Prior to this change, if a Python hook module failed to load (e.g. due
to an import error or path problem), it was impossible to figure out
why the error occurred, because the ImportErrors that got raised were
caught but never displayed.
If run with --traceback or ui.traceback=True, hg now prints tracebacks
of both of the ImportError instances that get raised before it bails.
We regularly see people on IRC ask how they can correct commits they
accidentally made without having configured a username. This change
will make Mercurial abort when a commit is made without a username.
If Mercurial is run without a TTY (from a cronjob or similar), a
username is constructed as usual. Schematically the changes are as
follows:
With ui.askusername=False:
old new
interactive user@host abort
noninteractive user@host user@host
With ui.askusername=True:
old new
interactive prompt prompt
noninteractive user@host user@host
ui.prompt was completely silent in non-interactive mode, unless in verbose
mode. It is fine that it chooses the default automatically, but it is confusing
that the message and prompt shown interactively can't be found in scripted
tests.
The prompt and selection is now .write'ed instead of .note'ed.
The fstat function was undefined, but never used since a stat object
was always passed in the optional st argument. Passing st is now
mandatory.
This bug crept in when util was split up into posix and windows
modules. The fstat function is still defined in util, but importing it
into posix would create an import cycle which seems unnecessary.
The property returns os.environ by default, and is propagated by ui.copy.
During hgweb processing, ui.environ is set to the proper WSGI-request
environment, as contained in wsgirequest.environ. For CGI, this is the
same as os.environ.
The property is meant to be read-only, as with os.environ (generally).
The built-in None object is a singleton and it is therefore safe to
compare memory addresses with is. It is also faster, how much depends
on the object being compared. For a simple type like str I get:
| s = "foo" | s = None
----------+-----------+----------
s == None | 0.25 usec | 0.21 usec
s is None | 0.17 usec | 0.17 usec
This cleans up code and allows specification of values more globally. For
example, it's now possible to specify web.contact in webdir-conf for all
repositories without a specified contact set.
Use ampersands (&) to delineate the response char in each choice.
ui.prompt() responses are now explicitly case insensitive. GUIs
that subclass ui can generate dialogs from the full choice names.
When ui.askusername is set and not username are specified on the command line,
in hgrc or in the variables $HGUSER or $EMAIL, then hg will prompt for the
username.
Feature requested, and documentation provided by Mark Edgington.
- open pipe in binary mode
- don't start a pager if stdout is not a tty (this prevents test-ssh
from hanging if you set ui.usepager=True in run-tests.py)
Unix systems usually have a PAGER environment variable set.
If it is set, mercurial will use the pager application to display
output.
Two configuration variables are available to influence the behaviour of the
pager. ui.pager sets the pager application. The pager is
only used if ui.usepager is true. By default ui.usepager is disabled.
Python already lets one to embed RE flags directly in a regex, which
is a much nicer way to do things:
(?iLmsux)
(One or more letters from the set "i", "L", "m", "s", "u", "x".)
...
matchflags was introduced in 14a7e862c60f, and the record extension is the only
user. I've killed matchflag, and adjusted record code appropriately.
Since change 0f20f68c768c, Mercurial has set_binary() on stdin, stdout, and stderr.
On Windows, this had the side effect of causing raw_input() to emit trailing carriage
returns on it's returned strings. This was causing web authentication problems.
WSGI applications are not supposed to refer to sys.stdin. In af5aceab19f4,
hgweb and hgwebdir were fixed to pass interactive=False to their ui()'s, but
sys.stdin.isatty() was still called by the ui objects. This change makes sure
only the ui.fixconfig() method will call ui.isatty() (by making the
ui._readline() method, which is currently only called from ui.prompt(),
private). ui.fixconfig() is changed to let config files override the initial
interactivity setting, but not check isatty() if interactive=False was
specified in the creation of the ui.
