This is basically the same as string kind:pattern syntax in CLI. This will
hopefully be superseded by filesets, but I'm not sure if that will work out.
A file name is more likely to contain whitespaces, which will have to be
quoted as '"Documents and Settings"'.
There are no more callers of parse_function_argument_to_string(), so it's
removed. This function was a thin wrapper of literal parser, and can be
easily reintroduced if needed.
Parallelize revisions by making them siblings
Running `jj parallelize 1::2` will transform the history like this:
```text
3
| 3
2 / \
| -> 1 2
1 \ /
| 0
0
```
Each of the target revisions is rebased onto the parents of the root(s) of
the target revset (not to be confused with the repo root). The children of
the head(s) of the target revset are rebased onto the target revisions.
The target revset is the union of the REVISIONS arguments.
The target revset being parallelized must satisfy several conditions,
otherwise the command will fail.
1. The heads of the target revset must not have different children.
2. The roots of the target revset must not have different parents.
3. The parents of all target revisions except the roots must also be
parallelized. This means that the target revisions must be connected.
The nightly compiler has several clippy fix-its that, if applied, break the
build. There are various bugs about this, but there isn't enough space in the
margins to detail it all.
Just ignore these on a per-function basis; about 70% of them are just multiple
instances happening inside a single function.
This makes `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets` run clean, even with the
nightly compiler.

This lets users use "large" revsets in commands such as `jj rebase`, without
needing the `all:` modifier.

After upgrading pest from 2.7.8 to 2.7.9, I noticed CLI tests got significantly
slow (something around 40sec -> 60sec on my laptop.) I suspect this would be
caused by detailed error state tracking introduced in 2.7.9, but it's also true
that our template grammar exercises such code path.
My understanding is that PEG is basically a top down parsing with unlimited
lookahead. Before this change, the default commit_summary template would be
parsed as follows:
1. parse the outermost separate(..) as "term"
2. "concat" rule can't continue, so
3. reparse the whole string as "expression"
Because this pattern is not uncommon, I think it's better to rewrite the
grammar to avoid large retry.
With this patch, our tests runs within ~50sec under debug build. It appears to
save a few milliseconds in release build, but my development environment isn't
quiet enough to say the difference is significant.
Offset is a more descriptive noun for this argument. This commit also tweaks
the help message for the argument.
This isn't an option/flag, so this change should be transparent to users.
This function doesn't actually need commits, it only needs their IDs. In some
contexts we may only have commit IDs, so there's no need to require an iterator
of Commits.
This commit also adds a `CommitIteratorExt` that makes it easy to convert an
iterator of `&Commit` to an iterator of `&CommitId`.
I'm going to make all WorkspaceCommandHelper::parse/resolve_revset functions
accept &RevisionArg, so I want a convenient way to unwrap Option<RevisionArg>.
Another option is to add an associated function that returns
RwvisionArg("@".to_owned()). As we wouldn't care for the allocation cost, either
approach should work fine.
I keep typing `--to` since I'm used to `jj move` interface. It is
also shorter.
Currently, if I type `--to`, clap unhelpfully suggests whether I
meant `--tool`.
Like -r/--revisions, it should be okay to filter synced/non-tracking remote
branches by name.
conflicts_with_all = "tracked" is redundant, so removed as well. The tracked
field declares that it conflicts with --all-remotes.
Since "all:" implies that the user doesn't care about the order of the
revisions within that argument, it should be okay if two "all:" sets overlapped.
resolve_revset_default_single() will be inlined instead. Since "default_single"
evaluation can return multiple revisions, the CLI interface usually accepts
multiple arguments. This suggests that there would be no external callers of
the singular resolve_revset_default_single().
I'm going to reorganize "single"/"default_single" revset functions in a way
that resolve_single_rev_with_hint_about_all_prefix() is inlined.
evaluate_revset_to_single_commit() could be a private method of
WorkspaceCommandHelper, but I want to minimize the code that has to be hosted
there.
When a commit is split, any branches pointing to it are moved to the second
commit created by the split. This is true even if the --siblings option is
used.
#3419
If the --siblings option is used, the target commit is split into two sibling
commits instead of parent and child commits. Any children of the original
commit will have both siblings as their new parents.
#2274
This refactor will allow us to reuse new `rebase_descendants` function for the
`jj split --siblings` feature (#2274) and later possibly for `jj parallelize`
(#1079).
Note that `jj resolve` already had its own `--quiet` flag. The output
with `--quiet` for that command got a lot quieter with the global
`--quiet` also taking effect. That seems reasonable to me.
When the caller needs a formatter, it's because they're doing
something non-trivial. When the user passed `--quiet` (see upcoming
patch), we should ideally skip doing related work for print the
formatting output. It helps if the `Ui` object doesn't even return a
`Formatter` then, so the caller is forced to handle the quiet case
differently.
Thanks to Yuya for the suggestion.
I'm about to make hints not get printed with `--quiet`, but error
hints are probably still useful to get. They shouldn't be a problem
for scripts since the script would have to deal with the error anyway.
evaluate_programmatic() should be allowed here. AFAIK, the contract is that
the expression should never contain any bare symbols and "fallible" symbol-like
expressions, which doesn't apply to branches() and remote_branches() functions.
evaluate_revset() is removed because there are no callers. However, it's simple
and basic function, so we might want to reintroduce it if needed.
Many callers of resolve_revset() and evaluate_revset() will be migrated to
this wrapper. "single" and "default_single" APIs won't be replaced because
they require more contexts to construct error messages.
id_prefix_context() now uses bare revset::parse() to avoid dependency cycle.
Templater doesn't have the one yet, but I think it belongs to the same
category.
For clap::Error, we could use clap's own mechanism to render suggestions as
"tip: ...", but I feel "Hint: ..." looks better because our error/hint message
is capitalized.
I'm going to add RevsetParseError constructor for InvalidFunctionArguments,
with/without a source error, and I don't want to duplicate code for all
combinations. The templater change is just for consistency.
I couldn't find a good naming convention for the builder-like API, so it's
called .with_source(mut self, _). Another option was .source_set(source).
Apparently, it's not uncommon to name consuming constructor as
with_<something>().
If "all:" is specified, an empty set should be allowed within that expression.
So the additional check we need here is to ensure that the resulting set is not
empty.
One less CLI revset helper. It might look odd that "jj rebase" says "Merge
failed" whereas "jj new" doesn't, but that depends on where the BackendError
is detected.
This commit moves the parse_string_pattern helper function into the
str_util module in jj lib and adds tests for it.
I'd like to reuse this code in a function defined by `UserSettings`, which is
part of the jj lib crate and cannot use functions from the cli crate.
The idea is that, if .extract() succeeded in static context, it means the
property can be evaluated as constant. This will potentially eliminate
expect_string_literal_with(), though I'm not too sure if it's a good idea.
If needed, maybe we can extend the idea to suppress type/name resolution errors
by "if(some_static_config_knob, x, y)".
This allows us to propagate property evaluation error to a string property. For
instance, "s.contains(x ++ y)" will be an error if "y" failed to evaluate,
whereas bare "x ++ y" shouldn't.
The other implementation ideas:
a. add Template::into_string_property() to enable strict evaluation
=> it's tedious to implement it for each printable type
b. pass (formatter, error_handler) arguments separately
=> works, but most implementors don't need error_handler argument
c. pass strict=bool flag around build_*() functions
=> didn't tried, but it would be more complicated than this patch
Because Template trait is now implementation detail of the templater, it
should be okay to use a non-standard formatter wrapper.
Commands like `new`, `duplicate`, and `abandon` can take multiple revset
arguments which results in their collective union. They take the revisions
directly as arguments. But for consistency with many other commands, they can
also take the `-r` argument, which is a no-op. However, due to the flag being
specified as a `bool`, the `-r` option can only be specified once, so e.g.
`abandon -r x -r y` often fails. I normally use `-r` for consistency and muscle
memory, so this bites me often.
Instead, use `clap::ArgAction::Count` in order to allow `-r` to be specified
multiple times. It remains unused, of course.
With this change, all the following invocations are equivalent. Before this
change, the second example would fail due to giving `-r` multiple times.
jj abandon x y
jj abandon -r x -r y
jj abandon -r 'x | y'
Note: `jj new` already supported this exact case actually, but it used an
awkward trick where it used `.overrides_with()` in order to override *itself* so
it could be specified multiple times. I believe this is a bit clearer.

This makes the summary line more informative. Even though it just duplicates
the message printed later, I think it's easier to follow.
This patch also adjusts some RevsetParseError messages because it seemed
redundant to repeat "revset function", "argument", etc.
Because the CLI error handler now prints error sources in multi-line format,
it doesn't make much sense to render Revset/TemplateParseError differently.
This patch also fixes the source() of the SyntaxError kind. It should be
self.pest_error.source() (= None), not self.pest_error.
I'm going to make TemplateParseError hold RevsetParseError as Box<dyn _>, but
Box<dyn std::error::Error ..> doesn't implement Eq. I could remove Eq from
ErrorKind enums, but it's handly if these enums remain as value types.
This change will also simplify fmt::Display and error::Error impls.
This can be used to flatten nested "if()"s. It's not exactly the same as "case"
or "switch" expression, but works reasonably well in template. It's not uncommon
to show placeholder text in place of an empty content, and a nullish value
(e.g. empty string, list, option) is usually rendered as an empty text.
A formatted error is not a string containing ANSI escape sequences because 1.
the output may be differently colored inside "hint", 2. the caller might not
be accessible to ui.new_formatter().
Highlighting "{n}: " will help to follow error sources containing multi-line
messages. I'm going to make revset/template alias errors be formatted as plain
error chain.
It's inconsistent that some warnings have headings and some don't, and it seems
the choice is arbitrary. Let's unify the style. There are two exceptions:
1. continued line following labeled message,
2. "unrecognized response" followed by prompt.
The lowercase "warning: " is unified to "Warning: " as it is the jj's
convention afaik.
The _default() suffix could be dropped from these methods, but it's probably
better to break the existing codebase for the moment. Otherwise, the caller
might do writeln!(ui.warning(), "Warning: ..").
The existing .hint() method is renamed to .hint_no_heading() to clarify that
it's not the default choice to print a hint. I'll add .hint_default() later,
which will be the shorthand for .hint_with_heading("Hint: ").
This will be used to label "Error: " heading and content differently. I want
to see an error message in the default (white) color because it's easier to
read, but I still want to highlight the "Error: " heading.
We can achieve that without introducing new wrapper, but the resulting code
would look something like "writeln!(ui.error("Error: ")?, ..)?", and it would
get messier if the caller had to suppress io::Error.
I don't think we have any callers left that call
`record_rewritten_commit()` multiple times within a transaction and
expect it to result in divergence. I think we should consider it a bug
to do that.
I'm going to introduce two changes: 1. indent commit summary, 2. colorize
output. The former can be implemented without using the templater API, but the
latter can't.
IntoTemplate will be cleaned up later. Perhaps, the lifetime parameter can be
removed at this point, but I'm planning to remove the IntoTemplate trait at all.
The type parameter 'C' will be removed from the Template trait, making it
represent a printable type or compiled template.
TemplateRenderer now holds Box<dyn _> template because it's unlikely that the
inner template type can be statically determined.
This fixes --change/--branch conflicts by making --change precede --branch. I
don't think this is the most obvious behavior, but it's the easiest workaround.
It could be moved before set_local_branch_target() to not update the local
branch, but it seemed weird that --change is silently ignored. This
inconsistency will be addressed later.
This helps to implement CommandError::add_hint(). The inner errors could be
embedded in the enum as before, but they're mostly of the same type. And I think
it's okay to use downcast_ref() to deal with the clap::Error special case.
I'm going to reorganize CommandError as (kind, err, hints) tuple so that we
can add_hint() to the constructed error object.
Some config error messages are slightly adjusted because the inner error is
now printed in separate line.
I think Option<Commit> is the simplest encoding of the log node.
The behavior of an Option type is closer to nullable types rather than the
Option in Rust. I don't think we would want to write opt.map(|x| x.f()) or
opt.unwrap().f(). We can of course add opt?.f() syntax, but it will be a short
for "if(opt, opt.f())"?
As requested in #1471, I added a new flag for `jj branch list` to only show branches that are conflicted.
Adds a unit test to check for listing only conflicted branches and regenerates the cli output to incorporate the new flag.
Closes#1471
reformat
These two are common when implementing methods. Fortunately, the
"return-position impl Trait in traits" feature is stabilized in Rust 1.75.0,
so we don't need another variant of TemplateFunction.
Apart from (IMO) looking nicer, this will also sidestep the potential problem
that if the file contains actual jj conflict markers (`>>>>>>>` in the beginning
of a line, for example), jj would currently have trouble materializing and
subsequently parsing conflicts in the file if it actually became conflicted.
I'll demo this bug in either this or a subsequent PR. It's the kind of bug that
sounds serious in theory but might never cause a problem in practice.
After this PR, only `docs/tutorial.md` has a conflict marker that's not indented.
There's only one there, so hopefully it won't be too much of a pain to deal with.
I also indented other strings in `test_conflicts.rs`. IMO, this looks nice and
more consistent with the `insta::assert_snapshot` output. I didn't spend the
time to do the same for `test_resolve_command`.
Now a compiled template doesn't have a static Context type internally. A
property is basically of "Fn() -> Result<O, _>" type, and a type-erased "self"
variable will be injected as needed.
Template<C> types will be refactored separately.
In short, this enables compilation of template of e.g. Vec<Commit> type by
using CommitTemplateLanguage.
A Template<C> was originally compiled for a specific type C, and invoked as
"Fn(&C) -> _". It was simple and intuitive, but we had to define the context
type C statically. Things got even worse by extensions support because we had
to provide object-safe hook point for each context type C.
This patch basically removes the Context type from compiled templates. The
"self" variable is injected through RefCell<Option<C>> placeholder. A compiled
template knows its "self" type, but the type can be decided per instance, not
per TemplateLanguage type. A drawback is that the "self" variable will have to
be cloned one more time.
The Template<C> abstraction no longer makes sense, and will be split to inner
Template<()> implementations (which usually represent printable types) and the
outer Template<C>.
The idea is basically the same as list.map(|x| ...) template. It compiles the
inner template with a placeholder variable of type 'C', and evaluate it for
each instance variable by injecting the variable through RefCell.
Because GenericTemplateLanguage doesn't support any global resources, it no
longer makes sense to pass the language instance around to 0-ary keyword
functions.
These .wrap_<type>() functions aren't supposed to capture resources from the
language instance. It was convenient that wrap_() could be called without fully
spelling the language type, but doing that would introduce lifetime issue in
later patches.
I added type alias L to several places because the language type is usually
called L in generic code.
As discussed in #2900, the milliseconds are rarely useful, and it can
be confusing with different timezones because it makes harder to
compare timestamps.
I added an environment variable to control the timestamp in a
cross-platform way. I didn't document because it exists only for tests
(like `JJ_RANDOMNESS_SEED`).
Closes#2900
Changes the formatter to accept not only existing color names (such as "red" or
"green") but also those in the form #rrggbb, where rr, gg, and bb are two-digit
hexadecimal numbers. This allows much finer control over colors used.
"-r REVISIONS" here specifies the search space of the branches to push, and
warned if no branches are found in that space. I don't think an empty set
should be an error, but a warning for consistency. The warning message will be
improved by the subsequent patches.
This command belongs to the same category as "duplicate".
We might want a plural version of resolve_revset(), but I'm not sure whether
it should return Vec<Commit> or Revset. Let's revisit it later when we get
more callers.
Suppose we have an alias 'immutable()' = '::immutable_heads()', user can
express (visible) mutable set as '~immutable()'. 'immutable_heads()..' can
terminate early, but a generic difference 'all() & ~immutable()' can't.
Suppose the generation value is usually small, it should be faster to do
bounded range look up first 'y-', then walk ancestors with the unwanted set
'y-..x'.
There's a subtle behavior change that an empty revset is no longer rejected
individually, but I think that's good for "jj duplicate".
cmd_duplicate() was the last caller of index.topo_order().
When an operation is missing and we recover the workspace, we create a
new working-copy commit on top of the desired working-copy commit (per
the available head operation). We then reset the working copy to an
empty tree because it shouldn't really matter much which commit we
reset to. However, when the workspace is sparse, it does matter, as
the test case from the previous patch shows. This patch fixes it by
replacing the `reset_to_empty()` method by a new `recover(&Commit)`,
which effectively resets to the empty tree and then resets to the
commit. That way, any subsequent snapshotting will result keep the
paths from that tree for paths outside the sparse patterns.
As shown by the updated test case, when we recover from a working copy
pointing to a lost operation, the new working-copy commit after
snapshotting will have lost any files outside the sparse patterns.
AST substitution is technically closer to parsing, but the parsed expression
can be modified further by caller. So I think it's better to do optimize() in
later pass.
revset_util::parse() is inlined.
Spotted while moving revset::optimize() around. Since we don't include the
parsing cost of the target expression, we shouldn't include parsing/evaluation
cost of the short-prefixes either. The IdPrefixContext is currently populated
by WorkspaceCommandHelper::new(), but it's hard to tell.
The original plan was to extend the globals table to implement "revset(expr)".
I'm not sure if that's more discoverable than "self.contained_in(revset_expr)"
method, but we can decide that later. Anyways, this patch adds typo suggestion
for global functions.
Prepares for migrating to table-based lookup. It's unlikely that the
implementor handles global function calls differently, but the core doesn't
have an access to the customized symbol table.
This is preparation for #3292, which will use these functions. The main
goal is to merge the parts of #3292 that are likely to cause merge
conflicts with other PRs while I polish it up.
This will be reused for integration with the new `:builtin-web` diff editor in #3292.
`instructions-path_to_cleanup` is moved into DiffWorkingCopies.
DiffWorkingCopies: add instructions_path_to_cleanup
This change updates the language of `jj edit`'s help message to be
more clear as to the nature of the command. It also adds a
recommendation for a more idiomatic/safer workflow.
I just wanted to remove CommandError from parse_immutable_expression(), which
will be called from the templater, but the new error message looks also better.
Some of them will be called directly from the commit templater which shouldn't
know WorkspaceCommandHelper. All parameters are passed as function arguments
instead of having a nicer wrapper struct. That's because some resources (e.g.
repo and id prefix context) are also used for different purposes, and it seemed
uneasy to introduce high-level abstraction satisfying all the use cases.
Now you can do e.g. `jj squash --from 'foo+::' --into foo` to squash a
whole series into one commit. It doesn't need to be linear; you can
squash a bunch of siblings into another siblings, for example.
Now as default and elided node symbols come from the config, the next logical
step is to use them directly bypassing GraphLog. Note that commands like `jj op
log` and `jj obslog` do not use the elided node symbol at all.
This was proposed by @Brixy in
https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/discussions/2882 a while ago. There
seems to be pretty strong consensus that it's a good idea.
I've copied the added test cases from `test_move_command.rs`, just
replacing `move` by `squash`, `--to` by `--into`, and deleting the
test of a no-arg invocation (`jj move` fails, `jj squash` does not -
it defaults to squashing into the parent).
This patch makes `jj squash` us the helper I just extracted from `jj
move`. I had a to add a few small features to it for that.
The `test_squash_command.rs` test changed in a few cases where we do a
partial squash. After this patch, we include the rebased child in the
count of rebased descendants. That seems reasonable and consistent
with partial squash/move further than 1 generation.
This is just a little step towards reusing the helper I just extracted
from `jj move`. I had to update `test_immutable_commits.rs` because it
would otherwise fail because of the merge rather than failing because
of the immutable commit.
I'm soon going to make `jj squash` accept either `-r` or
`--from/--to`, which means `-r` will then be optional. This patch
prepares for that already, since it also simplifies the code a little
(and improves it so we warn if the user does `jj squash -r @
nonexistent`).
This matches what we do for `jj squash`, whether it's a
full or partial move.
I didn't add a test since we're planning to deprecate `jj move`, and
this will soon be tested via the `jj squash` tests.
The `destination` variable we use when creating the operation log may
have been replaced earlier in the code. I think this was a regression
when I moved the setting of the description from `start_transaction()`
to `finish_transaction()` a while ago.
We haven't used custom Git commit headers for two main reasons:
1. I don't want commits created by jj to be different from any other
commits. I don't want Git projects to get annoyed by such commit
and reject them.
2. I've been concerned that tools don't know how to handle such
headers, perhaps even resulting in crashes.
The first argument doesn't apply to commits with conflicts because
such commits would never be accepted by a project whether or not they
use custom commit headers. The second argument is less relevant for
conflicted commits because most tools will be confused by such commits
anyway.
Storing conflict information in commit headers means that we can
transfer them via the regular Git wire protocol. We already include
the tree objects nested inside the root-level tree, so they will also
be transferred.
So, let's start by writing the information redundantly to the commit
header and to the existing storage. That way we can roll it back if we
realize there's a problem with using commit headers.
The `amend/unamend` aliases exist for smoothen onboarding for
Git/Mercurial users; I don't think we should recommend that users use
them, so I think it's fine if users override them as they
like. Therefore, I think they belong in the config.
This should address both use cases:
1. If from_relative_path() is directly called, the error says ".." shouldn't
be included in the (normalized) relative path.
2. If parse_fs_path() is used, the error message contains paths relative to
cwd. #3216
There's a caveat: "jj config list -Tname" will concatenate all names in a
single line. That's correct but useless. We might want some option or config
knob to complete missing "\n". This also applies to "log --no-graph".
This serves the role of the formatter in Mercurial, but the provided features
are rather restricted compared to mercurial.formatter. That's because both
implementation language "Rust" and jj's template language are statically typed.
The current implementation works well for simple commands like "config list -T",
but it might be not okay for "branch list -T". If we implement branch templating
by using the generic mechanism, the commit summary part would have to be
evaluated as a separate template:
-T 'branch_name ++ target_commit_summary' (target_commit_summary: Template)
instead of
-T 'branch_name ++ commit_summary(target_commit)' (target_commit: Commit)
where the branch template language is a superset of the commit template
language.
I'm going to add generic templating support for basic value types, and
"jj config list -T" will use CommandHelper::parse_template().
CommandHelper::load_template_aliases() is made private instead.
This will help deduplicate template parsing functions. We don't care about the
cost of config.get_string(), but I don't want to copy the config key to every
caller.
This could be a provided method of the TemplateLanguage trait, but it's
unlikely that this method would have to be customized by implementors. And
I'm going to add thin wrapper method to CommandHelper, so no users would
write language.parse(..) anyway.
I'm going to split commit/operation_templater::parse() into two parts, and
the first half will be Commit/OperationTemplateLanguage::new(..). This patch
also makes CommitTemplateLanguage::wrap_() functions public because extension
methods should be able to return property of these types.

The ExternalMergeTool struct has four 24-byte fields plus one bool. It could
be shrunk by dropping Vec/String capacity, but the resulting type would still
be bigger compared to the default Builtin variant.
I considered inlining tx.select_diff(), but that looked a bit cryptic because
the arguments orders are reasonably different. This thin wrapper will help
enforce the common interactive editing behavior.
This constructor has too many arguments enough to introduce a parameter struct,
which would be identical to the CommandHelper type. Let's simply inline it as
there are no external callers.
write!(ui.hint(), ..) error is suppressed because it seemed weird if the
configuration error had io::Error variant. The write error isn't important
anyway.
This moves the config loading closer to CLI args where --tool=<name> option
will be processed. The factory function are proxied through the command helper
so that the base_ignores can be attached there later.
I'm going to make them be loaded by caller, and these newtypes will provide
extra compile-time safety (plus nicer API to be added later.) The error types
will be cleaned up later patches.
This gets rid of the last UserSettings dependency from edit_diff_external().
I'm going to remove it from edit_diff() too, and let callers pass a
preconfigured MergeTool struct instead.
These changes will make it easier to add --tool=<name> argument #2575.
Because the snapshot directory is removed at the end of the function, it doesn't
make sense to enable watchman in it. The max_new_file_size parameter might be
somewhat useful, but it's unlikely that the temporary directory contains
gigantic node_modules tree for example. OTOH, the base_ignores matters since it
may contain common ignore patterns like *~.
This eliminates most of the UserSettings dependencies from this function.
