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.
Before this patch, crecord was crashing for large diffs
(30k lines on my laptop). This patch catches the exception raised in that case
and use the error reporting mechanism introduced in the previous patch for
notifying the user of the issue. It is not possible to add a test for that for
now as we don't yet have full blown ui tests for the curses interface.
Before this patch, we couldn't report to the user any error that occurred:
- after we enabled the curses interface but
- before the interface is set up and drawn
This patch, provides a way to set errors that happens during the initialization
of the interface and log them once the curses interface has been displayed.
Before this patch:
- if a user was entering a commit message after having ran the curses
interface
- and then uses ctrl-z, followed by fg to put the editor in the
background/foreground
- then the curses interface would leave artefact on the screen of
the editor, making entering the commit message a difficult task
This happened because ncurses registers a signal handler for SIGTSTP and
does not restore the original signal handler after running.

This patch restores the original value of the signal handler after
running the curses interface and therefore fixes this issue.
It don't know how to add a test for this issue, I tested the scenario
above manually and it works correctly with the patch.
Before this patch, when editing a hunk, if the editor was exiting with a non-
zero status the crecord session would be aborted. This patch makes crecord
handle the failure and goes back to the state before the failed edition.
We use the new error reporting mechanism introduced in the previous patch to
notify the user of the issue.
Before this patch, there was no way to report errors in the crecord ui.
This patch introduces a new variable errorstr. If set, its content replaces the
top banner displayed in crecord until a key is pressed.
This is useful to reuse the logic to implement the continuation of the crecord
session if the user edits a hunk and the editor exits with a non-zero status.
When moving crecord to core, I did a search an replace to remove all of the
variable with caps letter. Doing so, I unfortunately changed some commands
with capital letter shortcut to their lowercase counterpart. I fixed one
of these cases in bfcbb3995330. This patch fixes all of the remaining cases.
When moving crecord to core, I did a search an replace to remove all of the
variable with caps letter. Doing so, I unfortunately changed the 'F' command
to 'f' leading to two 'f' commands, one never used. This patch fixes this
mistake and re enables the behavior of 'F'.
Before this patch, with record's curses interface:
- When one pressed the ? key to see the help menu and then leaves the help menu
- Then, blue artifacts would remain on the screen
This patch forces a screen clear / refresh after coming back from the help menu.
Since we don't have UI test for crecord I checked on my machine that the bug
does not reproduce.
This patch is part of a series of patches to change the recording ui to reflect
the operation currently running (commit, shelve, revert ...).
This patch adds the default value of the operation argument for record's
standard and curses interface to match what is displayed in the interface
as of today.
This patch is part of a series of patches to change the recording ui to reflect
the operation currently running (commit, shelve, revert ...).
This patch adds a new argument to the recording function to reflect in the UI
what operation we are running.
We are using record and crecord in different context, not just for commiting
changes but also reverting and shelving changes. This diff changes the wording
from commiting to confirming changes to avoid confusing the users with what
they are doing.
We are adding this log message to reduce a confusion when a command prints
something just before starting the curses interface.
Since the interactive mode is taking over the entire screen, starts with no
delay and does wait for a key press, the user believes that messages printed
before opening the interactive mode were actually printed after using
interactive mode, not before.
The fix adds the line "Starting interactive mode" helping the user separate
the messages that were printed before and after the start of the
interactive mode.
One particular example where this was a problem is the revert command where we
first print the list of changes to be considered for revert, then opens the
curses interface right away without letting the user see the messages.
The user then selects the changes, validates and then see the messages from
before opening the interactive mode and is confused.
With record's curses interface toggling and untoggling a newly added
file would lead to a confusing UI (the header was marked as partial
and the hunks as unselected). Tested additionally using the curses
interface with newly added, removed and modified files in a test repo.
This is the hack portion of the previous patch, which can be backed out once we
figure out how to deal with curses. Without this, the tests affected by the
import problem mentioned in the previous patch fail in exactly the same way, but
with the nicer 'module not available' error.
'fcntl', 'termios' and 'wcurses' are not available on the default Windows python
installation, and importing them caused widespread carnage in the test suite.
There were 29 different changed test files (on top of unrelated errors), mostly
in the form of an ImportError.
The failures weren't related to actual crecord use, and followed the import
chain:
'localrepo' -> 'subrepo' -> 'cmdutil' -> 'crecord' -> 'fcntl'
