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.
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.
Originally, the addition of the 'shorten' template function in 83d773060c28
would not consider pure integers for shortening. This patch considers two
simple cases: when the integer starts with zero (which is parsed by Mercurial
as a hash first) and when the integer is larger than the tip (obviously not a
rev).
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.
Pure mercurial (i.e. without c extensions) does not support partialmatch() on
the revlog index, so we must fall back to use revlog._partialmatch() to handle
that case for us. The tests caught this.
We don't use revlog._partialmatch() for the normal case because it performs a
very expensive index iteration when the string being tested fails to find a
unique result via index.partialmatch(). It does this in order to filter
out hidden revs in hopes of the string being unique amongst non-hidden revs.
For the shortest(node) case, we'd prefer performance over worrying about
hidden revs.
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
|
Running `hg log --style compact` (or any other style) raised a traceback when
no template directory was there. Now there is a message:
Abort: style 'compact' not found
(available styles: no templates found, try `hg debuginstall` for more info)
There is no test because this would require to rename the template directory.
But this would influence other tests running in parallel. And when the test
would be aborted the wrong named directory would remain, especially a problem
when running with -l.
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 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.
During merge of branches, it is useful to compare merge results against
the two parents. This change adds this support to hgweb. To specify
which parent to compare to, use rev/12300:12345 where 12300 is a
parent changeset number. Two links are added to changeset web page so
that one can choose which parent to compare to.
If a template iterator is implemented with generator, the iterator is exhau=

after we use it. This leads to undesired behavior in template. This chang=

converts a generator-based iterator to list-based iterator when template en=

first detects a generator-based iterator. All future usages of iterator wi=

use list instead.
