The keyword extension uses "utcdate" for a different function, so we can't
add new "utcdate" filter or function. Instead, this patch extends "localdate"
to a general timezone converter.
GNU grep allows you to use "a\|b" in a regular expression to match either
"a" or "b", but at least Solaris grep does not; only egrep allows for that.
And egrep considers "a+" to be "a{1,}" instead of an "a" and a literal plus
sign, so escape that as well.
Instead of re-parsing quoted strings as templates, the tokenizer can delegate
the parsing of nested template strings to the parser. It has two benefits:
1. syntax errors can be reported with absolute positions
2. nested template can use quotes just like shell: "{"{rev}"}"
It doesn't sound nice that the tokenizer recurses into the parser. We could
instead make the tokenize itself recursive, but it would be much more
complicated because we would have to adjust binding strengths carefully and
put dummy infix operators to concatenate template fragments.
Now "string" token without r"" never appears. It will be removed by the next
patch.
Because we want to eliminate "if"s in the default template, it makes sense to
display wdirrev/wdirnode values for now. wdir() is still experimental, so the
output of "log -r'wdir()'" may change in future.
wdirrev/wdirnode identifiers are still experimental, but {node} is mapped to
wdirnode. So {rev} should do the same for consistency.
I'm not sure if templatekw can import scmutil. If not, we should move intrev()
to node module.
This will prevent crash by "hg log -r 'wdir()' -Tdefault". We could use the
pseudo ff... hash introduced by 187c3ec3d83f, but it isn't proven idea yet.
For now, I want to make "hg log" just works in order to test 'wdir()' revset.
Note that unlike its name, "{manifest}" is not a list of files in that
revision, but a pair of (manifestrev, manifestnode).
This patch backs out 297d563e92af which should no longer be needed.
The test for '{\"invalid\"}' is removed because the parser is permissive for
\"...\" literal.
As of Mercurial 3.4, there were several syntax rules to process nested
template strings. Unfortunately, they were inconsistent and conflicted
each other.
a. buildmap() rule
- template string is _parsed_ as string, and parsed as template
- <\"> is not allowed in nested template:
{xs % "{f(\"{x}\")}"} -> parse error
- template escaping <\{> is handled consistently:
{xs % "\{x}"} -> escaped
b. _evalifliteral() rule
- template string is _interpreted_ as string, and parsed as template
in crafted environment to avoid double processing of escape sequences
- <\"> is allowed in nested template:
{if(x, "{f(\"{x}\")}")}
- <\{> and escape sequences in string literal in nested template are not
handled well
c. pad() rule
- template string is first interpreted as string, and parsed as template,
which means escape sequences are processed twice
- <\"> is allowed in nested template:
{pad("{xs % \"{x}\"}', 10)}
Because of the issue of template escaping, issue4714, 56e0b66a4c27 (in stable)
unified the rule (b) to (a). Then, 41e044cfb1ef (in default) unified the rule
(c) to (b) = (a). But they disabled the following syntax that was somewhat
considered valid.
{if(rev, "{if(rev, \"{rev}\")}")}
{pad("{files % \"{file}\"}", 10)}
So, this patch introduces \"...\" literal to work around the escaped-quoted
nested template strings. Because this parsing rule exists only for the backward
compatibility, it is designed to copy the behavior of old _evalifliteral() as
possible.
Future patches will introduce a better parsing rule similar to a command
substitution of POSIX shells or a string interpolation of Ruby, where extra
escapes won't be necessary at all.
{pad("{files % "{file}"}", 10)}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
parsed as a template, not as a string
Because <\> character wasn't allowed in a template fragment, this patch won't
introduce more breakages. But the syntax of nested templates are interpreted
differently by people, there might be unknown issues. So if we want, we could
instead remove e926f2ef639a, 72be08a15d8d and 56e0b66a4c27 from the stable
branch as the bug fixed by these patches existed for longer periods.
554d6fcc3c8, "strip single backslash before quotation mark in quoted template",
should be superseded by this patch. I'll remove it later.
The backslash character should start escape sequences no matter if a string is
prefixed with 'r'. They are just not interpreted as escape sequences in raw
strings. revset.tokenize() handles them correctly, but templater didn't.
https://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#string-literals
The problem was spotted at cd1b50e99ed8, that says "this patch invokes it
with "strtoken='rawstring'" in "_evalifliteral()", because "t" is the result
of "arg" evaluation and it should be "string-escape"-ed if "arg" is "string"
expression." This workaround is no longer valid since 72be08a15d8d introduced
strict parsing of '\{'.
Instead, we should interpret bare token as "string" or "rawstring" template.
This is what buildmap() does at parsing phase.
Because double backslashes are processed as a string escape sequence, '\\{'
should start the template syntax. On the other hand, r'' disables any sort
of \-escapes, so r'\{' can go either way, never start the template syntax
or always start it. I simply chose the latter, which means r'\{' is the same
as '\\{'.
This patch brings back pre-2.8.1 behavior.
The result of parsestring() is stored in templater's cache, t.cache, and then
it is parsed as a template string by compiletemplate(). So t.cache should keep
an unparsed string no matter if it is sourced from config value. Otherwise
backslashes would be processed twice.
The test vector is borrowed from 83ff877959a6.
This is a copy of 942d64e0a1ee, but applied to the phases template,
which is itself almost a copy of the default template.
Perhaps we should rewrite these templates to use the %include syntax
afforded by config files. This change seems a bit too big for stable,
though.
The previous patch made 'string' is always interpreted as a template. So
this patch removes the special handling of r'rawstring' instead. Now r''
disables template processing at all.
This patch series is intended to unify the interpretation of string literals.
It is breaking change that boldly assumes
a. string literal "..." never contains template-like fragment or it is
intended to be a template
b. we tend to use raw string literal r"..." for regexp pattern in which "{"
should have different meaning
Currently, we don't have a comprehensible rule how string literals are
evaluated in template functions. For example, fill() takes "initialindent"
and "hangindent" as templates, but not for "text", whereas "text" is a
template in pad() function.
date(date, fmt)
diff(includepattern, excludepattern)
fill(text, width, initialident: T, hangindent: T)
get(dict, key)
if(expr, then: T, else: T)
ifcontains(search, thing, then: T, else: T)
ifeq(expr1, expr2, then: T, else: T)
indent(text, indentchars, firstline)
join(list, sep)
label(label: T, expr: T)
pad(text: T, width, fillchar, right)
revset(query, formatargs...])
rstdoc(text, style)
shortest(node, minlength)
startswith(pattern, text)
strip(text, chars)
sub(pattern, replacement, expression: T)
word(number, text, separator)
expr % template: T
T: interpret "string" or r"rawstring" as template
This patch series adjusts the rule as follows:
a. string literal, '' or "", starts template processing (BC)
b. raw string literal, r'' or r"", disables both \-escape and template
processing (BC, done by subsequent patches)
c. fragment not surrounded by {} is non-templated string
"ccc{'aaa'}{r'bbb'}"
------------------ *: template
--- c: string
--- a: template
--- b: rawstring
Because this can eliminate the compilation of template arguments from the
evaluation phase, "hg log -Tdefault" gets faster.
% cd mozilla-central
% LANG=C HGRCPATH=/dev/null hg log -Tdefault -r0:10000 --time > /dev/null
before: real 4.870 secs (user 4.860+0.000 sys 0.010+0.000)
after: real 3.480 secs (user 3.440+0.000 sys 0.030+0.000)
Also, this will allow us to parse nested templates at once for better error
indication.
The default joinfmt, "x.values()[0]", can't be used here because it picks
either 'bookmark' or 'current' randomly.
I got wrong result with PYTHONHASHSEED=1 on my amd64 machine.
Template functions use "yield"s assuming that the result will be combined
into a string, which means both "f -> str" and "f -> generator" should behave
in the same way.
Before this patch, piping generator function resulted in a cryptic error.
We had to insert "|stringify" in this case.
$ hg log --template '{if(author, author)|user}\n'
abort: template filter 'userfilter' is not compatible with keyword
'[(<function runsymbol at 0x7f5af2e8d8c0>, 'author'),
(<function runsymbol at 0x7f5af2e8d8c0>, 'author')]'
fffa7616be9d implies that the primary goal is to allow "{get(extras, key)}",
but it didn't work.
I'm not sure if _hybrid should forward all unknown attributes to values, so
only "get" is forwarded for now.
7678263f920c is fine for "{revset()}", but "i.values()[0]" does not work if
each item has more than one values such as "{bookmarks}".
This fixes the problem by using list.__contains__ or dict.__contains__
appropriately.
jsonchangeset._show() was computing the reverse status of the current
changeset. As a result, added files were showing up as removed and
removed files were showing up as adds.
There were existing tests for this code and they were flat out wrong.
"pad" function and "rawstring" type were introduced in parallel, 89145c35f76e
in default and cd1b50e99ed8 in stable respectively. Therefore, "pad" function
lacked handling of "rawstring" unintentionally.
Today, the terms 'active' and 'current' are interchangeably used throughout the
codebase in reference to the active bookmark (the bookmark that will be updated
with the next commit). This leads to confusion among developers and users.
This patch is part of a series to standardize the usage to 'active' throughout
the mercurial codebase and user interface.

This also adds labels to the output, as the tests now show.
I took the liberty to give two labels to the bisection status, just
like revisions get the log.changeset and changeset.phase statuses.
It appears that git users like having a --name-status option on `git
log`. There exist at least three questions on StackOverflow on how to
do this for hg. The desired output is not difficult to build with
templates, and since this is something that svn users might also want,
it seems desirable to have this as another standard template.
This mimics the output of `hg status` and adds it to the log output.
It also follows status's convention of displaying copies with a -C
option. Brief example:
$ hg log -T status -C
changeset: 24883:7d1b9b7ac9fd
bookmark: statustemplate
tag: tip

summary: log: add a status template
files:
A added
A copied
original
M modified
R removed
Of course, everything is also coloured correctly, and there are tests
to prove it.
This test was corrupting later cases in mysterious ways because the
hash of the changeset was changing every day at midnight. This made it
hard to figure out why tests were consistently breaking after they
were consistently working.
Before this patch, we had to quote integer literals to pass to template
functions. It was error-prone, so we should allow "word(0, x)" syntax.
Currently only decimal integers are allowed. It's easy to support 0x, 0b and 0
prefixes, but I don't think they are useful.
This patch assumes that template keywords and names defined in map files do
not start with digits, except for positional variables seen in the schemes
extension.
This commit modifies, adds, renames, removes files all at once. It
will be mostly interesting for an upcoming test relating to the status
log template.
e926f2ef639a fixed the issue of double escapes, but it made the following
template fail with syntax error because of <\">. Strictly speaking, <\">
appears to be invalid in non-string part, but we are likely to escape <">
if surrounded by quotes, and we are used to write such templates by trial
and error.
[templates]
sl = "{tags % \"{ifeq(tag,'tip','',label('log.tag', ' {tag}'))}\"}"
So, for backward compatibility between 2.8.1 and 3.4, a single backslash
before quotation mark is stripped only in quoted template. We don't care
for <\"> in string literal in quoted template, which never worked as expected
before.
template result
--------- ------------------------
{\"\"} parse error
"{""}" {""} -> <>
"{\"\"}" {""} -> <>
{"\""} {"\""} -> <">
'{"\""}' {"\""} -> <">
"{"\""}" parse error (don't care)
The current test that greps for "phase:" only checks that the word
"phase" is in the output, but does not test that nothing else gets
added by this template. This improves these tests by showing a unified
Since 266cfa7de44d, --template option is ignored if --style is specified,
which is wrong according to the doc of show_changeset():
Display format will be the first non-empty hit of:
1. option 'template'
2. option 'style'
...
This is a complete rewrite of the default template to use labels. This
seems ultimately useless to me in most cases. The biggest benefit of
this patch to me seems to be a fairly complicated example of the
templating engine. It was a lot of hard work to figure out the precise
acceptable syntax, since it's almost undocumented. Hat tip to Steve
Losh's smartlog template, which helped me figure out a lot of the
syntax. Hopefully later I can use the present default log template
as an example for documenting the templating engine.
A test is attached. My goal was to match the --color=debug output,
which may differ slightly in newlines from the actual ANSI escape
codes output. I consider this an acceptable invisible deviation.
There seems to be a considerable slowdown with this rewrite.
Before:

$ time hg log -T default -r .~100::. > /dev/null
real 0m1.462s
user 0m1.364s
sys 0m0.092s
Following the maxim, "make it work, profile, make it faster, in that
order", I deem this slowdown acceptable for now.
I suspect but have not confirmed that a big slowdown comes from
calling keywords twice in the file templates, once to test the
existence of output and again to actually list the output. If so, a
simple speedup might be to improve the templating engine to cache
keywords when called more than once on the same revision.
TODO: I found a bug while working on this. The following stack traces:
hg log -r . -T '{ifcontains(phase, "secret public", "lol", "omg")}\n'
Akin to b5baef1e39f6 which did this for `hg log`, the following sets
the correct phase for the {phase} keyword when the context is a parent
of the current cset. This allows templates such as the following to be
defined,
parent = '{label("log.parent changeset.{phase}",
"parent: {rev}:{node|formatnode}")}\n'
which when called on a parent (e.g. with the `parents` template
keyword), will produce the correct phase.
Previously there was no way of telling how much children or bookmarks or tags a
certain changeset has in a template. It was possible to tell if a changeset has
either 0 or not 0 bookmarks, but not to tell if it has 1 or 2 of them, for
example.
This filter, simply named count, makes it possible to count the number of items
in a list or the length of a string (or, anything that python's len can count).
E.g.: {children|count}, {bookmarks|count}, {file_adds|count}.
Testing the filter on node hash and shortened node hash is chosen because they
both have defined length.
As for lists of strings - children, tags and file_adds are used, because they
provide some variety and also prove that what's counted is the number of string
items in the list, and not the list stringified (they are lists of non-empty,
multi-character strings).
Additionally, revset template function is used for testing the filter, since
the combination is very flexible and will possibly be used together a lot.
(The previous version of this patch had an incorrect email subject and was
apparently lost - patchwork says the patch has been accepted, but it's not so.
The changes between that and this patch are minimal: now the filter does not
disturb the alphabetical order of function definitions and dict keys.)
"diff" allows to embed changes in the target revision into template
output, even if the command itself doesn't take "--patch" option
Combination of "[committemplate]" configuration and "diff" template
function can achieve the feature like issue231 ("option to have diff
displayed in commit editor buffer")
http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=231
For example, templating below can be used to add each "diff" output
lines "HG: " prefix::
{splitlines(diff) % 'HG: {line}\n'}
This patch implements "diff" not as "a template keyword" but as "a
template function" to take include/exclude patterns at runtime.
It allows to specify target files of command (by -I/-X command line
options) and "diff" separately.
Before this patch, predicates defined in "[revsetalias]" can't be used
in the query specified to template function "revset()", because:
- "revset()" uses "localrepository.revs()" to get query result, but
- "localrepository.revs()" passes "None" as "ui" to "revset.match()", then
- "revset.match()" can't recognize any alias predicates
To enable alias predicates to be used in "revset()" function, this
patch invokes "revset.match()" directly with "repo.ui".
This patch doesn't make "localrepository.revs()" pass "self.ui" to
"revset.match()", because this may be intentional implementation to
prevent alias predicates from shadowing built-in ones and breaking
functions internally using "localrepository.revs()".
Even if it isn't intentional one, the check for shadowing should be
implemented (maybe on default branch) before fixing it for safety.
We used to have --style nosuch to list templates, but --style is now
merged with --template/-T where random strings are acceptable
templates. So we reserve 'list' to allow listing templates.
Before this patch, complicated template expression below is required
to show current active bookmark if it is associated with the
changeset.
"{bookmarks % '{ifeq(bookmark, current, \"{bookmark}\")}'}"
This patch add 'currentbookmark' keyword to show current bookmark
easily.
This function allows returning only the nth "word" from a string. By default
a string is split as by Python's split() function default, but an optional
third parameter can also override what string the string is split by.
This function returns a string only if it starts with a given string.
It is particularly useful when combined with splitlines and/or used with
conditionals that fail when empty strings are passed in to take action
based on the contents of a line.
This is useful for applying changes to each line, and it's especially powerful
when used in conjunction with conditionals to modify lines based on content.
Previously the ifcontains revset was checking against the set using a pure
__contains__ check. It turns out the set was actually a list of
formatted strings meant for ui output, which meant the contains check failed if
the formatted string wasn't significantly different from the raw value.
This change makes it check against the raw data, prior to it being formatted.
This should correct an earlier couple of bad merges (5433856b2558 and
596960a4ad0d, now pruned) that accidentally brought in a change that had
been marked obsolete (244ac996a821).
Previously, if a template '{foo()}' was given, the buildfunc would not be able
to match it and hit a code path that would not return so it would error out
later in the templater stating that NoneType was not iterable. This patch makes
sure that a proper error is raised so that the user can be informed.
Tests have been updated.
Changeset 83ff877959a6 (released with 2.8.1) fixed "recursively
evaluate string literals as templates" problem (issue4102) by moving
the location of "string-escape"-ing from "tokenizer()" to
"compiletemplate()".
But some parts in template expressions below are not processed by
"compiletemplate()", and it may cause unexpected result.
- 'expr' of 'if(expr, then, else)'
- 'expr's of 'ifeq(expr, expr, then, else)'
- 'sep' of 'join(list, sep)'
- 'text' and 'style' of 'rstdoc(text, style)'
- 'text' and 'chars' of 'strip(text, chars)'
- 'pat' and 'repl' of 'sub(pat, repl, expr)'
For example, '\n' of "{join(extras, '\n')}" is not "string-escape"-ed
and treated as a literal '\n'. This breaks "Display the contents of
the 'extra' field, one per line" example in "hg help templates".
Just "string-escape"-ing on each parts above may not work correctly,
because inside expression of nested ones already applies
"string-escape" on string literals. For example:
- "{join(files, '\n')}" doesn't return "string-escape"-ed string, but
- "{join(files, if(branch, '\n', '\n'))}" does
To fix this problem, this patch does:
- introduce "rawstring" token and "runrawstring" method to handle
strings not to be "string-escape"-ed correctly, and
- make "runstring" method return "string-escape"-ed string, and
delay "string-escape"-ing until evaluation
This patch invokes "compiletemplate()" with "strtoken=exp[0]" in
"gettemplate()", because "exp[1]" is not yet evaluated. This code path
is tested via mapping ("expr % '{template}'").
In the other hand, this patch invokes it with "strtoken='rawstring'"
in "_evalifliteral()", because "t" is the result of "arg" evaluation
and it should be "string-escape"-ed if "arg" is "string" expression.
This patch doesn't test "string-escape"-ing on 'expr' of 'if(expr,
then, else)', because it doesn't affect the result.
Templating syntax allows nested expression to be specified as parts
below, but they are evaluated as a generator and don't work correctly.
- 'sep' of 'join(list, sep)'
- 'text' and 'chars' of 'strip(text, chars)'
In the former case, 'sep' returns expected string only for the first
separation, and empty one for the second or later, because the
generator has only one element.
In the latter case, templating is aborted by exception, because the
generator doesn't have 'strip()' method (as 'text') and can't be
passed as the argument to 'str.strip()' (as 'chars').
This patch applies "stringify()" on these sub expression to get string
correctly.
Changeset c84f81c3e120 (released with 2.8.1) fixed "recursively
evaluate string literals as templates" problem (issue4103) by
introducing "_evalifliteral()".
But some parts in template expressions below are still processed by
the combination of "compiletemplate()" and "runtemplate()", and may
cause same problem unexpectedly.
- 'init' and 'hang' of 'fill(text, width, init, hang)'
- 'expr' of 'sub(pat, repl, expr)'
- 'label' of 'label(label, expr)'
This patch processes them by "_evalifliteral()" instead of the
combination of "compiletemplate()" and "runtemplate()" to avoid
recursive evaluation of string literals completely.
This adds the keyword 'current' to the template scope when processing a
bookmark list. The 'current' keyword resolves to the name of the currently
active bookmark in the repo. This allows us to apply special labels to the
current bookmark to distinguish it (especially in the case where there are
multiple bookmarks on the same commit).
Example: "{bookmarks % '{bookmark}{ifeq(bookmark, current, \"*\")} '}"
Results in a space separated list of bookmarks where the current bookmark has
an asterix.
Adds a template function that executes a revset and returns the list of
revisions as the result. It has the signature 'revset(query [, args...])'. The
args are optional and are applied to the query string using the standard
python string.format(args) pattern. This allows things like:
'{revset("parents({0})", rev)}' to produce the parents of each individual
commit in the log output. If no args are specified, the revset result is
cached for the duration of the templater; so it's better to not use args if
performance is a concern.
By itself, revset() can be used to print commit parents, print the common
ancestor of a commit with the main branch, etc.
It can be used with the ifcontains() function to do things like
'{ifcontains(rev, revset('.'), label(...), ...)}' to color the working copy
parent, to color certain branches, to color draft commits, etc.
Adds a template function with the signature 'ifcontains(item, set, then[,
else])'. It can be used to do things like '{ifcontains('.hgignore',
file_mods, label(...), ...)}' to color commits that edit the .hgignore file.
A future patch will add the revset() function which will combine with
ifcontains to allow us to color commits if they are in the revset.
Adds a pad template function with the following signature:
pad(text, width, fillchar=' ', right=False)
This uses the standard python ljust and rjust functions to produce a string
that is at least a certain width. This is useful for aligning variable length
strings in log output (like user names or shortest(node) output).
Adds a '{shortest(node)}' template function that results in the shortest hex node
that uniquely identifies the changeset at that time. The minimum length can be
specified as an optional second argument and defaults to 4.
This is useful for producing prettier log output, like so:
@ durham shortestnode
| 77cf template: add pad function for padding output
|
o durham
| b183 template: add shortestnode keyword
|
o pierre-yves @
| 6545 backout: add a message after backout that need manual commit
|
| o durham manifestcache
|/ 93f0 manifest cache
|
| o durham catperf
| | c765 cat: increase perf when catting single files
| |
| o durham
|/ 9c53 changectx: increase perf of walk function
|
Before the templater got extended for nested expressions, it made
sense to decode string escapes across the whole string. Now we do it
on a piece by piece basis.
This adds a new root hghave to test against. Almost all of these are a
subset of unix-permissions, but that is also used for checking exec
bit handling.
This allows using a template keyword on calls to the sub function and brings
the function inline with most other semantics of the other template functions.
This test started failing for me after midnight UTC on December
31st. Fixed it by specifying a date 7 years in the future more
precisely (rather than just adding 8 to the year and specifying
January 1st), which allows the test to pass both now and on 2012-12-01
at the same time.
The {parents} template is cumbersome for some uses, as it does not show
anything if there's only one "natural" parent and you can't use it to get the
full 40 digit node hashes for parents unless you rely on the behavior of
the --debug flag.
Introduce four new template keywords: {p1rev}, {p2rev}, {p1node} and
{p2node}. The "node" flavors of these always show full 40 digit hashes,
but users can get the short version with a filter construction like
'{p1node|short}'.
Before, Mercurial would crash with a traceback ending with
SyntaxError: unmatched quotes
if you configured
[ui]
logtemplate = {rev}\n
The SyntaxError is now catched and the string is re-parsed without

This speeds up the in-memory version of debugbuilddag that I'm
