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}!
Ref: #4273Fix: #3746Fix: #3844
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.
Introduced in dcae28c83a, because ignore-errors was being used for the
wrong epg-* function.
Why this happens: epg-make-context throws this error if you don't have a
GnuPG environment set up.
Fix: #6114
Amend: dcae28c83a
...Rather than current directory.
While +default/search-project-for-symbol-at-point should operate out of
the current project's root, +default/search-notes-for-symbol-at-point
must operate out of org-directory, and no where else, even if
org-directory is not a valid project. 411ed0c8f8 was written to fix
that, but it indirectly broke
'+default/search-project-for-symbol-at-point' (causing it to always
resolve to the current directory, rather than the current project's
root).
Amend: 411ed0c8f8Fix: #5831
Fewer links means less confusion.
- Merge doom-issue and doom-commit links into doom-ref (for auto-linking
Issue/PR/commit references).
- Merge doom-module-source and doom-docs-source links into doom-source.
- Rename doom-report-issue to doom-report.
- Use '!' as the icon for module issues link.
- Remove doom-repo (replaced with "doom:*" in :lang org module).
- Add doomdir and emacsdir links to :lang org module.
It was `evil-show-registers' that we wanted, not
`evil-ex-registers' (which never existed in the first place). Folks who
did not have :completion ivy enabled (e.g. vertico and helm users) would
see 'commandp, evil-ex-registers' errors when pressing `SPC i r`. Folks
who had it enabled would transparently invoke `counsel-evil-registers'
instead (because it was remapped).
Fix: #5753
Commands that delegate to `+default/search-project-for-symbol-at-point`
to search a directory (like +default/org-notes-search) would not scope
searches to default-directory.
+default/yank-buffer-path-relative-to-project: with non-nil prefix arg,
copy the file name relative to the project root's parent.
Sometimes we also want to specify the project name to let others know
which is the currently mentioned project.
Since multi-line inputs are useless to consult-line and swiper, I've
changed +default/search-buffer to be more DWIM (do-what-I-mean). i.e. if
a selection is active when invoking it, and...
- The selection is multi-line: restrict the search to that region.
- The selection is *not* multi-line: use the selection as the initial
input.
- Otherwise, search the whole buffer as normal.
BREAKING CHANGE: remove +vertico/(next|previous)-candidate-preview.
BREAKING CHANGE: Move vertico-(next|previous)-group to C-M-j/k now that
C-S-j/k now default back to scrolling up and down pages.
Update docs to reflect these changes.
Unify flycheck-list-errors and flymake-show-diagnostics-buffer under
+default/diagnostics, and use consult-lsp-diagnostics if the lsp and
vertico modules are active.
+default/search-buffer now correctly uses the active selection when
invoking `consult-line` (on 'SPC s s' or 'SPC s b').
Close#5406
