This change introduces the error plus a corresponding catch in dispatch, to
provide localized error messages.
The verb "censor" is used in this commit and all following to refer to erasing
the content of a revlog revision (filelog, for now) without recalculating node
IDs, leaving that revision invalid. Further work must be done to safely share
such revision data with compliant clients.
I find the analogy to censorship straightforward; for less politically
charged options, consider "erase", "excise", "expunge", or "blackhole".
Before this patch, the shell alias causes failure when it takes its
specific (= unknown for "hg") options in the command line, because
"_parse()" can't accept them.
This is the regression introduced by 7849ac1dbc57.
It fixed the issue that ambiguity between shell aliases and commands
defined by extensions was ignored. But it also caused that ambiguous
shell alias is handled in "_parse()" even if it takes specific options
in the command line.
To avoid such failure, this patch checks shell alias again after
loading extensions.
All aliases and commands (including ones defined by extensions) are
completely defined before the 2nd (= newly added in this patch)
"_checkshellalias()" invocation, and "cmdutil.findcmd(strict=False)"
can detect ambiguity between them correctly.
For efficiency, this patch does:
- omit the 2nd "_checkshellalias()" invocation if "[ui] strict= True"
it causes "cmdutil.findcmd(strict=True)", of which result should
be equal to one of the 1st invocation before adding aliases
- avoid removing the 1st "_checkshellalias()" invocation
it causes "cmdutil.findcmd(strict=True)" invocation preventing
shell alias execution from loading extensions uselessly
To reduce changes in the subsequent patch fixing issue4355, this patch
makes "_checkshellalias" reusable regardless of adding aliases.
In this patch, alias definitions are added and restored, only when
"precheck=True".
Old behavior:
hg help x hg x -h hg help -e x hg help -c x
config topic topic (!) - cmd
showconfig cmd topic (!) - cmd
rebase cmd cmd ext cmd
New behavior:
hg help x hg x -h hg help -e x hg help -c x
config topic cmd - cmd
showconfig cmd cmd - cmd
rebase cmd cmd ext cmd
Added "unexpected leading whitespace" message to parse error
when .hgrc has a line that starts with whitespace.
Helps new users unfamiliar with syntax of rc file.
Before this patch, there was no way to pass in all the positional parameters as
separate words down to another command.
(1) $@ (without quotes) would expand to all the parameters separated by a space.
This would work fine for arguments without spaces, but arguments with spaces
in them would be split up by POSIX shells into separate words.
(2) '$@' (in single quotes) would expand to all the parameters within a pair of
single quotes. POSIX shells would then treat the entire list of arguments
as one word.
(3) "$@" (in double quotes) would expand similarly to (2).
With this patch, we expand "$@" (in double quotes) as all positional
parameters, quoted individually with util.shellquote, and separated by spaces.
Under standard field-splitting conditions, POSIX shells will tokenize each
argument into exactly one word.
This is a backwards-incompatible change, but the old behavior was arguably a
bug: Bourne-derived shells have expanded "$@" as a tokenized list of positional
parameters for a very long time. I could find this behavior specified in IEEE
Std 1003.1-2001, and this probably goes back to much further before that.
No command should fail with ValueError just because there is unparseable
alias definition.
It returns 1 like other badalias handlers, but should be changed to 255 in
a later version because we use 255 for general command error.
This also includes test for shell aliases. It avoid using "false" command
because "man false" does not say "exit with 1" but "exit with a status code
indicating failure."
When having ui.debugger=somedebugger in one's ~/.hgrc, this then
somedebugger would be imported for every hg command. With this patch,
this import only happens if the --debugger parameter is passed.
Before this patch, shell alias may be executed by abbreviated command
name unexpectedly, even if abbreviated command name matches also
against the command provided by extension.
For example, "rebate" shell alias is executed by "hg reba", even if
rebase extension (= "rebase" command) is enabled. In this case, "hg
reba" should be aborted because of command name ambiguity.
This patch makes "_checkshellalias()" invoke "cmdutil.findcmd()"
always with "strict=True" (default value).
If abbreviated command name matches against only one shell alias even
after loading extensions, such shell alias will be executed via
"_parse()".
This patch doesn't remove "_checkshellalias()" invocation itself,
because it may prevent shell alias from loading extensions uselessly.
Some debuggers, such as ipdb, load escape codes and color codes even when later
turned off. This will affect scripts that do simple parsing and can't handle
escape codes. Therefore, we only load a custom debugger if ui.plain() is false.
This adds the ability to specify a config option, ui.debugger, to a custom pdb
module, such as ipdb, and have mercurial use that as its debugger. As long as
the value of ui.debugger is a loadable module with the set_trace and
post_mortem functions, then dispatch will be able to use the custom module.
Debugging _parseconfig is still available in the case of an error since it will
be caught with a default the value of pdb.post_mortem.
Previously, command line parsing of --config arguments was done in
_dispatch. This means that it takes place after activating the debugger. In an
upcoming patch, we will add a ui.debugger setting so we need to have this
parsing done before _runcatch.
Previously the blackbox wrapped runcommand, but this failed to see the error
codes that were created if an exception occurred. I moved that logging to now
wrap _runcatch, so it can observe and log the actual error code (such as when
a user ctrl+c's during a command).
Updated the tests as well. Tested the change by running all the tests with the
blackbox extension enabled and verifying nothing broke (aside from things that
printed what extensions were enabeld).
The progress tests are affected by calls to time.time() so they needed to be
updated to pass.
When running commands like 'hg export -o mypatch-%N.patch', the blackbox
would throw an exception because it tried to format %N. This change
prevents it from trying to format the command string.
As mentioned in bug 2043, --config is also not supported in an alias. So report
this the same way as the other "early" options.
Example with alias.broken = stat --config a.config=1
Before:
$ hg broken
abort: Option --config may not be abbreviated!
After:
$ hg broken
error in definition for alias 'broken': --config may only be given on the command line
User 'timeless' in irc mentioned that having the blackbox be
translated would result in logs that:
- may be mixed language, if multiple users use the same repo
- are not google searchable (since searching for english gives more
results)
- might not be readable by an admin if the employee is using hg in
his native language
And therefore we should log everything in english.
Uses ui.log to log which commands are run, their exit code, the time taken,
and any unhandled exceptions thrown.
Example log lines:
2013/02/09 08:35:19 durham> add foo
2013/02/09 08:35:19 durham> add exited 0 after 0.02 seconds
Updates the progress tests because they use a mocked time.time() which these
changes affect.
The number of output lines was hardcoded to 30.
There was a 'nested' configuration options that controlled something else
related to counting the number of output lines.
This introduces the profiling.limit configuration option for controlling the
number of profiling output to show.
We ensure all repositores created through `mercurial.hg.repository`
are "hidden" filtered. This is an even stronger enforcement than
86530c899687.
Citing Matt's response to changeset 86530c899687 installing filtering
in dispatch:
> Unfortunately, this means that code that doesn't go through dispatch (ie all
> those crazy misguided people using Mercurial as a library) are going to see
> these hidden changesets.
>
> Might be better to instead install the filter in localrepo construction by
> default and disable it in dispatch.
The dispatch code now enables filtering of "hidden" changesets globally. The
filter is installed before command and extension invocation. The `--hidden`
switch is now global and disables this filtering for any command.
Code in log dedicated to changeset exclusion is removed as this global filtering
has the same effect.
Mercurial would sometimes exit with:
abort: No such file or directory
where str of the actual OSError exception was the more helpful:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
The exception will now always show the filename and quote it:
abort: No such file or directory: ''
When extensions had an empty `testedwith` attribute the code tried to parse it
and failed. As a result the actual error were shallowed by a This crash.
We now treat empty strip as 'unknown'
Maintain a whitelist of commands to infer the repo for instead. The whitelist
contains those commands that take file(s) in the working dir as arguments.
The "worst" extension still is the one tested with the lowest tested version
below the current version of Mercurial, but if an extension with was only
tested with newer versions, it is considered a candidate for a bad extension,
too. In this case extensions which have been tested with higher versions of
Mercurial are considered better. This allows finding the oldest extension if
ct can't be calculated correctly and therefore defaults to an empty tuple, and
it involves less changes to the comparison logic during the current code
freeze.
When developing, we may see non-standard version strings of the form
5d64306f39bb+20120525
which caused tuplever() to raise
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '5d64306f39bb'
and shadowing the real traceback.
Extension authors should explicitly declare their supported hg
versions and include a buglink attribute in their extension. In the
event that a traceback occurs, we'll identify the
least-recently-tested extensionas the most likely source of the defect
and suggest the user disable that extension.
Packagers should make every effort to ship hg versions from exact
tags, or with as few modifications as possible so that the versioning
can work appropriately.
Commands working without a repository, like "init", are listed in
commands.norepo. Commands optionally using a repository, like "showconfig", are
listed in commands.optionalrepo. Command aliases were inheriting the former but
not the latter.
