Meant as a simple elisp interpreter with Doom's CLI framework preloaded.
Can be used as a shebang line:
#!/usr/bin/env doomscript
(princ "hello world!")
This isn't used for bin/doom because it requires doomscript be in your
$PATH, and any attempt to resolve its location in bin/doom's shebang
line would reduce its portability. Neither of these should be an issue
for the type of user who'd find this useful.
BREAKING CHANGE: this changes Doom's CLI framework in subtle ways, which
is listed in greater detail below. If you've never extended Doom's CLI,
then this won't affect you, but otherwise it'd be recommended you read
on below.
This commit focuses on the CLI framework itself and backports some
foundational changes to its DSL and how it resolves command line
arguments to CLIs, validates input, displays documentation, and persists
state across sessions -- and more. This is done in preparation for the
final stretch towarding completing the CLI rewrite (see #4273).
This is also an effort to generalize Doom's CLI (both its framework and
bin/doom), to increase it versatility and make it a viable dev tool for
other Doom projects (on our Github org) and beyond.
However, there is a *lot* to cover so I'll try to be brief:
- Refactor: generalize Doom's CLI framework by moving all bin/doom
specific configuration/commands out of core-cli into bin/doom. This
makes it easier to use bin/doom as a project-agnostic development
tool (or for users to write their own).
- Refactor: change the namespace for CLI variables/functions from
doom-cli-X to doom-X.
- Fix: subcommands being mistaken as arguments. "doom make index" will
resolve to (defcli! (doom make index)) if it exists,
otherwise (defcli! (doom make)) with "index" as an argument. Before
this, it would resolve to the latter no matter what. &rest can
override this; with (defcli! (doom make) (&rest args)), (defcli! (doom
make index)) will never be invoked.
- Refactor!: redesign our output library (was core/autoload/output.el,
is now core/autoload/print.el), and how our CLI framework buffers and
logs output, and now merges logs across (exit! ...) restarts.
- Feat: add support for :before and :after pseudo commands. E.g.
(defcli! (:before doom help) () ...)
(defcli! (:after doom sync) () ...)
Caveat: unlike advice, only one of each can be defined per-command.
- Feat: option arguments now have rudimentary type validation (see
`doom-cli-option-arg-types`). E.g.
(defcli! (doom foo) ((foo ("--foo" num))) ...)
If NUM is not a numeric, it will throw a validation error.
Any type that isn't in `doom-cli-option-arg-types` will be treated as a
wildcard string type. `num` can also be replaced with a specification,
e.g. "HOST[:PORT]", and can be formatted by using symbol quotes:
"`HOST'[:`PORT']".
- Feat: it is no longer required that options *immediately* follow the command
that defines them (but it must be somewhere after it, not before). E.g.
With:
(defcli! (:before doom foo) ((foo ("--foo"))) ...)
(defcli! (doom foo baz) () ...)
Before:
FAIL: doom --foo foo baz
GOOD: doom foo --foo baz
FAIL: doom foo baz --foo
After:
FAIL: doom --foo foo baz
GOOD: doom foo --foo baz
GOOD: doom foo baz --foo
- Refactor: CLI session state is now kept in a doom-cli-context struct (which
can be bound to a CLI-local variable with &context in the arglist):
(defcli! (doom sync) (&context context)
(print! "Command: " (doom-cli-context-command context)))
These contexts are persisted across sessions (when restarted). This is
necessary to support seamless script restarting (i.e. execve
emulation) in post-3.0.
- Feat: Doom's CLI framework now understands "--". Everything after it will be
treated as regular arguments, instead of sub-commands or options.
- Refactor!: the semantics of &rest for CLIs has changed. It used to be "all
extra literal, non-option arguments". It now means *all* unprocessed
arguments, and its use will suppress "unrecognized option" errors, and
tells the framework not to process any further subcommands. Use &args
if you just want "all literal arguments following this command".
- Feat: add new auxiliary keywords for CLI arglists: &context, &multiple,
&flags, &args, &stdin, &whole, and &cli.
- &context SYM: binds the currently running context to SYM (a
`doom-cli-context` struct). Helpful for introspection or passing
along state when calling subcommands by hand (with `call!`).
- &stdin SYM: SYM will be bound to a string containing any input piped
into the running script, or nil if none. Use
`doom-cli-context-pipe-p` to detect whether the script has been
piped into or out of.
- &multiple OPTIONS...: allows all following OPTIONS to be repeated. E.g. "foo
-x a -x b -x c" will pass (list ("-x" . "a") ("-x" . "b") ("-x" .
"c")) as -x's value.
- &flags OPTIONS...: All options after "&flags" get an implicit --no-* switch
and cannot accept arguments. Will be set to :yes or :no depending on which flag is
provided, and nil if the flag isn't provided. Otherwise, a default
value can be specified in that options' arglist. E.g.
(defcli! (doom foo) (&flags (foo ("--foo" :no))) ...)
When called, this command sets FOO to :yes if --foo, :no if --no-foo, and
defaults to :no otherwise.
- &args SYM: this replaces what &rest used to be; it binds to SYM a
list of all unprocessed (non-option) arguments.
- &rest SYM: now binds SYM to a list of all unprocessed arguments, including
options. This also suppresses "unrecognized option" errors, but will render
any sub-commands inaccessible. E.g.
(defcli! (doom make) (&rest rest) ...)
;; These are now inaccessible!
(defcli! (doom make foo) (&rest rest) ...)
(defcli! (doom make bar) (&rest rest) ...)
- &cli SYM: binds SYM to the currently running `doom-cli` struct. Can also be
obtained via `(doom-cli-get (doom-cli-context-command context))`. Possibly
useful for introspection.
- feat: add defobsolete! macro for quickly defining obsolete commands.
- feat: add defalias! macro for quickly defining alias commands.
- feat: add defautoload! macro for defining an autoloaded command (won't
be loaded until it is called for).
- refactor!: rename defcligroup! to defgroup! for consistency.
- fix: CLIs will now recursively inherit plist properties from parent
defcli-group!'s (but will stack :prefix).
- refactor!: remove obsolete 'doom update':
- refactor!: further generalize 'doom ci'
- In an effort to generalize 'doom ci' (so other Doom--or
non-doom--projects can use it), all its subcommands have been
changed to operate on the current working directory's repo instead
of $EMACSDIR.
- Doom-specific CI configuration was moved to .github/ci.el.
- All 'doom ci' commands will now preload one of \$CURRENT_REPO_ROOT/ci.el or
\$DOOMDIR/ci.el before executing.
- refactor!: changed 'doom env'
- 'doom env {-c,--clear}' is now 'doom env {clear,c}'
- -r/--reject and -a/--allow may now be specified multiple times
- refactor!: rewrote CLI help framework and error handling to be more
sophisticated and detailed.
- feat: can now initiate $PAGER on output with (exit! :pager) (or use
:pager? to only invoke pager is output is longer than the terminal is
tall).
- refactor!: changed semantics+conventions for global bin/doom options
- Single-character global options are now uppercased, to distinguish them from
local options:
- -d (for debug mode) is now -D
- -y (to suppress prompts) is now -!
- -l (to load elisp) is now -L
- -h (short for --help) is now -?
- Replace --yes/-y switches with --force/-!
- -L/--load FILE: now silently ignores file errors.
- Add --strict-load FILE: does the same as -L/--load, but throws an error if
FILE does not exist/is unreadable.
- Add -E/--eval FORM: evaluates arbitrary lisp before commands are processed.
- -L/--load, --strict-load, and -E/--eval can now be used multiple times in
one command.
- Add --pager COMMAND to specify an explicit pager. Will also obey
$DOOMPAGER envvar. Does not obey $PAGER.
- Fix#3746: which was likely caused by the generated post-script overwriting
the old mid-execution. By salting the postscript filenames (with both an
overarching session ID and a step counter).
- Docs: document websites, environment variables, and exit codes in
'doom --help'
- Feat: add imenu support for def{cli,alias,obsolete}!

This fix ensures that functions/macros that are evaluated with +eval/*
et co will remember where they were defined (if possible), so you don't
have to see this in their documentation again:
FUNCTION is a function without a source file.
Ref: https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs/pull/6444#issuecomment-1159457888
The keybindings M--, M-=, and C-- override the built-in commands
negative-argument and count-words-region. Moreover, the C-- command,
er/contract-region, is already bound transiently to
expand-region-contract-fast-key while expanding regions.
Restructures Doom's primary core files and entry points to prepare for
backports (from the new CLI) coming soon.
- Removes $EMACSDIR/init.el.
- Doom configures Emacs to ignore ~/.emacs and ~/_emacs files.
- Doom's bootstrapper for interactive sessions was moved out of core.el
and doom-initialize into doom-start.el. This change is preparation for
Doom's new profile system (coming soon™️), where this bootstrapper
will be dynamically generated.
- core.el and early-init.el have been reorganized, comment headers moved
around, and comments updated to reflect these changes.
use-package's :after keyword introduces some load order behavior that
complicates the user's ability to target it with either after! or
with-eval-after-load. Best to avoid it.
Ref: jwiegley/use-package#829
I change `user-emacs-directory' because most (if not all) packages --
even built-in ones -- abuse it exclusively to build paths for
storage/cache files (instead of correctly using
`locate-user-emacs-file'). This ensures your $EMACSDIR isn't littered
with data files *and* saves us the trouble of setting every
directory/file variable under the sun.
Granted, this introduces an edge case for any legitimate uses of the
variable (e.g. where the caller seeks to locate the user's initfiles),
but I've found no such uses in any of the packages I've audited for Doom
or elsewhere.
evil-collection-magit-section introduces some redundant keybinds on
number keys 1-4, so our hack to correct these keys needed an adjustment.
And by unbinding these keys at the source (magit-section-mode-map), we
don't have to do the same for each inheriting keymap (like
code-review-mode-map and magit-mode-map).

The precise semantics of use-package's :after keyword is janky (see
jwiegley/use-package#829) and, in the case of 992bd8f7e2, causes
subtle breakage. For one, the remappings in the following :init block
were deferred until embark loaded, so they weren't available at startup,
so they reverted to their old (often vastly inferior) predecessors, like
recentf-open-files instead of consult-recent-files.
Amend: 992bd8f7e2
NSM has better UX when an invalid/expired certificate is encountered: it
prompts the user to decide what to do with it. If gnutls-verify-error is
non-nil, gnutls either kills or hangs the connection. This is (mostly)
acceptable in noninteractive sessions, where I can more tightly control
outgoing connections, but not in interactive sessions where I stand a
higher chance of stepping on the user's toes instead.
Ref: emacs-circe/circe#405
Currently, embark-consult bindings don't get loaded if consult hasn't
been loaded yet, leading to missing embark actions until the first
manual consult load.
Corfu makes completion-in-region-function a local variable in buffers
where it is enabled, so when this form is evaluated in one of those said
buffers (such as opening a file with Emacs before accessing the
minibuffer), completion-in-region-function will just be set locally
there.
