cmdutil.command wasn't a member of the registrar framework only for a
historical reason. Let's make that happen. This patch keeps cmdutil.command
as an alias for extension compatibility.
Mercurial extensions are not meant to be normal python package/module. Yet the
lack of an official location to install them means that a lot of them actually
install as root level python package, polluting the global Python package
namespace and risking collision with more legit packages. As we recently
discovered, core python actually support namespace package. A way for multiples
distinct "distribution" to share a common top level package without fear of
installation headache. (Namespace package allow submodule installed in different
location (of the 'sys.path') to be imported properly. So we are fine as long as
extension includes a proper 'hgext3rd.__init__.py' to declare the namespace
package.)
Therefore we introduce a 'hgext3rd' namespace packages and search for extension
in it. We'll then recommend third extensions to install themselves in it.
Strictly speaking we could just get third party extensions to install in 'hgext'
as it is also a namespace package. However, this would make the integration of
formerly third party extensions in the main distribution more complicated as the third
party install would overwrite the file from the main install. Moreover, having an
explicit split between third party and core extensions seems like a good idea.
The name 'hgext3rd' have been picked because it is short and seems explicit enough.
Other alternative I could think of where:
- hgextcontrib
- hgextother
- hgextunofficial
The bad-extension tests emits a list of not-loaded extensions, and pipes
that output through grep. On Solaris, the test-output gets "(no-eol)"
appended because although the message has no trailing newline, GNU grep
adds it. If we simply add the newline to the message, the problem goes
away for both versions of grep.
Before this patch, there is no easy way to detect if there are extensions
failed to load. While this is okay for most situations, chgserver is designed
to preload all extensions specified in config and does need the information.
This patch adds extensions.notloaded() to return names of extensions failed
to load.
An external extension whose docstring doesn't conform to Mercurial standards
used to cause crashes. Test that we omit such extensions when you do a
keyword search.
Before this patch, there was no handy way to investigate the reason why
extension couldn't be loaded.
If ui.debug is set, tracebacks of both "hgext.foo" and "foo" are displayed
because the first ImportError could occur at very deep dependency module.
This adds a " (glob)" marker that works like a simpler version of
(re): "*" is converted to ".*", and "?" is converted to ".".
Both special characters can be escaped using "\", and the backslash
itself can be escaped as well.
Other glob-style syntax, like "**", "[chars]", or "[!chars]", isn't
supported.
Consider this test:
$ hg glog --template '{rev}:{node|short} "{desc}"\n'
@ 2:20c4f79fd7ac "3"
|
| o 1:38f24201dcab "2"
|/
o 0:2a18120dc1c9 "1"
Because each line beginning with "|" can be compiled as a regular
expression (equivalent to ".*|"), they will match any output.
Similarly:
$ echo foo
The blank output line can be compiled as a regular expression and will
also match any output.
With this patch, none of the above output lines will be matched as
regular expressions. A line must end in " (re)" in order to be matched
as one.
Lines are still matched literally first, so the following will pass:
$ echo 'foo (re)'
foo (re)
