Add a new setting "skip-comments", which defaults to true. If unset,
this causes lines internal to a non-shebang recipe beginning with the
character '#' (including '#!' internal to a non-shebang recipe; that is,
any such instances occurring after the first line of a recipe) to be
treated as comments of the justfile itself. They will not be echoed to
stderr when the recipe executes.
This commit adds a `Loader` type, which can be used to load multiple
source strings. This was done to support the work on modules, but
coincidentally enabled consolidating errors, since now `Config::run`
can take a `&Loader`, and in the event of an error, return and `Error`
that borrows from loaded strings. Multiple error types have been
consolidated, and a bunch of ad-hoc error printing was removed.
It's been around two and a half years, and many versions, since this
warning was first introduced, so it feels reasonable to finally turn it
into a hard error. It will remain a special-cased error for a little
while.
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.
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.
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`.
