This commit fixes a bug where AsciiDoc would drop any line containing a
'{foo}' because it interpreted it as an undefined attribute reference:
> Simple attribute references take the form {<name>}. If the attribute name
> is defined its text value is substituted otherwise the line containing the
> reference is dropped from the output.
See: https://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/chunked/ch30.html
We fix this by simply replacing all occurrences of '{' and '}' with
their escaped forms: '{' and '}'.
Fixes#1101
This also updates some code to make use of our more liberal versioning
requirement, including the use of crossbeam-channel instead of the MsQueue
from the older an unmaintained crossbeam 0.3. This does regrettably add
a sizable number of dependencies, however, compile times seem mostly
unaffected.
Closes#1019
This commit does the work to delete the old `grep` crate and effectively
rewrite most of ripgrep core to use the new libripgrep crates. The new
`grep` crate is now a facade that collects the various crates that make
up libripgrep.
The most complex part of ripgrep core is now arguably the translation
between command line parameters and the library options, which is
ultimately where we want to be.
This fixes CI to handle the new documentation files. We also continue to
do more cleanup. In particular, we devise a nicer way of detecting the
most recent Cargo OUT_DIR by writing a dummy file, and looking for the
most recently modified version of that file.
This commit adds support for hidden flags. The purpose of hidden flags
is for things that end users likely won't need unless they have a
configuration file that disables ripgrep's defaults. These flags will
provide a way to re-enable ripgrep's defaults.
This commit uses the recent refactoring for defining flags to
automatically generate a man page. This finally allows us to define the
documentation for each flag in a single place.
The man page is generated on every build, if and only if `asciidoc` is
installed. When generated, it is placed in Cargo's `OUT_DIR` directory,
which is the same place that shell completions live.
This commit makes the git hash ripgrep was built with available for use
in the version string.
We also do a few minor touchups in build.rs and src/app.rs.
This commit updates clap to v2.23.0
The update contained a bug fix in clap that results in broken code in
ripgrep. ripgrep was relying on the bug, but this commit fixes that
issue. The bug centered around not being able to override the
auto-generated help message by supplying a flag with a long of `help`.
Normally, supplying a flag with a long of `help` means whenever the user
passes `--help`, the consuming code (e.g. ripgrep) is responsible for
displaying the help message. However, due to the bug in clap this wasn't
necessary for ripgrep to do unless the user passed `-h`. With the bug
fixed, it meant the user passing `--help` and clap expected ripgrep to
display the help, yet ripgrep expected clap to display the help. This
has been fixed in this commit of ripgrep.
All well now!
v2.23.0 also brings the abilty to use `Arg::help` or `Arg::long_help`
allowing one to distinguish between `-h` and `--help`. This commit
leaves all doc strings in the `lazy_static!` hashmap however only for
aesthetic reasons.
This means all home rolled handling of `-h`/`--help` has been removed
from ripgrep, yet functionality *and* appearances are 100% the same.
The --max-filesize option allows filtering files which are larger than
the specified limit. This is potentially useful if one is attempting to
search a number of large files without common file-types/suffixes.
See #369.
There were two important reasons for the switch:
1. Performance. Docopt does poorly when the argv becomes large, which is
a reasonable common use case for search tools. (e.g., use with xargs)
2. Better failure modes. Clap knows a lot more about how a particular
argv might be invalid, and can therefore provide much clearer error
messages.
While both were important, (1) made it urgent.
Note that since Clap requires at least Rust 1.11, this will in turn
increase the minimum Rust version supported by ripgrep from Rust 1.9 to
Rust 1.11. It is therefore a breaking change, so the soonest release of
ripgrep with Clap will have to be 0.3.
There is also at least one subtle breaking change in real usage.
Previous to this commit, this used to work:
rg -e -foo
Where this would cause ripgrep to search for the string `-foo`. Clap
currently has problems supporting this use case
(see: https://github.com/kbknapp/clap-rs/issues/742),
but it can be worked around by using this instead:
rg -e [-]foo
or even
rg [-]foo
and this still works:
rg -- -foo
This commit also adds Bash, Fish and PowerShell completion files to the
release, fixes a bug that prevented ripgrep from working on file
paths containing invalid UTF-8 and shows short descriptions in the
output of `-h` but longer descriptions in the output of `--help`.
