We move the code to push the branches context into CheckoutRef, this way it
works consistently no matter where we call it from. Previously, checking out
remote branches or tags would switch to the branches view, but checking out a
commit did not.
Note that it now also takes effect for undoing or redoing a checkout, which may
be a bit questionable; but I still think it makes sense for this, too.
This doesn't really solve a pressing problem, because I guess it's unlikely that
users add spaces at the beginning or end of what they type into a prompt; but it
could happen, and in this case we almost always want to strip it. Just adding
this here for completeness while I was working on this code.
The only exception is the input prompt of custom commands, because who knows
what users want to use that input for in their custom command.
Most of our prompts don't (shouldn't) allow empty input, but most callers didn't
check, and would run into cryptic errors when the user pressed enter at an empty
prompt (e.g. when creating a new branch). Now we simply don't allow hitting
enter in this case, and show an error toast instead.
This behavior is opt-out, because there are a few cases where empty input is
supported (e.g. creating a stash).
Previously it was used both for the Confirm handler and the Cancel handler, as
well as for the Confirm handler of confirmation popups (not prompts). There was
no other way to do it given how wrappedConfirmationFunction was shared between
all these; but now there is. The logic is really only needed for the Confirm
handler of prompts.
This doesn't fix anything, it just makes things clearer.
And call this new helper function from both wrappedConfirmationFunction and
wrappedPromptConfirmationFunction; this gives us more flexibility to do
different things in each of those.
The existing diff parser incorrectly treated subsequent lines beginning
with "---" as filename headers while processing hunks. This caused
corruption when dashed lines appeared within diffs themselves.
Restrict filename detection to only occur between hunks.
This will put whatever git's default merge variant is as the first menu item,
and add a second item which is the opposite (no-ff if the default is ff, and
vice versa).
If users prefer to always have the same option first no matter whether it's
applicable, they can make ff always appear first by setting git's "merge.ff"
config to "true" or "only", or by setting lazygit's "git.merging.args" config to
"--ff" or "--ff-only"; if they want no-ff to appear first, they can do that by
setting git's "merge.ff" config to "false", or by setting lazygit's
"git.merging.args" config to "--no-ff". Which of these they choose depends on
whether they want the config to also apply to other git clients including the
cli, or only to lazygit.
- Squash and FastForwardOnly are mutually exclusive, and instead of asserting
this at runtime, model the API so that they can't be passed together.
- FastForwardOnly is unused, so remove it; however, we are going to need --ff
and --no-ff in the next commit, so add those instead.
- Instead of putting the enum into the MergeOpts struct, replace the struct by
the enum. We can reintroduce the struct when we add more arguments, but for
now it's an unnecessary indirection.
Stashing doesn't affect submodules, so if you have a working copy that has
out-of-date submodules but no other changes, and then you revert or paste a
commit (or invoke one of the many other lazygit commands that auto-stash, e.g.
undo), lazygit would previously try to stash changes (which did nothing, but
also didn't return an error), perform the operation, and then pop the stash
again. If no stashes existed before, then this would only cause a confusing
error popup ("error: refs/stash@{0} is not a valid reference"), but if there
were stashes, this would try to pop the newest one of these, which is very
undesirable and confusing.
Whenever git returns the error "The previous cherry-pick is now empty", we would
previously continue the rebase; this works for rebase because it behaves the
same as "git rebase --skip" in this case. That's not true for cherry-pick
though; if you continue a cherry-pick where the current commit is empty, it will
return the same error again, causing lazygit to be stuck in an endless loop.
Fix this by skipping instead of continuing; this shouldn't make a difference for
rebase, but works for cherry-pick.
Theoretically we could have a similar problem for revert (if you are trying to
revert a commit that has already been undone through some other means); this
should then be fixed in the same way with this change. However, the change is
not relevant for revert because git returns a different error in this case.
When focusing the main view, going into full screen mode by pressing '+' twice,
and then opening the search prompt ('/') or a menu (e.g. '?' or ':'), the full
screen display would switch to the focused side panel.
Fix this by always excluding popups from the window arrangement logic. No popup
should ever have any influence on how the views beneath it are laid out.
This is likely to do bad things; for example, if the prompt is the shell command
prompt, then we would run into what looks like a deadlock bug in tcell. In other
cases, the characters in the following lines might be treated as random commands
after the prompt is confirmed.
Replace merge-tool with merge options menu that allows resolving all
conflicts for selected files as ours, theirs, or union, while still
providing access to the merge tool.
Previously, the feedback you got when pressing "-" was just a "Checking out..."
status in the bottom line. This was both easy to miss if you are used to looking
for an inline status in the branches panel, and it didn't provide information
about which branch was being checked out, which can be annoying in very large
repos where checking out takes a while, and you only see at the end if you are
now on the right branch.
Improve this by trying to figure out which branch was the previously checked out
one, and then checking it out normally so that you get an inline status next to
it (as if you had pressed space on it). There are cases where this fails, e.g.
when the previously checked out ref was a detached head, in which case we fall
back to the previous behavior.
So far, confirmations and prompts were handled by the same view, context, and
controller, with a bunch of conditional code based on whether the view is
editable. This was more or less ok so far, since it does save a little bit of
code duplication; however, now we need separate views, because we don't have
dynamic keybindings, but we want to map "confirm" to different keys in
confirmations (the "universal.confirm" user config) and prompts (hard-coded to
enter, because it doesn't make sense to customize it there).
It also allows us to get rid of the conditional code, which is a nice benefit;
and the code duplication is actually not *that* bad.
In some cases we set a disabled reason but leave the text empty, so that we
don't get an error toast when the item is invoked. In such a case it looks
awkward if there is a tooltip showing "Disabled: " with no following text.
When showing a confirmation whose text ended with a line feed, we would make the
popup panel one line less tall than it needs to be, so it would show a scroll
bar. One example where this occurred is the very first popup that users ever see
(the "seriously you rock" message for new users); that's a pretty bad first
impression.
This happens because our code to suppress trailing newlines in views doesn't
work for styled text, and the text in confirmations is bold. This code checks if
the last character of the text is a line feed, and in this case it isn't; the
escape sequence for turning bold off comes after it.
We should really fix this by improving that mechanism, but this would require
some tricky logic, so as a quick fix, trim trailing (and leading) linefeeds from
the text that we display in a confirmation, before making it bold.
This makes it easier to use the full ref in the git merge-base call, which
avoids ambiguities when there's a tag with the same name as the current branch.
This fixes a hash coloring bug in the local commits panel when there's a tag
with the same name as the checked out branch; in this case all commit hashes
that should be yellow were painted as red.
Also, fix two other commands that stage all files under the hood:
- when continuing a rebase after resolving conflicts, we auto-stage all files,
but in this case we never want to include untracked files, regardless of the
filter
- likewise, pressing ctrl-f to find a base commit for fixup stages all files for
convenience, but again, this should only stage files that are already tracked
When filtering for a file path we use the --follow option for "git log", so it
will follow renames of the file, which is great. However, if you then selected
one of the commits before a rename, you didn't see a diff, because we would pass
the original filter path to the "git show" call.
To fix this, call git log with the --name-status option when filtering by path,
so that each commit reports which file paths are touched in this commit;
remember these in the commit object, so that we can pass them to the "git show"
call later.
Be careful not to store too many such paths unnecessarily. When filtering by
folder rather than file, all these paths will necessarily be inside the original
filter path, so detect this and don't store them in this case.
There is some unfortunate code duplication between loading commits and loading
reflog commits, which I am too lazy to clean up right now.
I don't know why this function argument was added, but I don't like unnecessary
indirections, so I'm removing it as SubCommitsHelper has access to everything it
needs to do it itself.
Recycle reflog commits only for the non-filtered ones.
If we're not filtering, FilteredReflogCommits and ReflogCommits are the same. If
we then enter filtering and get reflog entries again, and pass a
lastReflogCommit, we'd recycle the previous FilteredReflogCommits, which are
unfiltered, so that's no good. Work around this by simply never using the
recycle mechanism when getting the filtered reflog commits.
We could do better by remembering what the last filter path or author was, and
only suppressing the recycling when it changed; but that's more complexity than
I want to add, so hopefully this is good enough.
I can only guess what happened here: in aa750c0819, this code to manually load
the reflog commits was added, to make sorting branches by recency work when the
reflog is filtered by path. At that time we didn't have separate ReflogCommits
and FilteredReflogCommits models yet. Then, FilteredReflogCommits was introduced
(in 8822c409e2), probably for the very purpose of being able to get rid of this
again; but then it was forgotton to actually get rid of it.
The funny thing is that the introduction of FilteredReflogCommits happened in
the very next commit, 15 minutes later.
Since filtering switches to half-screen mode in the local commits panel, most
people probably didn't notice, but we do also filter those other views. So when
leaving half-screen mode (but not filtering), you could switch to sub-commits or
stashes, and those would show the filtered view only after the next refresh
(e.g. after a background fetch). It's worse when leaving filtering, because this
goes back to normal screen mode, and you would often see an empty stashes panel
after that (until the next background fetch), which is quite confusing.
I also find it questionable to always switch focus to the commits panel when
entering filtering. If it is initiated from subcommits, reflog, or stashes,
maybe we want to stay there. I'm not changing this now since I'm unsure how much
people rely on the current behavior.
When exiting filtering mode while the focus is not in the local commits panel,
the call to HandleFocus would render the selection in the commits panel as if
the panel had the focus.
The call to HandleFocus was introduced recently in 4981419ba9 in an attempt to
rerender the main view correctly, but it should only have been called when local
commits is the focused context. But instead, we can use PostRefreshUpdate, which
handles this distinction.
When entering filtering we would only call FocusLine, which takes care of
highlighting the selected line in the commits list, but not of re-rendering the
main view. HandleFocus does that.
When exiting filtering, the HandleFocus call was missing entirely.
The tests needed to be reworked a little bit to make this testable.
At the same time, we change the defaults for both of them to "date" (they were
"recency" and "alphabetical", respectively, before). This is the reason we need
to touch so many integration tests. For some of them I decided to adapt the test
assertions to the changed sort order; for others, I added a SetupConfig step to
set the order back to "recency" so that I don't have to change what the test
does (e.g. how many SelectNextItem() calls are needed to get to a certain
branch).
When toggling the value in the UI we simply overwrite the value in UserConfig;
this would be bad if there was ever a chance that we want to write the user
config back to disk, but it is very unlikely that we can do that, because
currently we have no way to tell which parts of the config come from the global
config file and which ones come from a repo-local one.
We only want to do this when the function is called from the remote branches
panel. It can also be called with a selection of local branches in order to
delete their remote branches, but in this case the selection shouldn't be
collapsed because the local branches stay around.
