For the "cli" and "tui" modes of the test runner there's a "-race" parameter to
turn it on; for running tests on CI with go test, you turn it on by setting the
environment variable LAZYGIT_RACE_DETECTOR to a non-empty value.
This is useful for example to pass both -slow and -debug. Since we're about to
add yet another flag in the next commit, it becomes even more important. Plus,
it makes the code a little nicer too.
Previously there was no way to render a view's search status without also moving the cursor
to the current search match. This caused issues where we wanted to display the status
after leaving the view and coming back, or when beginning a new search from within the
view.
This commit separates the two use cases so we only move the cursor when we're actually
selecting the next search match
Now that we no longer show it in a loader panel, but in the app status view,
it's awkwardly long (the loading animation is much further to the right than for
other waiting status texts). Hopefully seeing just "Fast-forwarding <branch>" is
enough to be able to tell what's happening.
We do this for two reasons:
- when popping up a credentials prompt, it looks distracting if the waiting
status keeps spinning while the user is typing the password
- the task that updates the waiting status periodically would keep the program
busy, so integration tests would wait forever for the program to become idle
again
This can be useful when you know that a cherry-picked commit would conflict at
the tip of your branch, but doesn't at the beginning of the branch (or
somewhere in the middle). In that case you want to be able to edit the commit
before where you want to insert the cherry-picked commits, and then paste to
insert them into the todo list at that point.
This is useful to disable items that are not applicable right now because of
some condition (e.g. the "delete branch" menu item when the currently
checked-out branch is selected).
When a DisabledReason is set on a menu item, we
- show it in a tooltip (below the regular tooltip of the item, if it has one)
- strike through the item's key, if it has one
- show an error message with the DisabledReason if the user tries to invoke the
command
This prevents commands like "go test ./..." from looking into it, and it
prevents VS Code's Problems panel from showing errors about the go files in that
folder.
I often find it more convenient to start a lazygit process in a terminal window
and then attach to it, rather than have VS Code launch one for me.
Note that this doesn't work with "go run main.go". It does work with "make run",
however.
Make sure there's only one lazygit process running, otherwise VS Code will open
a chooser with all the running processes to pick one from, but it's pretty much
impossible to tell which is which.
As far as I can tell, there's not much of a difference in behavior between the
two. The advantage of doing it this way is that you can attach a debugger to the
running lazygit process; see next commit.
