Previously, 'ui.color=yes' meant "always show color", While
"ui.color=auto" meant "use color automatically when it appears
sensible".
This feels problematic to some people because if an administrator has
disabled color with "ui.color=off", and a user turn it back on using
"color=on", it will get surprised (because it breaks their output when
redirected to a file.) This patch changes ui.color=true to only move the
default value of --color from "never" to "auto".
I'm not really in favor of this changes as I suspect the above case will
be pretty rare and I would rather keep the logic simpler. However, I'm
providing this patch to help the 4.2 release in the case were others
decide to make this changes.
Users that want to force colors without specifying --color on the
command line can use the 'ui.formatted' config knob, which had to be
enabled in a handful of tests for this patch.

That is, before this patch:
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| | not a tty | a tty |
| | --color not set | --color not set |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color (not set) | no color | no color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = auto | no color | color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = yes | *color* | color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| [ui] | | |
| color = no | no color | no color |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
(if --color is specified, it always clobbers the setting in [ui])
and after this patch:
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+
| | not a tty | a tty |
| | --color not set | --color not set |
| | | |
+--------------------+--------------------+--------------------+

The 'ui' object dedicated to a 'localrepo' is independent from the one available
in dispatch (and 'uisetup'). In addition, it is created from the 'baseui'
(apparently for good reason). As a result, we need to run the color setup on
it after the local repository config is read.
This was overlooked when the rest of the initialization changed but did not
had impact yet because all setup is still global. We fix it before it is too
late.
This new option control whether or not color will be used. It mirror the behavior
of '--color'. I usually avoid adding new option to '[ui]' as the section is
already filled with many option. However, I feel like 'color' is central enough
to deserves a spot in this '[ui]' section.
For now the option is not documented so it is still marked as experimental. Once
it get documented and official, we should be able to deprecate the color
extensions.
There is more cleanup to do before that documentation is written, but we need
this option early to made them. Having that option will allow for more cleanup
of the initialisation process and proper separation between color
configuration.
We now run the color initialisation as part of the standard dispatch. This is
opening the way for multiple cleanups since we now have access to the multiple 'ui'
object and we'll be able to see difference between global and local config. This
cleanup will arrive in later changesets.
As a side effect, the '--color' flag is now working without the extension.
Since we now properly initialize color for each ui idependently, we get a
warning message twice.
If the entry in the terminfo database for your terminal is missing some
attributes, it should be possible to create them on the fly without
resorting to just making them a color. This change allows you to have
[color]
terminfo.<effect> = <code>
where <effect> might be something like "dim" or "bold", and <code> is the
escape sequence that would otherwise have come from a call to tigetstr().
If an escape character is needed, use "\E". Any such settings will
override attributes that are present in the terminfo database.
To describe the bug this fix is addressing, one can do
``$ hg status -T "{label('red', path)}\n" --color=debug``
and observe that the label is not applied before my fix and applied with it.
We perform all that we can non-interactively before prompting the user for input
via their merge tool. This allows for a maximally consistent state when the user
is first prompted.
The test output changes indicate the actual behavior change happening.
The current output for a failed merge with conflict markers looks something like:
merging foo
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging foo incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
merging bar
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging bar incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
We're going to change the way merges are done to perform all premerges before
all merges, so that the output above would look like:
merging foo
merging bar
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging foo incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging bar incomplete! (edit conflicts, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
The 'warning: conflicts during merge' line has no context, so is pretty
confusing.
This patch will change the future output to:
merging foo
merging bar
warning: conflicts while merging foo! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
warning: conflicts while merging bar! (edit, then use 'hg resolve --mark')
The hint on how to resolve the conflicts makes this a bit unwieldy, but solving
that is tricky because we already hint that people run 'hg resolve' to retry
unresolved merges. The 'hg resolve --mark' mostly applies to conflict marker
based resolution.
This is most noticeable when using custom templates. Before this
patch, a template like {label("foo.bar", baz)} would emit
[foo.bar|]
whenever baz was empty. This cset simply omits all output when baz is
empty.
Before, the format was
label(labeled text) # single label
[label1 label2](labeled text) # multiple
Now, it's
[labels|labeled text]
..which should make things a bit more clear.
This is a debug option for showing labels. This can be helpful for
knowing which labels are available for colouring or to see the output
when defining your own templates. A couple of tests are included.
The error only occured when Python didn't have curses - such as on Windows and
when Python was built without curses support.
No curses can also be emulated by (re)moving .../lib/python2.7/curses/ from the
Python installation.
It is left as an exercise to figure out exactly what changed in Mercurial that
triggered this error.
Previously, colorui assumed that it would only be called when mode wasn't
None. 255b770b2eff changed that, so now colorui needs to care about whether it
should colorize output.
Many tests didn't change back from subdirectories at the end of the tests ...
and they don't have to. The missing 'cd ..' could always be added when another
test case is added to the test file.
This change do that tests (99.5%) consistently end up in $TESTDIR where they
started, thus making it simpler to extend them or move them around.
For the terminfo color test, make sure that the terminfo entry used is one
of our own choosing, by delivering a special "hgterm" entry (a copy of
ncurses' xterm-color), compiling it, and specifically pointing curses to it
using the TERMINFO and TERM environment variables. This means we can
ignore the variability in different terminal definitions on different
platforms.
On a linux host in xterm mode, 'none' is translated to:
\x1b[m\x1b(B
While it is the following on osx:
\x1b(B\x1b[m
Take advantage of the new color.color.X option to force it to a common value.
Using terminfo instead of hard-coding ECMA-48 control sequences provides a
greater assurance that the terminal codes are correct for the current
terminal type; not everything supports the ANSI escape codes.
It also allows us to use a wider range of colors when a terminal emulator
supports it (such as 16- or 256-color xterm), and a few more non-color
attributes, such as the ever-popular blink.
Without specifying the parent revision of the working copy, users will
update to tip, which is most likely the other head they were trying to
merge, not the revision they were at before the merge.
Many tests fixed the commit date of their changesets at '1000000 0' or
similar. However testing with "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970 +0000" is not
better than testing with "Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 1970 +0000", which is
the default run-tests.py installs.
Removing the unnecessary flag removes some clutter and will hopefully
make it clearer what the tests are really trying to test. Some tests
did not even change their output when the dates were changed, in which
case the -d flag was truly irrelevant.
Dates used in sequence (such as '0 0', '1 0', etc...) were left alone
since they may make the test easier to understand.
