Add a setting that exports all variables by default, regardless of
whether they use the `export` keyword. This includes assignments as well
as parameters.
Just does dependency analysis of variable uses, allowing variables to be
used out of order in assignments, as long as there are no circular
dependencies.
However, use of environment variable is not known to Just, so exported
variables are only exported to child scopes, to avoid ordering dependencies,
since dependency analysis cannot be done.
The `--choose` subcommand runs a chooser to select a recipe to run. The
chooser should read lines containing recipe names from standard input,
and write one of those names to standard output.
The chooser defaults to `fzf`, a popular fuzzy finder, but can be
overridden by setting $JUST_CHOOSER or passing `--chooser <CHOOSER>`.
If an environment variable exists with the same key as a variable from a
`.env` file, skip the variable from the `.env` file in favor fo the key
from the environment.
During analysis, resolve alias targets from `Name`s to `Rc<Recipe>`,
giving us type-level assurance that alias resolution was performed, and
avoiding the need to look up alias targets in a separate table when
running.
Make analysis resolve recipe dependencies from names (`Name`) to recipes
(`Rc<Recipe>`), to give type-level certainty that resolution was performed
correctly and remove the need to look up dependencies on run.
Add a `set SETTING := VALUE` construct.
This construct is intended to be extended as needed with new settings,
but for now we're starting with `set shell := [COMMAND, ARG1, ...]`,
which allows setting the shell to use for recipe and backtick execution
in a justfile.
One of the primary reasons for adding this feature is to have a better
story on windows, where users are forced to scrounge up an `sh` binary
if they want to use `just`. This should allow them to use cmd.exe or
powershell in their justfiles, making just optionally dependency-free.
This diff makes positional argument parsing much cleaner, along with
adding a bunch of tests. Just's positional argument parsing is rather,
complex, so hopefully this reform allows it to both be correct and stay
correct.
User-visible changes:
- `just ..` is now accepted, with the same effect as `just ../`
- `just .` is also accepted, with the same effect as `just`
- It is now an error to pass arguments or overrides to subcommands
that do not accept them, namely `--dump`, `--edit`, `--list`,
`--show`, and `--summary`. It is also an error to pass arguments to
`--evaluate`, although `--evaluate` does of course still accept
overrides.
(This is a breaking change, but hopefully worth it, as it will allow us
to add arguments to subcommands which did not previously take
them, if we so desire.)
- Subcommands which do not accept arguments may now accept a
single search-directory argument, so `just --list ../` and
`just --dump foo/` are now accepted, with the former starting the
search for the justfile to list in the parent directory, and the latter
starting the search for the justfile to dump in `foo`.
- Instead of changing the current directory with `env::set_current_dir`
to be implicitly inherited by subprocesses, we now use
`Command::current_dir` to set it explicitly. This feels much better,
since we aren't dependent on the implicit state of the process's
current directory.
- Subcommand execution is much improved.
- Added a ton of tests for config parsing, config execution, working
dir, and search dir.
- Error messages are improved. Many more will be colored.
- The Config is now onwed, instead of borrowing from the arguments and
the `clap::ArgMatches` object. This is a huge ergonomic improvement,
especially in tests, and I don't think anyone will notice.
- `--edit` now uses `$VISUAL`, `$EDITOR`, or `vim`, in that order,
matching git, which I think is what most people will expect.
- Added a cute `tmptree!{}` macro, for creating temporary directories
populated with directories and files for tests.
- Admitted that grammer is LL(k) and I don't know what `k` is.
Just's first parser performed both parsing, i.e the transformation of a
token stream according to the language grammar, and a number of consistency
checks and analysis passes.
This made parsing and analysis quite complex, so this diff introduces a
new, much cleaner `Parser`, and moves existing analysis into a dedicated
`Analyzer`.
- Differentiate between `arg`s, which are flags and options, and `cmd`s,
which are mutually exclusive subcommands
- Replace string literals, like "EVALUATE", with constants, like
`cmd::EVALUATE`, since they're slightly less error prone.
- Remove `Config::evaluate`, and handle it like other subcommands
run::run() is pretty unwieldy. As a first step in improving it, this
commit pulls most of the argument parsing into the `config` module.
It also renames `Configuration` to `Config`, just to be easier to type.
Previously, warnings upon encountering a deprecated use `=` in
assignments, exports, and aliases would print a message without any
indication of where the offending `=` was. This diff adds a proper
`Warning` enum, and uses it to report context, as is done with
compilation and runtime errors.
Eventually, there will probably be a `crate` visibility specifier that
does the same thing as `pub(crate)`. This commit replaces `pub` with
`pub(crate)`, so when `crate` is available we can easily switch to it.
Given the following justfile:
alias b := build
build:
echo 'Building!'
Just will show the alias along with the recipe:
$ just --show b
alias b := build
build:
echo 'Building!'
