, the argument itself knows whether there are suggestions, so it doesn’t have to be passed in separately.
This means we can use it for other things, including listing choices when an option is missed out, without having to repeat the list.
With Misfire::BadArgument now only having two fields, it’s not worth using a constructor function anymore.
Raised in #243 and #284. exa isn’t able to override the -t option like this, so the least it can do is detect that case (which is going to be an error case anyway) and show a suggestion.
It said “(Choices: (choices: this, that, other))” instead of “(choices: this, that, other)”. Also improve the same error elsewhere: options more have ‘settings’ than ‘values’.
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.
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.
Now it’s more like help. There aren’t any other fields in its struct at the moment, but there will be in the future (listing the features, and extremely colourful vanity mode)
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.
This makes it possible to use them in scripts. Also, I couldn’t find any other program returned a different error code! So it’s being changed to 0.
Fixed#180.
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.
Now when you do `--sort time` instead of saying "unknown option --sort
time" it will say "unknown options '--sort time' (choices: name...)"
with all legal options.
This also adds the legal values to the default help text.
The original options was becoming a bit unwieldy, and would have been even more so if I added the same amount of comments. So this commit splits it up.
There's no extra hiding going on here, or rearranging things within the module: (almost) everything now has to be marked 'pub' to let other sub-modules in the new options module to see it.
