sys.platform returns unicode on python 3 world. Our code base has most of the
things bytes because of the transformer. So we have a bytes version of this as
pycompat.sysplatform. This series of 2 patches replaces occurences of
sys.platform with pycompat.sysplatform.
"In this case, result is a source variable of a list to be returned, it
shouldn't be unicode. Hence we can use bytes instead of basestring here." -Yuya
This allows us to write doctests depending on a ui object, but not on global
configs.
ui.load() is a class method so we can do wsgiui.load(). All ui() calls but
for doctests are replaced with ui.load(). Some of them could be changed to
not load configs later.
@contextmanager almost always have their "yield" inside a try..finally
block. This is because if the calling code inside the activated
context manager raises, the code after the "yield" won't get
executed. A "finally" block, however, will get executed in this
scenario.
I feel like this idea might've been discussed before, so please
feel free to point me to the right mailing list entry to read
about why it should not be done.
We have a common pattern of the following code:
backup = ui.backupconfig(section, name)
try:
ui.setconfig(section, name, temporaryvalue, source)
do_something()
finally:
ui.restoreconfig(backup)
IMO, this looks better:
with ui.configoverride({(section, name): temporaryvalue}, source):
do_something()
Especially this becomes more convenient when one has to backup multiple
config values before doing something. In such case, adding a new value
to backup requires codemod in three places.
Almost all sys.stdin/out/err in hgext/ and mercurial/ are replaced by util's.
There are a few exceptions:
- lsprof.py and statprof.py are untouched since they are a kind of vendor
code and they never import mercurial modules right now.
- ui._readline() needs to replace sys.stdin and stdout to pass them to
raw_input(). We'll need another workaround here.
It appears crecord.py has its own termsize() function. I want to get rid of it.
The fallback height is chosen from the default of cmd.exe on Windows, and
VT100 on Unix.
I'm going to get rid of sys.stderr|out|in references from posix.termwidth().
In order to do that, termwidth() needs to take a ui, but functions in util.py
shouldn't depend on a ui object. So moves termwidth() to scmutil.py.
Using source transformer we add b'' everywhere. So there are no chances
that those bytes string will work with os.environ on Py3 as that returns a
dict of unicodes. We are relying on the errors, even though no error is raised
even in future, these pieces of codes will tend to do wrong things.
if statements can result in wrong boolean and certain errors can be raised
while using this piece of code. Let's not wait for them to happen, fix what is
wrong. If this patch goes in, I will try to do it for all the cases.
Leaving it as it is buggy.
"f = inspect.currentframe()" instantly creates a cycle because
"f.f_locals['f']" is "f" itself.
This patch explicitly sets those frame objects to None to avoid cycles.
Now that we have a mechanism for declaring path sub-options, we can
start to pile on features!
Many power users have expressed frustration that bare `hg push`
attempts to push all local revisions to the remote. This patch
introduces the "pushrev" path sub-option to control which revisions
are pushed when no "-r" argument is specified.
The value of this sub-option is a revset, naturally.
A future feature addition could potentially introduce a "pushnames"
sub-options that declares the list of names (branches, bookmarks,
topics, etc) to push by default. The entire "what to push by default"
feature should probably be considered before this patch lands.
As part of developing a subsequent patch I discovered that sub-option
values like "." were getting converted to paths. This is because the
[paths] section is treated specially during config loading.
This patch prevents post-processing sub-options from the [paths]
section.
This makes http password database stored in ui object.
It allows reusing authentication information when we
use this database for creating password manager for
the new connection.
This will allow us to clear in-memory password storage per runcommand().
I've updated commandserver to call resetstate() of both ui and repo.ui because
they may have different states in theory.
Currently, when --insecure is used we set web.cacerts=! and
socket validation takes this value into account. web.cacerts=!
is not documented AFAICT and is purely an internal implementation
detail.
Let's be more explicit about what is going on by introducing a
dedicated variable outside of the config values to track that
--insecure is used.
Controling all deprecation warnings with the same config seems sensible. This
mirror a fix (about missing gating) submitted for stable but with the new API.
The config gating is almost always the same and contributor tend to forget it.
We move the logic inside the function. Call site will be updated in later
changeset. We might make the sub config mandatory in the future (once all old
call sites are gone).
Windows command lines use double quotes to quote arguments with spaces.
This change is in a series to unify around using single quotes around
commands, and double quotes around interior arguments.
When code like filemerge._iprompt calls ui.prompt, it expects
the user to see the output in addition to getting the prompt.
Other code such as histedit may call ui.pushbuffer, but its
goal is not to interfere with prompts, so this commit adds
an optional prompt flag to ui.write and has _readline
include that argument.
ui.promptchoice calls ui.prompt which calls ui._readline.
This commit also updates hgext.color.write.
This patch introduces a new config flag ui.interface to select the interface
for interactive commands. It currently only applies to chunks selection.
The config can be overridden on a per feature basis with the flag
ui.interface.<feature>.
features for the moment can only be 'chunkselector', moving forward we expect
to have 'histedit' and other commands there.
If an incorrect value is given to ui.interface we print a warning and use the
default interface: text. If HGPLAIN is specified we also use the default
interface: text.
Note that we fail quickly if a feature does not handle all the interfaces
that we permit in ui.interface; in future, we could design a fallback path
(e.g. blackpearl to curses, curses to text), but let's leave that until we
need it.
Since we've dropped a str cast at write() by 7dbd3db608c5, ui.prompt() should
convert default to '' if it is None. Otherwise, write() would fail with
"TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()".
This patch includes the tests for both interactive and non-interactive cases
because "ui.askusername" was never tested.
It didn't work because "default-push" and "default" are independent named
items. Without this patch, "hg push default" would push to "default-push"
because paths["default"].pushloc was overwritten by "default-push".
Also, we shouldn't ban a user from doing "hg push default-push" so long as
"default-push" item is defined, not "default:pushurl". Otherwise, he would
be confused by missing "default-push" path.
Tests are included in a patch for stable branch.
This is necessary to handle "default-push" and "default" as fallback items.
We can't apply the same rule as "default:pushurl" because "default-push" is
a valid named path.
This series is for default branch. I have a simpler patch for stable.
This behavior regressed as part of the paths API refactoring. Previous
behavior was to accept "default-push" without "default" defined. Current
behavior aborts with "default repository not configured!." This patch
restores the old behavior and adds test coverage for the scenario, which
was absent before.
Before this patch, external editor process for the commit log can't
view some in-memory changes (especially, of dirstate), because they
aren't written out until the end of transaction (or wlock).
This causes unexpected output of Mercurial commands spawned from that
editor process.
To make in-memory changes visible to external editor process, this
patch does:
- write (or schedule to write) in-memory dirstate changes, and
- set HG_PENDING environment variable, if:
- a transaction is running, and
- there are in-memory changes to be visible
"hg diff" spawned from external editor process for "hg qrefresh"
shows:
- "changes newly imported into the topmost" before ab68b153ce34(*)
- "all changes recorded in the topmost by refreshing" after this patch
(*) ab68b153ce34 changed steps invoking editor process
Even though backward compatibility may be broken, the latter behavior
looks reasonable, because "hg diff" spawned from the editor process
consistently shows "what changes new revision records" regardless of
invocation context.
In fact, issue4378 itself should be resolved by b46029eb5b29, which
made 'repo.transaction()' write in-memory dirstate changes out
explicitly before starting transaction. It also made "hg qrefresh"
imply 'dirstate.write()' before external editor invocation in call
chain below.
- mq.queue.refresh
- strip.strip
- repair.strip
- localrepository.transaction
- dirstate.write
- localrepository.commit
- invoke external editor
Though, this patch has '(issue4378)' in own summary line to indicate
that issues like issue4378 should be fixed by this.
BTW, this patch adds '-m' option to a 'hg ci --amend' execution in
'test-commit-amend.t', to avoid invoking external editor process.
In this case, "unsure" states may be changed to "clean" according to
timestamp or so on. These changes should be written into pending file,
if external editor invocation is required,
Then, writing dirstate changes out breaks stability of test, because
it shows "transaction abort!/rollback completed" occasionally.
Aborting after editor process invocation while commands below may
cause similar instability of tests, too (AFAIK, there is no more such
one, at this revision)
- commit --amend
- without --message/--logfile
- import
- without --message/--logfile,
- without --no-commit,
- without --bypass,
- one of below, and
- patch has no description text, or
- with --edit
- aborting at the 1st patch, which adds or removes file(s)
- if it only changes existing files, status is checked only for
changed files by 'scmutil.matchfiles()', and transition from
"unsure" to "normal" in dirstate doesn't occur (= dirstate
isn't changed, and written out)
- aborting at the 2nd or later patch implies other pending
changes (e.g. changelog), and always causes showing
"transaction abort!/rollback completed"
As discussed on the list, we are adding an official way to keep old API around
for a short time in order to help third party developer to catch up. The
deprecated API will issue developer warning (issued by default during test runs)
to warn extensions authors that they need to upgrade their code without
instantaneously breaking tool chains and normal users.
The version is passed as an explicit argument so that developer think about it
and a potential future script can automatically check for it.
This is not build as a decorator because accessing the 'ui' instance will likely
be different each time. The message is also free form because deprecated API are
replaced in a variety of ways. I'm not super happy about the final rendering of
that message, but this is a developer oriented warning and I would like to move
forward.
This allows helper functions (like deprecation warning) to prepare a devel
warning for higher up in the stack. The argument is named after the one in the
Python's 'warning,warn' function.
Power users often want to apply per-path configuration options. For
example, they may want to declare an alternate URL for push operations
or declare a revset of revisions to push when `hg push` is used
(as opposed to attempting to push all revisions by default).
This patch establishes the use of sub-options (config options with
":" in the name) to declare additional behavior for paths.
New sub-options are declared by using the new ``@ui.pathsuboption``
decorator. This decorator serves multiple purposes:
* Declaring which sub-options are registered
* Declaring how a sub-option maps to an attribute on ``path``
instances (this is needed to `hg paths` can render sub-options
and values properly)
* Validation and normalization of config options to attribute
values
* Allows extensions to declare new sub-options without monkeypatching
* Allows extensions to overwrite built-in behavior for sub-option
handling
As convenient as the new option registration decorator is, extensions
(and even core functionality) may still need an additional hook point
to perform finalization of path instances. For example, they may wish
to validate that multiple options/attributes aren't conflicting with
each other. This hook point could be added later, if needed.
To prove this new functionality works, we implement the "pushurl"
path sub-option. This option declares the URL that `hg push` should
use by default.
We require that "pushurl" is an actual URL. This requirement might be
controversial and could be dropped if there is opposition. However,
objectors should read the complicated code in ui.path.__init__ and
commands.push for resolving non-URL values before making a judgement.
We also don't allow #fragment in the URLs. I intend to introduce a
":pushrev" (or similar) option to define a revset to control which
revisions are pushed when "-r <rev>" isn't passed into `hg push`.
This is much more powerful than #fragment and I don't think #fragment
is useful enough to continue supporting.
The [paths] section of the "config" help page has been updated
significantly. `hg paths` has been taught to display path sub-options.
The docs mention that "default-push" is now deprecated. However, there
are several references to it that need to be cleaned up. A large part
of this is converting more consumers to the new paths API. This will
happen naturally as more path sub-options are added and more and more
components need to access them.
The magic @property is going to interfere with the ability to print
path sub-options. We only access it in one location and it is trivial
to in-line, so do that.
Apparently ":" has been blessed as a generic separator for
options and sub-options. We formalize this by introducing an API
for obtaining an option and all its sub-options.
This will be used in a subsequent patch for declaring sub-options
for [paths].
By default, editor will use temp file named after hard-coded pattern
'hg-editor-XXX.txt' which makes it impossible for extensions to use
another filename if desired.
Now the middle part of the pattern ('editor') can be changed by
setting extra['prefix'].
In many cases, we don't need to cast to a str because the object will
be cast when it is eventually written.
As part of testing this, I added some code to raise exceptions when a
non-str was passed in and wasn't able to trigger it. i.e. we're already
passing str into this function everywhere, so the casting isn't
necessary.
As part of profiling `hg log` performance, I noticed a lot of time
is spent in buffered writes to ui instances. This patch starts a series
that refactors buffered writes with the eventual intent to improve
performance.
Currently, labels are expanded when buffers are popped. This means
we have to preserve the original text and the label until we render
the final output. This is avoidable overhead and adds complexity
since we're retaining state.
This patch adds functionality to ui.pushbuffer() to declare whether
label expansion should be active for the buffer. Labels are still
evaluated during buffer pop. This will change in a subsequent
patch.
Since we'll need to access the "expand labels" flag on future write()
operations, we prematurely optimize how the current value is stored
to optimize for rapid retrieval.
ui.write() has 2 modes: buffered and unbuffered. In buffered mode, we
capture output before writing it. This is how changeset printing works,
for example.
Previously, we were potentially clearing the progress bar for every
call to ui.write(). In buffered mode, this clearing was useless because
the clearing function would be called again before actually writing
the buffered data.
This patch stops the useless calling of _progclear() unless we are
actually writing data. During changeset printing with the default
template, this removes ~6 function calls per changeset, making
changeset printing slightly faster.

The home of 'Abort' is 'error' not 'util' however, a lot of code seems to be
confused about that and gives all the credit to 'util' instead of the
hardworking 'error'. In a spirit of equity, we break the cycle of injustice and
give back to 'error' the respect it deserves. And screw that 'util' poser.
For great justice.
I almost introduced a bug around this code by accidentally mutating a default
argument. There's no reason for these to exist.
It is OK to not assign {} to environ in ui.system because util.system knows how
to deal with that.
The previous paths API code always fell back to the default path. This
was wrong because if a requested path doesn't exist, that should error.
Only if no path was requested should we fall back to the default.
As part of implementing the test case for issue 4796, it was discovered
that the "repository does not exist" error message raised by
localrepository.__init__ wasn't being seen because the paths API
validates paths before localrepository.__init__ was being called.
The exception and error message from localrepository.__init__ has
been introduced to getpath(). This necessitated rewriting
expandpath() both to catch the exception and to have proper
default fallback.
This code is more complicated than I'd like. But making all tests pass
was a big chore. As more code moves to getpath(), there will likely be
opportunities to improve things a bit.
Hard coding the '.hg' path in the paths class made it difficult for the hggit
extension to pull from gitrepos.
This patch moves the logic out to it's own function so extensions can add
additional checks to what is a valid path (i.e. a git repo is valid when hggit
is enabled).
Currently, we treat "default" and "default-push" as separate paths,
even though they are the same logical entity but with different paths
for different operations. Because they are the same entity and
because we will eventually be implementing an official mechanism
for declaring push URLs for paths, we establish a "pushloc" attribute
on path instances. We populate this attribute on the "default" path
with the "default-push" value, if present. This will enable
consumers stop referencing "default-push" which will make their code
simpler.
ui.expandpath() has code for recognizing URLs or local filesystem
paths. Our goal is to use ``path`` class instances everywhere a path
is represented.
Changing ui.expandpath() to return path instances is a lot of work.
Our goal is to slowly marginalize it by moving logic into the paths
API and to convert callers to the paths API.
Many callers of ui.expandpath() pass in a value that could be a
local filesystem path or URI. We move the detection of these strings
from ui.expandpath() to paths.getpath() and path.__init__(). To do
this properly in a way that is compatible with future callers, we
need to parse the "#branch" syntax out of locations. This is a bit
complicated, but it is necessary.
The code for URL parsing is essentially a copy of hg.parseurl().
Once all consumers are speaking the paths API, it is likely that
this function won't be called any more and it can be deleted.
Python 2.6 introduced the "except type as instance" syntax, replacing
the "except type, instance" syntax that came before. Python 3 dropped
support for the latter syntax. Since we no longer support Python 2.4 or
2.5, we have no need to continue supporting the "except type, instance".
This patch mass rewrites the exception syntax to be Python 2.6+ and
Python 3 compatible.
This patch was produced by running `2to3 -f except -w -n .`.
There were consistent test failures in test-bad-extension.t, because Windows
buffers stderr when redirected to a file (per the comment in ui.write_err()).
That resulted in failures like this:

Instead of inserting another flush immediately after the print, to go along with
the one recently added prior to the print (see 3cd72de3be66), funnel the output
through ui.write_err(). The flush prior to printing the traceback only mentions
that stdout needs to be flushed, and only stderr needs to be flushed after
printing the traceback. ui.write_err() does both for us without needing to
redocument the quirky Windows behavior. It will also clear any progress bar.
The ui object can take care of its progress object logic by itself.
test-subrepo-recursion is modified because it is a bit sensitive to the "no
progress bar" default. It will become unnecessary in the next step when
progress will be on by default in core.
The use of a singleton for all of progress handling is debatable (because
config may vary). However this is how the extension has been doing it so far.
We move that code into the ui module because this is where is should belong when
progress is moved into core.
When the progress extension is not enabled, each call to 'ui.progress' used to
issue a debug message. This results is a very verbose output and often redundant
in tests. Dropping it makes tests less volatile to factor they do not meant to
test.
We had to alter the sed trick in 'test-rename-merge2.t'. Sed is used to drop all
output from a certain point and hidding the progress output remove its anchor.
So we anchor on something else.
ui.plain() is supposed to disable config options that change the UI to the
detriment of scripts. As the test demonstrates, revset aliases can actually
override builtin ones, just like command aliases. Therefore I believe this is a
bugfix and appropriate for stable.
We want to capture hooks output during bundle2 processing. For this purpose we
introduce a new 'subproc' argument to 'ui.pushbuffer'. When set, the output of
sub process created through 'ui.system' will be captured in the buffer too.
This will be used in the next changeset.
Revision 7fbf0ef28408 ('graft: record intermediate grafts in extras') introduced
'intermediate-source' extra which refers to the closest graft source.
As 'intermediate-source' extra provides more detailed information about the source
changeset than 'source' one, it is better to prefer the first one to use as a
value of HGREVISION environment variable for an editor.
Many have long wanted for paths to have expanded functionality and
flexibility.
In order to make that transition possible, we need to start
representing paths as something more than simple strings.
This patch introduces two classes:
1) "path" for representing a single path instance
2) "paths" for representing a collection of "paths"
Since we don't like patches that introduce new code without any
consumers, we convert ui.expandpath() to use the new APIs internally.
Upcoming patches will start exposing "path" instances to consumers
that currently interface with string paths.
The new "paths" attribute of ui is populated from config data the first
time it is accessed. Since it isn't updated when the configs are
modified, this could lead to some inaccurate caching behavior. It
shouldn't be an issue, as paths information is typically not accessed
until command dispatch, which occurs after the repository config
and extensions have been loaded. Time will tell if we need to refresh
paths information when the underlying config changes.
This change is intended to avoid future problem of data corruption under
command server. out=ui.fout is mandatory as long as command server uses
stdout as IPC channel.
The problem in commandserver was addressed by 766cfbe766dc, but it is tricky
to reuse ui.nontty option to disable echo back. Instead, this patch introduces
new option to enable echoing of prompt response.
Prompt echoing is changed to be off by default, which should avoid possible
breakage of output parsing in user scripts.
For now, this option is undocumented because it exists for internal use.
This just copies the same local sample hgrc, except it sets the
default path to the repo it was cloned from.
This is cut-and-paste from the local sample hgrc, but I think it's
acceptable, since the two pieces of code are right next to each other
and they're small. There is danger of them going out of synch, but it
would complicate the code too much to get rid of this C&P.
I also add ui as an import to hg.py, but with demandimport, this
should not be a noticeable performance hit.
Some examples of the typical configurations that one might want to do
in an .hg/hgrc file. This includes a default-push that happens to
point to the same location as my-fork.
I insist on the myfork terminology for a server-side clone. Bitbucket,
Github, and others have widely popularised this meaning of "fork".
This also includes a gentle nudge to use a repo-specific username,
which is something that people might not instinctively realise is an
option.
d735f8a82023 is nice for test output, but it also affects command-server
channel. Command-server client shouldn't receive echo-back message, which
makes it harder to parse the output.
The tests often set ui.interactive to control normally interactive prompts from
stdin. That gave an output where it was non-obvious what prompts got which
which response, and the output lacked the newline users would see after input.
Instead, if the input not is a tty, write the selection and a newline.
Retrieved from 55a66b5d9114.
I was about to move ' ' to label(msg + ' ', 'ui.prompt') so that subclass can
distinguish prompt output from data. But it was not that simple.
At the external editor invocation for committing, the value specified
as "editform" for "cmdutil.getcommiteditor" is in "HGEDITFORM".
This enables external editor to do own customization according to
commit types.
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.
We need an easy way to capture both stderr and stdout during bundle2 processing
of a remote bundle. This changeset adds simple changes to the `ui` class to make
this possible.
I expect the interface to change in future releases as bundle2 will probably want to
distinguish stdout and stderr. The current change will, however, do for now.
transplant command set 'transplant_source' extra for the revision.
Allow an editor to access the extra using HGREVISION environment variable.
This may be useful when an editor is actually a script which modifies a commit
message. Transplant filters is an alternative way to do it.
rebase and graft commands set 'rebase_source' or 'source' extras for the revision.
Allow an editor to access the extras using HGREVISION environment variable.
This may be useful when an editor is actually a script which modifies a commit
message.
The name 'HGREVISION' has been selected as transplant already sets this variable
for its filters (--filter).
Before this patch, the prompt text for asking password is directly
passed to "getpass.getpass()" of Python standard library.
In "getpass.getpass()" implementation on Windows environment, the
prompt text is split into byte sequence and "msvcrt.putch()" is
applied on each bytes in it. This splitting causes non-ASCII prompt
text to be broken.
This patch shows the prompt text for asking password on "ui.getpass()"
side, and invokes "getpass.getpass()" with empty prompt text. This
prevents non-ASCII prompt text from being broken in
"getpass.getpass()" implementation.
This patch also sets "ui.prompt" label to prompt text to follow
"ui.prompt()" style.
This accepts a floating point number, followed by optional whitespace,
followed by an optional one- or two-letter unit specifier (for
bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes).
This will allow a current traceback.print_exc() call in dispatch to be replaced
with ui.traceback() even if --traceback was not given on the command line.
Adds a blackbox extension that listens to ui.log() and writes the messages to
.hg/blackbox.log. Future commits will use ui.log() to log commands, unhandled
exceptions, incoming changes, and hooks. The extension defaults to logging
everything, but can be configured via blackbox.track to only log certain events.
Log lines are of the format: "date time user> message"
Example log line:
2013/02/09 08:35:19 durham> 1 incoming changes - new heads: d84ced58aaa
The check pattern only checked for whitespace between keyword and operator.
Now it also warns:

This patch contains support for Plan 9 from Bell Labs. A README is
provided in contrib/plan9 which describes the port in greater detail.
A new extension is also provided named factotum which permits the
factotum(4) authentication agent to provide credentials for HTTP

ui.write_err already swallows EPIPE and EIO if a write to stderr fails.
On Mac OS X at least, a write to a closed file descriptor results in
EBADF. Before this patch, hg would exit with status 1 if a write to
stderr failed during startup (e.g. while trying to print a warning about
not finding an extension):
$ ./hg --config extensions.foo= version 2>&-; echo $?
1
With this patch, it correctly swallows stderr and continues to run the
command:
$ ./hg --config extensions.foo= version 2>&-

This is introduce to allow temporary overwriting of a config value while being
able to reinstall the old value once done. The main advantage over using
``config`` and ``setconfig`` is that backup and restore will properly restore
the lack of any config. Restoring the fact that there was no value is important
to allow config user to keep using meaniful default value.
A more naive approach will result in the following scenario::
Before:
config(section, item, my_default) --> my_default
temporal overwrite
old = config(section, item)
…
setconfig(section, item, old)
After
config(section, item, my_default) --> None
The first user of this feature should be mq to overwriting minimal phase of
future commit.
In 55a66b5d9114, _readline was changed to output a space using
raw_input and this was done using sys.stdout directly, not self.fout.
This change broke the command server for JavaHg since it (and other
clients) would see a spurious ' ' on stdout and interpret this as an
unknown channel.
This is a workaround for calling ui.prompt(...), typing some character then
hitting backspace which causes the entire line to delete rather than just the
one character. This was seen on Debian using gnome-terminal.

When in plain mode with "alias" present in the exception list,
keep the aliases. This will be used later to enable auto-completion.
