- Combine and simplify string and backtick lexing.
- Allow newlines in strings and backticks.
- Add triple-delimited indented strings and backticks. Common indented literal non-blank line leading whitespace is stripped.
- If a literal newline is escaped, it will be suppressed.
- Backticks starting with `#!` are reserved for a future upgrade.
Unify lexing of backticks, cooked strings, and raw strings. Also allow
newlines in backticks and cooked strings, since I can't think of a reason
not to.
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.
Add conditional expressions of the form:
foo := if lhs == rhs { then } else { otherwise }
`lhs`, `rhs`, `then`, and `otherwise` are all arbitrary expressions, and
can recursively include other conditionals. Conditionals short-circuit,
so the branch not taken isn't evaluated.
It is also possible to test for inequality with `==`.
Remove all manual tracking of which tokens would have been accepted by
the parser in favor of having the parser add tokens that it checks for
to a set of expected tokens, clearing them when it accepts a token, and
using the current contents of the set in error messages.
This is a massive improvement, and will make the parser easier to
modify going forward.
And, this actually solves my sole issue with hand-written parsers.
Thanks to matklad on reddit for suggesting this!
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.
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.
- 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`.
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.
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.
`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.
