Command server is designed to use the channel protocol even if the server
process is accessible to tty, whereas vanilla hg should be able to read
password from tty in that case. So it isn't enough to swap sys.stdin:
# works only if the server process is detached from the console
sys.stdin = self.fin
getpass.getpass('')
sys.stdin = oldin
or test isatty:
# vanilla hg can't talk to tty if stdin is redirected
if self._isatty(self.fin):
return getpass.getpass('')
else:
...
Since ui.nontty flag is undocumented and command-server channels don't provide
isatty(), this change won't affect the other uses of ui._isatty().
issue3161 also suggests to provide some context of messages. I think it can
be implemented by using the generic templating function.
Typical use case is to clone repository through command server. Clone may
require user interaction, so command-server protocol is beneficial over
raw stdio channels.
"hg help" does not state that the code for abort is 255, but it's confusing
to have different code between hg command and command server.
Tests of python-hglib 1.2 passed with this change.
MQ extension will wrap this function to invalidate its state.
repo.invalidate cannot be wrapped for this purpose because qpush obtains
repo.lock in the middle of the operation, triggering repo.invalidate. Also,
it seems wrong to obtain lock earlier because mq data is non-store parts.
Copying a repos local configuration to another repo is a bad idea because the
2nd repo gets the configuration of the first. Prevent this by really calling
repo.baseui.copy when repo.ui.copy is called.
This requires some changes in commandserver which needs to clone repo.ui for
rejecting temporary changes.
This patch has its roots back in the topic "repo isolation" around 68ae3063a47d
and was suggested by mpm.
The dirstate is invalidated separately outside of invalidate() which is
already being called (other callers of invalidate() seems to suggest the
separation is there for a reason).
This will trigger the filecache and recreate every cached property that was
changed by something other than this cmdserver instance (e.g. by running
'hg commit' at the cmdline).
The ui passed to server() is really repo.ui, that is it contains its local
configuration as well.
When running commands that use a different repo than the servers cached repo,
we don't want to use that ui as the baseui for the new repo.
There are places in the code that use localrepository.baseui (see hg.remoteui),
we need the ui descriptors (and possibly other things) to be set
correctly on it, so output written to the remoteui descriptors ends up at the
right place.
Before this change, tests such as 'test-bookmarks-pushpull.t' didn't work.
This is a guaranteed by the protocol: clients know they need to read one chunk
off of the 'o' channel and treat that as the hello message.
They should ignore fields they don't recognize so they stay compatible with
new versions of the server in case we decide to add something.
No real reason for a client to do this, but still possible.
Previously if the client sent no arguments, a list with an empty string ['']
would be used as the arguments to dispatch, which would cause hg to complain
about an ambiguous command.
Instead, we simply check for no arguments and use an empty list instead (which
is equivalent to invoking hg with no args on the command line).
