This commit fixes#1305
Before this commit, running `jj init --git-repo=./` in a folder that
does not have a .git would cause jj to panick and leave an unfinished corrupted jj repo.
This commit fixes that by changing the call chain to return an error
instead of calling .unwrap() and panicking. This commit also adds logic to delete the unfinished jj
repository when the git backend initialization failed.
Before this commit, running the above command would result in the following
```
Running `jj/target/debug/jj init --git-repo=./`
thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Error { code: -3, klass: 2, message: "failed to resolve path '/Users/kevincliao/github/jj/test-repo/.jj/repo/store/../../../.git': No such file or directory" }', lib/src/git_backend.rs:83:75
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
```
After this commit, the result is the following and the jj repo is deleted:
```
Running `jj/target/debug/jj init --git-repo=./`
Error: Failed to access the repository: Error: Failed to open git repository: failed to resolve path '/Users/kevincliao/github/jj/test-repo/.jj/repo/store/../../../.git': No such file or directory; class=Os (2); code=NotFound (-3)
```
The internal backend at Google doesn't let you write any value you
want for in the committer field. The `Store` type still caches the
value it attempted to write, which gets a little weird when the
written value is not what we tried to write. We should use the value
the backend actually wrote. However, we don't know if the backend
changed anything without reading the value back, which is often
wasteful. This commit changes the API to return the written value.
I only changed the signature of `write_commit()` for now. Maybe we
should make a similar change to `write_tree()`.
This has several advantages:
* Makes it possible to downcast to non-Git custom backends (might be
useful at Google, but we haven't needed it yet)
* Lets us access more specific functionality on the `GitBackend`,
making it possible to access the `git2::Repository` without
creating a copy of it.
* Removes the dependency on Git from the backend
Our internal backend at Google uses a 32-byte change id, so I'd like
to make the backend able to decide the length. To start with, let's
make the backend able to decide what the root change id should
be. That's consistent with how we already let the backend decide what
the root commit id should be.
The function is currently only about the length of commit IDs, so
let's clarify that. I'm going to add another function for the length
of change IDs next. I don't know if we're going to care about lengths
of other hashes in the future. We might even be able to remove the
current restriction that all commit IDs and all change IDs have the
same length.
Still UserSettings is cloned to WorkspaceCommandHelper, but I think this is
slightly better since CommandHelper and WorkspaceCommandHelper are scoped
based on call stack. Perhaps, UserSettings can be shared by Arc or immutable
reference.
I'm going to remove owned UserSettings from Ui so that UserSettings can be
instantiated after both user and repo configs are loaded. ui.cwd() belongs
to the same category (random environment stuff), and Ui doesn't depend on it,
so let's remove it first from Ui.
I'm not pretty sure if CommandHelper and WorkspaceCommandHelper should be
a permanent home for cwd and settings, but it works for now as CommandHelper
is immutable.
This allows us to chain custom dispatch functions. If CommandHelper were
moved or passed by mutable reference, weird thing could happen depending
on the call order.
parse_args() will probably become more involved to deal with --config-toml,
-R, and repository configs. This builder will hopefully allow us to move
things around without changing the high-level interface.
Teach Ui's writing functions to write to a pager without touching the
process's file descriptors. This is done by introducing UiOutput::Paged,
which spawns a pager that Ui's functions can write to.
The pager program can be chosen via `ui.pager`. (defaults to Defaults to
$PAGER, and 'less' if that is unset (falling back to 'less' also makes
the tests pass).
Currently, commands are paginated if:
- they have "long" output (as defined by jj developers)
- jj is invoked in a terminal
The next commit will allow pagination to be turned off via a CLI option.
More complex pagination toggling (e.g. showing a pager even if the
output doesn't look like a terminal, using a pager for shorter ouput) is
left for a future PR.
