Add the `--shell-arg` and `--clear-shell-args` flags, which allow
setting and clearing arguments to the shell from the command line.
This allows full control over the shell from the command line. Additionally,
any shell-related arguments on the command line override
`set shell := [...]` in the Justfile, which I think will be the behavior that most
people expect.
Modifies parsing to return strongly-typed `Thunk`s, which contain both
the function implementation, as well as the correct number of arguments.
This moves unknown function and function argument count mismatch errors
to parse time.
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.
When `--init` is passed on the command line, search upward for the
project root, identified by the presence of a VCS directory like `.git`,
falling back to the current directory, and create a default justfile in
that directory.
Previously, we used `fs::canonicalize` to ensure paths used in search
were absolute. This lead to bad behavior when the justfile was symbolic
link to a file in another directory. Additionally, on Windows, this
produced paths in extended length syntax, which, I believe, has
compatibility issues.
This diff replaces uses of `fs::canonicalize` with a simpler algorithm
that roots path in the invocation directory (which will be a no-op if
said path is already absolute), uses `Path::components` to remove extra
`/` and `.`, and resolves instances of `..` without following symlinks, by
removing the `..` and the component that proceeds it.
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.
Moves the code which executes subcommands into Subcommand:run,
delegating to separate functions for each subcommand. This reduces the
disgustingness of `run::run` a bit, and paves the way for future
refactoring and cleanup.
Move `env::set_current_dir` outside of `Config::from_matches()` and into
`run()`. It's a bit cleaner this way, and sets us up to make the just
process not change its own directory at all, instead explicitly changing
the working directory of its child processes.
Borrow errors produced by an older version of rust forced us to create
copies of errors in the recipe resolver. The borrow checker appears to
have evolved to the point where these copies are unnecessary, so this
diff removes them.
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
- Refactor the lexer tests to be more readable, abandoning the
previous string-based summary DSL in favor of a more obvious
sequence of `TokenKinds` with optional lexemes. The new tests
also test that token lexemes are correct.
- Move duplicated `unindent` function into a shared crate,
`test-utilities`. This new versionless dev-dependency will
prevent publishing to crates.io, at least until rust-lang/cargo/pull/7333
makes it into stable. If we publish a new version before then,
test-utilities will need to be published to crates.io, so we can depend
on it by version.
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!'
The generated man page doesn't look great by default, so this also adds the
help4help2man feature, which makes Just print a help message that produces
a better man page.
Just's dependency on brev was the cause of a
fairly deep branch of the transitive dependency
tree. To decrease build time and make the life of
packagers easier, this diff moves the functionality
that Just was using in Brev into Just itself, and
removes the dependency on Brev.
Fortunately, the only functionality that Just was
using was the output function and OutputError
enum, so this was easily done.
The parser could be confused into calling `PutBack::put_back` twice in a row, and thus dropping tokens. This commit switches to `PutBackN`, which allows any number of put backs in a row.
The invalid escape sequence error message is delimited with backticks
and isn't used as input to other programs. This diff tweaks the escaping rules
slightly when printing invalid escape sequences. In particular, `, \, ',
and " are now not be escaped.
`env_var(key)` looks up the value of the environment variable with name `key`, aborting execution if it is not found.
`env_var_or_default(key, default)` looks up the value of the environment variable with name `key`, returning `default` if it is not found.
