* Obsolete code for included tests has been removed
* The engine uses a proper lexer and is much simplified
* An inline test in the middle of the file now only "sees" the file up to that
point. This fixes an issue where we had spurious errors when a type error was
added at the end of a file, and it would pop up in tests before it. This makes
files including many tests much more practical.
* diffing and resetting the tests has been reintroduced (done at the moment in
Ninja, but for more control (count number of failed tests, etc.) we could put it
back into Clerk at some point
* The Catala CLI can now take an input from stdin (with the possibility to link
a (possibly fake) on-disk file for error reporting and file locations ; this
is useful for running tests)
- Use separate functions for successive passes in module `Driver.Passes`
- Use other functions for end results printing in module `Driver.Commands`
As a consequence, it is much more flexible to use by plugins or libs and we no
longer need the complex polymorphic variant parameter.
This patch leverages previous changes to use Cmdliner subcommands and
effectively specialises the flags of each Catala subcommand.
Other changes include:
- an attempt to normalise the generic options and reduce the number of global
references. Some are ok, like `debug` ; some would better be further cleaned up,
e.g. the ones used by Proof backend were moved to a `Proof.globals` module and
need discussion. The printer no longer relies on the global languages and prints
money amounts in an agnostic way.
- the plugin directory is automatically guessed and loaded even in dev setups.
Plugins are shown by the main `catala` command and listed in `catala --help`
- exception catching at the toplevel has been refactored a bit as well; return
codes are normalised to follow the manpage and avoid codes >= 128 that are
generally reserved for shells.
Update tests
Define a single expression rule with disambiguation using token priorities
instead of the many layers of intermediate rules with explicit sub-terms.
Also replaces `in` for collection operations (`x+1 for foo in [1;2]`) with
`among` which helps a lot.
Command used: `sed -i 's/\([-+*/><=]=\?\)[.$@^€$]/\1/g' **/*/*.catala_*`
The overload test, of course, is kept unchanged and ensures that explicit
operators still work.
This uses the same disambiguation mechanism put in place for
structures, calling the typer on individual rules on the desugared AST
to propagate types, in order to resolve ambiguous operators like `+`
to their strongly typed counterparts (`+!`, `+.`, `+$`, `+@`, `+$`) in
the translation to scopelang.
The patch includes some normalisation of the definition of all the
operators, and classifies them based on their typing policy instead of
their arity. It also adds a little more flexibility:
- a couple new operators, like `-` on date and duration
- optional type annotation on some aggregation constructions
The `Shared_ast` lib is also lightly restructured, with the `Expr`
module split into `Type`, `Operator` and `Expr`.
Some typing errors are changed a little, because they get triggered during the
typing of the disambiguation pass, which does not specify the expected return
type (it's an expected invariant that it should not be needed for
disambiguation).
It would be possible to still specify these types during disambiguation just to
get the same errors, but since the newer ones don't appear to be clearly worse
at the moment, it has not been done.
Normally I would make sure this is not by default, or at leat disableable; but
here the code we print may contain utf8 anyway, so the terminal really needs to
support it. Anyway, it's just a little fancier, doesn't add much.
a quick fix for now, ideally we want an option for editor-friendly output.
But for now this is a very cheap way to at least have clickable error messages
which are a big time-saver.
This is a workaround (but corresponds to what was executed before) and means
that we re-explore all exprs to look for free variables.
The proper fix will be to store boxed_exprs inside scopes instead.
These are just variable renumberings, and type error message changes but still
pointing to the same information; the latter are slightly better in general,
pointing to actual expressions rather than scope declarations.
I removed the '.out' extension for now to preserve the test output file names and avoid a million file renames.
This makes the patch easier to read, and we can do the rename easily in another patch afterwards, without mixing with semantic changes.
(beautiful script àlarrache:
```bash
for f in */*/output/*; do
target_base=${f##*/}
target_base=${target_base%%.*}
echo $f | awk -F. '{
f=$1"."$2; if ($4 == "") { mode=$3; id=$3 } else { scope="-s "$3; mode=$4; id=$3"."$4}
printf "\n```catala-test {id=\"%s\"}\ncatala %s %s\n```\n",id,mode,scope;
